As the two came out of the closet, Gary headed out first, keeping a look out for anyone coming. Luckily during lights out it was rather dark, except for a few lights down the halls. Amazingly in the game room the only light source was coming from the TV, which illuminated Maurice who was laughing at an episode he had already seen about ten times and a small light in the nurse's office.
Gary quickly crawled on his hands and knees towards Marius and reached up, snipping his jacket straps—keeping just a small strand so that they could break easily. Alice crawled towards the TV and waited for Gary to get into a hiding spot before she cut the wire, for she knew what was going to happen. Once out of sight, she snipped the electrical cord and the TV shut off.
Maurice roared with rage! He jolted up and frantically kicked the TV trying to get it to come on, but to no avail. His loud, booming voice could be heard through out the entire asylum as he began to throw a tantrum fit! Just as Alice had said, everyone would come running to help calm down the beast—including the two lovers down in the lock system room.
Once everyone had come to try to calm Maurice down, which was about only four or five people and majority being women, Gary bolted down the hallway to the lock room while Alice ran into the nurse's office and activated the fire alarms and also the security systems. The alarms sounded! Ceiling sprinklers were activated! Patients were screaming and flipping out! It was all utter chaos and soothing music to Alice's ears. Her plan was actually working!
Gary skid into the door lock system room and quickly flipped up every single lever there was. With a loud buzz, every door was opened and patients took off! Some toppling over people, pushing, shoving, biting, crying—they were all running towards the front door. Gary meshed into the crowd and caught up with Alice who managed to get out of the office before one of the nurses called to get reinforcements. Grabbing her hand, Gary and Alice took off at a run as soon as they saw the gate was slowly closing.
"Damn! That nurse began deactivating everything!" yelled Alice, amongst the other screaming patients.
"Come on!" he yelled as they began to run faster.
The gate was opened just enough for the two of them to jump through, but unfortunately Gary saw the one person he didn't want to see. The fat nurse he had an altercation with was standing at the gate, glaring at him. Gary and Alice jolted to a stop.
"Well! Coulda figured it was you, causing all this. I knew you'd never be a good boy. Guess you and your little tight piece of ass will have to pay for this now won't you?"
Gary let go of Alice's hand and instantly threw his bag at the nurse. While distracted, Gary ran up to him and started wailing on him. When the man finally realized what was happening he retorted and punched Gary hard in the face with his fat hand, knocking him to his knee. He then grabbed Gary by the shirt and threw him into the gate. Suddenly the nurse pulled out a switchblade knife.
"This will teach you to call me a fat ass you little punk!" Gary scrambled to get up quickly, in hopes that he would out run the man's fat arm, but just as Gary was about to face his demise, he heard an unexpected piercing scream that seemed to echo in the darkness.
