Today was the day. We had all prepared for this, and we couldn't be more ready. Everybody was running around like crazy. Me and Panthera was carrying the beds over towards the door, blocking their entrance so we could have some extra time to get fully ready when it was time. Stacking four of them on eachother, we highfived quickly and walked over towards the bathroom.
"So, if you see us fall over, or we get caught, what do you do, Milo?," She asked, looking at him in a serious manner.
"I'll continue running, no matter what!," He said, smiling at her as she patted his back. Scratching my back, I looked at my tight shirt. As Hemsen threw me in here without a shirt, I had borrowed one of Sam's, as she was the only wolf. It was exactly the same as the one I got when I arrived here, except for the different size, the Emily corp on it and everything.
"Good going, kiddo'," I said as we walked by.
"You know, Isaac, I'm scared," Panthera said, looking over at me. "It'd be all alright, but I can't stop thinking.. Hemsen's going to have the remote.. As soon as he knows we escape, he's going to activate it.. And.. With how Milo reacts to it," He mumbled, making me stop dead in my tracks.
"We'll.. We'll find out something," I said, sighing as I grabbed the entire sleeves of my shirt, ripping it off and handing them to Pantera, as he gave me a questioning look. "If he goes out of control, restrain him," I said, nodding once as we continued to walk towards the bathroom, grabbing the rest of the pipes and walked back into the mess hall. Kane walked out with a makeshift backpack, with God knows what inside. Just as I was about to walk over to the door, I was stopped by Pantera.
"I'm more worried about what happens when you get affected by it," He stated, looking at me with a serious look. Sighing, I rubbed my neck.
"I.. Suppose we'll have to trust that I can control myself. If not, I bet one of the guards we come across will have cuffs on him," I said, nodding at him reassuringly, recieving a nod back. Letting me pass him, I changed directions, and walked over to Milo and Sam, sitting down with them.
"Hey guys, how's it going?," I asked, forcing a smile.
"Great. Isaac, do you really think we're going to get out?," Milo asked, looking up at me with hope in his eyes.
"Of course, Milo. Being this prepared.. And granted that nothing goes wrong.. Well, I'd say we have a pretty good chance," I said, smiling as I petted the tiger, nodding once reassuringly. "Hey.. Uh, Milo, when we actually do get out.. Where are we going to go with you? Where's your parents?," I asked him, giving Sam a look, who simply shrugged.
"Well.. When I was last with my mom and dad, we where at a park in Zootopia, visiting from the Sahara and I met Hemsen.. He was really nice at first, and even brought me, my mom and dad some ice cream.. We spent the whole day with him... But when we were ready to head home.. He.. Grabbed me and ran," As Milo started to crawl up, tears starting to well up in his eyes. "And I," He attempted to continue, before I put a hand on his shoulder. Out of nowhere, he ran towards me, hugging me tightly. In my surprise, I held me arms out, looking over at Sam, who looked just as surprised as me. I hadn't even known him for two full days, yet here he was, hugging me when Sam was right next to us. Slowly putting my hands on his back, I patted him.
"It's alright, buddy. We'll get you back to your parents," I said, patting him. "If it's the last thing I-," Interupted by what sounded like a kick from the doors, I widened my eyes.
"Agh, God damnit.. It's jammed! You, get this shit open," A familiar voice said from behind the door, as we all stood up, me still holding Milo.
"Alright, Milo, you're going to have to let go, we're getting out of here," I said, looking at him. He simply nodded, and I ran over towards the table, putting Milo down. Kane and Sam hid behind it aswell, as me and Pantera ran towards the wall next to the door. Grabbing the toilet cleaner and the jar, full of tin foil, from the ground. Filling the jar with the toilet cleaner, I quickly closed the cap on the jar as it started to bubble inside. Looking over at Pantera, we both nodded once. Hearing the sound of Buffalos moving around, we braced for impact.
A loud slam was heard against the door, as the beds blocking the door moved slightly.
"Again!," The sound of Hemsen screaming made me clench the jar, and grab a nearby pipe as I frowned. "What the fuck has these freaks been doing?!," He yelled. Hearing the buffalos backing up for another hit, I braced for impact, knowing this would be the one.
