Lab B
Lab B? Was he insane? Wasn't that where...undesirables were kept? She hadn't been, she hadn't any desire to go, but she still followed orders because she wanted answers. She drove in silence for a tense moment before taking one trembling hand off the wheel to fasten her seatbelt.
"You better buckle up Doctor it's been a year since I've driven manually. I...I don't suppose you're going to tell me anything, but I want you to know that I love those creatures, because I was hired to take care of them and feed them and socialize them for this...and now just because somethings happened it's okay to destroy them? That isn't right, and your using somekind of...imagination weapon? Have we been doing weapon experimentation with imagination here? What caused all this commotion?"
She glanced at him a split second losing her focus on the road, but luckily nothing horrible happened. She jerked her head back to the path and then sped up a little eager to put more distance between them and the crumbling staff building on Monster Mountain.
"I guess I don't really expect an answer...but...but I think If we might die, I should like to know why." Her voice cracked and she hastily rubbed away tears so she could see where she was driving.

Cecil was quiet, still staring out the window, stroking the top of the contraption on his arm quietly like a cat before finally he couldn't hold it in any longer. He then started laughing so hard the only thing that seemed to stop him was the sudden gasping for air and a quick spurt from his inhaler before he wove a hand at her, still chuckling through a choked voice, "You were hired to make this look like a zoo, babe. Imagination, she says. Imagination Weapon, Ahahahaha, you hear, that, Codex? AHAhahaahaha... You have no idea. And if you crash this car, I'd be a lot more worried about yourself than me."

Okay the laughter was creepy, just plain creepy, and she glanced at the doctor wondering if he'd lost it back there. Maybe the stress of the situation? No, no he was probably better equipped for the horrors that were happening than she was. Still his laughter almost made her shudder and she had to tighten her grip on the steering wheel.
"I don't see how any of this is amusing, and if this isn't a zoo and that's not an imagination weapon then what is it and why is everything falling apart?" She felt her chest going tight again and tried to control her breathing with slow even gulps of air.
She was afraid, very afraid of what was going on, she had the terrifying certainty that she was going to die and what was even more horrific was the fear that it would be one of the creatures she loved so dear that would do her in. A car crash would be a mercifully normal way to go, but she wasn't suicidal...yet.

"Fear," He said casually, keeping his weapon to his chest and ready even as he reached into the inner pocket of his lab coat for a small flask and took a shot. "If you MUST know. Not imagination, there's no SUBSTANCE to imagination, it's just... an abstract idea for ideas. but Fear... Fear has weight to it, you see. It has a root. And I don't know why everything is falling apart, but that exactly what I intend on finding out. These are not your babies. These are not stray cats that need caring for. Hell, these aren't stray TIGERS. These are the creatures of your nightmares, and yeah, I'm pretty sure you're going to die sometime after you drop me off, so how about a quickie in the back?" He waggled his eyebrows and offered her the flask.

Her grip on the steering wheel tightened up until her knuckles whitened under her tan skin. She wanted to tell him he had to be wrong, but he sounded so casually right...even about her dying. She was tempted to slap him, but instead she just took the flask and found herself considering his words, all of them.
Somehow she managed to take a quick swig and hand him back the flask without the SUV wavering on the road. The alcohol burned her mouth, but it wasn't any worse than the burning in her chest, the panic trying to claw it's way through her system. She glanced at the doctor, his attempt to get a backseat quickie would have made her laugh if this whole situation wasn't crazy.
Fear, what are you afraid of?
She knew, she knew exactly what she was afraid of. If death was an almost certainty she didn't want it to be the fear creatures that got her. It was easy for Cecil to detach himself it seemed, but she knew in her heart that if they got her she'd end up being killed by something she loved. That was a frightening thought.
She gave a soft laugh, a snort almost. This whole situation was one big frightening nightmare. Like something out of a horror movie...and the ones who always died first in horror movies were the ones who had sex. She wasn't exactly the classic blonde beauty that one decided to take for one last romp, but it wasn't like the doctor was spoiled for choice. Layla hadn't had sex in...wow it had been a while she'd been dedicated to getting this job and once she had it she hadn't risked it by entangling herself romantically with anyone else. If she had to die shouldn't it at least be on her own terms?
Finally after a drawn out moment of silence she glanced at him the alcohol made the words a little easier to say.
"I think...that probably wouldn't be the worst thing I could do. I just want you to promise me something, don't worry it's nothing that'll cost you your hide or even much time. I just...I don't want it to be one of them that...you know, gets me. So I'm coming with you to Lab B and if you consider me dead weight or a creature is gonna get me, just...shoot me with that thing..." She pointed at Codex and took a deep breath. "and make sure I die quick and easy instead of slowly eaten. Deal?"

"Yeah, no, that's not happening," The little man shrugged. "I 'aint going there for safety. And I don't kill Civies. At least on purpose, ahahaha." That manic edge was back to his voice, his eyes glued outside the vehicle. "Your death is your responsibility."

"Well then I guess that's out..." She huffed softly irritated by his laugh and creeped out as well.
"We're almost there..." She sped up eager to drop him off. Was she going to follow him in to Lab B? No, it was a restricted area anyway wasn't it? She'd just have to leave him and then split. Maybe go back to Monster Mountain and see if she couldn't get the creatures up there to settle down. Granted now she was afraid, somehow knowing they were made with fear and not imagination changed everything.

"My rune coding was perfect," Cecil muttered, attention returning out the window. "Someone touched something they shouldn't have. This isn't my fault. It was PERFECT."

Layla glanced at Cecil uneasily wondering what in the world he was talking about. Rune coding? Well if it wasn't his fault then who was to blame? She certainly would like to know if her life was being cut short in her prime who was responsible.
She pulled up in front of Lab B and unclicked her seatbelt glad that the ride had been uneventful.
"Well...here we are...I don't suppose you have any tips for me anything useful I should know about this...Fear?" She sighed and wondered where she would go now, follow Cecil like a fool or try and get off the island...which was so unlikely that she might as well lay down and die.

Cecil immediately jumped from the vehicle, but stopped when she spoke. He turned to lean in across the seat- "They are Fear. They feed on Fear. So don't be afraid. It's been nice, babe." He gave her a salute before the weird little man jumped out again to hurry toward the facility. There were so many employees- how many were dead? And it occurred to him as he fished out his pass-card, he didn't even remember her name. A pity. She was hot. [EXIT]

Layla sighed softly and watched Cecil with a frown debating if she should follow or not.
