Emily shut the door behind her. I heard the click of the lock which meant escaping would be a bit harder than it could have been.
"I'm starving," I heard Mike say. I watched as he started toward the platter of food.
"Stop!" I yelled, smacking his hand away.
"Oww!" He exclaimed, rubbing his hand. I must have hit him harder than I meant to. "What was that for?"
"To stop you from dying," I told him, "There's about a 77% chance that SPYDER poisoned that food."
Somebody behind me muttered under their breath, "Wow, where'd you get that number from?" For their sake, I decided to ignore them.
"Okay, yes of course, SPYDER probably did poison the food," Mike rationalized, "But since we're probably going to die in here anyway, I would rather die with my belly full of food than on an empty stomach." Everyone else murmured in agreement, though some were considering their options.
"Now now, it seems we're getting ahead of ourselves," Someone said. It was Mia, grinning like a complete idiot. I couldn't help but wonder what she could possibly have planned. And I was a bit nervous to find out. "I've found a way to get us out of here," She declared.
This ought to be amusing, I thought to myself, smiling on the inside. Everyone else was eager to hear what she had to say, as they were desperate to get out of this room, I however, knew Mia all too well to know that there was about a 98% chance her plan wasn't going to work. I glanced at Valerie and Scarlett and figured they thought the same thing.
"So," Mia began, "The first time Emily walked is in here, I noticed she had two identical keys in the same chain with a tag labeled "keys to secret room" and so since she had two, I figured she wouldn't notice that one was missing. Then when she came in here again, I snagged it from her, so now we can escape!"
The other people in the room looked overjoyed, but I couldn't believe that Mia thought that would work. "Mia, seriously?" I asked her, "She's training to be a spy and you thought she wouldn't notice a missing key? Or notice when you took something from her?!"
Mia shrugged, "Well she didn't seem to notice."
"Why don't you go ahead and try to open the door then." Mia walked over to the door. There was just enough light coming from a single sliver of a window at the very top of the wall so she could see where she was going. She stopped when she got to the door.
"There's no lock," She said disappointedly.
"Yes," I answered her, "Because why would someone put a lock on the inside of a door when there's already on the outside?" She shrugged her shoulders.
"Well," Mike said, "I stand by my previous statement: I'm not going to die on an empty stomach." Then he and everyone else (except me, and surprising Zoe), began to eat all the food. Even my mom. I couldn't believe it.
"I can't believe you guys," I told them disappointedly, "We're not going to find a way out of here if all of us die from poison!" But no one listened to me. I turned to Zoe and told her, "You might as well eat too if everyone else is." She shook her head no.  Fine by me.
There was almost no food left when someone piped up, "See nothing happened," Then I heard a thud on the ground. Guess they spoke too soon. Typical. Then everyone else fell to the ground. Just great.
"What do we do now?" Zoe asked. I ignored her, and instead walked over to my mom, who was also lying on the ground, and checked her pulse. There was still a steady thumping.
"Well they're alive," I informed Zoe, "So I guess now we wait. We should be fine, because any SPYDER agents will assume everyone's passed out."  Then I heard a sound, like air hissing, and I began to feel disoriented. Guess I was the one who spoke too soon.

Joshua's POV

I looked at Ben. He had just passed out. Perfect. Emily came back into the room and reported the food had been delivered (although she had more than a few complaints about Murray, and how she was forced to deliver it.) Everything was going as planned.

Woah! Super short chapter after a super long wait. Sorry. I'm updating on a different device than I usually do, and it's a pain to type on, which is one of the reasons this is so short. Hope you guys enjoyed it anyway!
