“Lucy…is family” Rowen said, and snapped his hand off.
“Or rather,,, She’s your wife” Tasha thought with sadness filled in her heart.
She saw Rowen who was about crossing the red line.
“Rowen! I know what wrong with her” Tasha cried out.
“Huh?” He looked at her.
Tasha looked at Lucy.
“Lucy!! Move…Move. You are almost at the red line. Just take…9 more long steps, you can do it” She said.
Lucy gulped.
Tasha inhaled.
“Hurry. The timer is at 8 seconds!”
Lucy breathed deeply.
“Darren” She whispered and her legs jumped after she heard the green light.
She covered her steps in an instant.
Immediately, It was at 1 sec, She gave a last jump which made her land past the red line.
Her egg fell instantly from the spoon but it was cool since she was at the red line.
The doll turned to the others who were still there. The time was over now. Zero sec!
“Darn it!” A man yelled and tried to reach the near red line but the guns on the wall started shooting out bullets.
The few unsuccessful ones tried running but the door had been locked already.
It was too late. They díed.

Gerald closed his eyes since he didn’t want to see the scary scene.
Hearing the angry continuous gunshots was enough for him.
But that didn’t stop him from closing his ears too.
Lucy raised her face from the ground she was on. Her eyes which were blurry slowly got back to normal.
Tasha hand was stretched towards her.
Lucy forced a smile and took her hand. Then, Tasha pulled her up.
Immediately, Lucy got up, Rowen went to her and hugged her.
“You scared the hèll out of me. I’m glad you’re safe” He muttered.
She only smiled.
“Thanks to Tasha”
Tasha looked at them and smiled, warmly.
“I guess you 2 are really a big tight family”
“Sure” Rowen nodded.
*Please, Follow the game conductors to the next room* The voice came from the speakers.
The survivors all followed the game conductors who lead them into another room which had tables and chairs.
*Please, Have a seat in one of these chairs* The voice came again.
“Hey, Phoebe? Do you think this is another game?” Kelly walked to her.
“I don’t know” She shrugged her shoulders while her eyes looked around.
“Just pick a seat” Marshall said and they all took different seats.
Marshall’s seat was close to Leah.
“Marshall?” He heard his name and looked.
“Thank you” She whispered.

Marshall smiled and nodded.
*Firstly,,, Let have a look at the number remaining survivors*
Everybody looked up to see the TV which was showing the number ‘115’
It started reading and counting down.
Everyone’s heart were beating as they watched. They were all nervous.
Leah gasped.
*64* was showing now.
*Congratulations, 64 survivors. You made the first game. Please, endeavor to be at the 2nd game on time which will be holding next tomorrow which is the 4th day*
*As for now, Its breakfast time. The game conductors will come to your tables to give y’all your breakfast. You should eat cause you’ll need all the strength*
“Wait…That means, no game tomorrow. Till, the next?” Gavin muttered.
“At last, Food” Fat Joe inhaled.
*Lucky are those, whose eggs are still with them. It hard boiled and thus can ne enjoyed with the hot pot which would be severed now* The voice said.
The game conductors soon started sharing and serving the dishes.
Rowen wasn’t at rest though.
“What’s wrong with Lucy that only Tasha knows?” He thought.
“Tasha knows about my predicament now?” Lucy thought.
“Rowen? Lucy? When did these 2 ever get married? Was it when I was in still unconscious in the hospital? Why…would he do this to me?” Tasha thought.
AFTER BREAKFAST**
TEAM A ROOM**
“Tasha? Can we talk?” Rowen asked.
Tasha smiled and nodded.
They both went to the other corner.
“You said something back then. About… Lucy”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“You said,,, You knew what was wrong with her”
“I mean…I know what is wrong with her. Maybe, She is ill”
“ill? What does that mean?”
“I don’t even know what I’m saying and why I’m trying to cover up for your…wife” She thought.
“Answer me” He said.
“I think she just needs rest. I think stress isn’t her thing” Tasha whispered.
“Hmm..” He raised both brows and glanced at Lucy who was lying down
“Okay then…” He took his eyes to Tasha.
“Yes” She nodded with a smile.
Rowen smiled.
“Why are you smiling?” She asked.
“I’m just…happy that it wasn’t a big issue” He answered.
“Of course. You ought to be. She’s family” Tasha said.
Rowen expression became blank. Tasha smiled and walked away from him.
She went to the door and knocked it.
“What do you want?” A feminine voice asked. It was obviously one of the game conductors.
“I meed to visit the ladies room” Tasha replied.
There was a 10 second pause before the door finally opened.
“Me too” Lucy stood up and followed Tasha out.
The game conductor escorted them to the next room which was the restroom meant for the same gender and only Team A.
They both entered and the game conductor stayed out, still firmly holding onto her gún.

After the ladies had eased themselves, they started washing their hands under the sink.
They looked at the mirror which was facing them.
“Tasha-
“I know everything now” Tasha whispered, suddenly which interrupted Lucy.
Lucy took her eyes from the mirror and faced Tasha who looked back at her.
“What?” Lucy muttered.
“You’ve amblyopia…and migraines” Tasha said.
“Pardon?”
‘Your eyes…It failing. Just like my grandma! Yoir migraines seems worst”.Tasha sighed.
“What do you know? And why do you care?” Lucy glared.
“Have you told…Rowen yet?” She asked.
“Why must I?” Lucy asked.
“Isn’t he family? He ought to know. You didn’t even bring your drugs. This is bad”
“Its not your business. I’m fine” Lucy snapped.
She was about to leave but the migraines came again. She held her head, and mumbled, painfully.
“Lucy?” Tasha muttered.
Lucy breathed deeply and faced her.
“Help…Tasha” She muttered, as a tear ran down.
“Talk to me” Tasha said, quickly.
“I can’t see” Lucy voice shook.
