Hey all

Hey all. Here is my next chapter. There aren't going to be as many updates because I'm busier now.

I figured than it was around five hours later. I counted the times that total fell asleep. IT was something like once an hour. That dog could sleep more hours a day than any one else I knew.

I was going crazy with waiting for something, anything to happen. Hey would make me go crazy with waiting. Maybe that was the point.

At some point, I started to speak. I talked to anyone who would hear. Hoping someone would come in and tell me what was going on. I was wondering what

I heard a hiss as some slightly colored gas came into the room. I cursed mentally.

There was a voice on the loudspeakers. "Please evacuate the building now."

I froze; evacuate the building what was going on? Normally, when a message this ominous was announced in the whole building, it meant something.

"Total! Wake up!" I yelled.

I heard him grunt. "What?"

The gas spread through the room and I felt my head go numb. I cursed again, this time aloud. Then, my vision blurred and I went to sleep.

I opened my eyes in some time later. My Velcro bounds were untied. I quickly sat up. I checked to see if there was a door open.

The door was white and sterile looking, like the rest of the room. There was no handle, but I could push it open. Total had jumped off of the bed he was on. "It's open?" he asked.

"Yep," I nodded. Something about this wasn't right.

The door swung open easily and let us out. The hall was completely empty. It too was sterile and white.

I felt my hair stand up. What the hell was going on? Why had we been knocked out to be released? Why had the building been evacuated before we were unconscious? Had we been meant to heat that announcement? Were we supposed to think we could escape?

I was beyond wary as I walked into the hall. Some sense had me thinking that I was being watched. Knowing that the whole building was wired. Nothing said was safe. Nothing wasn't watched.

I braced myself. I was so nervous. This wasn't normal for me. I usually was completely confidant.

I turned to Total. I motioned at him to run.

We sprinted the length of the hall. Almost to the end, there was a single door. I made the executive decision, I went to the door and threw it open.

Inside the door was a huge room. In the chamber was a long conference table. There was a covered thing on the table.

Total ran over to the table before I could stop him.

I stayed by the edge of the room. I was very tense, something was wrong.

Total used his teeth to take the cover off the table. There was a large, odd shaped box. It looked like the shape of a person lying asleep. Against my will, I went to the table.

Total found some sort of button and pressed it. I gasped as it opened. It was pretty dramatic. The steam, the hiss. It was kinda Star Wars-y. I almost laughed until I saw what was under all of the theatrical bits.

I was frozen. There was a person in that case. My mouth almost hung open. I took several steps to the box. In it was Gazzy

His eyes were closed and he was very still.
