JOEL: CHAPTER 11: Escape
They had nearly broken Joel. But Joel didn't break. He was bruised all over his face. Still tied up against the chair.
Then Alex walked in, with a knife in his hand."You gonna tell us yet?" Alex asked.
"Never!" Joel yelled.
Alex was aiming for his knee. "Suit yourself" Alex said and threw his knife into Joel's knee.
"Ahhhh! You… Son of a bitch!" Alex was about go the other until Joel finally broke. "Jackson," Joel said weakly.
"What?" Alex asked.
"She is in Jackson." Joel said.
A Firefly walked in. Alex dropped his knife near Joel and made his way towards the Firefly. "We got what we need, prepare the 10th Legion." Alex ordered. Both of the Fireflies left, and Joel had an idea.
Joel notice the knife on the floor. He tried moving closer, but he had to take it little by little so he won't injury his knee even more. He was near the knife, he moved his chair and fell on its side. He was able to get the knife. He grabbed it with his hand and freed his arms from the chair, and then his legs. He got up and his knee started to ache. He opened the door and limbed out.
There was no Fireflies in that hallway. He opened a door to the right. He realized it was the storage room. He found his backpack and grabbed a spare heath kit in the room. He wrapped it around his knee to stop bleeding and hopefully heal the wound. He didn't have any weapons in his pack.
He continued his way out of the hall. He found a door, he opened it and there was Firefly standing guard. He grabbed him and stabbed his knife into his neck. Joel grabbed the now dead Firefly's M4. Not a lot of ammo better use it as a last resort. He told himself.
After killing the Firefly he realized he was at the hospital. He kept walking in the hospital in the day light. He made his way down a bridge and notice a whole group of Fireflies outside. There thousands, I have to sneak out quietly.
He later found the underground parking lot, filled with armored vehicles. Some were Humvees with turrets on the top, with Firefly logos all over them. Oh god, what have I done, Jackson's militia doesn't stand a chance. He took one of the Humvees, threw the M4 on the seat to the right. He was about to for Jackson, but he notice a piece of paper inside the Humvee, the piece of paper that said…
