Chapter 45

Gunner winced in pain as he felt his head throbbing and his back was aching so badly. For a moment he wishes to fell asleep again for he won't feel anything pain that was causing him now.

He couldn't but to curse under his breath as he slowly opens his eyes and try to shut down it again. Even his eyes is throbbing and won't cooperate in his feeling.

He slowly turn his head from left to right and roamed his eyes and learned that he was all alone in the room and realized it was the room he had been before. The room that Ibiza had taken him.

'Where the hell is he?" he grunted as he closes his eyes as his head gives him a pang of pain again. He felt he was going to puke in any moment and then it hit him that he wasn't strapped anymore.

He thought that Ibiza had strapped him again because of his heaving feeling. He felt like his body was so heavy to move. He couldn't even feel his feet, he can't even lift it. Maybe it was because of what happened earlier of how he was tossed in the wall by Ibiza.

How he hates his guts and why would he tell him those statements that along the way he knows that he was recording a video? Gunner stops at that thought and asked if he had it recorded. Well does it matter to him anyway? He guesses not because from the first place he believes that no one gets out of the WIC building.

'But not me," he whispered and just like a lightning his blood was giving him a jolt which he instantly moves from lying in the bed and the heavy feeling that he was whining earlier had vanished from that moment.

He roamed his eyes from the room and found nothing to use as a weapon. Not even a scissor in the table or anything that Ibiza uses as he takes the skin out of his legs? He was sure that equipment are just right here and he just have to find it. If he can't escape today and tomorrow there will be another day all he have to do is to be able to survive.

'Just survive," he uttered and he felt like a breaking down but he was surprised that there not even a tear escape from his eyes. At least he was being able to get used to it.

Gunner checked his phone and was shocked when he a crack in the screen. 'No… no please it can't be," he said as his hands were shaking and hoping that it is still okay and just the screen guard of the phone is cracked.

He took a deep breath as he can't turn on the phone even how many times but at the sixth time the phone turned on and realize that maybe it was just the button of the phone is the reason. He exhaled when he notice that the screen wasn't cracked and realized it was just the screen guard.

He felt relieved. 'Maybe I should take the on system by just tapping it," he said as he taps the setting bar and change the gesture area.

He looked at the percentage of the battery and it says that it was already in five percent and be able to shut any time now. He had to go back to his room and the power bank with him and change a room for him to hide because maybe Ibiza had already know his whereabouts. But before that he still couldn't define the fact of what the secret hideout that his twin have made below his bed. He had himself hidden there for at least once but he couldn't tell if he is still safe. Would he rather take it a shot again or finding a room again to hide?

'Please give me a sign," he whispered as he take a walk out of that room. And again his feet had let him in the route where he had run and saw that staircase.

That stair would led him out of there again and would be able to search for his brother but first things first. He had to heal himself again and in order for him to do that he should list all of his plans right now.

'I think I am going insane in here not having anyone to talk to in how many days," he uttered as he keeps his balance touching the wall as he walks. He wasn't feeling fainting but it was just his body that feels heavy and that was understandable because he was just tossed in the air right?

Gunner exhaled, 'I was tossed in the air by that lunatic and dare him calling me his child?" he grunted as he feels sick just by remembering on how Ibiza had called him whenever they talked and he doesn't even if that was a talk.

He shakes his head slowly and focused on his listed goals in able to survive for a day again until he had himself healed. 'The final decision is to stay in Slasher's room and just got hide his spot, that's it," he said and nodded his head as he took the left route.

He can testimony that even the feet of a human looks like have a mind of its own because they are still familiar of where to go as to as the hands that if you forgot what the word is spelled then your hand will write in the air.

'First I have to head to Dr. Vega's office to take a food and from what I remember there still a stone bread there and at least a box of candies and chocolates," he said as he nodded while talking to himself and then he realize that he haven't have his bottle of water anymore which makes him cursed. 'Water, I need to find a bottle for water. I badly needed that," he added as he takes a note to his mind.

