chapter 10 level 3
Penny and Sheldon
"ill call Rajj tell him were here". Sheldon nodded. Penny punched in Rajjs number and waited for him to pick up. he answered after three rings. "Hi Rajj im outside can you meet us". a moments silence. "thanks". she put the phone down and yawned tiredly. "he will be meeting us in just a minute". "ok" Sheldon said.
Rajj/ Howard
Rajj put his phone down Howard looked at him. "Penny is here ill be back in a minute". Howard nodded. and he exited the room. Howard turned to the team and asked "how long till the team get here? Howard asked getting frustrated. "we need to find out where this is coming from and we need it Now!" "i know" she said turning to him "they will be here in 10 minutes". "10 minutes to long" he whispered sarcastically.
Penny Sheldon
Penny jumped out of her car as soon as she saw Rajj leave the building, "Rajj!" she shouted shivering in the cold night air, white mist coming out of her mouth. "Hi Penny" he said walking over to her "you ok". "fine" she said her teeth chattering. before she new it he was offering her his coat she gladly took it "thankyou" "your welcome" he smiled "now lets get you and Sheldon inside before you both freeze". Rajj walked over to the passenger side and eased sheldon out of his seat and helped him to stand one hand on his waist and Sheldons over Rajjs shoulders.
Penny locked the car and helped Rajj with Sheldon and got inside. Penny gasped happy to feel the warmth on her skin.
Leonard Amanda and Beverly left the room and carried on through the maze of hallways and corridors that led to practically nowhere. Beverly was helping Amanda stay steady on her feet. while Leonard walked slightly ahead thinking about Amanda something wasnt right he could feel it. "where have i seen her before?" he mentally asked himself.
He stopped for a second. both women looked at him in confusion. "what is it?" Amanda asked. a lone door ahead of them caught Leonards eye. "This might be it, the final test" he said motioning towards the door.
Sheldon, Penny and Rajj made it toward the lab and Sheldon looked in horror at the sight on the monitors. "why is he covered in blood?" Penny suddenly asked looking toward Howard and Rajj. they looked at each other and said "hes been coughing it up time after time, we don't know why" he finished looking down towards the floor. "we don't know how much longer hes going to last either if he stays there any longer". There thoughts were interupted by a group of people walking through the doors. for the time being they were asked to leave the room so they could set up there equipment. they quickly left Rajj and Howard helping Sheldon, penny following close behind. Howard quickly turned and asked "will you keep us updated if there is any changes in the situation". she nodded and they left towards the canteen in hope of getting something to drink.
They made there way towards the door only to find out it was open but stuck on something. Leonards gave it a push and it wouldn't move. "damn" he said leaning over and choking more blood.
Beverly moved Leonard and went in his place to try and open the door. she moved quicker in hope of it moving. Amanda soon joined in helping her. "1,2,3 push" she breathed. "again". they heard a snap and the door swung open leaving the two women on the floor, they got up quickly and helped Leonard. Leonard examined the room a well lit room with a door at the other side and what seemed to be a timer "this can't be good" he said worriedly.
he turned and saw what looked like an envelope. Leonard written on it. he walked over to it and wripped it off putting the tape into the recorder he kept from challenge 1.
"Hello Leonard I want to play a game" the voice echoed. inside this room lies the key to the door that leads you all to the last test. all you have to do is find it. ill give you a clue, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Leonard frowned for a minute before spotting a hole under a disused bed. he moved it out of the way to reveal a pit of needles "jesus" leonard whispered.
"i also like to thank the girl with you" he continued. "for helping me gather the others" Leonard looked up at her. "live or die make your choice" then the tape stopped. "what does he mean?" beverly asked. "The one who put us here" Leonard said never breaking eye contact with Amanda. "I remember everything now, You were the one I saw as I was leaving, the last person I saw before I woke up here". "im sorry" she whispered. "sorry". Leonard plastered a smile on his face "Sorry doesnt cut it Amanda!" he said in a more serious tone his voice rising. "I did what I had to do" she said. "what was that then Amanda, Send us to our deaths!. 3 minutes left on the door. Leonard looked at the pit and then her before running to her and grabbing her by her forearm and shoved her toward the pit. "No Noooo" she screamed "please". "to late" Leonard said throwing her over the edge into the pit.
Caltech
The team in Sheldons office were working non stop looking for the source of the video feed "any luck" the officer asked. "afraid not we have had some close calls but no luck, well keep trying" he said. she nodded and started pacing nervously. "hes supposed to be dead" she thought to herself "how could this happen". she was brought out of her thoughts by a loud voice "weve got it!". he said looking at her. "what are you waiting for, get the team out of here".
Lets move out!.
Leonard started shouting at Amanda in the pit looking frantically at the clock "Hurry!, we don't much time left" "Fuck You" Amanda shouted. Amanda started to frantically move the needles all over the place until something caught her eye it was green. she lifted the needle and threw it over to Leonard who then picked it up and quickly inserted the key into the slot and turned the key. 5 seconds to spare and the door opened. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He went over to the pit and offered a hand to the now hysteric Amanda. she accepted it and he helped her get out. Lenoard kneeled down beside her and whispered "im sorry". "I don't blame you, I deserved it" she whispered. Amanda had splashes of blood all over her body due to the needles stuck into her body. Leonard began to pull them out. she winced at the feel of the needles.
Leonard helped her to her feet and turned to leave to get his antidote.
