wow
thank you so very much everyone for the nice comments
♡
I’ll try to improve to make this more enjoyable to read!!
by the way sorry I didn’t have much time the past weeks ...not even now in fact but I still had to take the time. This chapter has been rewritten a lot, A LOT, but it's better than I thought it'd turn out ... I hope xD
ah yes in the "industrial chapters" Sam becomes S4M or
00.73202
-enjoy! ♡
….Then 00.73202 hastily left, tripping and falling against the wall a few times, leaving stains of crimson behind, before he reached the elevator.
He glanced at Kiaw for a last time still clutching his wounded side. It seemed to Kiaw that he wanted to tell him something important, an unspoken warning.

Chapter 5: Change of Perspective
As soon as the doors of the elevator closed S4M collapsed to the ground in agony.
“You…dumb…Idiot.” He gasped. “If it weren’t….” His vision got blurry. “…for that damn chip….”
…
The elevator halted and the doors slid open and revealed the corridor to the supervisor bunks.
“-If it weren’t for that damn chip you’d probably… …get rid of us all…, …eh S4M?”-A Slig stepped inside and crouched down, glaring S4M into the eyes intensely.
S4M tensed up,
“No… Sir,…”
A new wave of terror crept over him, stronger than the first one, when he had been still with Kiaw.
The Sligs eyes narrowed but then suddenly he grinned: “I would. Hehehehe!” He snickered and stood up again. “If I wouldn’t get paid so much ~ ” He then added joyfully.
S4M relaxed a bit. “As if anyone here’d get paid that much…” S4M whispered sarcastically and frowned. “I was worried there for a moment, …‘thought you’d be ‘the other one’… But the other one doesn’t make such crappy jokes.” S4M clutched his bleeding shoulder.
The Slig’s grin slowly faded into a serious face. “One never knows….” Then he pulled S4M up and helped him to his cell.
“Hrnn… but what happened anyway, S4M?”
“Nothing.” S4M glowered and slumped down on his bunk, but forced himself to sit up again immediately.
“Well it’s not my problem if you let yourself getting killed.” The Slig answered with glee in his eyes. He leaned against the opposite wall, folding his arms. He waited.
“…What…?” S4M stared back at him. He felt like all energy had left his body. He felt like lying down and dying. Instead he tried his best to remain sitting in a straight position, even if it hurt like hell. Even if gravity seemed hundreds of times stronger.
“There was this attack on the Sligs a while earlier…. Food poisoning they say….”
“Yeah heard of it.” S4M answered with a bitter undertone. He sensed his whole arm slowly going numb.
“The Boss is in hospital, my bro said he has no more than a day.”
S4M’s eyes widened in shock as the Slig continued: “The workers here are split in two parties. One side believes it has been those escapees that apparently went missing the other day. The other side thinks it’s you.”
S4M gulped. “How… You know I…”
“As for me, I don’t give a shit.” The Slig chuckled silently. “But my twin brother actually does.”
After a short break he added: “The way things look like …I guess it was you, …but you didn’t really plan for things to turn out this way, did you? I mean it’s unlike you to act so foolishly. Would’ve surprised me…”
S4M literally felt how all colour left his face. His vision blurred again, but stronger than before and dizziness caused the world to spin. If his shoulder wouldn’t have hurt so badly he wouldn’t have had a problem with keeping composure. But like this it was impossible. He wiped cold sweat from his forehead not able to answer anything.
“Look at you, you look funny. All pale. By the way if you stay here much longer you’ll bleed to death. Look at that puddle of blood.”
“NO! …., ….I mean… I’m fine. Don’t. Don’t call anyone. I can.. take care of myself.”
“Really?... But you don’t look well at all S4M. Too scared of brother eh?”
“Just say… what you want already.”
The Slig slowly took out a cigarette and lit it, while speaking, “How did you manage to do something as this, despite of the chip inside of your brain?”
“Why are …why are you interested in that?” S4M’s eye twitched as he barely looked up to the Slig.
