"Where the fuck are we then?!" A.J screamed. "What the fuck is this? Did we get abducted by aliens? Are we in some weird space computer program where the force field is just a barrier to the unfinished map? Or...." she paused, taking a moment to look everyone dead in the eyes. "Even worse." A.J paced back and forth trying to gather her thoughts, "I swear to Jeezus, if this turns into some Silent Hill shit. I will be dead due to going into cardiac arrest!"
Dean shook her by the shoulders, "Babe!" he then tenderly cupped her face, "Shut up."
"Sorry." she apologized under her breath. "Got a little crazy there."
"This isn't going to turn out like any of those things." Dean assured confidently. "This is some Saw shit that's going on!" Confident Ambrose turned into psycho Ambrose in a matter of mere seconds. A new record. "There's probably something in the air that we're breathing and we have to search this whole place for the antidote! And once we find it, it turns out there's only enough of the serum for one person! Then we have to accept the fact that we're going to be placed into a fight til the death type of scenario! Where only one of us walks out alive!"
"Both of you need to shut up!" Becky shouted.
"I doubt referencing movies is going to help us figure out what's going on here." Aj added.
Dean and A.J crossed their arms, "Well, I don't see any of you guys coming up with ideas."
"Let's just all keep calm, and check this place out." Finn suggested calmly. "Maybe there are other people here that are in as much trouble as we are."
Everybody agreed, except for Dean and A.J. They've seen way too many horror movies and all of them point to Finn's plan being a terrible one.
But it was 4 Vs 2. No matter how strong willed you are, the numbers game always comes into play when it's time for a final decision.
They parked the van in a near by lot when the streets became too cluttered to fit through.
They walked for a good 20mins. until they came across this hospital. It was obviously dark and destroyed. But what made this building stand out from all the others, was that there was a single light turned on from one of the rooms.
"There!" Bayley pointed, "There's probably people in there. Maybe someone got hurt and they're looking for medical supplies."
"I say we go up and check." Finn said, standing beside his girlfriend.
"I do too." Becky agreed.
A.J, Dean, and Aj looked up at the tall building. "1...2...3...----11...12..13..." Dean counted, "No. Bad idea." he shook his head. "That light is on the 13th floor."
"So?" Becky was really starting to get annoyed. In real life, all the movies you've seen will never help in a life or death situation.
"13 is an unlucky number, Becky." she rolled her eyes at her boyfriend.
"Don't tell me you're actually starting to think like these two nut cases."
He shoved his hands in his pockets and rocked on his heels. "I'm just saying. This looks really sketchy."
"What about this place isn't sketchy, Styles?" Finn scoffed, "Whatever. Let's go, Bayley."
Becky turned and followed them. "Becky!" Aj called out, but she just ignored him.
A.J shrugged, "Their funeral."
"At least you chose to be on the A Team, am I right?" Dean patted Aj on the back, who just shot him a glare. "Okay. Okay. No need for the bitch face."
"Are we really going to let them go up to that room?"
"Hey, we warned them and they didn't listen." A.J didn't want to sound like a bitch or a bad friend. But she wasn't going to have someone make her feel guilty about not begging for someone to listen to her.
"So what are we supposed to do then?"
"We're going to look for clues. There has to be something here to give us an idea of where we are." The 2 followed Dean's lead. While others were concerned with finding these 'survivors'. Dean and A.J cared about what this place was, and how to escape from it.

-Hospital-
Have you ever been in a place so dark that you couldn't even see your own hand in front of your face? This was what that was. Pure blackness. Like staring right into an abyss that lead into oblivion.
Lucky for the 3, they used the flashlights on their phones to see in the dark. Finn pushed the cracked button to the elevator. As expected though, it wasn't working. He sighed, "Guess we're going to have to take the stairs."
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Becky screamed.
"What?!"
"A rat just ran across my foot!" she squealed in a fright.
"You saw a rat?" Finn asked.
"Why does it matter?"
"Because at least there's other things alive here that's not us."
"He has a point." Bayley said.
Becky rubbed her goosebump covered arm, "I guess that's a good thing."
After making it to the 13th floor, they stopped when they saw a glowing light at the end of the hall. "Anybody else wanna take the lead?" Finn asked.
"Nope."
"No."
"Dammit."
They briskly walked towards the room. What they expected was to see people. What they got was.... Nothing. Just an empty plain white room with a bright light.
Becky walked into the room, "Nobody? I don't understand."
Bayley put her hands on her hips, "And how come the rest of the hospital was a total dump and this room is spotless?"
SLAM!
They all jerked around. Finn ran up to the door, trying to pull it open. "It's locked!" he shook the nob and pounded his shoulder against the door to try and break it down.
"It's no use, Finn!" Bayley pride him off the door. "We're stuck."
"Well isn't this some ironic, bullshit."

"Why does it feel like we're getting nowhere?" A.J leaned lazily against Dean, dragging her feet across the road.
"Maybe because you two decided to look for clues that don't exsist."
"No, it feels like we're just walking in circles."
"We can't be walking in circles." Dean said, "We've been walking straight this whole time." he looked around at his surroundings, "Even through this thick ass fog, I can still tell that all the buildings we've passed are all different."
"Maybe this thin air is making you hallucinate." Aj told her.
She rolled her eyes. There was a feeling in her gut that said otherwise. Something just felt off. "Wait here." she told the boys.
Dean grabbed her hand, "What do you think you're doing?"
"Trust me on this."
"You're crazy if you think I'm letting you walk off by yourself."
A.J clenched her jaw, "Don't call me that." she ripped away from his grasp. "And I can take care of myself."
Dean groaned in annoyance, watching his stubborn girlfriend disappear into the fog.
Aj looked back at Dean, "Really? You seriously just let her leave?" Never in a million years would he let Becky do that. At least he knew she was with Finn and Bayley. But wandering around alone in a foreign place like this was a beyond stupid thing to do.
"Hey, if she says she's onto something. I trust it."
"You're both crazy."
After a few minutes of standing around, the boys began to get worried. Dean chewed at his nails, hoping that his girlfriend was okay. "Maybe I should have went with her."
"And leave me alone? No way."
"Hey." they both jumped at the voice behind them.
"What the hell? Where did you go?"
A.J looked around, trying to make sense of her experience. "I think... I think I just walked around the world."
Dean didn't understand what she was talking about. "Man, your girlfriend probably smoked some bad weed."
"Shut up!" A.J stomped, "I kept walking straight for a few minutes and then I walked up behind you." she explained. The boys weren't following her story. "Guys, I think this place is changing as we walk through it..."
