A/N: Thank you very much for the reviews and support! I hope my story continues to please you!

Alright, ignore my warning from the last chapter. I forget I needed to do this before moving on. It is a short chapter, but I felt it needed to be done.

I welcome any new readers! Enjoy!

(Miles)

"Fuck…" The harsh fluorescent lights stung my eyes as I slowly opened them after Lord knows how long. "What the….what the hell did that priest give me?"

The room spun as I sat up and let my eyes slowly adjust to the bright lights.

"Shit," I rubbed my face, feeling like centuries had passed. "How long was I out?"

Peeking down at my watch, the hands pointed to 4:18 a.m. and I felt my heart drop.

'I have been out for four freaking hours?! When I get my hands on that priest…' I fumed internally, scooting to the edge of the cot and rubbing my temples.

'And what was with that dream?'

"Hurry up and find me?" I repeated, reaching out and grabbing my camcorder from the edge of the bed. "The fuck does that me-?"

I shot to my feet, the haze clouding my brain suddenly gone at my revelation.

"Oh my FUCKING God, Young-ja! If you came to find me, I swear-!"

Livid, I pulled at my hair and tried not to kick the wall down.

"No,no, she wouldn't do that," I reassured myself. "She is probably worried sick since I haven't called, but Young-ja wouldn't come here. She read the e-mail and acknowledged the possible dangers. She wouldn't risk her safety for mine."

In truth, I was just trying to make myself feel better.

Knowing Young-ja, as her best friend and husband, I know she would go to the ends of the Earth to ensure my safety.

But, all I had to go on was a stupid dream.

And twelve years of learning how idiotically selfless my wife can be.

'No. No. This is stupid. Young-ja would never leave Ae-cha by herself. …She could be a babysi-ACK! STOP!'

Realizing my paranoia wasn't doing shit for my situation, I pushed all those thoughts aside and focused on where I was.

It appeared to be a cell-a cell with a shit ton of religious symbolism and messages painted onto the decaying walls.

Rest in Peace

Glory to the Walrider

And several other messages that made this cell seem like a tomb.

It didn't take my long it figure out this was probably that priest's cell.

"If you seriously believe I'm going to be your 'witness' for whatever bat shit crazy you're trying to sell me, then you got another thing coming."

Having enough of this, I waltzed up to the cell door and was not surprised to find it locked.

I was surprised, however, when someone slammed their body against the door, unlocked it, then scurried away.

"And they say chivalry is dead."

The door opened into a dimly lit hallway that screamed "Pleasant things happened here. :D"

I stepped out and peeked over the railing in front of me. Hundreds off cells circled around the walls, half of them opened and the other half without doors. Some of the patients were pacing around, mumbling jibberish only they could understand, while others were curled into balls or banging their skulls against the metal columns.

'Hope none of them are like that Big Fuckface from the Administration Block. Don't bother me, and I won't bother you.'

On the floor opposite of me, I could see an 'Exit' sign in the distance and made my way towards it.

Only to find access was blocked by a metal gate and a patient screaming at me.

"Get back! Back! Get the fuck away from me! Rrah!" The patient shook the metal bars with such force that I was afraid they would break. "Huh…Don't you look at me! Don't you dare look at me!"

Then he race away, still shouting at me to stay away.

"Wonder where that door opener went. Could really use him to open this damn gate right now."

After kicking the gate a few times, I moved to the far side of the floor to see if the gate over there was unlocked.

On the bottom floor, I could hear someone crying and punching the ground, while chanting, "Too many voices. They followed me back. No more sleep."

'Voices? Does this have to do with the experiments that e-mail mentioned? What were the experiments for anyways? Murkoff wouldn't do this for the shits and giggles. No, they had a reason. But w-'

I was brought out of my musings when someone punched their fucking arm through their cell window and tried to grab me.

"Shit!" I jumped back and nearly flipped over the railing. "God dammit! What the hell?!"

They retracted their arm and proceed to stare at me with a hideously scarred face.

'It's like someone was in the process of ripping of its face and never came back to finish the job.'

Quickly, I turned on my camcorder's night vision to get a better look at him.

'Might as well get as much as I can. The more evidence, the better.'

Continuing my trek down the hall, I spotted a stairway on my right and was about to race down it when a voice caught my attention.

"Who's this?"

Whipping to my left, I could see two figures standing in the darkness behind another metal gate.

"Maybe Father Martian's man." said another voice.

'So that's the asshole's name.'

I observed them through my lens and felt a shiver shoot down my spine.

They looked like twins and were naked, but that wasn't what unnerved me.

What bothered me were their speech patterns.

They spoke coherently and calmly, like they were aware of their situation.

Like they still had a grasp on reality.

And that is what made them so fucking creepy.

"I would like to kill him."

'Oh fuck me.'

"As would I."

"The preacher asked us not to."

"It would be impolite."

'Alright, 'Father' Martian, maybe I'm won't kick your ass.'

"Not here."

'…Nevermind. I'll kick your ass if these guys don't eat mine first.'

"We give him a running start?"

"There's an idea."

"Then we kill him, we kill him slow."

'…Fuck, I got to get out of here now!'

I slowly backed away and blindly grasped behind me until I could feel the staircase rail. The moment the metal railing was in my grasp, I booked it down the stairs.

That was, until the Twins said something that caught my attention.

"We won't let him slip away like that little girl did."

"Scurried off like the mouse she is."

That ache in my chest grew again, and my denial that Young-ja might've followed me to the asylum was slowly fading away.

'I hope I'm wrong' I told myself, continuing down the stairway. 'I'm hope I'm completely wrong.'

Please, God, don't let Young-ja be in this hellhole.

Please.

(On the outskirts of Denver)

"Ms. Johnson." A tiny voice called out to me, and I peered around my armchair to find little Ae-cha standing in the hallway. Her long black hair was standing on ends, and she had Annie snuggled under her left arm.

"What is it, sweetheart? You should be in bed. Little girls shouldn't be up at this time for night." When Mrs. Upshur dropped her off, I immediately sent her to bed since it was so late, but I know she has been tossing and turning all night long. Even if I didn't hear her moving about, the bags under her eyes were evidence enough.

"Where are Mommy and Daddy?" Ae-cha pattered over to me and bunched up my nightgown in her tiny fist. "She said back soon. Why not back now? Why?!"

"Oh, sweetie." I cooed, stroking her wavy locks and trying to soothe her. "Tell me, has your Mommy ever broken a promise?"

"No!" She shook her head. "Mommy always keeps promise!"

"Then, you need to be patient and have faith in her. Your Mommy made you a promise, and she will keep it. But, she needs you to be a good girl and go to sleep. Then, when you wake up, both of your parents will be here. Alright?"

"….Alright." The disappointment in her voice broke my heart, and I found myself gazing at the clock. 'It has been quite a long time. That Upshur boy always gets himself into trouble, going to God knows where when he has a wife and child at home. I just hope he hasn't gone too far and taken his wife with him.'

I gazed down at Ae-cha who had fallen asleep in my lap, Annie still in her clutches, and sighed.

'If I haven't heard anything by six, I'm calling the police.'

A/N: I felt like it was time for Miles to wake the heck up. And I wanted to check in on Ae-cha. So, this chapter was short, but I need to have Miles wake up before continuing. The next chapter will be a long one!