Gunner keeps on balancing himself by the help of the wall and he estimated that he is still far away of where the stairs is. He should make it fast before Ibiza would just show on without him knowing. He looked at his back and he was just all alone. He had to make sure and from now on he should be really aware of his surroundings. He should guard himself from now on and that is what Ibiza had told him that hour.

His heartbeat quickened as he try to imagine what Ibiza had just told him there. He was just following him all the time without him noticing and he was able to stitch the skin back to his leg. How the hell did he do that? Gunner couldn't even answer his question or it was him was the problem all along?

'He's a monster," he uttered and keep on walking in a fast pace. 'Get a food and head to Slasher's room and get myself healed again and-' he was cut off by his word when he remembers the serum that he had stolen in Dr. Vega's office. He haven't yet checked it for how many days now and be able to check the result is through is phone that is in need of internet connection of course. And where would he find an internet connection then?

'Slasher," he said answering his own question. Yes, he was right to have an internet connection he had to go where his brother is. There he was sure there is a connection and he would be able to send all of his videos in his frive file and have it sent to United States and he just hopes someone would take it seriously and be headed to the President.

How come he didn't even thought about that? He wanted to smack himself for being such dumb. He had thought from the first place but why he had forgotten about it? Was it because he was way too focus on his goal? That was a lame reason. Something is wrong in him and he had to know it soon.

'What are you thinking, Gunner?" he said to himself and exhaled. There was something in him that he couldn't explain. But he believes he will learn it soon.

He must be thankful from the first place because he is still alive and by the means of that the Gods are still guiding and answering his prayers and the only left there is action and his will to go. Gunner couldn't help but to feel sympathy of his twin brother's situation. He was far too normal from before and he was suspecting that it was his brother who had emailed him that mail but seeing him in the situation makes him believe that it wasn't him. And if it wasn't him then who would it be? Does that person entered in this building and have managed to escape and that is why he had emailed me? But why does the email talking about their father? He shouldn't be circling such questions that he couldn't even answer and would just leave later for him to think about it.

'Void," he said as he tries to recall something in the past that would make sense of who would it be? Did Slasher mouthed the word void before? He thinks not. Did he even have that codename before? He also thinks none. Gunner cursed again under his breath but when he took a right route again he saw the staircase and that makes him run in errands managed not to be strip and got himself hurt again. It is hard to stand in his situation and he just feel lucky because nothing in his bones have been dislocated or what. Maybe an internal bleeding that he just hopes not.

And it hit him of that thought. He can't really recall what Ibiza had told him about those germs in the skin that he had stitched to him. 'Germs… germs what is that again?" he keeps on mouthing as he reach the handle bar of the stairs and carries himself climbing to the top.

And nothing was different even though he haven't still see what's in there and he just hopes that is where his brother's room is because if not he would definitely goes insane.

He was almost at the last step of the stairs and silently hoping that it was the right floor again.

Gunner inhaled a deep breath as he took the last step and slowly roamed his head and smiled.

'I'm here," he said and without hesitation he run as he could and trust his instincts of where his feet would take him. It was like his feet knows where to take him and as he looks at the way he was familiar with it.

'This is the way, yes it is," he talked to himself and couldn't wait to get into Dr. Vega's office. He had to get there to get supplies for himself especially the water because he was too parched to keep going.

And besides as to what he had heard from the murmur of Ibiza even though he was unconscious he could still hear him talking to himself. And he just hopes that he wasn't just hallucinating things. As to what he have heard Dr. Vega is still not yet home so which means he could freely get a supplies for himself and maybe medicines or pain relievers that would help him every day.

'Yes, now I am thinking," he chuckled as he felt he had gone crazy. 'How come I didn't thought about that from the very first place and keeps on penetrating the pain?" he murmured as he keeps on running yet still not letting his guard down because who knows Ibiza might just show up in no time and he just hopes that the favor is in his side now.



He can almost see the office of Dr. Vega when he stopped from his tracks.
