The room was as quiet as a graveyard in the middle of the night.The others all stared at each other to be sure that they had heard the same thing before they all then turned to face Vasquez since it was obvious that they had all heard the same thing.At this point, Vasquez confessing that he had said the wrong words was the only way to salvage what they had heard.They all stared at Vasquez, unmoving and unable to decide whether to believe what he had just said or to ask him to repeat his words.Strangely enough,a part of them could tell that Vasquez was being truthful with what he had said.It was hard to believe but it was also impossible not to believe that the Patrons did not intend to let them out,after all,they had locked them up here and killed off several of the participants like they were flies,how hard could it be for them to also make sure that whoever survived the game never made it out?Saul on the other hand had thought as much especially since he was aware that most of
The pain on Clay's face was palpable and the silence that ensued after her demand was mostly as a result of how much fear they had all felt from her question.Vasquez stared deep in to her eyes or tried to.He could not seem to look her in the eyes and any time he tried to do so,be found himself taking his eyes off immediately.For some reason, he felt that a lot depended on the answer he was going to give and he felt terrible because he knew that he could not give her a good answer which was why he was keeping quiet.She shook him, reminding him that she was still holding him up by his collar which was quite shocking in its own but no one had the time or willfulness to notice that a girl was basically holding up like he was a piece of paper.The tears trickled down her eyes and strangely enough the rest of her face remained quite serious as she spoke again,her voice lilting."Answer me, Vasquez !",She muttered, grunting after."Say something !",She demanded and before giving him a ch
It was not just Clay that was overly affected by the ringing of the siren that Introduced the new day.When the loud buzzing came on,Vasquez had hurriedly closed his ears,as fast as he could but not fast enough to block all the possible noise out.He had gotten a gunshot to his ear a while back , a gift of his street shooting days and his ears had remained sensitive since especially to loud and piercing sounds and this siren was a terrible combination of both.The first time he had listened to the siren,he had been quite literally blown away as he had been unable to handle it.He had learned subsequently to control it,slower than his old self as he had grown older and slower while he was not even paying attention.He could not even think of being mad at the person that had done it to him because it was a mild complication compared to the usual complications involved in his lineof work.He especially considered it mild because he knew what he had done to other people on those same stre
"So, basically what you are trying to say is that , if the Gamemaster comes to know that we know of his existence , he will come after us?"Everyone exchanged looks while Clay laughed her heart out.She was laughing even louder than before and only stopped briefly when she noticed June staring at her quite skeptically.June frowned at her as she stopped her laughter."Don't you see?",She asked June who only frowned more."The Gamemaster,June. The Gamemaster gets to do his job while we just lead him through it",She explained with a wide smile.Clay laughed again as soon as she was done speaking.June suddenly jumped out of her seat and screamed when she finally took her mind off Clay and her incessant laughing and actually thought about the situation at hand." Holy shit!",She muttered,her eyes lighting up like a Christmas tree on the eve of Christmas day.Saul also understood what Clay was getting at but he could not afford himself the luxury of celebrating immediately so he instead b
He continued to stare at her like he was going to say something or even go as far as doing something.Clay did nothing but stare at him, waiting for him to do something, anything really so that she would have an excuse to retaliate and hurt him.There was this feeling she had,it needed to be expended and she was going to be very happy to expend it on the little,white haired boy in front of her.June stopped snickering when she realized that Clay was a bit too serious for the joke that she had thought they were trying to pull."Clay?",She called as she noticed Clay's fingers begin to curl and uncurl in to a fist.She stepped forward, going to stand in between them when she noticed that Clay did not heed her calls.She stepped between them,her eyes immediately on Clay.She saw the maniacal smile that danced at the edge of Clay's mouth and realized that Clay was intent on hurting him if she was afforded the opportunity.She immediately turned to the white haired boy,it would be easier to
"I can explain but first you need to sit down because it is a story that makes you very light-headed ",Clay explained to him, nodding towards him so that he understood that she was offering this as courtesy since he obviously was the only one that could be light headed.Juan stared at her for a few seconds before he made some noise under his breath and moved back to the bed where he sat tentatively like he wanted to be ready to run out of the room at any moment.Clay nodded in appreciation of him listening to her words,she then got herself comfortable to speak to him when she realized something.The white haired kid was still here.She could not continue now so Clay looked over at Vasquez,wanting to signal for him to send the boy away,she did not want to have to say it out.But the flickering light was terrible and it took her a while to even locate Vasquez before she could begin to signal what she was going to say.It did not help that Vasquez kept squinting at her like she was an un
They had to exit the room again to take Vasquez to his sister who was even farther down the hallway which meant they had to spend more time in that dark abyss .They filed out of the room but this time , Saul had taken the forefront so he could continue to Switch the flickering light back on everytime it went off,which was quite a lot of times.Vasquez was walking directly behind him while June and Juan supported Juan as they walked."Old man , how much longer do we have to go?Walking around your dreary hallways is really making me hate you more and more!".June groaned out while everyone pretended not to smile at that .Everyone wanted to be the ones to complain but since they also did not want to be perceived as weak , no one had complained .Clay was personally glad that June had expressed exactly how she felt on behalf of everyone of them.Vasquez was beginning to learn that it would take a whole lot to clear his name in June's book and get her to like him.Liking was probably far
José watched the whole thing unfold uneasily.She was not sure what had happened but she could sense the power change,the kid seemed to be the one somehow in charge.Was that why no one was saying anything about her plan even though it was strange as fuck?She looked over to her brother,the only reason she had done most of the things that she had done in this game, including Listening to what Vasquez,the sick fuck wanted her to do.She could see that even her brother seemed to acknowledge this child.She knew nothing about the child except that she was the one that had Interrupted her brother's fight, defeated him, ended his winning streak and set off this rollercoaster of fighting.She briefly Wondered if that was why her brother seemed to respect the child that he could have probably given birth to if he had procreated as a teenager.Saul on the other hand seems to be just a statutory figure,he did not seem scared of the girl but he also seemed to not be interested in what the girl
