Time stood still completely in a blink of an eye. Ryan thought he heard wrong and asked again. “You stayed here for five weeks.. right ..” He muttered knowing what the answer was already, he didn't just want to accept it yet.
“I just said Five years. I've been here for five years ” Cole stated. Ryan's heart was beginning to throb too hard. “ You've been here for years. How is that possible. What is going on here!?” He exclaimed.
Coke stared at him in confusion. “Are you annoyed I haven't stayed long enough. I know some people that have been here for ten years you know...” He stated.
Ryan almost went crazy. He instantly stood up and dashed out of the room.
“Hey, where's are you going. I'll come with you” Cole said and stood up to chase after him. “Do whatever you want. I need to leave here immediately!” Ryan said fuming towards the door.
The door suddenly swung open and They stopped. It was the Young man From the office, Mr Derris.
Derris stared down at Ryan and Cole. “Where were you two heading to” He asked.
“I was just about searching for you. I need to get..” Ryan was saying but Cole quickly stopped him by covering his mouth. “why did you stop him, what does he want” Derris asked.
“ It's nothing sir. He just wanted to ask about how some things are around here” Cole replied with a faint smile. Derris stared at Ryan who was still struggling to set himself free from Cole's grasp but luckily, Cole was far stronger than him.
Derris hissed and walked away from the pair. Cole finally let go of the raging Ryan. “What were you thinking!” Ryan asked angrily. “ You wouldn't want to get his attention if you want to leave here ” Cole replied.
“Huh. What are you saying ” Ryan asked in confusion. “ You're not the first personal that wanted to leave for some reasons. If they find out you want to leave, they will take you to a different room and lock you up for months. There's no leaving here Ryan, there's only coming here” Cole said.
Ryan stated at him in fear. “What was that all about. Do they expect me to stay here till I die!?” Ryan asked. “Oh, you'll be free to leave after turning thirty ” Col replied. “thirty!?. Is that not way too long” Ryan exclaimed. “We don't have the power to change that” Cole replied.
“You two, will you quit chatting and join the crowd?” Derris asked. They both turned and the children had all gathered as Derris had something to tell them. Ryan sighed and they both walked to the crowd reluctantly.
Derris cleared his throat and started. “I see everyone is doing great lately, we also have new ones joining us. The facility encourages you to live in peace and not cause any troubles for everyone else ” He stated.
“The Halloween party will hold as usual in a week's time, under my supervision ” Derris added. The kids all yelled happily. “ Halloween?.what is that” Ryan asked. “You don't know?” Cole asked. “Yes I clearly don't!" Ryan yelled.
“We just dress in different custume and there's a party too” Cole replied. “Oh that?. Didn't know that is what they call it” Ryan replied. “well now you do. It's always fun, you'll enjoy it” Cole said brightly.
“Halloween..Can I think of a way to get out that day?” Ryan asked himself.
Ryan stayed up the whole night thinking on how to get out of the Facility. Cole soon woke up in the middle of the night to see Ryan was awake. “Hey, it doesn't look like you've slept at all” He stated.
“I have no time to sleep. I need to think of a way to get out of here ” Ryan replied. Cole sat up yawning.
“I don't know how you plan on getting out of here. But I can tell you now that it will not work. Give it up” he said.
Ryan stared at him pissed at his words. “ I'm not trying to piss you off or anything, I'm just telling you the truth. I was like you when I got here too. But after getting caught and locked up tons of time, I have up” Cole replied.
“Is it that hard to get out of here” Ryan asked. “Trust me. It is” Cole replied. Ryan sighed and laid on his back. “What am I going to do now..” He muttered.
“Why do you want to get out of here so bad. Do you have somewhere else to go” Cole asked.
“I Don't. But I can't stay in here waiting for him to find my father. I have to go find my father myself ” Ryan stated. “You seem keen on finding him” Cole said. “ That's my last resort. I need to find him” Ryan replied.
