I Don't Have To

A Chase - part 2

I ran to the room where all P.E-related things are stored.

I looked inside if for a while, thinking what exactly am I looking for.

After a couple of seconds of thinking, I started opening drawers.

...

I'll look for jumping ropes. That's the only thing I could use to tie him down.

I opened up drawers just looking for those.

...

Why do we have so much drawers that contain nothing?!

Well, they do contain papers and some weights.

...

Alright, 2 drawers left.

I opened the drawers, and found two jumping ropes.

...

Why are these placed on the farthest drawer? Isn't this a gym for P.E. Classes?!

...

I grabbed the ropes and ran back to Paul.

Well, more like finding him.

...

I saw a man hole with 1/4 of it cover still intact. A single step could make it break down.

This school needs maintenance, or just change the cover.

I could also use this to trap the guy. I could lure him into running towards this.

But I guess I have no time for that.

...

I saw them run around the school building, going in and out of classrooms.

...

I entered one classroom that I expect Paul to enter.

...

As he stepped inside the room, I threw the ropes at him.

"You're still alive. Nice." (Josh)

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?! I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR HALF AN HOUR NOW, JOSH!" (Paul)

"Give me the jacket. Find a way to make him trip and fall down." (Josh)

"That's a really vague command, but I'll find a way."

"Hey, I'll be the one running now so you can take a break too."

...

I wore the jacket and left the room.

Alright. Why is this guy so slow? We already had a conversation in a classroom and he's still not close.

I was about to run when Paul threw the other side of the rope to me.

I grabbed it and held it down.

...

Oh.

The guy did trip and fall.

Wow. I did not expect this to really work.

...

Wow.

His box cutter got off his hand too, so I immediately grabbed that.

...

"Alright. Why did you actually chase me for almost half an hour?! It's stupid at this point." (Josh)

"Hey! I ran longer than you! I should be the one complaining here!" Paul came out of the room.

"And did you not notice it's a different person?! Also, you ran really slow! Why did you even continue running all this time?!" (Josh)
