Chapter 21: Branch of Decisions (3.5/4)
Marcel and Capri went to the lobby where they got the keys from the keyholder.
Capri: I think we should grab all of them. Plus, we can't turn our backs on this place.
Marcel: Right. *grabs all the keys that he can find*
They went back to the room where the subjects were locked inside.
???: Did you find the key?
Capri: We have to test the keys one by one to find the right one!
Marcel: I'll do it. Capri, look out for the ones who will attack us. Just like one of them did to that guy earlier when we tried to save everyone in the cell.
Capri: You mean the guy who didn't tell us his name?
Marcel: Yeah...
Capri: Okay then.
Capri watches over the area to make sure there are no intruders in this area. Marcel was trying to find the key one by one.
Marcel: Don't worry, I tested half of the keys that I found.
Capri: Okay...
While he continues to try finding a right key, he finally finds the key that unlocks the door after testing 7 keys.
Marcel: I got it!
He opened the door and five people went out of the room.
Capri: There are five of them locked inside??
Marcel: Dang... they've been locked there for too long... but why?
???: My bad, I'm Sachi. And those four are Odelia, Rohan, Corbin, and Sawyer. Thank you for saving us... we have to do what it takes to survive...
Marcel: How long have you been here?
Sachi: Two years...
Capri: Wait what!? How did you survive!?
Rohan: The scientists gave us the resources like food and water before the day that we're experimented on. And I saw one of the scientists being familiar, and I pitied them.
Capri: Who is it?
Rohan: *sighs* My childhood friend Adrian... he thought that he would have a good future by being a scientist by studying here... but what he gets makes him quit his job. He's forced to do this since the part of his job is testing his conscience, and it's the worst crime he caused...
Capri: Experimenting on people?
Rohan: Not just that, but also unintentionally kill them during the experiment...
Marcel: Oh geez... did others report about this?
Corbin: I don't think that there is a chance of reporting since they're likely to be threatened by their boss. That's why some will either shut their mouths about that situation or they'll face consequences.
Capri: That boss was an asshole! They're experimenting with people's lives just to earn blood money!? This sucks! Now I know why I have a reason to kick his ass!
Odelia: I don't think that it will happen... he's escaped this place from the police, or he's missing like the subjects who escaped...
Capri: Yeah right, if we find him.
Marcel: It's best that we shouldn't.
Capri: Fine.
Sachi: Oh and if you're looking for those three, they're probably on the basement floor. I heard that they found new subjects for him to experiment on. Also, I don't know why he did that. What is his motive again?
Sawyer: To gain the boss' approval?
Sachi: Oh yeah, that.
Capri: That must be Ryker and the other two!
Marcel: I knew it! We have to do something!
Sachi: But first, you guys have to learn who's the biggest threat. Plus, you don't know the consequences yet.
Marcel: So what do we do?
Corbin: To do that, you guys have to be familiar with this place by finding the evidence that was left in this place. What if you unintentionally let them get away with it?
They both thought for a moment.
Sawyer: That's why you need to give them the justice that they deserve since they're an accomplice. Now we have to go out since one of us is injured, and we need to go home. That's all the information that we gave you...
Capri: Alright...
Marcel: Stay safe you guys...
The five of them leave the abandoned laboratory, which leaves only Marcel and Capri.
Marcel: I guess it's the two of us... That's understandable...
Capri: I mean we're the ones who will save her, Bryon, and Pax. I hope it doesn't happen to Bryon and Pax as well...
Marcel: I mean she's not the only one that we have to be concerned about.
Capri: I guess we have to figure it out ourselves. What did you learn about this?
Marcel: If I remember correctly, she stole the blood money after she learned a dark secret.
Capri: Dang... the question is that, did she use to work here?
Marcel: Most likely...
Capri: Right... how did Ryker and Penny know each other?
Marcel: Based on what I read last time, they were probably friends before until they got the same job.
Capri: How did Ryker hate her?
Marcel: Maybe it has something to do with favoritism. I mean it's unfair to the group.
Capri: I mean it could be.
Marcel: So why does Ryker want to gain their boss's approval? Isn't he supposed to find another job? Plus, this place has already been abandoned for who knows how long.
Capri: It's true... Something's fishy about him. Does that mean he still wants to do more experiments?
Marcel: Most likely. Even though it's gruesome, I bet he's doing it for not just the boss's approval but also blood money.
Capri: Like seriously... There are other jobs that he can choose and this is what he gets...
They both heard a scream.
Marcel: What the!? Penny!?
Capri: Oh shit! What are we going to do!?
Marcel: We need to save them!
Capri: But what about the evidence!? We need to put Ryker to justice!
Marcel: Oh no... this is hard to decide...
They both thought for a moment for them to decide.
Narrator (AKA Marshy): Hello! It's your narrator! For this chapter, this leads to two endings: Good Ending and Bad Ending. Meaning, you have to decide which chapter you want to read if you want to move on.