They both were silent for some while. “Alright, what if I help you get out of the facility ” Cole asked suddenly. Ryan sat up quickly eager to hear what Cole had to say. “I thought you said there's no way to escape ” He said.
“Yes. For newbies. I have been here for years and I have been scheming the best way to get out of here” Cole replied. “I see. Will you help me out please ” Ryan asked eagerly. “Yeah. I will ” Cole replied. “Thank so much!” Ryan said brightly.
“ what's the plan ” He asked eagerly. “The party is few days. We'll use it to get out of here” Cole replied. “Oh okay. And how do we use it. I've thought of numerous ways but nothing seemed right ” Ryan asked.
“ I'll let you know when it's time. Leave the planning to me entirely ” Cole stated. “Alright fine” Ryan replied.
“Will you come with me too..” Ryan asked. “Unlike you Ryan, I have no where or nobody out there anymore. This is my place now” Cole replied.
“You cannot stay here till you're eligible to leave. That's absurd ” Ryan opposed him. Cole didn't say anything but stared at him. “Alright, what if..I find us somewhere to stay” Ryan asked. “Somewhere to stay?. You don't have anywhere to stay yet and you want to leave?” Cole asked. “I Will figure out everything later. All I have to do is leave this place first” Ryan replied. “Fine..” Cole said. “So, you'll come with me?” Ryan asked meekly. “I don't think it's a good idea. How are we going to survive out there. We cannot also hide from the police forever. They'll probably find us as soon as we leave” Cole stated. “I have friends who were just like us. They're doing great on their own now. We can do it too” Ryan stated. Cole was quite for a while, he was pondering on what to say. “Fine.. I'll come with you. But don't say I didn't try to stop you when they bring us back here” He said. “Yes!” Ryan said brightly. “And the plan...” Cole said and paused. Ryan stared at him waiting for hi
The day was finally subduing, so was the noise and uproar in the city. Reece stared at the city as his car moved along the streets. Sitting next to him in the car was his right hand man, Jack. Jack worked for Recce, he was more like a personal guard too. Jack's phone seemed to beep all of a sudden. He grabbed it and stared at a text. “Boss, The Intel we sent just dropped something" He stated. Reece turned to him eagerly. “He says the old man is trafficking young girls and women. Turning them into sex slaves at his hotels in the city" Jack stated. Reece sighed in disappointment. He was suspicious of Mr Jacob but he hoped such allegation would turn out to be false. “Umm boss, what should we do now?” Jack asked.Reece didn't answer, he seemed to be lost in his thoughts. “We can call the cops to deal with it or something?” Jack suggested. “We cannot Call the cops. They will do absolutely nothing about it. Jacob has men everywhere, even In the police!" Reece replied. “Then what are
Jack was driving them back home. Reece was completely Mute whilst Jack was driving, He seemed to be contemplating on what step to take next. “Stop when you reach the next bus stop” He suddenly said. “Is something the issue Boss” Jack asked. “I need to go somewhere alone. Return home right away, I'll be back soon ” Reece replied. Jack sighed and continued driving. He soon stopped when he reached a bus stop. Jack alighted from the vehicle and watched as Reece got in and drove away. He took his seat and waited for a bus. Not long after, a bus arrived. Reece was driving through the town heading back for the main city. He stared at the rear mirror and noticed a car following him. “Is that Mr Jacob's car” He asked himself and took a closer look at the car. He slowed down a bit trying to make the car meet up and overtake him. The car sped up and ran into his trunk instead. Reece jumped in fear trying to get control of his car back, He Finally did and stared back at the car. “ it's Mr Ja
Time flew by and Ryan was still alone locked up in the secret room. He felt nauseous as the temperature in the room rose greatly. Ryan passed out after some while and woke up the next day. He unlocked the door and pushed it open. Ryan was extremely confused to see most of the house damaged beyond repair. It seemed the house was burned up, luckily the secret room Ryan hid in was built specifically to resist fire. That pointed out why he felt so hot in the room. Ryan shut the door and moved around. Things were burnt beyond recognition for him. “Mom, Mr Jack?” He called out as he moved around the house. He paused when he heard police sirens approaching the house. Tons of police vehicles and ambulances emerged in front of the damaged mansion. Ryan peeped out to see the cops and quickly ran away through the back door. He hid in the bushes and stared from safe distance. The police men and medics set to work immediately. The corpses were lifted by the medics. Ryan recognized his mother'
