Nefarious (Dreamnotfound)

Panic

What about 3 things you can hear

Your voice, my breathing, and silence

Okay what about 2  feelings you have right now

Tired and stress

Last one 1 thing you smell

Cold air

Do you feel better now?

Yes. thank you

George looks at bad and bad is completely lost

Clay this a friend of mine this is who told me that this was happening both times can I tell him what's going on

Clay nods his head

Okay I'm going to step into the hall with him, but you'll be able to see us while I'm talking to him can you try to drink some more water

Yeah

George stands up and hands the glass to Clay and gives him a small smile before stepping into the hall with bad

Once bad and George gets the hall. Bad waits for George to talk

Clay is having panic attacks

There's nothing in his medical report about it

He hasn't seen anyone about it

Oh... okay how did you know to do that

The grounding technique...I've seen people do it before

Oh okay

I think everything is fine now if you want to go back to bed or whatever

Bad glances in at Clay then says okay and goes to leave

Thank you bad

Of course, good night

George walks back to Clay

Are you tired?

Yeah, a little bit

Your shirts soaked with sweat are your pants also

No just my shirt is

Okay can I have it to put it in the basket

Clay nods then takes his shirt off. George takes it taking it to the bathroom to put it in the basket

Do you want another shirt, or do you want to sleep without one?

Kinda want to sleep without one

Okay lay back down and go to bed

Clay lays down and George covers him up

Do you want me to stay here until you fall asleep?

If you don't mind

Not at all

George sits down in the chair next to the bed and they both drifted off to sleep at the same time

Four hours later Clay wakes up to see George fast asleep in the chair. Clay sneaks out of the room and goes and rings the bell at Sapnap/Karl's room. Karl answers the door very sleepy and wakes up a bit when he seems Clay

I'm sorry to wake you, I just had a question

Um. Okay what is it

It's currently 7:13 and I was wondering what time George needed to be awake

What?

Um it's a long story but he's currently sleeping in my room I'll explain everything in the morning

Okay everyone has  a meeting at 9:30 then I believe George will come get you around 10 to join the meeting so George will probably need to be up at 9 at the latest

Okay thank you I'm sorry for waking you, you can go back to bed

Um okay do you mind if I check everything out first

No go ahead I understand

Clay walks to his room and Karl follows him. After Karl sees that everything is fine, he turns to go back to bed, but Clay asks him to wait a second.

Before you go back to bed can you wait a second? I want to move him to the bed so can you watch to confirm I didn't do anything. Also, can you let the security person know that I'm going to be sitting on the hall on my phone

Yeah, I'll let him know

After Clay moves George to the bed, Clay steps to the hallway close the door most of the way behind him but leaving a little crack.

I'll be here in the hall

Okay I'll let him know. I trust you but I'm going to remind you about the tracker (Karl smiles and returns to his room and Clay stays sitting in the hallway on his phone)

A little over an hour later George wakes up. He sits up looking around the room then it hits him that he's in Clays room and Clay is nowhere to be found

SHIT! I have a huge problem!

George, calm down

BAD! HOW DO I CALM DOWN CLAY IS GONE!

George calm down and go to the hallway

What?

George walks to the hallway and sees Clay sitting on the floor in the hall. Clay looks at him and slightly waves

What the hell is happening

George before I explain know that Kj and the security person knows I'm out here

Okay...

I woke up over an hour ago you were asleep in the chair, so I went to talk to Sapnap about this morning like when you needed up, Kj answered the door I talked to him about it I had him watch me move you to the bed and I asked him to let the other person know that I'll be in the hallway

Bad is this true

Yes, George he's telling the truth

I have to get ready for my meeting and I'll be coming to get you around 10 do you need anything before I go to get ready

No I'll be in my room

George walks to his room to get ready and Clay goes into his room

George are you ready for the meeting

Yes why

Can you come meet me I need to talk to you

George goes to meet bad

We need to tell the boss about last night and Clay

I know...I'm so in trouble

What? Why do you think that?

Because I wasn't completely watching Clay and everything he could have escape and got us all killed

George he's not going to try to

Why do you think that?

If he was planning to escape, he wouldn't have gone to Karl, he wouldn't have asked for Karl to let me know what he was doing in the hall, he wouldn't have asked for Karl to watch him move you to the bed  and he would have tried to do something instead of sitting in a hallway on his phone. He's given us no reason to think he's going to do something

What if that's his master plan

George he wouldn't have moved you to his bed and sat in a cold hallway by himself if he was planning on escape and getting you killed. You are the only one he fully knows and honestly, I think he truly cares and trusts you.

The boss is still going to be pissed

Maybe a little but I don't think he will have precautions for a reason no matter what would have happened. He could have escaped last night whether you were involved or not and the boss knows that. I think after last night Clay got himself a major trust point because he could have easily hurt Karl, Sapnap, you or me or could have escaped and he didn't. He added precaution in without us

Yeah, I guess you're right

Okay let's go talk to the boss right quick before the meeting
