Chapter 29: Search For An Exit and A Cure
Jake went back to the secretary's office to find that the door to it was destroyed. "Great! Now we have to find another way out," he said angrily. He decided to go find Laoshi and Haley so that they could find a way out. He went to a break room on floor B3 to find it empty. He busted open the soda machine there and got a quick drink. He then went to B4 to find a door cracked open. He went in to see Laoshi holding a file. "There is an elevator on this floor. It is on the opposite side. According to this, it leads to an underground train," Laoshi said to Haley, then looked up to see Jake.
"Jake, I didn't see you there. Are you ok?" he asked. "I have been better," he said to Laoshi and explained about what happened to Rose. "I am sorry for your lose young one, but we must get out of here," Laoshi said. "The door out of here is destroyed but if what you just said was true, we can take a train out of here," Jake said. "Well, let's not stand here talking, let's leave!" Haley said and they set out for the elevator.
(With Dave...)
Dave entered two doors on B3. He found nothing in this room but boxes. He turned to leave when he heard the locks click. "Hey, what's going on?" he asked out loud. "Intruder alert. Doors have been sealed until unlocked by a key card," a voice over the intercom said. Dave knew it was just an automatic message so he didn't say anything back. He heard some noises behind the boxes. He turned to see the Dark Dragon come out.
"What are you doing here?" Dave asked him angrily. "Why, this is my little lab if you can call it that. I make that poison that I put in you and the American Dragon here. I also hide out here whenever anyone is looking for me," the Dark Dragon said. "But you also make an antidote as well. Where is the cure?" Dave asked. "I ran out of antidotes that are already made. But you can find the four liquids that must be mixed together to make it, here in the lab. There is one on each floor. Not that it will help much as you are trapped here," the Dark Dragon said. "Not for long. I want you to let me out. My friend is poisoned, I think," Dave said. "But why leave? Why not stay here and train with me? I am the only one who knows about your family anyways. Your so-called father and grandfather, that was just me with a shape shifting spell. You see, you have a brother," the Dark Dragon then stopped. "Opps, almost let it slip," he said. "Who is my brother!" Dave yelled. "Too late for that now! Die!" the Dark Dragon yelled. Dave then realized he had Chang's card. He used it and ran out, slamming the doors shut behind him. 'I got to hurry and make the antidote,' he thought and ran off to save Rose's life.
