“Where the fuck are we? I thought you knew a way out,” Layla complained through her fear. Connor had gotten turned around and lost his bearings trying to guide them out a quicker way than they had come. All the doors leading outside were locked. “I’m about to just jump out of one of these windows,” Layla continued. But all the windows were barred.

“This must be where they had the fire,” Connor said as he eyed the bubbled and charred walls that closed in around them.

“Try your cell again. There has to be a pocket of reception somewhere in this shit hole. Don’t the emergency numbers still work even when there’s no service?”

“I don’t know. Nothing’s working though. Not even 9-1-1. Looks like my image text to Ryan never went through. I’ll try another.” Connor typed out a message to his brother: Found some weird shit. Call police when you get this. No service where I am. “What’s with that metal cabinet? Look. All the other things are burnt except for that,” Connor questioned.

“I don’t fucking care. I just want to leave.”

“Oh come on. We don’t even know if that stuff was real back there.” Connor was kidding himself. “I mean it could have been stuff that was put there to scare people, keep them away. Right?”

Layla stared at him in disbelief, still shaking and with tears still flowing from her eyes.

She’s right, but I need to keep her calm or else we’re really fucked. Need to get her mind occupied with something else. “Hey help me with this, will you?” Connor feigned struggle in moving the filing cabinet. “There might be a shaft or duct behind this cabinet that we can crawl through to get out.” He made it up, but it seemed to work. Layla bought it.

She pulled with Connor, and Connor gave the unburned cabinet a healthy shove so that it fell over. The metallic crash shook the room and blew decades-old soot and ash into the air. A folder full of papers spilled out across the blackened floor.

“Those are medical records,” Connor said. “This stuff is supposed to be stored private so no one can get access to it. I think this was moved here after the fire.”

“I don’t see any shaft way on the wall.” Layla stood with her hands on her hips.

“Maybe one of the others,” Connor motioned dismissively as he rifled through some loose papers. There weren’t many. In fact it was just the one folder in that entire metal cabinet.

Layla started pulling the other cabinets away from the wall to see what was behind them. She took care to slap her hands free of any dust and soot after each, making sure to keep clean. “A little help would be nice,” she sassed.

But Connor’s mood had darkened. He found something in that folder of old papers. It was a roll call that had the words Night of Power Outage and Escape scrawled across the top. Beneath was a list of patient names with notations that said Contained in blue ink.
