Now I'm totally confused, like generally confused, how come?, Are they talking about the Gabriel I know or someone else out of the picture?. Khan showed a lot of interest in what Ralph was about to say, why would he confide information in Khan and not me?, What is happening?. 
“ Gabriel told me that you made a promise to look after Jane here on his absence, so he sent me here for another mission and asked me to let you know that I was here on a job, that you shouldn't tail on me ”. Ralph explained, I was about to ask questions when I heard the footstep coming in, Khan went back to what he was doing, reading some book, Ralph was now on his feet, hands put together and feets, signalling loyalty and salute for whoever it was stepping in, it was still Patrick, the joker.
“ Come Come come little boy, daddy is calling!”, he spread his arms, waiting for Ralph to come hug him, I hope he doesn't, Patrick might be suffering from a disorder, but he must definitely sense imbalance when there's one, if Ralph do as he asked by running to him or giving him a hug, then I bet Patrick will start suspecting him. Ralph went slowly, step by step and went standing before him, head down.
“ What's wrong son?”, Patrick asked, his hands on Ralph's shoulders, acting like a father, he placed his arm over Ralph's neck and went outside with him.
Khan ran after them immediately and took a peek, he stood on top of that staircase for few seconds before returning back to me. “ What game are you playing?”.
I don't have to ask him what was happening to Ralph, because his comfortable expression says it all. “ I think you're meant to know after all, Gabriel is alive out there, I couldn't kill him knowing that he has a number of people out here waiting for him to fight for them, I saw him and the others, Ralph too when I was with Scar, then I realized that he was trying to look out for people and escaping here would be something he's capable of doing when he found the perfect way, I had to let him go on certain conditions and his was just to look after you ”. He finished, but continued standing there like he was expecting me to say something. I looked up at him, sadness has replaced my anger, now I can feel the soft breeze of hope on my skin, “ You should at least have told me..... ”, he sighed, but tried to maintain his comfortability, “ Patrick seeing you lose hope all this while is definitely a huge boost for him agreeing that Gabriel is definitely no more, try to understand, I have to hold back the truth for tactical reasoning, if you would have remained comfortable and quiet, he wouldn't have relaxed with me killing Gabriel, he will still want to go see for himself ”.
     It has been close to 3 hours since Ralph was taken out by Patrick, Khan has now went outside too leaving only me back here. The only person I want to see now is Gabriel, I just want to see his face, touch him to know whether he's real or they're just making him up to get my mind off what have happened. I heard a footstep down the tunnel, I looked to see it was Matthew, he saw me in an awkward position, trying to break myself free, possibly have hurt my feet while doing so.
“ What are you upto again?..... Look at your feet, do you wish to cut your feet off just to break free?”. He asked me, making me to look down on my feet and saw the Job I have done there already, bruises was around the chained spot, yet the chain is still in one piece while I am hurting myself. I threw myself down and started crying, let go of all emotions at once, throwing all the bravery and weakness aside, yeah..... I know it was supposed to happen like this, to stay strong, I have to let go of the strong person in me first and accept my situation, Ralph said that I am under Khan's watch, but for me, if it's not Gabriel, I'm not safe, never had been.
     Matthew help treated my wounded feet, but never removed the chain, had to adjust it so as to do what he was supposed to, I heard a double pair of footsteps coming in from out there.
“ Don't worry Khan, If Ralph was sure and correct about his reading, I will surely have to do it like he suggested, that's a great idea he gave to me, burning down the whole facility....... Sounds like I'm going for a barbecue ”. Patrick was excited, Khan following him, trying to talk him out of the plan and urging him that they should handle this more carefully than they just talked about. Khan turned to me and winked at me, I guess we're on the move already.
