Chapter 6: Are you still there?

"Turrets.." Chell whispers. The room that lay in front of them was a long corridor. There was a platform at the end of it that moved up into the higher layer, but there were Turrets everywhere. On both levels of the room were about 10 Turrets on each side.

"Well, this is a problem. I don't suppose your hacking skills will work well on these guys right?" Wheatly asked GLaDOS.

"No. They are sentient, well sort off. They are programmed to attack but everything they say is on their own will. I can't hack them" GLaDOS sighs

"Then how do we get through without getting shot at?" Chell asked

"OH! Pick me! I have an idea!" Wheatly yells

"We need an idea that will actually WORK, moron" GLaDOS says with sarcasm in her voice "Good, I managed to fit my sarcasm software in here after all"

"Let Wheatly say his idea GLaDOS" Chell says as she looks at the core "What should we do Wheatly?"

"Simple, put a portal under them one at a time and drop them on each other. It will take a while but we would survive" Wheatly says, feeling smart

"Look, moron. In case you haven't noticed there are NO portal surfaces here" GLaDOS points out. The trio look at the room again, seeing nowhere to portal.

"Well, there goes my plan...well I don't see you coming up with any idea's miss..um...watch. I gotta work on that nickname..." Wheatly says

"Oh, I have an idea" GLaDOS says as she tells Chell the idea. She looks hesitant but agrees and they look at Wheatly

"What?" Wheatly asked. He was then thrown to the center of the hallway "AHHHHH! ow!" All the turrets at the bottom look at him. "Um...hello" Wheatly says, trying to speak with them "So...long time no see am I right? George! buddy, weren't we in the same construction room?" Wheatly says to one of the turrets-apparently named George-. All of them just stare at him as Chell and GLaDOS sneak past. Chell grabs Wheatly and the trio run to the lift, dodging bullets. "That was...something. I would very much appreciate it...if you never do that again." They reach the next level and the 2 look at Wheatly again "Your doing it again aren't you?" He was, yet again, thrown into the center of the hallway. Chell and GLaDOS repeated the same thing and made it to the door. "You two just love giving me heart attacks, don't you?" A scared Wheatly says

"You don't have a heart" GLaDOS points out

"Touche'..."

"I'm sorry Wheatly, but it was the only way. I promise I will give you a heads up when we do that again" Chell smiles

"Oh well thanks partner-wait did you say "WHEN" you do that again!?" Wheatly was interrupted by the dark voice

"Well Well, you made it past the turrets. Nice work. If it weren't for the fact you were about to die, I would feel worried that you could beat me. HAHA!" The voice hangs up and the trio enter the elevator again, not knowing what dangers await them next

"No, seriously. Did you say "WHEN" you do that again?"

"There getting close...if i don't make these things harder..." The voice thinks to itself as it watches the heroes through the cameras.

"You'll be dead soon...Caroline...you'll be dead"
