Diesel's pov
"His men should be here by now." I said
"Their on their way. Barrett's been secured. It's time to get going." John Collins said.
Noodles pov
Mia keep yawning.
"Mia get some sleep" I said to her
"But"
"no buts."
"Fine" she said laying on me. She must have been really tired because she fell asleep very quickly. I moved out from under her and put a pillow where I was laying. So looked so cute I snuggled up but I had to go find Barrett and make sure he was ok. Sure he might be a pain in the ass but he doesn't deserve to die.
Grovers pov
"Why would you hack Keller?" I asked Barrett
"To expose what they were working on." Barrett said
"You mean the chemicals." I said
"We got too close to the truth. I think they blew the place up themselves to cover their tracks. " Barrett said
"So Collins works for the plant." I said
"Yeah, best guess, he's the clean-up." Barrett said
"The clean-up?" I asked
"He wants to kill us. We've seen too much." Barrett said
"Yeah, you mean the freaks." I said
"Yeah." Barrett said
"But he kept you alive." I said
"He wants to torture me first. And I know more than anyone." Barrett said
"He'll want to do the same with Mia if he finds out she apart of it, but Natalie likes her so I don't think she told him about Mia" Barrett said
"So why did he keep me alive?" I asked
"I have no idea." Barrett said to me
Natalie's pov
"Everybody, roll up your sleeves." John Collins said
"I should go find Grover." Violet said
"He's in the bathroom. He'll be back soon." John Collins said
"So what did Barrett say when you locked him up?" Zoey asked
"Nothing. I'll let the authorities work that out." John Collins said
"So who's first?" John Collins asked pulling out a needle.
"How about me? " I said lifting my sleeve and getting ready for the injection
"You ready?" John Collins asked the needle hovering over my skin
"Ready as I'll ever be." I said
"Now... just a pinch." John Collins said
"Okay." I said prepared to get out of here.
Grover's pov
"I can't break free." Barrett said
"Me either" I said as I heard the door open I struggled more. Noodle entered
"Shit" he said and ran over to untie me then Barrett
"What the he'll happened" Noodle asked
"The needle its poison he's going to kill us all. We need to save the others" I said we ran to the teachers lounge John Collins was about to inject Zoey.
"I'm not a fan of needles." Zoey said
"Nobody is." John Collins said before he noticed diesel and violets face
"Something wrong?" He asked just he finished his sentence as I hit him over the with a plank of wood.
"Why did you do that?" Diesel asked
"It's not a vaccine." Noodle said
"It's a poison. He's here to kill us" I said
"It's a poison?" Natalie said holding a cotton ball to her arm where she had been injected.

"Two aspirin would kill a guinea pig." John Collins said from his spot tied to the pole.
So could a shot of vodka. Or a cup of mouthwash." John Collins said trying to defend himself
"I didn't give it even close to the full dosage." Barrett said
"What did you put in my body?" Natalie asked
"A vaccine. To protect you." John Collins said
"How do you feel?" Zoey asked
Fine. I mean, my stomach's a little weird, but...I think it's just nerves." I said
"He tied me up." Barrett said
"Because you and your friends blew up the chemical plant." John Collins said
"But why did you knock me out?" I asked
"Diesel?" I asked as he put one of the needles to johns neck
"It's pretty simple. You're saying this is a vaccine, right?" Diesel asked John nodded
"Well, that means you wouldn't mind getting, now, would you?" Diesel said pressing the needle into John Collins neck.
"Don't." John Collins said as diesel was about to inject him.
"Why are you trying to kill us?" Violet asked
"I'm doin' my job." John Collins said
"It's because we're witnesses to the horror show going on out there." Noodle said
"All I know is... your friend doesn't have to die." John Collins said
"What's in the syringe? What kind of poison is it?" Violet asked
"I don't know." John said
"Unlikely." Barrett said
"Her only chance is getting medical attention. I can radio for help." John Collins said
"Sure. Right after you call for more people to come kill us." I said
"Then send me to my vehicle.I have an extra suit. I can get her outta here." John Collins said
"You'll go get it and come back, just to be nice?" Diesel said
"She'll die if you don't trust me." John Collins said
"She's dying because we did trust you." I said
"Yeah, well, she's not dying alone." Diesel said injecting John Collins with the poison
Diesels pov
"Your girlfriend's dying. Shouldn't you be spending her last moments on earth with her?" John asked me.
Zoey's pov
"How are you feeling?" I asked Natalie as we walked
"The same as 30 seconds ago." She replied
"Not even like a headache?" I asked
Oddly enough, I'm getting one now." She said
"I just don't know how you can think about anything else." I said
"Right now, I feel fine." Natalie said
"Maybe Barrett was wrong" Natalie said
"Barrett's not usually wrong." I scoffed
"Are you trying to make me feel bad?" Natalie said
"No! Of course not. I'm just worried." I said
"Well, I'm not. I'm not thinking about dying at all. I'm not... wondering if it hurts or if I could have done more while I was alive or if anyone's gonna think about me after I'm gone, I... I'm not wondering what it's like. One minute you are, and the next... you just aren't. I'm not thinking about it at all." Natalie said causing me to hug her. Whilst slightly crying .
