Chapter 6

Connie

I walked out of the room with Petersons close eye on my back as I made my way to my friends who immediately began asking questions.

"What did she want?" yelled Lee

"Did you get the schedule?" asked Eli

"Learn anything about the guards?" Questioned Maya, I paused to analyze all of their questions and then answered.

I turned to Lee and said "To try and get me to leave the facility," turned to Eli and continued, "Yes," Then faced Maya and finished "No, I haven't looked at the schedule yet." Lee got a happy and said "Well show us the chart." I pulled the Rubix cube out of my suit and handed it to Lee and said "Hold this." Then continued going through my pocket and pulled out a ball of paper. I opened the paper to reveal a color coated chart that showed all the times people were on duty and when they changed shifts. I always knew that Peterson was a control freak who else makes a chart this specific and precise.

"It looks like the only time a lot of guards are switching is three in the morning." Said Maya continuing to analyze the chart.

"Uh, if the only good time is a three in the morning then we have a 'problema muy grande'." Said Drew

We all turned in confusion while Lee asked, "What the hell does that mean?"

Drew replied "Its Spanish for…Just forget it."

We turned back to the chart, "So anyway, how the hell are we gonna get out of our dorms at three a.m. to escape through the fence that a beast is currently guarding?" asked Lee, while continuing to fidget with the Rubix cube.

Eli turned to me and asked "Is there anyway to get back in her office and grab a key or something?" I reached into my pocket to reveal something that I thought would interest him. "You mean something like this." It had Doc Petersons picture on it and said her name and 'Director of Advanced Mutation Sciences ' along with a bar code, that I could assume was a key.

"When'd you get that!" Maya's eyes began to widen with excitement and shock.

"Stole it just a few minutes ago along with the cube and chart." I smiled

Eli Laughed and said "So were finally getting out of here, when should we leave?"

"Well I haven't seen the beast or faced there new test yet and I don't plan to, so lets leave ASAP." Said Lee with the 'I'm completely serious I don't want to die' look on his face.

I laughed, and asked "Well is tonight soon enough for everyone?"

They all spoke in unison "YES!"

That was that, we were leaving, me and my family are finally getting out of this hell! Were going to escape, figure out where the hell we are, and then go to the farthest place possible from here. But in the back of my mind I cant help but think that I cant leave without knowing what we were created for. I guess I'll never know, but I think I know someone who does.

Doctor Peterson

I was woken up at three in the morning by an alarm, red flashing lights, and a phone ringing off the wall on my night stand. I grabbed the phone to the directors assistant voice screaming "Get your fucking ass down here in five minutes or your fired!" then she hung up. I scrambled to get my clothes on, just threw my hair up in a pony tail and didn't even try to put make-up on. I rushed to the elevator but couldn't find my key card to open the door. Fuck, I must of left it in my room. I thought now I have three minutes to run down four flights of stairs, and save my job and my ass, great.

I made it to the directors office just in time for him to yell "What did you do!"

I stuttered "I..I..I don't know what's going on?" He turned his chair to face me, though I couldn't see his face in the pitch black room, and said "Five experiments are in the process of escaping and they used your key card to get out of their dorms, care to explain?" I was astonished, "Connie, she must of stole it when I invited her into my office ,to give her the job offer you told me about." He turned back around, faced his computer, and turned the flat screen to video feed of a hallway. It was the kids, I recognized all of them they were Connie's friends. The first four ran by but the older boy, Drew, I think is his name. Stopped, turned faced the camera, gave us the finger and a smile, then continued to run with the others. The director pressed the intercom and said "Catch them, with what ever force necessary, but try not to kill them." I knew what that meant. I spoke in a loud quick voice saying "No, Stop." He turned back, now I could see his face, and it wasn't very happy. "Then what do you recommend we do Peterson? I ask that you answer with caution because it could cost you your job." I spoke slowly, "I recommend that we let them escape."

"What will that do?" He was getting tired of my shit, I thought to myself hurry up Sam'.

"Well Connie has a tracking device in her doesn't she?"

"Yes" He spoke in a tone that secretly told me to finish quickly

"We can follow them, and you can see how they respond to the real world, maybe one of them will discover a new power?"

"You mean use this like a test." said the assistant, confused at what I was saying.

"Exactly, it may accomplish what the trial did not." He didn't speak for a few seconds and then said. "Go back to your office, since it was your idea, I'll let you handle this new quote on quote test." I said "Yes, Sir." and hurried down the hallway back to my office. Boy I had just saved both our asses, Connie's and my own. I made my way into my office and guess who was waiting for me, again sitting in my chair,…Connie.

She spoke calmly and slow, with a devious smile on her face. "Hay Samantha, I've got a question, and I think you can answer it for me."
