"Come on! Just a bit further!" cried a man as he held on tight to a young girl. They were both running down hallways as they were set alight with gunshots firing all around behinde them. Sweat was pouring off the man's face onto the white lab coat which was now stained with dirt and blood. The girl had dark brown hair and stood up to just below the man's shoulders. She wore a black shirt and blue trousers along with having a few cuts along her arms and face. Her eyes were brown but the man's eyes were a brilliant shade of blue.
They both ran round a corner and just missed a pipe crashing through the roof and taking out part of the floor. What was chasing them wasn't what would be expected. It was a floating turret of sorts of which was a curved and thick disc shape with guns stick out from the sides along with blades hidden away inside that can be revealed from a hatch opening on the underside. The man's once dark blonde hair was now also tainted with brown dirt and derbies as his glasses had a few cracks in them.
The girl suddenly screamed to him with fear evident in her voice. "A DOOR! IT'S THERE!!!" The man took note and nodded whilst running and had to jump over a few obsticals that were now sticking up out of the floor, walls and ceiling. The girls was smaller and able to do this with more ease but the mans stumbled a bit and got hit by a bullet in his shoulder. He let out a groan of pain as the girl shrieked "DADDY!" The man managed to get up however and reach back to the girl, but another turret had shown up in front of the door and fired it's rounds.
The man quickly picked up a pipe piece and smashed it across the turret, sending it flying back through the hole in the wall. He and the girl quickly reached the door. This wasn;t a ordinary wooden door though, noor was the hallway. All metal plating and the door had a hydraulic bolt lock system. The man quickly punched in the code for the door and hauled it open, but turned in time to see a turret fire it's last few rounds at him and the girl.

"I'm sorry daddy..."
"It's not your fault. I didn't pay enough attention to you, it's my fault...."
The man sat aside the wall, safe from harm at last, he had the girl resting her had on his lap, with a large wound in her chest and shoulder, blood leaking out all over the man's clothes.
"I'm going to die aren't I?" the girl shakily looked up to her father with tears in her eyes.
The man had a small smile and wiped her tears away as tears formed in his own eyes. "No. No you're not. We're both going to get out of this place. We can go back to that feild area again if you want! Maybe get an Ice-cream?"
The girls chuckled weakly and coughed a bit, "Dad, you know I don't go down the beach just for Ice-cream!"
"I know...I know..." he smiled and held her closer.
"Dad...my head feels funny, I feel all tired and...I don't know."
The tears had started to fall from the man's face as he held her, knowing what was happening. "D..don't worry. We will get out of this! I swear! Please..." he looked down to see that her eyes were closed but not a breath to be seen or heard. The man had tears rolling down his cheeks and he held her even closer, eventually screaming out to the world.
A few minutes had passed and he eventually looked up to see a woman standing there with white hair and unnatural yellow like eyes. She stared down at him with a small frown. "I'm so sorry..." she said.
The man's eyes went wide, the areas around them red and stained with tears. "C...caroline...?"
She nodded with a frown. "Yes. They're about to begin...I...don't know if I'll be the same though! It...scares me. They said they need you though."
"Me?! Why? I have nothing! I've...." he looked down at the girl again with more tears then looked back up again. "I've lost my world already...first her mother, I had to raise her myself! What can I possibly do now?!"
The woman had a single tear run down her eye. "I really am sorry...but you need to..."
The man waited a few minutes before eventually sighing and placing the girl down against the wall. "I take it all the turrets have been disabled then..."
Caroline merely nodded. "Yes...don't worry though....I may loose my memory but I doubt I'll remember your name..."
"Names...right." He said glumly as he began walking next to her down the hall. He paused and looked back to see two security guards lift the girl up and take her away. He wanted to run up to them, knock them out and hold his daughter to himself again, he didn't want to let her go...but he knew he had no chocie in the matter.
Caroline nudged him gently. "Come on...I'm not sure what they're going to do to you...but trust e when I say I doubt I'll ever forget your name...we've been working alongside eachother for all the time we worked here. I don't think bring your daughter to work day was the best idea however..."
"Yeah...I know."
"Don't worry Wheatley...let's get this over with and I'm sure things will get better." Caroline said with a small smile as she put an arm around Wheatley's blood and dirt stained back as they both walked down the large walkway towards their destination.
