Core Narrative 4

Why Us? Atticus went to the local hospital in Oakland, CA to get checked and to see what the commotion was and to see if he was alright. Once his blood is taken, officials walk into his hospital room and tell him that he needs to go to a different facility for testing. He is taken by car further into San Francisco where he is brought to a boat. He meets other people who have also been in through a similar situation. The group of people (how many?) are taken into Alcatraz and before they can question they are immediately strapped to chairs and blood is taken from them, and tests are being done. They keep asking why are they are there and why them out of all people; the “scientists” tell them they will receive their answers soon and that they need more tests done in order to be correctly treated. That was six years ago. Six years. Atticus and the others have been trapped in the cells of the newly refurbished Alcatraz for six asinine years. Laying on the bed he goes over his stay in this “testing facility” Test after test, and weeks without answers to his questions have left him wondering what his purpose is here and if he isn’t getting treated, but instead getting used. One of the first test subjects had died four years ago. The lights go out in the prison, and as Atticus turns over to sleep he hears voices coming from the walls. Atticus listens and all he can hear are the answers he’s been dreading since the day he was forced in here. He hears two different voices:

“The subjects need four times the dosage tomorrow.”

“But sir, that could kill them”

“Who cares they’re guinea pigs anyway”

After hearing this, Atticus immediately informs the other people who are trapped in the cells next to him and they all start planning on their escape in secret.
