"Shion!" Lilly screams. "How dare you show up late on a testing day! I could have you fired right now if I wanted too, and trust me you're lucky I'm not going to."

"I'm sorry Dr. Lilly." He says bowing his head.

"Just get the hell in there." She says shoving a clip board into his hands.

Shion hurries down the hall to testing room number three.

On the wall is a seven year old girl with red eyes and almost white hair. Her wrists are clasped in chains and she is dangling from the ceiling by them.

Guards line the walls.

Large warm tears roll down her pale and filthy cheeks and cloud her eyes.

"Good morning subject two." Kaito says with a smile forming in the corner of his mouth.

Meiko Sakine stands behind him, cattle prod in hand.

"Now?"

"Not yet Sakine. I have to take vitals first." He begins to measure all kinds of things, blood pressure, heart beats per minute, temperature, he even takes a blood sample and hair sample.

"Now."

Meiko rushes forward, smiling ear to ear. She gabs the large and long metal cattle prod into the girls rib cage and switches it on.

IA convulses and twitches violently with loud screams muffled by the sound of electricity dancing off of metal. Her eyes roll back into her head, and then she drops limply into her chains. Meiko steps back. Kaito starts a timer.

Five seconds, ten seconds, twenty, thirty, a minute. At exactly a minute five seconds the girl moves her head and raises it staring at them.

Kaito moves in and tests the same vitals again.

"Go."

Meiko races forward and turns on the torture device. And the little girl screams in agony.

"I can't take it anymore!" Len yells punching the wall.

"Len just calm down okay?" Miku says softly.

"No! I can't imagine what they're doing to a girl that young. It makes me sick!"

"We can't do anything about it right now."

"It's just tearing me to pieces… I can't stay here anymore."

"Great. Now are we finally going to try and get the hell out of here?" Rin groans.

Len grunts in response.

"What do you mean get out?" Miku asks staring at Rin with an expression of confusion.

Rin stares at her blankly.

"Did you not hear me?" Rin asks.

"No I heard. You said escape but…" Miku nervously plays with her fingers.

"You've never been outside!" Rin screams shocked.

"…well not in a while."

"How long?"

"… ten… years."

"WHAT!" Rin yells.

Miku nods meekly, feeling as if she's done something wrong because Rin is yelling at her.

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen…? I think."

"Me and Len are fourteen." Rin says, genuinely shocked that a girl two years older than her has barely any memories or experiences outside of this prison.

Len stands up in his cell and wanders to the window. He checks the sealant on it, checks the glass, and the strength of the bars. He sighs in defeat.

"The windows aren't going to be an area we can use!" Len calls.

The twins rack their brains on either side of the wall, trying to come up with a viable escape plan. One where the minimum amount of damage is dealt to any of them.

Suddenly the shy teal girl pipes up. "What about when they go to bring IA back Len? Rush them and knock them down or something and take the gun"

"You make it sound easy."

"No really."

"Miku I'll get shot like seventy times. I won't make it out the door."

"Do you have a table?" She says.

"Yeah a small one why?"

"Use it like armor!" Rin cries. "That's genius! Except for the fact that bullets go through wood."

"Not like armor, but throw it at them. They can't shoot if there is a table in their face." Miku says proud of her idea.

"I guess but… What about getting you guys out? Won't I need keys?"

"Kaito carries them with him probably, you'll just have to take them." Rin says.

"But what's the chance that he has the keys to your cell too?"

"Well he needs keys to open your cell, the logical thing would be to keep all of the keys together." Rin points out.

"But still what about-"

Footsteps and gunshots down the hall mean that IA is coming back.

"Len this may be our only chance, just try. Please." Rin pleads with him.

Len rushes to grab the small coffee table.

"Let's hope this works."

~ ~ ~X~ ~ ~X~ ~ ~

IA is dragged by her arms down the hall way, leaving a long streak of crimson blood on the white tile floor.

Kaito flips through her clip board one more time before he takes out his key ring. He looks for the one saying CELL 3.

"Hurry it up Shion." Meiko says behind him, taking out her gun.

"I know."

He places the small silver key and turns it in the lock. The door is pushed open.

Len isn't visible.

"Where the hell is he?" Meiko asks.

Suddenly out of nowhere the blonde boy slides into view just in front of the door, and before either can react he hurls the coffee table at them. Meiko and Kaito slam into the ground and Len charges out, jumping on top of them and picking up the gun.

The assistants are wildly scrambling to fire at him, but most of them need to reload from shooting IA and almost all of them are preoccupied with keeping her subdued.

Len began shooting at their legs and arms, but unfortunately with his horrible aim he managed to mortally wound almost four.

Frantically he pushes the table off of Kaito and grabs the keys out of his hand. He bolts to the cell door right next to his and fumbles with the immensely large door. Just as he flings it open, Meiko crashes right into him, pinning him to the ground while simultaneously wailing on him with a hail storm of punches.

She grabs a knife out of her pocket.

Rin kicks her right in the jaw, sending her flying off her brother.

Rin jumps on top of the woman, and begins to brutally fight her.

Miku stands inside her cell and watches in horror.

Len staggers to his feet and darts into Miku's cell, grabbing her wrist and tugging her out of it. But the door is slammed in his face, by Shion.

"RIN! THE DOOR RIN OPEN IT!"

A gun shot echoes throughout the hallway. Followed by moments of silence.

The two wait, not breathing or moving, but hoping. Hoping their only chance for freedom isn't gone. They hope it hasn't vanished up into the air.


I'm so evil with the cliff hangers and what not (MWAAAAHAHAHAHAHHA!) ;3
