But the orders are important,” Billy replied, trying his best to sound convincing. Finally, the man relented.
Billy couldn’t believe his luck, and he continued down the corridor. He stumbled upon a dimly lit office and walked inside, only to gasp in horror.
Video feeds from surveillance cameras showed that the other guards had found the tied-up guard in the contestants’ bathroom, and they were all looking for Billy now.
Billy’s heart raced as his eyes darted around the room for a phone.
Finally, he spotted an old telephone on the cluttered desk. He had just dialed the cops when the door burst open.
Billy gasped in shock when he recognized the man who entered. It was the customer with poor vision from the store.
“Why are you doing this? What do you want?” Billy asked nervously.
The man smirked. “You’re a man of questions, Billy!
Well, let me educate you. We are nothing but pawns in a game of survival…orchestrated by the wealthy elite, individuals who have seen and experienced everything the world has to offer. But they hunger for more…for the thrill of human desperation and survival.
“The contestants were carefully picked…desperate souls like you…You want money for your wife’s treatment, don’t you?
It’s a game of the survival of the fittest, Billy. And only one emerges as the winner…alive…in the end! Leave that phone, Billy, and you’ll get another $250,000, and you’ll get to go home,” he added.
“There’s no way you can outsmart us! Guards!”
As the men nabbed Billy, he was worried they would kill him. But minutes later, the sound of police sirens filled the air.
The cops were on the telephone line, listening to everything.
The police and K-9 units surrounded the factory, freeing the captives and collecting evidence and data about the game’s organizers.
“Can you tell me how you ended up here, sir?” An officer approached Billy, startling him. Billy narrated the deadly incident, never expecting to see the officer again. But a few days later, while Billy awaited the news about his wife’s condition outside the hospital, the officer approached him.
“We have good news, Billy,” he said and explained how the police had tracked down the game’s organizers.
“And you risked your own life to save those eight people. Good reaps good, Billy, so I’ll take care of your wife’s surgery for you.”
Billy couldn’t believe it. His eyes glistened with tears, and he thanked the officer with all his heart.
