The chance to change

"Fuck!" The door was locked as expected.

Mike tried it once. Twice. But no luck.

He put more force to it. Unfortunately, there was no other outcome. 

He walked over to the window, but it was a long way down. It did not seem a good idea as an alternative escape route unless he wished to vacate his life.

Nonetheless, he still valued his life. He had no plans of leaving this world just yet. Therefore, he needed a more viable road to their freedom. Besides, Haley could not go with him in that way.

"What do you think are they planning to do with us?" Haley asked as she paced around the room.

He could think of several assorted scenarios at the back of his mind, but nothing was promising. All of them were gruesome, but it was more about him, not Haley.
