Chapter 4
The Rat
(As morning shone its light within the windows of the school, the lights on the inside came on and the speaker was turned on.)
Good morning survivors. Hope last night was fun, because it sure was for me! Hahaha!!!! Anyways, as promised food is out in the cafeteria. Don't worry, I won't come out and kill you...but I am giving you all a time limit! You all have five minutes to get your food and back to where you are hiding...good luck.
(The speaker then shuts off...but no one came out of the shadows.)
Sheridan: .........
(Sheridan was looking at all the cameras to see if he could spot anyone, but all he saw as a sign of life was Shadow.)
Sheridan: Hmph...what, do they honestly think I would put them to sleep by food? Oh well, their loss. If they want to starve themselves then I guess less work for me...but also less fun...
(Shadow then walks into the office and approaches Sheridan.)
Shadow: ......
Sheridan: Ah, Shadow. So, what did you do with the one you captured?
Shadow: I took care of him.
Sheridan: Excellent. Now be a dear and go out there to see where they are hiding. I'm going to sleep for a bit.
Shadow: ......As you wish.
Sheridan: And remember, any form of betrayal you do to me and I will make sure your skin is added to my new coat.
Shadow: .........
(Shadow then leaves the room and Sheridan heads to one of the back rooms in the office.)
Sam's Group
(Sam and his companions were up and out of the office; Sam and Camille had already started mixing chemicals while Blake kept an eye out for trouble.)
Sam: At least nothing was trapped in here...but the windows are another thing.
Camille: We just need enough to destroy Sheridan.
Sam: Can't you believe how close we all were to dying last night?
Blake: I know...and did you feel that shaking last night as well?
Camille: Yeah, he must have blown something up...hope no one got killed when that happened...
Sam: I wouldn't bet on that...
Blake: Should we really not get any food?
Sam: I still wouldn't trust it.
Blake: ...True......
(Sam then mixes something else into his beaker to change the liquid to a dark purple liquid and places a cork over the hole.)
Kari's Group
(Kari was the only one awake since Connor and Erin were still asleep. She passed back and forth while keeping a sharp eye on the door.)
Kari: ...I really hope this is a dream...this really can't be happening...
(A figure then passes near the door, it was Shadow. He noticed Kari and began to open the door, until she shot at the door to keep him out.)
Kari: Stay the fuck away from us!
Shadow: Wait, just let me in.
(Connor and Erin then get up and back up behind the desk.)
Connor: I don't think we should!
Shadow: Please, before he wakes!
Kari: .........
(Kari then motions for Shadow to come in. He does and quickly shuts the door and sighs.)
Shadow: Ugh...finally...
Connor: ...What's your deal with Sheridan anyway?
Shadow: I assure you I have no deal with him.
Kari: Then why are you working with him!?
Shadow: ......Look, I'm actually from the FBI...the cop that arrest Sheridan...was my brother.
Erin: ...What happened?
Shadow: Sheridan happened...he killed my brother.
Connor: What? How did he do that?
Kari: I though he was handcuffed?
Shadow: He was, but somehow he broke free of them and shoved his knife through the metal bars separating the criminal from the cop.
Erin: Wait...why are you working for Sheridan...when you could take him out since you're closer to him than us?
Shadow: That's something that is really hard to do. His reflexes are not human...when he took out Justin; his reflexes were so fast that I barely saw it coming. If I were to turn on him with a good distraction...I would end up the same fate as my brother and your friends.
Connor: ...Speaking of which...you grabbed one of our friends...what did you do with Nick?
Shadow: I snuck him out of this deathtrap. He's possibly at the police by now.
Kari: Well, that's good...
Shadow: now, I need to find the rest of your friends and warn them before Sheridan wakes up...but as long as a few know my true reason I'm good.
(Shadow then opens the door and leaves. Kari then turns around and speaks with her companions.)
Kari: You think Shadow was telling the truth?
Connor: I think he was...but just to be safe, we should keep an eye on him.
Kari: Yeah...
Josh's Group
(Josh and Dalton were out from the bleacher and were looking at the smoldering remains of charred wood and rubble.)
Josh: ......We should get going. It's been an hour since we've heard something from Sheridan.
Dalton: That means he's asleep then...we should move now before it's too late.
Josh: Right.
(The duo then ran towards the band room and sneaks by the office until they managed to get in the band room. As they entered and saw the emergency exit there, Dalton then stops.)
Dalton: Wait...what if it is trapped?
Josh: Only one way to find out.
(Josh then pushes the door open and was expecting something to impale him, but nothing happened.)
Josh: hah! It's safe!
Dalton: Ok......but we should keep this in mind......
(Dalton then walks away from the door and was about to leave the room until Josh stopped him.)
Josh: Where are you going?
Dalton: Look, you wait here while I hurry up and go tell everyone...if I can find them...if I'm not back with the others in three hours, or Sheridan finds you, get out of here as fast as you can!
Josh: ...I'd argue with you, but this is dangerous.
Dalton: Don't worry; I've got a bone to pick with that psycho anyways.
Josh: Find the others first, then try to kill him.
Dalton: I know.
