Test sits watching Chris as he sits slumped in an armchair his eyes barely open and his arms wrapped around his legs hugging them close to his body. Test sighs and climbs to his feet patting Chris on the shoulder and walking over to where Hunter sits in the corner watching him too.
"What's wrong with him, I thought you made him better" Hunter whispers glancing at Edge not wanting him to hear them, Test sits down next to him on the table.
"I tried, I got rid of the worst of it and at least he's not going to die now but he's still really sick. I don't know what to do with him. He hasn't done anything for days. He hasn't eaten anything, he hasn't slept, he hasn't drunk anything he's just sat in silence. I don't know what's wrong with him now, I don't know what to do Hunter" Test whispers back running his hands through his hair, he'd been trying to get Chris to eat something all day but he wouldn't move or speak. He just sat there staring at the floor huddled in the chair.
"Have you spoken to Edge about this at all?" Hunter asks, Test shakes his head no "Ok good, don't mention Chris to Edge I'm trying to work something out. If Edge thinks Chris is going to be a bother and something to worry about he'll get angry with him and end up killing him or something, just leave it to me alright" Hunter says standing up and walking over to Chris, he grabs his arm and pulls him to his feet.
"What are you going to do?" Test says getting up and following Hunter into the other room with Chris.
"I don't know but we've got to sort him out, we cant get him out of here like this" Hunter says sitting Chris down on his bed and fetching him some water "We get him to eat and drink so he doesn't collapse on us and then we get him out of here and as far away from Edge as we can"
"And get ourselves killed in the process?!" Test whimpers, "I really don't wanna get killed for this, that's exactly what will happen if Edge finds out we're trying to take him away you know"
"Look we don't have a choice, we owe him this. He has changed both of us right; you can't say that a while ago we were acting all..Nice now can you, we're supposed to be evil and kidnap people and think it's great, not turn around and help them escape! He's affected us somehow cos he's too stupid to give up, this place is taking him over and if we don't help him he's going to change and will become what we're supposed to be. He'll be another of Edge's little bad guys" Hunter says.
"I know what you mean but we can't do this, it's impossible!" Test says turning quickly when they hear the door open and Edge walks in.
""How is he? He doesn't look so good" Edge mumbles walking over to them, he pulls Chris's eyelids open and looks him in the eye "Is everything ok?"
"Yeah fine, he's doing just fine. He's tired though and we're just getting him something to eat and drink before he goes to sleep aren't we Test" Hunter says looking at Test giving him a look telling him to just go along with it so Edge doesn't get suspicious.
"Yeah that's right, he's doing really well actually be right as acid rain in a couple of days" Test gives Edge a false smile hoping that he believes them and wouldn't ask anymore questions, the last thing they needed was Edge sticking around for too much longer and Chris keeling over or something. Edge nods his head and walks out. "Ok, we'll get him out of here tomorrow then" Test says going to fetch him some food and drink.

"Hunter get in here now!" Test whispers through the slightly open door, Hunter turns his head and sees him before quickly getting up and going over to him "We have a slight problem with the whole getting Chris out of here thing today" Test says trying to hide his worried tone in his voice.
"What do you mean..he's not..Dead is he?" Hunter stutters pushing his way through the door, he looks at the bed and feels his heart miss a beat "Oh no, this cant be happening. He cant be.."
