Chapter 44 by Almax Almax

What are you doing?

Lexi, in the computer room again!

You head over to the computer room, and push your way inside. Just like before, it's empty of people and the only lights on in the room come from dim monitors.

Since Lexi's not here, you figure there's good odds on her being in the vents again. Opening and peering through the hatch reveals nothing, and calling her name out into the vents gets no reply either. So she's probably just running late. You imagine, with her being here in secret and all, she doesn't want to be seen, so she's got to be pretty slow and cautious on her way over here.

That is, that's what you think until you notice something small on the floor of the vent, just before closing the hatch to wait in another part of the room. A little wrapped up lolly, in red plastic. Huh? What's confectionary doing here?

You peer further into the vents, and see that there's actually a trail of these wrapped up lollies, all in different colours, leading down the vent system. Is this.... is Lexi trying to lead you somewhere with a trail of food, right now? Or is this a coincidence?

You pick the first red-wrapped lolly up, and look it over, before quickly unwrapping it and popping it into your mouth. It tastes good! So.... it might or might not be Lexi that left these for you, but either way, you sort of want more. Well then....

You clamber up into the vents again, getting onto your hands and knees and start crawling down the vent system again, following the trail around every twist and bend it leads you. You stop at each of the delicious markers, to unwrap and eat it before moving on to the next. A short crawl later, the trail ends in another hatch, with seven final lollies formed into an arrow and pointing towards the hatch. Ha, score! You pocket them, then fiddle with the hatch to get it open.

Where are you?
