Chapter 20: Escape Plan [2]
Hours Later
*Lights Dimming Down Automatically*
Asano climbs out of her bed wearing her shoes, she rises to her feet walking towards the door but halts as her eyes averted to Yuki, she was on the bed facing the other side probably sleeping. Asano’s eyes saddened, knowing Yuki will be left alone, she still doesn’t get why she didn’t want to co, she figured she was scared because it was just 12 of them leaving, after all, the rest didn’t agree to it.
"Goodbye Yuki-chan," Asano said walking out.
Yuki on her bed slowly opens her eyes.

The 12 kids escaping stepped out of their room imdiately and the lights were dimd down.
"Okay, we gotta stick together, keep it simple and no noise," Shino said to them, they nodded in agreent. Sumi just rolled her eyes at his words.
"Along the path to the elevator, if you spot any caras, let
know," Ten said, adjusting his classes. They nodded.
"Let’s go!"
The kids ventured towards the path leading to the elevator, it wasn’t too dark like they expected, dim lights were making it easy to see. They walked quietly not to trigger the sensors from loud noise.
"Say we get there, how fast can you work your magic smart guy?" Sumi asked.
"It should be easy, just a few wires and there. Just leave it to " Ten said proudly.
They got to the end, the elevator door present.
"Jackpot!" Ten smiles rushing towards it, Shino behind him. Ten bringing out his self-made tools, he began opening the small flat box beside the door, screwing out the nuts.
"How long is this gonna take?!" Kaneki asked impatiently, folding his arms.
"Patience Kaneki Senpai," Mirai said, Kaneki just looked away.
Daiki sighs looking around, he looks up, his eyes sight a small-shaped oval box looking like a cara. He blinks confused. ’A cara?!’ He thought in confusion, studying it more. ’Maybe not, it looks like a water sensor in case of a fire outbreak’. He smiles, concluding the fact in his head, he faced front.
Kana noticed his gesture.
"What? See anything?"
??гeewe??n??vel
"No, just so weird-looking water sensors".
Kana raises an eyebrow confused at his words.
The box opened, but then Ten froze when he saw tons of wires inside.
"That can’t be good," Ten said, startled.
"What? Is sothing wrong?!" Shino asked.
"No it’s just..." he paused for a minute. He faced Shino, smiling nervously.
"I never expected the wires to be this much, I miss the part that we are in a highly classified facility, hacking this won’t be easy. I can’t tell which one to connect to, anyone can trigger an alarm before we even get in the elevator".
"That... Is a problem" Shino clarified.
"So smart guy you are," Sumi said.
"Hey co on! You can’t bla
for the wires being much, last ti I checked they should be few and not like this" Ten said pointing to the tons of wires sticking out.
"We are trying to escape out of a highly classified base so gim a break" he adds looking away.
"You have got to be kidding ," Kana said with twitching eyebrows.
"Is he for real?!"
"What happens now?!"
"He said he got this right?!"
Whispers arise among them, mostly fixed on Ten.
"Shino-san I was certain this was gonna be like 5 wires which I can handle, but this is not what I expected" Ten points out.
"It’s alright Ten, no one said this was gonna be easy," Shino said, placing a hand on Ten’s shoulder. Ten’s face drops, his fist tightens as he looks away.
"I sorted everything out," Ten whispered, facing the box. ’There should be fewer wires than this, despite this place being a classified facility, sothing just doesn’t add up’. He thought with trembling eyes.
’What am I missing?!’
"What now, just go back? We can’t just go back now" Rin said.
"I want to see my big brother," Yumi said as tears welled up in her eyes.
"I don’t wanna stay here" she cried silently as she sobs.
Mirai placed a hand on her shoulder with sad eyes.
Ten stares at Yumi with shaky eyes, for a minute he saw her as his little sister Kagami they were the sa age
_
"Caught you stealing from mom’s purse, she won’t be happy when she finds out," Kagami said in a sing-tone voice. Ten just rolled his eyes.
"I know you won’t tell, just tell
what you want," Ten said with a bird-like mouth. Kagami smiled brightly as she clasped her hands together.
"An ice cream from the amusent park nearby," Kagami said excitedly.
"It’s a deal then, but I’m leaving soon after that," Ten said, adjusting his glasses. Kagami nodded in agreent.
"Deal!" she said cheerfully.

Ten eyes build up in tears as he rembered the day before the explosion. His teeth clenched.
_
"You think you are smart, your dad was too but where is he now... Nothing good cos out of it!" Ten’s mother hissed at him.
"Whenever I look at you, I just can’t help it... I just can’t take it!"
_
Ten’s fist tightens rembering his mom’s words, his eyes averting to the others, all eyes were on him, so pissed, so scared, so worried, and so with hope.
’That very mont, that single lapse of ti, that fatal point...
’Have you ever been in the line of achievent and then failure slaps you right in the face like tons of bricks, how painful can that be?!... You were certain you were close to getting your prize and then failure smiles at you sinister?! Well this is it.’
Ten’s fist clenched in a tight hold, the rest of the kid’s intense stare on him. Pissed, concerned, hope present against their features, a series of mixed readings about their current situation.
