Cleanup

The alarms finally went off after 202 was shot with three bear tranquilizer darts.

Dr. Vandelles was talking with a person who seemed to be part of the council in hushed voices. Leech was only able to pick up small parts of their conversation.

"This is getting.."

"Accident..."

"Lasron..."

Lasron. That was Simon's last name. Simon was executed... what relevance did he have to the facility anymore? Leech could guess. Simon was fed to 202. Something about a lack of resources. That was what they had planned for Leech.

Leech thought about it until it seemed like Dr. Vandelles and the council member were done talking. They left the room and locked it. It was just Leech and 202.

Eventually Leech's heart slowed down. The fear turned into relief that he was still alive. That, even for a couple of hours he would be able to survive. 202 was in a awkward position after being dragged to the end of the room.

The blood from the guards was still on the floor. That turned into a question that Leech could not figure out. Why did 202 notice the guards? The button the guards pressed should have turned them invisible. It was a technology that was developed after 3 years into the war, according to Simon. Had something gone wrong?

Leech was lost in his own thoughts for a while. Questions came into his head; some answered and some he could not figure out.

But there was one question that he thought over and could only make guesses to and pray that they were right.

Was he going to die soon?
