Try & Distract Him

Marty knew Victor was reloading, but chose the smart path this time. Peeking out from the side, he looked for anything that he could use, but eventually he spied several vials with warning labels on them.

“Fuck it,” Marty muttered to himself and fired a shot at one on the vials, shattering it completely and letting its contents leaks to the floor.

“You fool!” Victor screamed. “That is my life’s work!!” He could hear Victor physically move towards him, and he knew this was his chance while the mad doctor was in a rage.

Marty took a deep breath and stood up. As he turned to face and fire at Victor though, he was beaten to the punch by the sound of a firework. A deep hole appeared right in the centre of Victor’s chest. Victor clutched at himself for a moment before eventually falling to the floor; dead. In his place was Blair who was sitting at the edge of the table. Marty was left stunned at the entire scene.

“Wh-what the hell?” the Englishman finally managed to get out.

“I-It’s YOU!!” Blair let down his aggressive posture as a jubilant smile reached his face. He leaped forward and wrapped his arms around his saviour and roommate. “I can’t believe you came. How did you find me?”

“I-I-“

“Wait,” Blair interrupted. He put a finger to Marty’s lips and looked around. “We can’t stay here. We have a chance to escape and we’ve got to take it. How did you get in here?’

There were so many questions spinning through the young man's mind. What did these people want? What happened to the man in the white coat? Was Blair’s hand really glowing? But as much as he wanted these questions answered, he wanted out of this madhouse just that much more. He put these thoughts to one side and went on autopilot.

“Does it matter? We need to hurry and leave.” He motioned to windowed roof as Blair’s eyes followed his signal. “I found a door that led me straight here and that’s simply it.”

“You’re right, if were quick we can get out of here safely. Gwen is still tied up in the other room. Let’s grab her and go!”

As Blair grabbed Marty’s hand and dragged him towards the door, it suddenly dawned on the young man not only how bizarre his day had been, but that his entire life was likely about to change.
