Level Zero: Escapists (Story 3)

"Hush, quiet, listen to the endless silences of the night."

Escapists
I tirelessly scrubbed the floor. One of the head slaves, Detective Lilly made sure everyone was working. While being enslaved, I had befriended Itsu and Swift. Together, we scrubbed the dungeon floor. Swift mopped, Itsu dusted, and I scrubbed. After a few hours passed, Lilly allowed our spot as "clean". I plopped down next to Itsu. " Did you hear that someone escaped? They say it was Splat." I inquired. "Yeah, I wonder how he left." He responded with a flat tone. "Something bothering you?" I asked him. "No, just that we are here." I nodded. I knew what he meant. Nobody liked taking orders from Doctor. Just a few days ago he had murdered three young jammers. He had also taken Kimi and nobody saw her again. We assume he killed her like the rest. She had been very close to Splat, so some believe that is why he left. I sighed. What a world. "ATTENTION SLAVES!" Doctor shouted into the loud speaker. "TODAY JAMAA, TOMORROW THE ANIMAL EMPIRE! I AM LOOKING FOR 12 SOULS TONIGHT!" I grunted. "He should have been the one to be murdered..." I directed this towards the death of Kimi. She hadn't deserved to die. Doctor should have died. I suddenly imagined slitting Doctor's throat. Blood oozing out of the wound... I shookmy head. "You okay?" Swift glanced at me. "Huh? Yeah." I nodded. The vivid image of bloody Doctor kept crossing my mind. "What level of respect am I at?" I suddenly asked swift. "Zero." "Good." I scoffed. Many thoughts came over me that night. I planned it. The escape will happen... I planned everything. I drew with my claws on the stone floor. I didn't care if someone saw it... Yes. We will escape. "We will escape..." I whispered.
