Chapter 3. THE IDEA
I grabbed Clarissa by the arm and dragged her towards the fire exit.
"This is our escape." I state rather proudly. Though Clarissa didn't have a clue what I was on about. "When everyone's down in he bunker, we will escape through here!"
"E! We can't! Do you remember last time you tried to escape. They caught you!"
"Yeah, But this time it will be different. There will be no one around to catch us" A grin grew wildly across my face. But Clarissa's face unsure. "Don't worry, everything will be fine" I don't really think my reassuring words reassured her.
"If we get caught E I will get fire. You will get a good spanking and we will never see each other again. I'm not sure I want to take that risk-"
"What are you two doing here?" A rather grumpy doctor Ainslie says, appearing from no where.
"Well... ummm... I was just escorting Project E45 here to the bunker." Clarissa replied.
"You better be quick then because we are about to set the sprinklers off to put out the fire." Doctor Ainslie said very firmly. "This place will be flooded pretty soon." Clarissa and I exchanged glances. Flooded? How were we suppose to get out now? I guess I could easily get out but I don't think Clarissa can swim. Never mind hold her breath for over 4 minutes. Clarissa grabbed my shoulders and shoved me in the direction of the bunker. Finally we were out of doctor Ainslie's site and were able to talk freely.
"I guess the plan wont work after all E" Clarissa's grin grew wildly as if she was somehow pleased. How can she be pleased? This was our chance to get out of here!
"Don't you want to get out of here?" Would she really back out on me now?
"Of course I do E. But this is my job." Clarissa says sadly. "And what if we did get out of here. The whole government would be searching for us. We would have to change our identity!" Okay so i didn't think that one threw.
"We will figure that out when we come to it. Right now lets find a way to get out of here." I pause for a moment then carry on my sentence. "Please Clarissa, This might be my only chance of living a normal life, like the kids on tv!" I give her my puppy eyes. Of course she couldn't resist them.
"Alright! Okay. But we will have to be subtle planning this out-" Clarissa was cut off by the sound of the alarm going off.
"Now's our chance Clarissa! Just wait until everyone has gone" I was so sure this was going to work. But Clarissa's face said otherwise.
"There's only one minor problem E" Clarissa echoed sternly.
"And what's that?"
"The Flood! How am I supposed to get past that!" Clarissa pointed out. I didn't think of this.
"How long can you hold your breathe for?" Clarissa didn't seem sure.
"I guess 2 minutes. I did some training back at the Caribbean-"
"That should be long enough!" I ran of in the other direction.
All Clarissa could get out of that was "wha-"
