((Chapter 7: Out Of The Factory))

Kid was practically out of breath, as was Stella and Rich from the stairs.
"God. . .! As amazing as this place was. . . Why so deep underground. . .!"
Stella looked around,"I don't see any blood, or toys. . .", they nod, walking slowly and as quietly as they can.
"We're close to the lobby."
Kid and Rich nod, Rich pointed,"We can go through here. . . Take a long path.", Rich lead them into one of the factory floors.
Everyone had vanished, toy parts scattered, boxes tossed aside and something that once would annoy Rich, now he could see how inconvenient it was to him.
Kid peaked through the metal slide door, then immediately leaned back in fear.
"What?"
"Huggy. . ."
Shit. . .
Stella peaked through, seeing Huggy knocking boxes down then his head shot up, looking around and walked away.
"?"
Rich lowered his voice,"Be as quiet as possible.", they nod, slowly taking the stairs up to the control panel to make a loop round.

Blood. . .
Smelled. . . Blood. . . Fresh Blood. . .

Jimmy stumbled out of the door, everything was getting more and more blurry.
"The door is right there!. . . Just a little more Jimmy!"
Jimmy gulped, pushing himself off the wall and made it to the lobby desk.
Baba froze seeing Huggy, realising Jimmy's blood, he must have smelled it.
"Huggy no!"
He stared at her, she glared at him as Jimmy leaned against the counter.
"Huggy, we've already taken the lives of many, good and bad; This man treated us kindly, he's got a family waiting for him!"
. . .
"You gonna leave that kid without an Uncle."
. . .
"How interesting. . ."
Huggy jumped, Baba shrinking at the voice, Huggy ran but Baba stayed by Jimmy's side as she jumped to the desk.
A hand descended down to them, she snarled as it reached Jimmy; His bandages soaked with blood, some glass still in his head, hair and face dripping with blood.
Eyes shut, his breath laboured and his head in his arms against the counter, fighting to stay awake.
The Prototype lifted Jimmy's head, examining him.
"Hmm. . . Seems too. . . Out of it to notice. . ."
Prototype really admired it; His determination to leave, escape, to fight and to even bash his head against Sawyer at even the mention of his family, determined to get back to them.
"I. . . Suppose you've earned earned your freedom.  . I got what I wanted."
Baba then saw Poppy!?
Poppy tried to yell, wires covering her mouth and Prototype gently puts Jimmy's head down, leaving with Poppy.
Baba nudged him.
"Keep going. . . Just out the door. . ."
Jimmy pushed himself up once again, a sway in his step.

Rich held the delivery shutter up for the Kid and Stella, in return they held it for him though he still kept a grip on it as for Stella and Kid weren't as tall as he is.
As soon as he let it go, they all stepped into the parking and distant from the door.
To see a metal arm appear, and slam down the shutter!
. . .
They stood there in silence.
"Guess. . . They can't leave or don't wanna. . ."
"Jim. . .!"
Rich ran to the front doors, Stella and Kid following as they Jimmy stumble out.
Rich grabbed him gently, seeing hair and face soaked and dripping with blood, glass shards in his head and a bandage soaked through completely.
"Jim! Jimmy! Are you with us??"
Jimmy groaned, his head killing him as figures approached him.
Stella and Rich sat him down,"We need to get him to a hospital!", "No shit!", Rich pulled out his phone, standing up to call a near by hospital to let them know they have a patient on the way.
"Don't call. . . Family. . . Please. . . Don't call them. . ."
Stella rested his head on her lap, Kid watched unable to do anything but. . . What could he do-
He yanked his work vest off, now he probably didn't need it anymore,"Here, use this to stop the bleeding more.", Stella nods gratefully, Rich came over,"We gotta go.", so they took one last look and the factory, and carried Jimmy to the nearby hospital.
