TWO
It had never been this loud at the Centre.
Typically, it was quiet. Eerie, even. Only the gentle beeping of machines
to indicate stable life and the electric hum of the building itself, keeping
everything running. People spoke in soft voices, keeping their conversations
private. There was the occasional clatter when someone dropped a food tray
or lost their temper, but nothing as intense as what was happening around
me now.
Gunshots rang out, pinging against the metal tables and equipment in
the sterile cafeteria. I was crouched behind the food counter where I’d been
divvying out today’s meals, trying to figure out where it was all coming
from. Twelve was perched beside me, her green eyes blown wide open and
her hands clutching my arm. She was new and hadn’t been taught the
emergency procedures.
I’d had to go through them time and time again in my six years here.
Though, never with quite this much violence.
Tugging my arm from her grasp, I fought the burgeoning migraine and
tried to find the source of the gunfire. There were a couple of different
sources, based on the angle of bullets. One was at the back entrance to the
kitchen, while another stood in the cafeteria itself. I couldn’t be certain what
or who they were trying to shoot.
Us? Possibly. Some of the doctors were in here too, though, shooting
back. Dr. Wayford held a semi-automatic weapon in his hands, his aura
pulsing as he tried to take out whomever the intruders were.
“Two, should we—”
I cut Twelve off with a silent wave of my hand. If she didn’t shut up,
we’d never be able to follow the proper procedures.
She placed a hand on my back, the touch clearly doing something to
comfort her, and I stifled a sigh and allowed it this time. The poor girl
wouldn’t get herself out without being shot, and she was only sixteen.
When the gunfire waned, I got onto my hands and knees and began to
crawl through the mess of torn up paper plates and fallen kitchen
implements. There was no glass for us to worry about. Glass plates were
considered too much of a hazard.
Someone had broken one once and used the pieces to slice through the
carotid artery of one of the nurses.
Personally, if I’d been desperate enough to manufacture a weapon, I
would have slit my own wrists. A quick death was better than whatever fate
Four had ultimately suffered. None of us were certain what the Centre had
done, but we never saw her again.
Nor did we ever see another glass plate.
“Two…”
I looked over my shoulder and used a hand to gesture her forward,
unsure of why she insisted on being so loud. The intruders were going to
find us by following the sound of her voice, if they hadn’t found us already
by our scents. Omega perfume was especially sweet, and if it was alphas
attacking us, they would be seeking it out.
