Chapter 19

Natalie's pov
"Excuse me, sir. I need to show you something. " I said to John
"The files were on this one?" John asked talking about the computer Barrett and Mia where
"Yeah" I said
Mia's pov
"Barrett? Mia? What are you doing? Hey, hey" Grover said stopping us.
"You're trying to leave." Grover said noticing the needle in Barretts hand that is meant to be a
"You honestly think that man is here to save us?" Barrett asked
"Yes. Why wouldn't I?" Grover said
"Grover Look outside. You think they made a vaccine for that overnight." I said
"It's not impossible." Grover said
"Then you are as gullible as the rest of them." Barrett said
"You've lied to us at every single turn. And now Diesel tells me that you hacked the chemical plant." Grover said
"I am part of a group of hackers, so is Mia."
"And that's who you were talking to on the radio then, hackers.Mia why didn't you tell us?" Grover asked
"I didn't tell her I was in contact with them, she didn't need to know" Barrett said.
"We were trying to find out if Keller Chemical...." Barrett started but got cut off by Grover
"You know what I think? I think you're scared. Scared of what's going to happen to you when we get out of here?" Grover said.
"Grover, we should all be scared." I said
"Why are you even with him?" Grover asked
"Because I don't trust John. Hacking the plant that was illegal and now that this has happened people are going to want to know what Barrett and I do, so I trust Barrett because people want him too and if they get us we're as good as dead." I said
"Then why'd you do it?" Grover asked
"My mum asked me to. She doesn't think dads death was natural, she believes that something happened at the plant and the head of the plant wanted it cleaned up. I wanted to find out the truth" I said
"But Violet said.. "Grover said before I cut him off
"Violet doesn't need to know about dad" I said
"We can't trust John and we'll prove it. Follow us" Barrett said
Diesel's pov
"It's been a long week." Natalie said
"Yeah, it'll be over soon. I mean, not us.You know, this whole cluster we're in." I said "What's going to happen to us in the real world?" Natalie asked
"Well, I'm not Mr. Perfect or anything, but we fit." I said
"What are you gonna do out there?" Natalie asked
"Well, I'm not gonna move damn couches, I'll tell you that. It's hard to picture a regular day after this. Or where I'm going to be, like, five years down the road. It's not like being here, you know, now with you." I said
"Well, that's a start." Natalie said
Grover's pov
"Collins wants to talk." Grover said to us
"You are insane, you know that?" Grover said to us
"What's insane is that all of you happily believe a man who came in here out of nowhere with no apparent backup, no credentials, and a suitcase full of shots. Which were all poison." Barrett said injecting Mr.Oink with the poison.
"Sorry Mr. Oink. Rip" I whisper
"The pig doesn't think so." Grover said because Mr. Oink hadn't reacted with.
"Keep watching." Barrett said.
Zoey's pov
"We've got a bit of a situation. Barrett Mclntyre is wanted by the FBI. They consider him a flight risk." John Collins said.
"That doesn't sound possible.Is it because of the computer files?" I asked
"For stealing information related to Keller Chemical." John Collins said
"So he did have something to do with the accident." Diesel said
"It's likely." John Collins said
"But you don't know that for sure." Zoey said
"Then how do you explain this?" John said opening his briefcase, I noticed there was a needle missin
"There's one missing." Natalie said
"Holy shit. He's running." Diesel said
"So what do we do?" I asked
"Let's go find him." Violet said
"No, I'll handle this. All of you stay in this room. I'll be back." John said
"What about Mia?" I asked as John left
"Mia didn't do anything wrong" noodle said
"How do you know? She was defending Barrett" Natalie said
"Mia tells me everything. She has her reasons to defend Barrett." Noodle said
"What does that mean?" Violet asked
"I can't tell you" Noodle said
"She's my sister" Violet said
"That's why I can't tell you." Noodle said
"I'm going to find her, before John Collins does" Noodle said
"You don't trust him?" I asked Noodle
"I don't trust him with Mia, he could hurt her we don't know him" Noodle said leaving.
Mia's pov
"This is absolutely ridiculous. You're either paranoid as hell or trying to escape. And either way, I really don't want part of it" Grover said leaving
"We need to go. He'll sell us out." Barrett said grabbing my hand and running out of the room with me.
"Where are we going to go? he'll find us" I said
"Mia" Noodle said running towards us.
"Get noodle to hide you. I'll go this way, you go the other way" Barrett said
"What if he finds you?" I asked
"I can look after myself. Go" Barrett said I nodded and left with noodle.
"Drama costume room" Noodle said we walked into the drama costume room and sat on the couch.
"Are you okay?" Noodle asked me
"Yeah. Does everyone hate me?" I asked
"No. They're confused. They don't know why you were with Barrett, but they don't hate you" Noodle said we laid there cuddling
"Baby?" noodle asked after a while of cuddling
"Hmmm" I said into his chest
"Did you find out what happened to your dad?"
"No" I said sighing
"I'm sorry" Noodle said
"it's okay, I just want to forget about it." I said kissing him
"I love you baby" noodle said pulling away from the kiss.
"I love you too" I said lying back down on his chest.
Grovers pov
I was trying to fight off a freak when all of the sudden I heard a gunshot and the freak dropped I looked up and there was John Collins
"Thanks for that." I said
"It's Grover, right? Any chance you've seen Barrett? He took something of mine." John Collins said
"I know where you can find him." I said taking him to the lab where he injected the guinea pig. Barrett and Mia weren't there but the guinea pig was and it was dead. Barrett and Mia were right. It's poison.
Violets pov
"Still don't see anyone. It's been, like, 20 minutes. And where the hell is Grover?" I asked
"Better question is where the hell is Barrett? I just can't wrap my head around it. I mean, why would he do all that?" Zoey asked
"Is it really that hard to understand? He's a criminal. Probably a psychopath. He's wanted. Do you even know what it takes to get on that list?" Diesel said
"Yeah, but he got us rescued. I mean, he made the radio" Zoey said
"Yeah, for himself. You have a blind spot for people sometimes, Zoe. But trust me, there is no good in Barrett Mclntyre. There never has been." I said.
Grover's pov
"I'll look in the hall." I told John Collins. I was looking for Barrett when I found him he was knocked out the next thing I know everything's black.
*
"Grover. Grover!" I heard Barrett calling me. I tried to move but realised I was tied up and so was Barrett
"How long have we been out?" I asked Barrett
"A couple minutes I think." Barrett said
"Where's Mia?" I asked
"Noodle went to hide her." Barrett said
"What does he want from us?" I asked
"From me? Information. As for the rest of you... we have to get out of here." Barrett said
"Yeah, easier said than done." I said
