Chapter 17

                                    

                                          
"Alright I got a hit on the location of Hank, Kelly, and Shay." Erin says running in. 
                          
"Where are we heading?" Al ask.
                          
"Underground." Erin says with a smirk.

Kelly wakes up to Hank staring intensely at the wall. Kelly sits up and places a hand on Hank's shoulder. 
                          
"Lay down, Kelly. We're going to need our rest." Hank says. 
                          
"Why? Are we going back to the play room?" Kelly ask nervously. 
                          
"No. We're never going back there, again. Not on my watch." Hank says turning toward Kelly with bloodshot eyes. 
                          
Before Kelly could respond Zachary entered the room with a cart filled with food. He pushed the food next to them and sat down in his chair. 
                          
"Wake her up. It's time to eat." Zachary says as he pulls a cup of hot tea off the cart. 
                          
"Shay, needs a little more rest, Zachary. Just give her a few minutes more." Kelly reasoned. 
                          
Zachary nod his head in understanding and walks toward the cart of food. He pulls a bucket of water off the cart and turns it toward Shay. 
                          
"You don't want to wake her up, then I will." Zachary says before dumping the bucket  of water on Shay. 
                          
Shay jumps from the thin mattress onto the floor, Kelly quickly jumps next to Shay and pulls her to his chest when she begins to shiver.
                          
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Kelly yells rocking Shay back and forth as she shivers intensely. 
                          
"A lot of things." Zachary says thoughtfully. 
                          
"Fuck you." Shay stutters out. 
                          
"Eat up! I'll be back in 2 hours!" Zachary says walking out of the room.

"It turns out, that in the city there are  3 underground Metro Stations that were closed down back in 1990, due to unstableness when an earthquake hit the city." Erin says as she and Jay drive to a local Metro Station. 
                          
"That explains, why we never saw Zachary ever leave the city." Al says as he trials behind Erin with Ruzrek in the car.
                          
"He was here the whole time, right under our noses." Antonio says as he rides with Atwater.

"We're going to get of here, and we're going today." Hank whispers. 
                          
"How? This place is crawling with Zachary's goons. We don't even know where we are, for all we know we could be in a different state." Shay whispers. 
                          
"I agree with Shay. What do we do when we got of here, and where not in Chicago anymore? Hank, it's 3 against a bigger number. This is bordering to impossible." Kelly whispers. 
                          
"I have a plan." Hank whispers. 
                          
"It'd better be a damn good one, Hank." Shay says.

"Sir, why are we packing up base?" A minion ask. 
                          
"Don't question me! And if you must know, I believe that Intelligence is closing in." Zachary says. 
                          
"What would you like me to do?" The minion ask. 
                          
"Pack what we need the most. The rest we'll leave down here, make sure it's not traceable. Also, get a body bag ready. Unfortunately, we'll have to leave one of our guest behind." Zachary says. 
                          
"Which one are you killing off?" The minion ask. 
                          
"The girl. She's getting weaker, and I can't afford to stop the game anymore. We'll give her 1 more hour, then she's dead." Zachary says.