Ryan roamed around in the cold and dangerous city. He walked around and asked people if they could recognize his father and no one seemed to know him. Few people offered to help and report the issue to the police but he opposer strongly and ran off each time.The sun was out and Ryan was getting really tired now. He hasn't eaten since daybreak. “I need to eat something soon. I'm getting tired” He mumbled and continued walking around. He soon spotted a supermarket. Overwhelmed by hunger, Ryan didn't think twice before heading into the supermarket . He walked around staring at the huge shelves and stocks all arranged around the supermarket.“There are lot of foods here. I bet they won't mind of I grabbed some?” Ryan mumbled and picked a doughnut and Milk. He slowly ate the doughnut, he soon finished it up and gulped some milk.“What in the world are you doing thief!” A voice suddenly yelled from behind him. Ryan turned around to see one of the workers. “I didn't steal it sir. I took i
One of the men grabbed Ryan and picked him up easily. “Let go of me!. Let go!” Ryan said fighting to free himself from the fearsome grip. The Man's strength exceeded Ryan's greatly and he stood no chance. “quit struggling little one. We just want to have a few words with you” The man said and chuckled. “what do you want from me. Let me go, I have no money you could steal from me” Ryan said bluntly. “Oh, he has no money. What do we do with him boss” The man asked another man who had been watching them from a corner. “ we'll sell him off or something. We didn't even need to go hunting today before a prey was caught. It's a blessing ” The boss said and chuckled. The men all laughed loudly. “Please, you need to let me go. I need to find my father” Ryan said with a tearful eye. “i pretty much care less about that. You're mine now and you're going to make me some money ” The boss stated. The men dragged Ryan along as they headed for a house near the road. They entered the house and Ryan
Ryan could not believe his eyes when the two strangers turned out to be teenagers who looked a bit older than him. They were two boys “ you're teenagers. Why are you living here alone” Ryan asked.“ I'm Brian and this is my twin brother, Blake” He replied. “Yeah nice to meet you..” Blake mumbled and took his seat. “ I'm Ryan. Thank you saving me back there” Ryan said meekly. “You should thank him. He forced me to come with him after he spotted the men abducting you” Blake stated. Ryan gulped and fumbled to seat on a Rusty chair. “So, why are you living alone here?” He asked. “Why don't you tell us what got you involved with those old farts first ” Brian asked. “ I met them when I was looking for someone ” Ryan replied. “And who might that be?” Brian asked.“My father. He left home and some men attacked our house and murdered everyone. My mom protected me and I need to find my father alone now” Ryan replied. “Oh, that's quite sad” Brian mumbled. “How are you going to find him. Do yo
Ryan slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He stared around the room and couldn't spot Brian and his brother. “Where did they go..” He mumbled. Ryan tried laying back down but the rays from the sun was so blinding that he had to sit up back. “ I'm so hungry..” He said and stood up. He walked around a bit. He decided to head down and take a look around the house. The house was very old and pretty much empty. It seemed the house had been abandoned for a very long time. The back door suddenly opened and it was Brian and Blake. “ What are you doing ” Blake asked staring at him suspiciously. “Oh, I woke up and couldn't find you. Decided to take a walk around ” Ryan replied. “Oh, okay” Blake mumbled. “You should be careful about that. There are dangerous objects laying around everywhere ” Brian stated. Ryan gulped and turned back upstairs. The three reached the room and settled down. “Where did you both go ” Ryan asked after noticing the lads came in with bags. “We went shopping ” Brian re
