Chapter 3:
We arrived at the back area of the factory and we could see where the stairs were, and we could also see a large shutter, we assumed it was a lift, but didn't know obviously. That happened to be the only part we hadn't checked as we could see the entire area because there was nothing obstructing our view. So we proceeded up the stairwell, which were fairly sturdy and didn't shake at all, didn't look rusty either. When we got to the top of the stairwell it was a fairly open balcony with, at first glance, about four or five offices. "I think it would be best now if we stay together, there're not very many places to look so we don't need to split up." I announced. "Probably a good idea." Benj agreed. "Yeah, though it might be safer if Mathew went downstairs." Ben said with a grin on his face. "Shut up before I slap you." Mathew began to get agitated. "Oh you're going to slap me, are you? Ben replied. "To hell with this, I'm going over there." As he points towards an office in the distance. "Don't bother; it'd be better if we all stay together." I said. "Just let him go, it'll be better for all of us...maybe the floor we're on won't collapse then." Ben expressed, showing his hate for Mathew. Mathew walked off while we turned around and looked in the four offices there, the first office was dark and misty...The darkness was terrifying, I felt defenceless and disorientated. I did wonder what Mathew had done, but wasn't really bothered unless he had found something. It was hard to think in the darkness, I was only just able to see the book shelf and table in the room, all we found were a few reading books but nothing about the factory, the books included Discworld novels and Red Dwarf novels, obviously this person liked comedy, but I did wonder what they were doing in a factory, it obviously didn't need much management, either that or this person was just lazy. The second office was much lighter thankfully; it was quite easy to see things in the second room, again there was a table and a book shelf but the book shelf didn't have any novels on it, it did have a few books on it though, nothing useful to tell us what the factory was sadly. We walked into the third room and heard a sliding sound followed by what sounding like something clamping shut, we ignored it and carried on looking in the office. Another book shelf and table, this time filled with books. But again as we looked through the books we soon discovered that there was nothing of use to us, nothing towards finding a way out and nothing towards finding what this factory was built for.
We walked out of the office and saw Mathew running (or you could call it jogging since he can't run to save his life) towards us and suddenly he pulled out two knives and threw them towards us. We all tried to move out of the way but one got Ben in the arm and the other hit the wall behind us, by the time we turned around to find out why he'd done it, he was gone, we didn't understand how since it had taking him longer to get to us than it had for us to turn around away from the knives and back towards where he had been. We heard another sound like something sliding but after was more of a clicking sound than a clamping sound. Mathew was then running towards us again but this time Benj and Joseph had knives in their hands and before anyone had the chance to say anything Joseph was charging towards Mathew with the knife firmly gripped by his right hand. Joseph had repeatedly stabbed Mathew with the knife, first in the arms then in the legs and gradually making sure he stabbed every limb that there was on offer. Then followed Benj but quite different to what Joseph had been doing he threw the knife through the air and hit Mathew in the forehead instantly killing him. Although there was a dead body in front of all of us, we didn't seem in any way bothered and continued on to the fourth office, which had Mathew been alive we probably wouldn't have had to search the fifth office, but we did; I'll get to that later though. In the fourth office the room layout was once again the same, one table and one bookshelf, no books were on the bookshelf and there was one very old looking book on the table, but it was so old that when Joseph picked it up it crumbled into pieces, he did pick it up quite quickly but I don't think it would have made any difference if he picked it up as slowly and gently as he could. We walked across the balcony, past the body of Mathew motionless other than the blood that was slowly drifting away from him. When we got to the fifth office we noticed that there was a chair lying on the floor next to the door, we wondered if Mathew had done it but just moved it aside and walked in, this room was different from the others; it had an entire wall as a bookcase, and two tables opposite each other, one missing a chair, presumably the one that was by the door, and the other, the chair was on the floor. The bookcase was filled with books in this office which was very different from the others; I thought that there would probably be something that would prove useful to finding out what this factories history was. The bookcase happened to be split into four sections so we each took a section and looked through every book pulling it out flicking through the pages, glancing to see if there was anything that seemed to be useful to uncovering anything. It must have taken us about 20 minutes before we finished searching every book but we only found one book that might help, it was a fairly big black covered book, which was in very good quality, not one page was torn, not one page had any marks or creases on them other than the text obviously. It seemed very odd that the book was seemingly perfect quality in a place like this surrounded by hundreds of books, all in bad quality, falling to pieces, upon reading it through we discovered that there was apparently an underground complex below the factory, it didn't say how to get to it though, only that a lift went down.
