Still not in Disk Two territory.
Once again, Leshawna takes the spotlight, and I'll be nice this time; I won't repeat 90 percent of what was shown in the last chapter.

"Oh, you found the key? Great! Maybe you're not so bad after all, turkey."
I hear Noah growl, and I shake my head. Boy needs to lighten up. "I'm-a kiddin' ya. Now come on. Let's get out of here."
"Do I have to?"
I roll my eyes. Noah and his books…
Guess I have no choice but to drag his scrawny little… whatever-race-he-is ass out of the room.
(The door opens slowly, creaking softly.)
We head to the other side of the hall, where Noah unlocks the door. The whole time I'm wondering to myself… this is way too easy.
(The door opens and shuts quickly.)
I was right.
As Noah has his mental breakdown in front of me, I consider our options. Go straight? Or go right? Should we split up? Should we stay together?
Noah answers for me, as he even says we should split up. I offer to go down the side hallway.

UNDEFINED SIDE HALLWAY
-X-
There's an elevator here. And from the looks of things, there are more floors in this facility than I would've imagined otherwise.
I take a chance and enter the elevator.
(The elevator doors slide open.)
There's a note near the buttons. It says:
"It is always calm before the storm."
The fact that "before" is emphasized startles me. Why is that so important that it has to be bolded?
I look at the buttons. 1F, B1, B2, B3...
…B4...
…
Y'all don't think…
Reluctantly, I push the button, and the elevator moves. It doesn't take long though, as I was in the third basement to begin with.
(The elevator doors slide open.)
Another hallway. Great.
Well, might as well check it out.
It snakes around, first to the left, then to the right…
…Whoa…
The hallway leads me to a large room with monitors lining the walls. Each screen seems to be linked to the cameras all around the facility.
I look at some of the screens more closely. Some of them have messages on them to replay certain video feeds…
…meaning that someone else was here before…
Not seeing anywhere else to go in this floor, I decide to watch some of the feeds.
I probably shouldn't have…
FEED ONE - KITCHEN, THIRD BASEMENT
The door opens. Courtney walks in. "Geez, Chris, could you come up with lamer puzzles?" She starts looking in the refrigerator, the cabinets, and ultimately comes across the stove. She opens in, and cries happily. "The briefcase! I won! I won the million dollars! Hahahahahaha! In your face, Chris! In your… What the hell?"
"Uuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…"
"No… NO! GET AWAY!! GET AWAY!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
FEED TWO - TEAM THREE HALLWAY, SECOND BASEMENT
"Well, trust me, Cody… You're more than just that. You're a good friend."
"I guess I'm lucky too, then, huh?"
"No, I'm the lucky one, Cod--"
Chk-chk.
"T…T…Trent?!"
"Duncan… Duncan was right. You… asshole… Cody… Duncan… said you'd steal her… from me."
"Trent, please! It's not like that! Cody and I are just frie--"
"Stay out of this, Gwen."
"Please, buddy! I swear I wasn't--"
"Bullshit, asshole. Now, I'm going to give you to the count of nine, and you better get the fuck out of here before I fucking pull this trigger and send your incubus ass straight to hell. One… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight…"
"CODY, RUN!!"
"I SAID STAY OUT OF… Oh, God! Gwen! …Oh, G-God… wh-what have I done? Gwen… I'm so sor--"
BANG
…
"…W…Wha…"
…
"…Gwen, I…"
…
"Gwen! GWEN!"
FEED THREE - LOCKER ROOM, FIRST BASEMENT
Beth and Lindsay scream as they have no choice but to watch the three zombies rip Owen and Tyler apart limb from limb. Tyler is already dead, but Owen is still screaming himself. Blood splatter over the two girls, who scream louder… before the zombies advance on them.
FEED FOUR - LABORATORY, FIRST BASEMENT
All this footage shows is Harold's lifeless body sprawled out on the floor of the bright room.
FEED FIVE - TEAM THREE'S SECOND ROOM, FIRST FLOOR
"Mmm… Shouldn't we be worried about the million… mmm… dollars, Geoff?"
"Aw, you're so much better than a million bucks, babe."
"Mmm… that's so sweet… I think…"
"Uuuuuuuuuooooooooooooooooo"
"…Whoa. Bridge, are you okay?"
"Wait, that wasn't you?"
"Uuuuuuuuuooooooooooooooooo"
"OH MY GOD!!"
"BRIDGE! GET BEHIND ME--YAAAAAAAAGH!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"GEOFF!!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooo"
"NO, WAIT!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
…
I vomit. Hard. Even worse than when I ate those cockroaches.
I can't believe… all this… is happening.
Harold… Bridgette… Gwen… and the others…
Why did this have to happen?
…And… And who watched this in the first place?
Who was here?
Suddenly, an arm wraps around me, and I scream just before a rag finds its way to my mouth.
Chloroform, no doubt. I'm already getting woozy…
"You've seen too much…"
Ugh…
