I just want to get out.." he stood up and turned around his bright blue eyes meeting mine. He had messy blonde hair and wore a white sweater and shorts. I suddenly heard faint footsteps and grabbed his hand leading him to the vent. We hid there and held our breaths out of fear of it being another doctor.the footsteps walked slowly past us...
