Beginning Of The End

Chris finally awoke in shock and quickly stood up, scanning the room for any threat before calling out to Emily.

"Emily?! Emily where are you?!"

His thoughts are all over the place and he is trying to remember what had happened. He finds his knife on the ground and picks it up when a note falls to the ground. He picks and up and opens it when it reads:

"We'll be waiting for you near the exit within a storage room near the office. Dr.M"

"Mason, you've crossed the line now!"

Behind the note is a map showing where he must go. Chris is angry and can't understand what is happening however there is one thing he understands and that is he must find Emily immediately. He finds the rest of his things and collects them before walking out of the room.

"I'm coming for you, Mason!"

Chris walks back to the safe zone and burst through the door and everyone stops and stares at him. He yells out to the speaker calling out Dr.Mason's name.

"MASON! WHERE ARE YOU?! GET OVER HERE NOW!!"

but no reply...

He calls out to Dr.Mason again and again but to no avail. Enraged Chris shoots the speaker before ripping it out of the wall and destroying it. He goes to the bar counter and picks up as many beer bottles and cloth's as he could before leaving the Safe Zone. Everyone was completely silent...

Chris went to his workshop to collect more things. After he finished packing his things he calls out to the speaker one last time but there was no answer. As he began to leave he heard a sound coming from the speaker. He turns around and calls to Dr.Mason again and this time someone replied but it wasn't Mason.

"Hello, Chris Johnson."

The voice said. Chris was surprised by the pitch of the voice. It was deep. Deeper than a deep hole in the ground. This caught Chris off guard as he was expecting to hear Dr.Mason. Chris collects himself from his confusion and asks:

"Who are you?"

The voice was silent for a moment before responding.

"I'm sure you've heard of me. I am The Joker."

Chris was surprised to finally talk with the man he heard of so much.

"What do you want from me?"

Chris hears Joker take a sip from a drink. He hears the drink be placed on a table and Joker finally replies.

"I'm here to finally get your answer, Chris Johnson. Will, you finally choose to stay with the experiment or will you fight against it?"

Chris suddenly stopped. He turns around to look at the speaker and he could feel that Joker was smiling. Chris was silent. He is thinking rather or not to take the deal or not. He stayed silent for a bit before replying.

"What happens if I do?"

Joker without hesitation replies.

"Then it's war but you can save Emily a lot faster than if you stay with the experiment."

Chris is silent. He knows that this is what Joker wants however he knows that Joker isn't lying either. He understands that the fastest way to save Emily is to accept his offer.

Suddenly Chris's camera came back online and the world can finally see him again. They see him standing still like a statue not moving a muscle. Detective Sho is watching Chris intensively as he's surprised he is brought back online.

"I know this is what you want but I know you're telling the truth."

Chris said. He walks to a nearby table and picks up a semi-automatic rifle before saying:

".....I'll do it"

Joker now with a large smile on his face screams in excitement.

"YESS!! OH, I CAN'T WAIT CHRIS JOHNSON! FINALLY, WE CAN FIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER! I can't wait to see you again. Chris Johnson."

The speaker cuts off and he hears a rumbling noise coming from outside. He prepares a Molotov and pistol before slowly scouting the area. Then the noise he hears stops until he hears gunfire coming in the direction of the Safe Zone. He sees 3 men shooting down the building and sneaks up behind them. He throws the Molotov at them before shooting them dead with his pistol.

"How the hell did they react so quickly? Were they waiting for my answer so they can gun down the others?"

Chris walks into the Safe zone and stares at the bodies inside. It was a gruesome scene which he wasn't affected by much however He didn't understand why but after looking at this horrendous scene, for the first time in a long time. He felt like he might not make it out of this alive.

He starts hearing footsteps behind him. He quickly grabbed his things and hid behind a corner and waited for them to come out. When they did Chris sneaked behind them and threw 2 more Molotovs before running.

"Let the real game begin."
