chapter 9
A week of pain, suffering, oblivion, trauma, loss and last of all hopelessness. Regina and I were currently having lunch in the cafeteria. After a week it still baffles me as to why this place is structured purposefully like a boarding school. Lunch consisted of carrot sauce, orange juice, vegetable rice and a slice of chicken.
We were seated together with Sally - the girl who had collapsed in the bathroom- and her room mate Natasha. Sally had only started coming out to the cafeteria yesterday, so did Regina and I. Since the first three days of our week was spent hallucinating and slipping in and out of consciousness, Judith thought it wise to serve our food in our rooms. She kept us informed of Sally's condition. Apparently when she fainted she was rushed to the infirmary and had woken up only two days ago.
I looked at her expectantly, hoping she could give Regina and I a clue of the task we were meant to perform for these bastards. I and Reggie tried to milk out any information that could work in our favour from Judith but it was useless. We only managed to get that this whole organization of what ever the heck they do here is runned by Sergio Yamas. I wouldn't say I was shocked from the revelation considering Tyler's unwarranted visit, but it made me more skeptical. I couldn't phantom why the man and his group of degenerates who cold heartedly killed our parents without empathy or remorse, would go through the burden of taking care of their enemies daughters. I couldn't believe I was eating the food provided by those murderers but starving oneself has never helped the situation. I and Regina had been trying to think of an escape plan, which we had mentioned to Judith twice now. She wasn't for the idea but not against it either.
"So Sally, how do you feel?" I could see it written on her face but I needed words to come out from her mouth inorder for me to hit the nail on the head.
"Have been better" was her response as she went back to swirling her food round her plate.
"Why won't you just tell us what they made you do Sally?" Regina said while letting her cutlery hit the plate giving us unwanted popularity. Regina was always straight forward without minding what the person would say and I didn't see it as an enviable trait but right now she took the words out of my mouth.
"Shhhh" Natasha hushed. She was also as clueless as we were so we could be termed the three stooges.
"Its not that I dont want to tell you guys but we aren't meant to talk about it, the walls have ears and I would be punished" leaning her face closer to ours, she said "you all have to leave today"
All this time Reggie and I had spent our nights pacing back and forth, trying to get a concrete plan before we could leave this place. The security was unbelievably impenetrable but even computers have their glitches.
"There is no way we could do that so soon!!!" Natasha said
"I must agree, we need at least a few more days to plan this. properly"
"Sadly you guys dont have a 'few more days' Sally said while making air quotes. " you've already been here a week and thats the longest you could stay without working for these psychopaths"
I was beginning to get scared, this is far from normal, first we are well taken care of but at a supposed price, secondly no one wants to disclose what the actual fuck is going on here and now we had to escape today? This is way too much.
We were allowed to hang out in the cafeteria after lunch and giving that today is Saturday, we could go to the common room and watch tv or games or 'whatever girls our age do' Judith had said while explaining to Regina and I.
No one of the options of fun, or recreation enticed me because now I had a pressing problem. Judith had proven to be bearable during the past few days and was nice also. Once when I mentioned the escape plan to her she seemed to be considering it.
"Judith? Why don't you want to tell us what these psychos need from us mourning teenagers?"
"Its not something I would like to discuss", she said while sitting on my bed and braiding my hair.
Knowing fully well she wouldn't budge just yet, I left the topic.
"Ok then"
"Staying here so soon after our parents demise, is becoming unbearable, our nightmares are becoming worse, coupled with the fact that those murderers who own this place, killed them" I said while standing up from the floor and taking a place on Regina's bed,who was sitting with her back against the wall while listening to the conversation. It was always hard mentioning Mom and Dad, without crying but now I personally had run out of tears.
"We want you to help us escape" Regina said.
Judith looked shocked and slightly shook her head as if to say 'we are insane'.
"No one gets out from here you know, dont think I haven't tried"
"What?" You mean you also want to leave here?"
"Yes I do, I want to go home also"
"then help us, we could leave together"
"I'll consider it, I dont want what happens here to happen to you two, you're too innocent to go through more heart break"
After dumping our food reminants in the trash, we proceeded to the lounge. Todays was everyone's free day as all the girls were allowed to walk the halls without our lady chauffeurs.
While walking down the hall, we stumbled upon an anxious Judith. She silently gestured us with her hands, out of the watchful eyes of the hawks they dared to call body guards and into the shower room.
Sally, Regina, Natasha and I all exchanged confused glances before we tailed behind her.
"Judith? is everything okay?" Natasha asked
"yeah,why do you look worried?"
Regina asked
She was pacing around the bathrooms' waiting room and I was getting agitated with worry.
"I just heard that you guys would be called upon tomorrow for your tasks, and it got me thinking of your idea of an escape plan Kylie and now is the perfect time, I have to end this injustice somehow"
Sally gasped.
"How do we leave?" I asked
"Ok there is a truck, that supplies clothes, bed linens and toiletries. The truck is being driven by two guys and I happen to be well acquainted with one of them, They would be arriving in" she paused to look at her bronze coloured chain wrist watch "Oh My God!!!" she shrieked "ten minutes"
There wasn't much time if we were going to do this, but this was our best bet. We came up with a plan which consisted on one of us feigning ill and helping the other to the infirmary and with the help of Judith we could follow her there. The infirmary was located in the basement which also happened to have a fire exit. The nurse was said to be a sweet middle aged lady, so convincing her to help us, wouldn't be a challenge.
There were no guards down here because it wasn't necessary since no one except the nurse stays here.
The truck, usually offloads the items in the back entrance of the building which is also down here in the basement so they won't have access to anyone staying on other floors, and it got me thinking how Judith managed to get acquainted with one of them.
After getting to the infirmary we told the nurse what was about to happen and she pleaded with us to get help if we managed to get out of here.
"Come on!!!" we don't have much time" Judith said while leading the way to the back exit. We could see the truck offloading the boxes and I must say I have never been so happy and glad at the same time.
We carefully went closer to the truck, incase there were any guards stationed there. When we were sure the coast was clear Judith headed towards Thomas one of the truck drivers. She was having a very serious conversation with him and he seemed to refuse at first but then he gave in. Finally I would be leaving this place without finding out the evil that is carried out in within these walls.
I guess I spoke too soon because right then I realized I left Dad's necklace under my pillow.
