"Did I startle you?" General Damie asked, she was dressed in a blue gown, it almost looked like royalty. She was very beautiful, had the family brown hair, and a leadership aura. Though her presence felt friendly. She was a very prominent individual who reported directly to the Captain, but on this occasion, she seemed to be biased by the fact that the event was too important to be disturbed by indigents who had just infiltrated the center.

"No...no, you didn't. We just didn't see you coming. What do you want?" Caperon asked without hesitation, while Stefan straightened up his position in respect.

"You just had my attention, what exactly do you want your uncle to know nothing about?" Damie asked inquisitively.

"None of your business, as the General, don't you have something else to do today of all days?" Caperon asked arrogantly.

"Yes, yes, I do. The first batch of volunteers sent a week ago are two days late" She took a deep breath, "The second batch sent yesterday has not arrived and I'm not sure they will, and guess what?" She looked blankly at both of them as if they were the answer she searched for.

"What?" Caperon and Stefan asked uniformly.

"Your dear Uncle Renald is issuing an impromptu third batch, right now" She gave a psychotic laugh and continued, "The volunteers escaped somehow and are in the facility running, Yes I know, if that's what you're trying to hide from your Uncle, good luck, he's about to find out in a few minutes." This was the queue both Caperon and Stefan needed to hasten their search if they didn't want to be scapegoats to the Captain.

"Stop right th- ahhhhh" Allison wasted no time bringing down an officer who just breached them.

"Roe, you OK?" He asked Rohan as they kept on moving.

"Yeah I'm fine, fine" he replied. They had lost a few of their company on the way, leaving just four members surviving. The crew made their way higher in the building, as the whole facility was on alert now, every exit now had an officer on guard, and patrolling squads marched through the hallway. However, every move was made lightly so as not to scare the rich audience below.

"We need to keep off the hallways, don't you think they have cameras everywhere?" Rohan asked

"I don't see any though, shit! someone's coming, hide!" Allison ordered. They watched as a few armed men jogged past them talking to their communicators. The crew let the men disappear out of sight before they moved on with their journey.

"It's okay" Rohan tried to assure a young girl in their crew, she looked like she was about to break into tears. She only nodded. Just then the crew came to a hall junction, with nowhere in mind to run to. They could hear the uniform sound of boots approaching from literally everywhere. This was surely the end for the crew.

"Psst... in here!" Jenna seemed to appear from nowhere.

Allison in fright pulls out the blaster, armed and ready to use the weapon on her but Rohan stops it at the last minute.

"Al, I know her okay?" Jenna was holding an open secret door that looked like a normal wall in the facility.

"That's the General's niece! Are you serious?"

"Are you getting in or not?" Jenna asked holding the door. Allison gave a distrustful look before they all hopped in.

"Where are they?" Lirk asked, his expression was stoic and unchanged. In the room were the General, his nephew, and Stefan.

"They are still in the building Uncle, it's not a problem we can sti-", Caperon tried to talk but was cut off by the Captain.

"I don't know why you needed to call me out here, I have an audience to attend to. Go to the streets and fetch me more, at the end of the day they'll come out of their hiding places and you do the rest." He turned to leave but Damie called him back.

"I want you to watch this camera footage." Damie showed Lirk the camera footage of the previous event of Rohan and the officer.

"And so"? He asked.

"You don't get it do you?" She zoomed in, "Isn't he familiar to you"? Lirk looked a bit surprised.

"Isn't that the kid who tried to enter here? Look, if he got in, how's that my problem? Just do whatever you ha-"

"He is Erkan's son"

Lirk was jolted for a while before he composed.

"And what's that supposed to mean, that's not possible" Damie nodded her head "How do you even know?"

Damie turned to Caperon and gave a leading hand.

"His name is Rohan Hol uncle," Caperon said obliged to respond to the General's order.

Lirk looked confused before he started to laugh, he brushed a licker of sweat from his forehead.

"You see, his name is Hol, not Nile, he's not him. For Christ's sake Damie, don't play this prank anymore."

Damie walked up to his face, "Sometimes, I wonder if you think with the shit in your mind, Erkan's wife's last name was Hol dumbass."

"You know you all were just on an outcome-less escape?" Jenna proclaimed. She led them through a slightly dark inner room which seemed to connect throughout the whole facility.

"You have no plans to help us escape?" Allison asked impatiently, "I'm gonna use this thing on her Roe!" Allison was impatient, he and his crew were being led by someone he hardly knew and had to trust simply based on Rohan's words. 'What if this was a trap to bring them directly to the Captain.' Allison preparing for engagement in case of an encounter pulls out the blaster ready for action as they walk deeper into the hallway.
