Chapter 3: Survived!
Simon thought hard on what Rob just told him. He should be glad to finally know on what has happened that fateful day, but something still troubled him. There was still one question that bugged him. He looked up at his friend that was suppose to have be dead, but wasn't. He should be happy for his survival, but it bothered him somewhat.
"H.how is it that you survived?" He finally asked nervously.
"Well.!" Rob began to answer slowly.
********
DURING THE BIG ESCAPE!
In hidden part of Seattle a place no one knew, inside the abandon warehouse everybody wore black suits and they were moving a medium size crates inside a huge truck. The boy with blond hair looked suspiciously toward the Founders, then at Mary. She gave him a slight nod for the 'go ahead'. He could tell that there another thought that had her second- guessing her decision, but ignored it.
"NOW!!" Jeff cried when he received a signal from Mary-Anne. Regardless of this suspicious feeling, Jeff decides to trust Mary's choice.
Mark and Rob attacked few of the Founders, while Jeff attacked the Dean and few other Founders while the attack is going on, Mary-Anne makes her escape knowing this was her only chance.
The three boys fought hard, but one by one each of them died in the hands of a Founder, but not before bringing down a Founder or two at least, except Rob.
Rob fought bravely and one a battle with one of the Founders. As the body of the Founder fell the Dean pulled out his gun and fired it at Rob. Two shots hit Rob's chest and he fell out of the window behind him. The Dean stood for a moment and peered out the window to assess the damage. He assumed that all was successful and left Rob for dead in the ally.
Rob could feel the pain rushing through his body he would soon welcome death. Slowly he managed to open his eyes enough to see a shadowy figure reaching down for him before blacking out.

".I think it was three or four months later when I woke up from a coma, from then I had no recollection of who I was or where I came from." Rob said, continuing with his story. "They would call me 'John Duo'. When I became more conscious it appeared to the medical staff that I was hallucinating all the time. I realized that the doctors were in fact the Founders, or Illuminati members. When they entered my room I would see them as they truly are and I would start screaming.
"The next thing I knew, a few months later after I'd mostly recovered from my injuries, I found myself in a sanatorium. Chances are, it had been because I would freak out whenever a 'doctor' came in the room."
"What happened then?" Simon asked, becoming more interested by the minute.
"Oh, I was at least there for a good two years before regaining my senses. I pretty much lived like a zombie before then! They made sure I was feed a lot drugs so that I would never regain my memory, until one day, I was visited by a mysterious 'Doctor' and a counsellor that went by the name of Dr. Schuyler."
"Dr. Schuyler?" Simon said out loud, interrupting a little. "Blond hair.? Blue eyes.? Did she have some kind of strange accent?"
"Yup, and a personality of pure gold."
"Yeah!"
"Let me guess, you met her too?" Rob smirked.
"Yeah, during the depression I went through. It was after when I almost did myself in with an overdose of sleeping pills." Simon sorely admitted. "She helped me break out of what little mind control they still had over me. She was amazing. Without her help I probably would either be dead, or in the drug rehab clinic, or in the sanatorium, as you were."
Simon paused for a bit as he thought on the way she would talk him out of depression and becoming more into creative writing. The more he thought about it the more he realized on how quickly he'd gain control of his mind again. She was more then a miracle worker, more like an angel or something. It was like she knew everything that happened in his life without him having to say a word. A part of him felt that she was not from around here, almost.alien.
He smiled as he thought of Dave during that time. How he was impressed and yet almost suspicious when Dr. Schuyler didn't want to charge much for each session she had with Simon. Dave even tried to ask her on a date once, but she was unable to comply. She announced that she was already married and had three kids of her own. Simon shook his head and brought his attention back to Rob's story.
"But anyway, what happened next?" He asked.
"Well, the 'Doctor' managed to cut me back on the medication the nurses were feeding me. After about five months I was able to think for myself, sort of. Slowly I started to regain some of my memory, and then one day when I was in the rec. room some of the patients were watching a talk show."

"Our next guest has made a big name for himself during the last few years. As being the only surviving kidnapped victim from now known island called 'Founder's Island', to coming out of depression to even survived two near death experience. Now he has come out with his second single from the latest 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' album. Please give a warm welcome to Simon Seville!"

".I wasn't sure why, but I found myself really fascinated with that interview. A few years later Dr. Schuyler gave me a book.can you guess what book that was?" Rob asked with a smirk and a raised an eyebrow to Simon.
"Mine?" Simon slowly answered sheepishly.
"I read that book from cover to cover, word for word. I just couldn't put it down. There was just something about it, and for some reason I knew it had something to do with me. The more I read it and spoke with Schuyler about it, the more I remembered. About two and a half months ago, with Schuyler's help, I made my escape. I quickly moved from country to country, until I ended up here in L.A. Some kind of force drew me here. I had no idea why, until that day when I saw your wife and your son entering a pharmacy." He stopped to give another little smirk. "I swear your son looks so much like you!"
"I know I get that a lot!" Simon grins bashfully.
"I take it that the 'little ones' weren't planned?"
Simon, again, smiles sheepishly as he thought of a way to tell him. "Accidents like that tend to happen when you plan a romantic date, and over do it a little with the wine. Hehe. We, ah, thought we used protection. But two months later I find out that Jeanette got pregnant from that incident!"
"Do you ever regret that ever happened?"
"Surprisingly, no!"
"It's nice to see you keep our friends alive by naming a few of your kids after Tom and Mary-Anne." Rob sat up and smiled at his chipmunk friend.
Simon chuckled and looked up at Rob with pride. "Yea, when we found out that Jeanette was caring three infants and knew what sex they were going to be, we had an argument on what to name them. I won by being able to name our daughter and one of our sons; she of course won the coin toss to get to name the first-born son. Jeanette said she loves the name Vincent so that's how our first born got his name."
"Um, lunch is ready!" Jeanette called from the entrance of the living room she hoped her voice didn't tremble. She had indeed heard every word of Rob's story, she felt sorry for the young human.
Upon hearing her voice the men got up from the couch and joined Jeanette in the kitchen for lunch.