The what I presumed was buffalos slammed into the wall, causing the beds to fly aside. As soon as the doors flew open, I threw the jar into the ground, as a massive boom was heard, echoing throughout the whole place. Covering my eyes with my arms, I felt my forearms getting absoloutely shredded by the glass shards from the homemade bomb. Hearing the screams from the buffalos, I could only presume they hade fared worse. Grabbing the makeshift riotshield, me and Pantera appeared from the cover of the walls, seeing four buffalos laying on the ground, bleeding, aswell as a Hyena in a leather jacket leaned against the wall. Widening his eyes at the sight of me, Hemsen reached for his jacketpocket for what I could only guess was the remote.
"You motherfuc-" I interupted him as he gritted his teeth by throwing a swing with the pipe at him, causing blood to spray on the white hallway. Doing it again, I heard a sickening crack from his nose, as he fell unconscious. Looking up from behind me, I saw Sam, Pantera, Milo and Kane running out of the mess hall, looking around themselves in the massive hallway.
"This way!," Kane yelled out, taking the lead as we all followed him, Milo jumping up on Pantera's back and staying on there with help from his claws. The hallway lead to a distant staircase, aswell as a continuing hallway to the right. Hearing distant running, I frowned, lifting the riot shield I was holding. Soon enough, five buffalos ran out of the hallway to our right, equipped with tazers ran towards us. Upon seeing us, they lifted their weapons, firing them towards us. Hitting the table and my improvised door shield, they did nothing more than damage the doors. Ramming into them, I caused some of them to stagger back, at the cost of totally destroying my improvised shield. Sliding on the ground, I saw the remaining standing buffalos load another set of cartridges in their tazers. Slowly balancing myself, I got ripped up by one of Sam's paw's as she pulled me in behind the table they had turned around.
"Idiot!," She said, causing me to laugh. As we got to the staircase, it became all to clear that we couldn't have the table anymore to protect us, it was too small to fit the table. Looking over at the others, they seemed to be realizing it aswell. We all shared a pair of looks, before all at the same time letting go of the table and running down the staircase. A frenzy of tazer cartridges followed us, as we decended down to the next floor. As we got down to the next floor, a metal door blocked our entry. Me and Pantera slammed into it and forced it open, revealing shelves upon shelves of clothes, laptops, phones, everything. The shelves were categorized by races, and one side for each gender. Stopping by wolves, I crept in and started to search through the shelves as Pantera and Kane started to lock up the door. Patting through their clothing, I ripped out every wallet I could find, taking license and cash they had on them, stacking them at the end of one shelf as I patted through the pockets of all of them, pausing at one in particular. A pair of suit pants. Slowly creeping my hand into it, I found a car key. Not just any car key. A key for a Camaro SS. With a grin, I put it aside, I pulled the guy's wallet out and grabbed his driving license, looking down at it. Black fur. Perfect. Putting it aside aswell, I grabbed his phone and took that aswell. Finding my things, I started to unbutton my shirt and pants, slipping them off and putting on my familiar black woolen coat, smiling.
"All these peopl- Isaac, what are you doing?!," Sam asked me, as I looked over at her in only my underwear, midnight blue shirt and coat.
"... Getting dressed up?," I half asked, as I recieved and sigh from her, only for her to go to the female side of wolves. I guess she had the same idea. Slipping on my pants, I patted my chest to reassure that my M1911 was there. Chuckling, I pulled it out, and slid out an empty magazine, putting it in my pocket and replaced it with one from the other pocket, pulling back the slide. Walking out from the corner, I grabbed the man's driver license, his phone, the phone, the cash I hoarded from all the wallets, the ID's and the key's, shoving the items into my pockets.
"Alright, you guys ready to go?," I asked as I exitted the shelf, only to see Pantera, Milo and Kane on their knees. Sam was still in around the shelves getting dressed. The buffalos had broken through the door whilst I was scavenging, without me noticing. As they saw me, they levelled their tazers towards me, only for me to dive behind the shelves, as a wave of the tazers missed their mark. Pulling out the pistol, I lifted it and fired pot shots from my cover. The buffalos, with unloaded tazers, started to retreat out the door, leaving the three behind. Getting up, they grabbed the door, and slammed it shut again.
"You guys go get what you need, I'll be right here," I said, jogging towards the door and lifting my M1911 towards it. Pantera and Kane looked at eachother briefly, before running out towards their race's section, as I heard clothes being dropped on the floor and them ripping up things from their shelves.
