"you're late, styles." a voice hissed in the darkness of the hallway. the voice belonged to louis tomlinson, who better liked to go by lou. he and harry had been in that hospital for five years and had become fast friends from the very start. lou had been checked into worthington manor with a panic disorder, but the therapies provided for his rehabilitation caused him to develop another condition. now he was suffering from nightmare disorder and was terribly afraid of sleeping at night. their meeting place was the stairwell that led down into the lobby. they had all agreed on very specific plans which required everything to be done at certain times for everything to work out the way they wanted it to. the patients of worthington manor hospital were sick and tired of the way they were treated by their doctors.

they planned to leave the hospital, dead or alive. and it would all happen that night. for their plan to work, they would start from the bottom up. the lobby was their first point of attack.

there, they had a bitter young nurse receptionist who was always flirting with the younger male patients. at the doors were two armed guards. harry was meant to be the distraction so that lou and another patient in their group could take out the two lobby guards.

the attacks were scheduled to begin at exactly ten thirty at night. at other points in the hospital, there would be simultaneous attacks to get rid of other guards in the hospital.

harry pulled the pocket watch out of his pocket, took one look at it, and stuffed it back in its place. "one minute won't screw up our plans." he defended, adding, "i had to go see mary. she didn't know about this and i asked her to stay in her room until i go and find her."

the doncaster boy scoffed. "mary? i thought her name was jane."

harry gave a shake of his head. "jane is the name the hospital doctors gave her because she won't speak to them. y'know, they had to give her like a proper english name. but she told me her name once. she said it was mary." 

"well c'mon now, lad." lou urged his friend, "we're wasting time."

the two boys rushed down the stair well just as they knew their plan was already taking effect in other parts of the hospital as well.

10:37pm

lou and liam waited in the darkness of the stairwell on the far end of the lobby. both boys watched harry walk into the carpeted room, barefoot, with his blue-ish patient gown was the only clothes he had been given at that hospital. a chunk at the top of his head had the hair shaved off to make room for the lobotomy incision he had gotten that day.

he tried to seem clumsy as he stumbled into the lobby, the body guards watched him as well. they knew how unpredictable and just plain crazy some of the patients were. that was why they had been sent to worthington manor. no one wanted them in society. they were the outcasts.

all harry needed to do was to find the quickest way to get her out of the way, while also catching the guards attention long enough to distract them, giving lou and liam enough time to take them out of the way. he stopped at the front desk. there was some paper work she was getting done, a lamp to illuminate her in the dimly lit lobby, a phone on the far end of her desk, and on the other, a pencil holder full of finely sharpened pencils. 

he didn't have to think it twice.

with lightning fast reflexes, he reached over her reception desk and grabbed a handful of them out of its holder, burying them into her throat. the impact of the blow she received sent spatters of crimson red blood everywhere within a small distance of where she sat, including his face. that was certainly enough to distract the guards.

and it was phase one of their escape plan.
