Syl had immediately taken off away from Zack and Zane in hopes of circling the building and getting some sort of transportation. With Lydecker and all of his soldiers searching the edge of the forest she knew she had a good chance of securing a Hummer. She found herself coming around the side of the building when a figure jumped up from a niche in the wall. She immediately started to fight back when a voice caused her to stop, "Syl it's me, Krit."
She breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed Krit's arm as they both started to run towards three Hummers parked to the left of the entrance to the barracks. They were almost ten feet from them when Krit stopped dead in his tracks. Syl turned around just before getting into the Hummer and was about to shout at him when she looked off in the direction that Krit was looking in and saw a figure dragging a body towards them.
They both quickly hid behind the row of Hummers as they watched Seth drag an unconscious Zane towards them. He stopped and looked from Zane to the back of the Hummer but knew he didn't stand a chance so he turned away and started to jog towards the barracks entrance. Krit looked at Syl and held up three fingers and quickly counted down. At the same time they both leapt from behind the Hummer but found that Seth had disappeared.
A cry of alarm arose from Syl and Krit quickly turned to her and found Seth standing behind her with a skinning knife at her throat. Krit instantly tensed up to hurl himself at him when he pulled the blade away and pushed Syl towards Krit with a smile on his face and a grim look in his eyes, "Never try and sneak up on me."
Krit wasn't sure if there was going to be a fight but tried to calmly speak, "We don't want any trouble. We just want to get out of here."
Seth nodded knowingly and sheathed the knife at his side, "I know. I'm not going to stop you. It was never our plan to harm you. Please take your friend over there and get out of here now."
Syl looked over at Zane who was still unconscious, "What happened to him?"
The smile on Seth's face faded to his usual stoic look as he replied, "He tried to stop Jared and he was forced to defend himself. Try not to move him because his spinal cord at his lower back was severed. I know Jared and he made sure it was a clean break. In a few weeks he should be able to walk around again with the help of a cast."
Syl was about to go help Zane when Krit stepped closer to Seth, "He broke his back and you call that self defense?"
A menacing look flashed in Seth's dull gray eyes warning Krit to back off as he snarled a reply, "Jared was just following orders. We wanted Zack." He looked over his shoulder to see Jared running down the steps into the barracks through the main doors and turned back to Krit but found that he had already started running towards the barracks entrance.
Seth grabbed Syl as she ran off to join him and he nearly yelled in her ear, "Help your friend. Do not interfere or you won't live to regret it. I'll go stop Krit." He quickly ran off leaving Syl who blindly listened to Seth and pulled the back to the Hummer open and extending it to the ground so she could pull Zane inside.
Jared was already moving away from the barracks and down the stairs towards the cell room and surveillance control desk when Krit burst in through the doors and started running after him. Jared was quickly rushing down the stairs and didn't even realize that Krit was following him. He noticed that Wren was sitting at the office chair and stood up when she saw Jared and saw blood on his face and clothes. She had stayed in the control room the entire time as she didn't even know what had happened.
"Zack and the others escaped and Lydecker is out there combing the forest too but in the wrong area. See if you can spot anything from the tower," Jared quickly stated as he sat in the other chair and started cycling through the security cameras. Wren knew the urgency of the situation and quickly grabbed a pair of binoculars and ran up the stairs. As she reached the top of the stairs she did an immediate turn around and started ascending the ladder right next to the staircase that led up into the tower.
Krit ran right past Wren and nearly tumbled down the steps. Jared was still looking at the monitors when he heard the footsteps coming down the stairs. "Wren there isn't any time," Jared started as he turned around but was quickly knocked off the back of the chair from a hard shove from Krit.
"Try and defend yourself from me," Krit nearly shouted as he kicked the chair at Jared who was quickly getting up. Jared looked at him with a confused look on his face but knew that Krit wasn't going to stand around and talk about what was going on. Jared was taken off guard and Krit used it to his advantaged as the two quickly began exchanging punches and kicks. Krit kept the advantage and pressed Jared back.
Neither of them were getting any solid connecting hits until Krit had backed up Jared to the staircase leading down to the morgue. With a heavy kick he sent Jared tumbling down the stairs and he slammed the door after him. Krit immediately sat at the desk to the computer and started typing away looking for the controls to the fuel station adjacent to the barracks and above their heads from where they were now underground.
He scanned through files as fast as he could and found the pressure switch for the natural gas tanks. Using the same hacking method Logan had used to gain maps to the facility he quickly was inside base security and released the pressure switches for the propane tanks. Krit stepped near the door and yelled as loud as he could, "I hope your comfortable in there because you won't ever be leaving."
Turning around, Krit quickly ascended the stairs to the barracks and grabbed a pistol from one of the tables. He ran quickly out the double doors and ran around the side of the building towards the underground tanks of gasoline. Seth watched him go from his hiding place and quickly rushed down the stairs into the cell room. He looked around but didn't find anything. He heard the door from above the stairs leading to the outside back entrance slam open and Seth quickly opened the door leading down to the morgue and stepped inside. He shut the door after him and pressed his ear against it hoping to hear who it was that was coming and use the advantage of surprise.