"I'm truly dissapointed, Isaac. I thought we could agree something. But you still have options. Surrender, and my guards will safely escort you back to the mess hall," I heard Emily say through speakers from the ceiling.
"Screw that noise," Sam said from behind me. Turning around, I saw her, followed by Kane and Pantera. She was donning a black leather jacket, along with some average blue jeans. Kane had changed to a full black suit, with a dark grey shirt underneath. Kneeling down, he brushed dust off his loafers. Pantera was donning a normal black T shirt, and a pair of jeans.
"Preach," Pantera said.
"... Guys.. Can we go now?," I heard Milo said from the background, as he appeared out of the dark, jumping up on Pantera's back, climbing up and sitting on his shoulder.
"Right," I said, before kicking up the door, immediately getting grazed by a tranquilizer bolt, making a hole in my coat. Lifting my M1911, I replied with two bullets towards my attacker. A buffalo fell over on the stairs, dead with a tranquilizer in his hands. "Son of a bitch!," I yelled, looking down at my coat.
"Are you alright?," Sam asked, grabbing my arm.
"Yeah, he ruined my coat," I mumbled, as Sam pushed me, before we all ran up the stairs, me in lead with the colt readied. As we came up, we were greeted by three guards, firing a pair of tranquilizer bolts and tazer towards us. Falling down in the stairs, to take cover, I peeked up, firing off bullets and hitting several off them, before the rest backed off. Attempting to fire once again, I was met by a click. Muttering a swear, I looked behind me as I slid out the magazine. Behind me, I saw Pantera holding Milo, who had an dart in his chest. Pulling it out, he looked up at me and shook his head, simply saying "Out could,". Looking over at Sam, I saw her passed out on the stairs, with Kane attempting to pick her up. Sighing, I walked over towards them, grabbing Sam by her jacket and pulling her over my shoulder, carrying her. Getting up the stairs, I held the pistol with on hand, and Sam with my other hand, as we headed into the hallway. As me, Pantera and Kane ran through the hallway, we aimlessly followed it until we got to what looked like an entre. Smiling, we continued through the room, as a pair of double doors with a green Exit sign above it showed itself. Pantera walked up to the door, and pulled it with all his might.
"It won't budge!," He said, trying with all his might. Putting down Sam, I pulled with him. Locked.
"You should have listened to me, Isaac. Now you'll all pay," Emily said, as I turned to the ceiling, yelling at the top of my lungs.
"FUCK YOU!," I yelled, turning to the door and aiming my pistol towards the handle, shooting to bust it open. To my surprise, it opened up, and Kane and Pantera rushed ahead. Holstering my Colt, I grabbed Sam with both my arms and ran out. Outside, it was a downpour. As soon as I got out, rain drenched us both. Seeing Pantera holding Milo, and Kane standing on a parking lot infront of me, I ran towards them, looking down at Sam, smiling as I laughed outloud.
"We made it out!," I yelled with glee, before a familiar buzz was felt in my chest. Falling down halfway from Pantera and the others, I let go Sam, as she fell down on the ground.
"Isaac!," I heard Pantera scream from behind me. Him and Kane ran up to me, before they looked behind me, with pure fear in their eyes. Looking down at me, Pantera shook his head and closed his eyes, grabbing Sam with one of his paws and holding Milo with the other.
"I'm sorry," He said, before running away, Kane following. They went into a car parked by the side, started it and speeding off.
"Well, mutt, looks like your friends left you," Hemsen said from behind me, as he kicked me in the face. Rolling around on the ground, I stood up, only to recieve multiple punches in my stomach. Slamming my hand into the side of his palm, I directed his hit away from me, and bit him in his shoulder, causing him to scream. Pulling my head backwards, I grabbed the remote from his pocket, I turned the remote off, as the taste of blood in my mouth almost made me vomit. Ripping my jaws off his shoulder, hunks of flesh followed. I kicked him once, causing him to fall down, holding his shoulder. "You fucking monster! You look down at me, but maybe you should look in the mirror for a change!," He yelled, causing me to look over to a puddle and look at my own, blood caked face. Turning, I fished the key out of my pocket and ran off, searching briefly for the Camaro. Opening the door, I slammed it behind me and turned the car on, speeding off in the rain as tears started to well up in my eyes.
