Charger peeked around the corner one more time, seeing the guy turning back their way. He quickely followed Elfair into the airvent.
'Do you have a better idea?' he hissed at her as he grabbed the panel and put it back in place. He kept watching from a small distance for a while, and watched as the person went by. He was bound to see the door broken and Jack out cold in a few seconds, and Charger quickely scurried after Elfair.
'Lets head to where it's coming from,' he noticed. 'My room didn't have any windows either, so I realy don't know where to go. Lets just follow the flow, air vents have to have an exit in the outer wall to work, right?'
'Mr. Macker? Mr. Macker wake up!'
Jack heard a voice in the distance, as he slowly started to come to his senses.
'Wha?'
'What happened, sir?'
Standing over him was a young new kid that was below Jack in rank. He had yet to learn a lot of things, and right now that was what was buying Charger and Elfair valuable time.
'I don't... uh... my head... I...' he looked up to the empty table infront of him, then suddenly remembered what happened. As he realized it, he quickely jumped on his feet. 'Shit, they escaped!'
He looked at the new kid as if it was his fault.
'How the hell did that happen?!' he shouted. 'You were supposed to sit in the observation room!'
'I... I'm sorry sir, I had paperwork to do and... I didn't want to file it late... and... I'm sorry...'
Jack sighed. Just his luck... he should have known Charger wouldn't go down without a fight... Whereever that guy goes is trouble...
'And the alarms arn't activated because...' he said sarcastic.
'I uh... you we're harmed and...'
'TURN THEM ON DAMNIT! NOW!'
Charger and Elfair reached a bend in the pipes, leading only up. It was where the flow came from.
'Okay, up you go,' Charger reacted as he looked behind him. 'But be quiet.'
Right then, the alarms started to go off, and it seemed asif all hell broke loose in the hallways outside the airvents.
'That took longer then expected...' he looked up to Elfair. 'Hurry!'
