Darryl POV

I was awaken by the sound of screaming.

I recognized that voice instantly.

Zak.

I sat up, we were still in the janitors closet.

I saw Zak standing with someone behind him.

A man I didn't recognize.

I rubbed my eyes and stood up quickly. I was about to attack him when I realized, he was holding a gun.

He was holding a gun to Zak's head.

This can't be happening.

This has got to be a dream.

"Take one step closer and he's dead." The man said.

By now Zelk and George were standing beside me.

Yeah.

Just a dream.

Wake up Darryl.

Wake up.

Zak was staring at me desperately with tears in his eyes. Then a strange look came over his face, it wasn't fear or sadness, it was determination.

He closed his eyes as if he was bracing himself for something.

Then without a second to spare Zak sprang into action.

He shoved his elbow back, hitting the man in the stomach. The man recoiled in pain and Zak took that opportunity.

He slipped out of the mans arms and the man fired the gun right as Zak jumped to the floor. He reached up and grabbed the gun out of the mans hand.

Zak stood up and aimed the gun at the man.

The man smirked, "You're one smart kid."

Then he said, "Who are you?"

"Why do you want to know?" Zak asked, keeping the gun aimed at his head.

"Do you work here?" The man asked, "Do you work with SSO?"

Zak hesitated, "I don't even know what that is."

The man called out, "Mega, they're clear."

Another guy walked into the hallway.

The guy walked up to Zak, "I'm Mega and that's my partner Clay."
