The camp was at the table, again, soaking up the sun and tossing cards. Danny mostly stayed in his room for a couple days and only snuck down to the cafeteria when they weren’t there. Sid didn’t seem to be looking for him but Danny wasn’t taking any chances. He just needed some peace to sort through his thoughts.

Lucinda.

She woke up in Foreverland, but what was she? Part of the program? Something real?

It didn’t matter. They all had the same goal: get off the island. He just needed to come up with a solution. He’d established contact with the outside world and no one that ran the place seemed to notice. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t being watched. He’d slipped through the firewall and he was sure he could do it again, at least once. And if he only had one chance, it needed to work.

He couldn’t send for help, it would just look like a hoax. We’re a bunch of kids held on a tropical island given everything we could ever want and we go into a barn and get a needle shot into our heads so we can experience an alternate reality. Please help.

The island was a slick operation. Surely they’d have a plan for visitors. Danny needed something that would get the world’s attention, something that would piss off some important people and make them come looking for them. The next round wasn’t for another week and a half. He had time to think and no distractions. He had to go into the fourth round with something ready to go.

And look for a fight.

The card table was empty. Sid and his band of merry men had gone to lunch. Zin hadn’t left his room. His Investor was bringing up food and closing the door quietly on his way out. Danny had been checking up on him, too. He was tired, but at least he was alive. Maybe when this was all over, he’d find the old Zin in the Mansion. Or maybe a new and improved Zin.

Danny opened his door. The hallway was empty and Zin’s door was closed. He lightly tapped on it. He was going to try the door knob and peek inside the room when someone said, “Zin’s looking for you.”

It was James. He was a fourteen year old kid that never gave Danny any crap.

“Where is he?”

James opened the door to his room and said, “I saw him going out back, said something about a joyride.”

Danny went to his room and threw on clothes and started for the stairs. A joyride? Maybe the old Zin was putting up a fight after all.

He never bothered opening Zin’s door.
