Adam's POV

"Breakfast!" The guard handed each of us... a can of mushroom stew. Uni pushed it away. "I'm not eating this trash!" "Uni, it's the only thing we got," I told him. He growled and started eating it. I opened it and ate it slowly. "Hey Adam, you seem more down that normal," Nick said, taking a huge sip of the stew. "It's nothing," I replied back. Everyone looked at me. "You're mood seems to be anger, sadness, and betrayal," Dawn said, probably scanning me. I sighed. "Come on Adam, you can tell us," Uni said, finishing the soup, but then sticking out his dog tongue in disgust. "Well, I've been thinking," I started. Everyone started giving me their attention. "What if, we get out of here, bring Cory, and show him the old places we've been too." Uni started barking in agreement. "Yes! Yes! It's a great idea! Then he'll remember us!" Nick nodded. "Yeah, but don't tell him about the stew part. I want someone else to like it." Me and Uni shook our heads in disagreement. "Heck no! That stuff is disgusting!" Uni shouted. "That would work, or we can maybe look for a memory chip," Dawn said. "Chip?" Me, Nick, and Uni asked at once. "He is a camera. All cameras have a chip to store memories," Dawn explained. "But, isn't that weird?" Uni asked. "It's better than nothing," I said. "So, what's the plan," Nick asked. We then, started to plot our escape.

Cory's POV

I was getting dressed in the bathroom. Turns out, there was a door to the right when you enter the room to get to the bathroom. Silly me! As I was getting dressed, in the white clothes again, but then I heard someone knock on the door. "Yes?" "We gotta get going, the scientist want us in their lab." I finished putting on my white shirt. "Us?" "Yeah, both of us," She replied back. I opened the door. "Cool, do you have to get dressed?" She nodded. I moved to the side and let her pass.

After about, 5 minutes, she came out. "What took you-" She was still wearing white, but she had a white dress and headband on. "I know, they said since I'm the only girl here that, I should wear this. I look terrible!" She said, covering her face. "No you don't, you like fine." She looked at me. "Really?" I nodded. "Well then, let's get going." I nodded again and followed her to the lab.

5 days later

Cory's POV (Still)

"Can I come in?" I heard a voice behind me ask. I looked behind me and saw it was Max. "Yeah, just doin' some chemicals. Nothing much." He nodded and walked inside. I took off my goggles and gloves. "What do you need?" "It's, about the, prisoners." I stopped. "Wha-what about them?" I asked. "We, have to finish them off," Max said. I looked at him. "What does that have to do with me? And why do you need to?" He took out a dessert beagle and handed it to me. It seemed familiar, like someone I knew had this. "We want you to finish them and the boss told me to." I pushed the weapon away. "No thanks. It's a great offer, but no." Max shook his head and forced the gun into my hand. "Boss said too, remember?." I looked at the gun and sighed. "When?" I asked. "In two days." Max patted my back and left, not even taking the gun with him. I looked at the gun before placing it on the table and continuing my work.

I finished up work and went back to our room. While walking there, the alarms went on. "Prison escape! Prison escape!" It kept shouting. A group of running guards came past me. "I'll escort you to your room! Follow me!" One of the guards shouted. I nodded and started following him. I kept my hand near my pocket, since that was where I put the dessert eagle Max gave me earlier.

Once we were at my room, the guard nodded and started running the direction the other guards were heading to. I went in the room and saw Christina under the covers. "Wh-who's there?" She said, in a frightened voice. I locked the door and said, "Don't worry, it's me." She poked her head from the covers and sighed. "Oh, it's you." I nodded. "Yeah, are you good?" She nodded and went completely out of the covers. "What's going on?" "Some prison escape," I replied to her. "Do you think it's those guys?" I shrugged. "Can, you sit next to me?" She asked. I chuckled and sat next to her on her bed. "You scared?" I asked. She nodded and hugged me, digging her face into my chest. "You'll be fine Chrisy, I'm here," I said, trying to calm her. "Thanks, camera bro."

It was around an hour later and nothing bad had happened. "Do you think it's over?" Christina asked. I shrugged. "I'll-" Before I could finish, we heard voices from the outside of our door. "Maybe they're here." "Why would they be in here?" I squeezed Christina harder as they kept talking. "Are they gone, now?" Christina whispered. I shrugged. The voices stopped. I got off the bed and crept to the vent and looked up. "I think they left," I whispered to Christina. She got off the bed and went up behind me. Then, I heard some footsteps from above us. We started stepping back till we were against the chest. "I think they're in the vents." I nodded in agreement. We stood still for what seemed like forever, each second my hand getting closer and closer to grabbing the gun out of my pocket. There was one final footstep above us. "Cory." "Drop!" Someone shouted above us. Then, someone jumped out of the air vent, landing on their feet. I pushed Christina more behind me. The person looked up at us and it was the ghoul, Adam. "Is he there?" I heard another voice say. Adam looked up and gave a thumbs up. "I'll get 'em. You get the other stuff." About two people started crawling away, in the air vents of course. "Cory?" Christina said behind me. "Stay behind me, okay?" I whispered to her. She nodded and dug her face into my neck. "Listen Cory, I don't want to hurt anyone. Just come with me and it'll be okay," Adam said, stepping a bit closer. Christina grabbed my shirt even tighter, probably in fear. "Come on, I don't want to hurt you either, just leave us alone. Okay?" I said back. Adam shook his head and chuckled. "Nope, it's either you come, or I use force." I stepped forward. "Try me Adam!" "Did, you just call me?" I gave him an aggressive face. "Leave us alone!" I yelled at him. The door behind Adam opened, and there was Max. "Well, well, lookie here. If it isn't Adam trying to get Cory?" "Max?!" Adam said, turning around. "Well, what are you trying to do?" Max asked, giving me a glare at my pocket, meaning 'take it out'. I took it out and pointed it at the back of Adam's head. Max gave me a glare, but it seemed familiar.

"Uni!"

He, hurt Uni. Adam noticed Max glaring at me and looked back at me. "Cory?" He asked. Max nodded to me. I loaded the gun and pointed it. "Cory, please! They brainwashed you! This it nothing but a lie!" Nothing but a lie? The cage! I looked at Max. "Are you serious with this crap? He's the liar!" I kept pointing the gun at Adam, then Max, but then pointed it permanently on Adam. "Cory!" Christina shouted, tugging on my other arm. I slowly pushed the trigger. "Good job," Max said. I closed my eyes. "No." Then I fired.
