Jack opens his eyes and wipes away his tears. He had been crying for awhile be he knows that's not going to get him anywhere. "Gotta stay strong..." he mumbles to himself as he picks himself up off the floor. He examines his surroundings and continues down the hallway towards the main ventilation unit. After a few minutes of walking Jack comes to a lone hallway that looks different from all the rest. A large puddle of blood sits near one of the walls, and on the floor is a long trail of blood dragging out into another hallway. Jack slowly follows the trail remaining vigilant with each step. Jack rounds the corner and notices that the blood stretches on further. Jack twists and turns through a series of hallways and finally reaches the end of the trail which leads into a closed door. Jack slowly turns the handle and opens the door quietly. Jack's jaw drops. Inside the room is a large surgical chair with a person on it. Next to the chair is tank of blood which seems to be keeping the person in the chair alive. Jack slowly approaches the chair remaining careful. Jack slowly shines his flashlight on the person and his eyes widen with surprise. The person in the chair is Ethan, his wrist is covered in blood and poorly stitched up barely holding together. Two tubes connect to Ethan's neck supplying blood to him and presumably keeping him alive. Jack tiptoes towards Ethan and puts his hand on his neck to check if he is even alive. Ethan's eyes shoot open and look at Jack in surprise to the sudden movement. Jack can see the fear fade in Ethan's eyes as he realizes that it's Jack. "J-Jack...You came for me..." says Ethan leaning his head back in relief. "I'm here Ethan. Don't worry, I'm gonna get you out." says Jack looking around the room. "I-I honestly thought I was a goner. I even made a promise to Aidan, l-like in the movies" says Ethan laughing through the pain. Jack doesn't respond as he looks for a way to get Ethan out. Jack spots some duct tape on a table in the corner of the room, "Bingo" whispers Jack. Jack walks over to Ethan, "Show me your arm" says Jack unrolling some of the tape. Ethan slowly lifts his arm off of the chair. Jack wraps the tape around the stitches to make sure they don't come apart. "Now your neck..." says Jack realizing this is really gonna hurt Ethan. Jack walks over to Ethan's neck with a piece tape ready. "I'm gonna have to take this tube out" says Jack. "You ready?" asks Jack with the tape expanded, Ethan closes his eyes and nods. Jack grabs the tube and lightly tugs on it seeing if it's attached to anything, the tube slides slightly outwards. Ethan grunts in pain as the tube wiggles in his neck. Jack swiftly but carefully pulls the tube out and puts tape over the wound stopping any bleeding. "Now the other one" says Jack moving over to the other side. Jack repeats the process on the other side staying careful as not to cause anymore damage to Ethan. Jack grabs Ethan's hand and helps him out of the chair slowly. "Can you walk?" asks Jack letting go of Ethan. Ethan nods as they make their way out the door.
"I can't believe we left him there..." says Brendan sitting in Henry's chamber. "What choice did we have?" says Aidan, "Carry him back? What if we ran into an animatronic. He would've been dead weight in the state he was in." says Aidan. "We wouldn't have run into an animatronic. We would've been careful, we could've brought him back." says Brendan standing up. "You don't know that!" shouts Aidan. "I already feel guilty no need to make it worse!" adds Aidan. "Quiet! Both of you!" exclaims Henry entering the room. "We need to stay focused, or you'll have the same fate as Jack, Sam, and Ethan. Do you want that?" says Henry. Both Aidan and Brendan shake their heads no. "Then we need to keep our heads straight." lectures Henry. Aidan exhales and begins to calm down, "What's next?" asks Aidan. "We're gonna blow this place to kingdom come. We're gonna escape through the main ventilation unit. Their is a tube that leads to the surface which will get you boys home." says Henry preparing his things. "And how exactly are you gonna blow this place up?" asks Brendan. "With the push of this button." says Henry pointing at his keyboard. "But we're not gonna push that until we're ready." adds Henry. "Sounds like a solid plan, but how will we get out in time?" asks Brendan. "The power station takes five minutes to power up, that will give us plenty of time to get out of here." explains Henry. Brendan nods in understanding. "Let's get out of here. It's time you boys go home." says Henry putting on his backpack. Brendan and Aidan follow close behind as he exits the room. "Wait here." says Henry as he walks back into the chamber. Henry walks up to his computer and exhales. He looks down at his keyboard and hesitates with his finger hovering over the button. Henry pushes the button setting the endgame in motion. Henry walks out and motions for Brendan and Aidan to follow.
Jack helps Ethan down the hall making sure he gets out. Jack reaches a door covered in dents and scratches. "This is it..." says Jack letting go of Ethan. "We're getting out of here" says Jack as he pulls down on the large handle. Jack pushes on the door,it opens with a loud creak. Inside the room is a large fan, but it seems to be destroyed, just as Coffin said. Jack extends his hand out to Ethan helping him into the room. Before Jack and Ethan can make their way to the fan, a robotic female voice comes over the loud speaker. "Power Startup sequence initiated. Power restart in t-minus five minutes." says the voice. "We need to get out of here." says Jack speeding up his pace. "Wait" says Ethan stopping Jack, "Before we get out of here...Why did you do it? Why did you kill Sam?" asks Ethan looking in Jack's eyes. Jack looks down at his feet, "He went crazy, you saw in the tape. I know the audio was corrupted so you couldn't hear what he was saying, but he was saying he could hear voices. He went nuts and attacked me. I-I had no choice, I wasn't thinking straight so I acted in the moment." says Jack still looking down. Ethan puts his hand on Jack's shoulder, "I don't blame you for what you did. It was crazy and unnecessary but I don't blame you. I've forgiven you for that. So let's get out of here." says Ethan with a smile on his face.
Author Notes: Hey guys! This one's a lot shorter, but I wanted to set up the end game. Before you go I wanna apologize. I've been writing this book on my phone as I don't have a computer. It's hard writing with the software I have so I do my best with what I have. This means my stories can be hard to read and I am sincerely sorry for that. I've received messages from people about this issue and I've attempted to go back and fix the earlier chapters but it screws with the formatting and makes it even harder to read. When I finish this story and make the inevitable sequel I promise I'll do my best to make it as smooth and easy to read as possible. Anyway that's all from me. Best Wishes (And have a wholesome thanksgiving!). -Ethan
