"I know. I know they're expecting something out of us." I said quietly. "I just hope they aren't at the escape hole. I would hate to get caught right when we're about to make it out. That would be such a let down." I said as we continued to walk. From the looks of it, we were almost there. The sooner the better. I was ready to get out of this place.

I nodded, agreeing with her as we rounded a corner and saw the building we wanted dead ahead of us.
"Okay, we're here." I said wanting to get this done just as much as she did.
Moving up to the stark white building, I made sure Daisy stood beside me before I pushed open the door.
The man behind the desk didn't even blink as we walked in, doing exactly what he was doing last time. We didn't say a word as we walked past him and went down the hall towards the ex-General's office.
"I wonder if he's still in here." I murmured to Daisy as as we stopped outside the closed door.

"I doubt it." I said quietly. "He has no reason to be here anymore. He probably left and is crying himself a river somewhere." I looked up at Sam then at the door. I hesitantly raised my hand, reaching for the knob and twisting it. I could hear the door click and I pushed it open. The Ex-General was gone. No where in sight. His pictures that were on the wall just earlier were gone, his papers were cleaned up, and his desk was neat.

"Well," I said as I stepped into the room behind Daisy and scanned the tidy room, "this is a nice change."
I couldn't decide if this would make it easier or harder to find any maps that could be here.
"I guess, I'll start over here." I gestured to the left, towards a table with various stacks of papers piled on top of one another. "You check the desk, there could be something useful in that."

"Gotcha." I walked over to the desk and pulled the drawer open. "Surprised this isn't locked." I sat down in the chair in front of the desk and began to rummage through the papers and folders. "They're all blank." Disappointment laced my words. I'd try another one of the drawers on his desk. I pulled the drawers along the sides of the desk and began to go through them. Anything that looked interesting, I placed at the top of the desk. I'd found a few papers that had information about this camp and a few others. "I can't find any maps, yet." I stood up after a few minutes, gathering the papers I had found. "Did you?"

Thumbing through the folders that sat on top of the sideboard, I shook my head. "No, it doesn't look like anythings in these. They're mostly bills for power." I threw the folder I was holding aside and picked up the next one. "Gas." I said flicking through the sheet of invoices, casting that folder aside and grabbing the next once. "Water..."
"I'll check these drawers and cupboards." I said tossing the last folder back on it's pile and gesturing below to the sideboard they stood on.

"Alright. I'll check the ones over here." I nodded towards the side of the room I was investigating. I began to open more drawers and such, hoping to find a map or something else important. I flipped through a few folders, scanning the words as quickly as I could without trying to miss any important information. "More files on soldiers." I mumbled, tossing everything back in it's place.
"I don't think we're going to find-" A big chest caught my eye. It was black with a gold lock and gold trimmings. "What's this?" I smirked, walking over to it and fiddling with the lock. "I found something!" I smiled, crouching down to examine the chest more.

"What is it?" I asked turning away from the cupboard I was searching through, looking over at Daisy as she knelt over a large black chest.
"Was that here before?" I wondered as I walked over to join her. "I didn't notice it earlier, and I feel like that's something one tends to notice."
I ran a hand along the top of the chest, the black wood was soft under my fingers. "I wonder what's in it."

I shrugged and made the typical 'I don't know' sound. "Might be something important. Could be maps. Could be secret files..." I drifted off, holding the gold lock in my hands and tugging on it. It was locked of course, but it was worth a try. "Sam, do you think you can pick this lock?" I stood up, placing my hands on my hips and waiting for him to answer.

I looked from Daisy to the gold lock, gleaming brightly as it rested upon the black of the chest. "Maybe... but it does look pretty new, those cell locks were old. Under normal circumstances I shouldn't have been able to pick them, it was a fluke to be honest." I glanced back to Daisy. "But I guess I can give it a go."
I reached into my pocket and pulled the bobby pin that Nina had given to me earlier to help them break out of the cells.
"Maybe start looking for a key, just in case this doesn't work?" I suggested as I gently knelt down beside the chest and grabbed the lock in my hand.

"Yeah, sure, of course." I walked away as he knelt down to unlock the chest. I paused for a moment, wondering where the Ex General would hide the key. I made my way over back to his desk and began to search it again. This time, looking for hidden compartments and places he might've hidden it.
"He may have taken the key with him." I said as I continued to search. "How's the lock coming along?"

"It's a tricky one, but I think I'm getting there." I said as I peered closely at the lock, twisting and turning the hair pin in an effort to unlock the chest.
"But why take the key and not the chest? Especially if he's gone for good, I mean he's not the General anymore so he would have moved all of his stuff out, right?" I asked glancing over at her as she searched through his desk, looking for a key I desperately hoped she would find. I wasn't so sure this lock would crack like the others.

"Maybe it isn't his. It could be the Jaxlor's." I paused for a moment. "But if it is the Jaxlor's, maybe they have the key. They aren't dumb enough to leave it in here... At least I don't think they are." I resumed searching for the key. "We could come back and shoot the lock off." I suggested. I knew it would be loud and cause attention, but if we were about to leave, we should be fine.
"Or we c--" I came across a small white box at the bottom of one of the ex-generals drawers. I picked it up and opened the top. Inside was a small golden key with a blue ribbon going through it. "I think I found it."

I looked up at her and pulled the bobby pin out of the lock. "Give it a try then." I said as I stood up, stepping away from the chest to let her get closer and try the key she had just found.
"I hope it works... I don't really think my way was getting us any where." I admitted.

I walked back over to the chest and crouched down, sliding the key in and twisting it. I heard a small click and the top of the chest creaked open. "Oh my gosh, it worked!" I smiled, opening the chest all the way. Inside were papers, a few guns, and much more we had to search through. "We should grab this stuff and go. We've spent too much time in here."

"But do you think there's a map there? I mean, that's what we came here for." I said as I looked down at the full chest. "And secondly, how are we going to carry this?" I asked, then quickly spotted a thin storage cupboard across the room. Moving away from Daisy and the chest, I went over to the cupboard and opened it up. Just what I thought, a few suit jackets hung from a bar across the top of the small space and below that was a plain black duffel bag, empty and ready for us to use.

"Well, I mean we should look through it as fast as we can. I don't know. I'm getting nervous. I don't want to get caught. I don't want to be thrown back in that cell. I just want to get out of here." I admitted. I began to search through the papers, taking anything that looked even mildly important. "Where the hell would they keep maps anyway? You think there's a map room somewhere in this building?"

"Shove those in here." I said as I went back to the chest with the bag, gesturing to the pile of papers Daisy had made on the floor. "And, if you're worried, then let's just put it all in. I'm sure there will be something in there." I said as sat in front of the chest and started grabbing everything I could get my hands on, stuffing it into the bag between us.
"You're right, we've been here too long." I sighed and glanced over at Daisy. "They might have a map room, they might not, but I don't think we should risk getting out of here to get it. So let's get this stuff and get out of here. We still need to go to the Infirmary." I added.

I nodded, relieved that he agreed with me. I was ready to go to the infirmary, get what we needed, and meet back up with the others. It'd be getting dark in the next hour or two and we needed to get going. The sooner we were out of here, the better.
"Alright, then. Let's get out of here." I shoved the remaining pile of papers into the duffel bag and zipped it closed. "Do you think we have enough stuff?" I stood up and placed my hands on my hips.

"It's going to have to be enough, we haven't got time to double check, you said so your self, we're running out of time." I said as I stood up beside her and glanced around the rest of the ransacked office.
I wondered then how the others were doing, if they were being more successful than us. Hopefully they were okay.
"Come on, let's go." I said and turned back to the door.
