“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 him to continue. “You were saying something?” He asked. “Yes. The plan” Cole repeated.
“What about it” Ryan asked. “ it's to be the craziest thing you've ever got involved with in your life!” Cole replied. “oh, I see..I hope it sounds good as you think ” Ryan said and laid back to sleep.
*A week later at the facility*
It was finally Halloween and the children were all dressed up in different costumes. The party started and everyone seemed to be having fun, well almost everyone. Ryan and Cole sat in a corner and watched as the madness unfolded.
“Mind telling me what the plan is now?” Ryan asked. “ it's quite simple really. We'll make use of the Chance created by the Party. I know every way around here so getting around shouldn't be an issue ” Cole said and halted as one of the children walked past them.
“We need to cause a ruckus in here first. We'll need to make everyone here exit the Facility and then lure them to the gate. The guards won't be able to stop every single one of us and that might be our only chance to get out of here!” Cole stated.
Ryan thought about it for a while. He sighed and stood up. “We have barely 5 hours left before everything goes back to normal. What can we do to cause a big disorientation within that time” He asked.
“I don't know. Think of something ” Cole replied. They both gave it a thought. “What if we try starting a fire. Or a fake one. They should run for their lives if it involves fire right ” Ryan asked.
“ We've always been told to move out of the facility whenever there's a fire. That might not be enough to lure them go the gate ” Coke replied. “That is right. We still need to get them to the gate...” Ryan muttered.
“They can be pretty foolish some times you know. We can convince them to run out of the facility completely. That might not work for most of them though..” Cole stated. “No, it surely will” Ryan opposed. “It will?” Cole asked.
“Yes. If some of them run, the others would join in fear” Ryan replied. “Oh, that makes sense ” Cole stated.
The two soon set out to Carry out their plan. Ryan walked around for a bit searching for a costume. He was to change his costume with someone that had a less exposing one. He soon found someone and managed to talk his way into getting the costume.
Ryan changed into his new costume and headed for the kitchen. He reached the kitchen and walked in to meet the place empty, as hoped. The kitchen was quite dark as the lights were already turned off.
He moved around carefully. “How do I set the fire alarm off now?” Ryan asked himself staring around. “Are you really trying to get out of here” A voice suddenly asked from behind him. Ryan froze and turned around slowly.
It was a huge letdown to him when he saw one of the children, who looked a little older than him standing there and staring at him. “Huh..what do you want..” Ryan stammered as he said.
“You didn't answer my question. Are planning on leaving?” The boy asked again. “What are you talking about. I was just taking a walk around and got lost” Ryan said smiling nervously.
“I overhead what you discussed with your friend. I can report you to Derris if you won't tell me the truth ” The boy stated. “Fine, Fine. I truly am trying to get out of here.What do you want to do. Are you secretly working for them so they catch anyone trying to escape?" Ryan asked sarcastically.
“I need to leave here too” The boy replied. “ Yeah. Wait, you need to leave here too!?” Ryan exclaimed. “Yes I need to find my little sister. ” The boy replied. “You need to find your sister?. Have you tried telling them about it, they can try finding her for you” Ryan asked.
“They only say they'll find anyone we're looking for. But the truth is, they never do” The boy replied.
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
Ryan watched in confusion as the the men all argued on who to take him away. “Who are you and what business do you Have with the boy” Noel asked the men. “ I'm big Jay. He's my.. Nephew !. Yes Nephew ” The boss replied. “ He's your Nephew ? ” Noel asked. “Yes. You can clearly see we look alike” Big Jay said smiling. “You don't look alike to me” Noel opposed. “That doesn't matter. I'll take my nephew now and we'll go back home and have a long talk” Big Jay said and tried leaving. “You can't leave. We're not done here” Noel said and stopped him. Big Jay turned to him angrily. “What do you want!?” He exclaimed. “The cops want him. Wait, He's your Nephew and you don't know he's looking for his Father?” Noel asked and stared at him suspiciously. “Of course I do. You didn't ask us” Big Jay replied chuckling nervously. “Oh I guess I didn't. But, you cannot still leave with him yet. You can talk to the Police when they arrive ” Noel stated. “We do not have time for that Gentleman. We will
