10:45pm

they had been planning the escape for years, but the patients needed one person to lead them. they had found their leader in harry styles, who had been admitted to the hospital five years prior. he was stronger, had the leadership abilities, and had better formulation of thoughts and ideas than the other patients. others had been there so long that it was difficult for them to distinguish the reality from their fears and nightmares. and for five years, they had been carefully putting together an organized attack that would result in the escape from worthington manor. 

once on the outside, they had all agreed that it would be every person for themselves. 

after getting the woman at reception out of the way, the guards sprung into action, trying to retain harry. but that had been the ruse all along. harry was held against the blood splattered desk with his hands behind his back while he didn't provide much of a struggle.

that was when louis and liam came up from behind them and choked each guard with the sleeve of their hospital gowns. in the process, one of the guards had managed to pull his gun on the attacking young men and shot at lou's hand, sub-sequentially shattering some of the bones in his hand, blood falling everywhere in its wake. but the twenty four year old was past that. 

losing a hand was a small price to pay in exchange for freedom.

as the three young men left the lobby, covered in pools of crimson red blood, louis tore a piece of his medical gown's sleeve off, the very same he had used to choke one of the guards, and wrapped it around his hand without so much of a problem. he only winced slightly as he tightened the blood soaked rag keeping his hand in one piece.

10:50pm

it was only ten fifty as the boys cautiously made their way up one floor. that was where the workshops were located, and what the patients did during the day. it was the cover for the cruel things they did to the patients once the hospital was closed to visitors.

the workshop floor was filled with different rooms for different purposes. the place harry, lou, and liam were headed was the belt workshop. the doctors had patients learn to make things like baskets, belts, sometimes even shoes or coats, then they would have the items shipped off to stores for sale. zayn was in the belt worshop, waiting for his target, a doctor who would show up to see the new belt zayn had made for him.

only zayn planned to either choke him with it or break his skull apart with a workshop hammer. the others didn't care how he would do it, as long as he got his task done. no one from the medical staff could be left alive if they wanted their plan to work.

when they reached the belt workshop, they found zayn sitting at one of the stools with the black leather belt at hand. there was a fakely polite smile on his face that was cleaned off when he saw his mates. "oh, its only you lads. i'm still waiting for dr. morely to show up. he's known to be late to everything, but fuck he's taking too long." the boy with dark hair complained. "i can't wait to strangle that wanker until he turns as purple as a grape." he flexed the fingers of his hand eagerly as he wrapped the leather belt around them.

harry sighed in frustration. "i honestly don't think he's coming. but we can't afford to have him walking around while we do this. he has to die."

"i heard that he was leaving early because he had some errands to run." liam informed his friends.

harry crinkled up his nose. "that all seems very suspicious that he just happened to leave early today of all days. he might be onto us. so if anyone sees him tonight, you fucking kill him." gesturing for the three other boys to follow him, he added, "right now we have to carry out the plan like we agreed. its almost eleven and we all have to be on the operating floor for the grand finale."

the other boys nodded and followed harry out of the room.
