*Lucy nodded her head, but left Faith's grip and walked away.*
Faith didn't stop Lucy and upon Sal's advice tried to get rest.

Damn it, the stupid thing stopped recording. But... *Maddy hesitated and went silent before continuing* Jesus, I cant remember what I wanted to say. Like, it just seems like I'm forgetting some things about my past. And it's not like i can figure out what may or may not be important to you guys. Like, I'm not sure if saying I won my 5th grade talent show playing guitar would be important or not. *Maddy then laughed* Its funny though. What you remember I mean. Like, right now- *Maddy began to laugh as a single tear began to fall from her eye* I'm struggling to picture my parents faces but I can remember my 12th grade chemistry teachers name was Mr. Raggins. *Maddy began to laugh some more as she spoke* This one time, he came into class with this big ass mug of coffee or something and all class long we were trying to throw crap into it. And this one kid, Randy Fishers threw a big ol' freaking eraser into it and got coffee all over some tests we just did
*Lucy began to laugh along with Maddy. At this moment, Maddy didn't look sick. She looked like her old, cheerful self. But after a few seconds, Maddy's laughing began to became quieter as she thought of something else and she began to look unwell again.* That was the last time I saw that kid, he- well, jesus, he got into a car accident the next day and umm- *Maddy hesitated as she began to remember some things* Christ, that was just about a week before the outbreak began *Maddy chuckled and leaned back into her chair* God, that feels so long ago now.. *Lucy watched as Maddy began to cough vigorously into her arm and the video stopped*
"Money's dead!"
Lucy's eyes widened in shock. "What?!"
The man continued, "rumors among the ranks are that he shot himself." The man then looked at Lucy. "But you and I know better. Benton shot him.. all because of some girl.."
Coraline tilted her head to the side in concern at Lucy's sudden staring at herself and Eve.

Faith had gone outside for some air, which after getting shot didn't seem like the best idea, but she hated staying in one place. her room had felt so cramped and small just like her cell-
Something caught her eye a short distance away. Was that a . . .a wolf? A white wolf? It couldn't be. . .Maddy had been killed by MT, she saw it herself, felt the life drain out of her as she died. . . and yet Faith still felt inclined to follow this wolf. Straightening herself up she started to follow it when she felt a burst of pain from where she got shot followed by a sudden feeling of dizziness.
Slipping to her knees she watched as moments of her life flashed before her: Her adoptive mothers taking her in, her trapped in Money's cell for the "experiment," bringing Hope into the world, Maddy dying in her arms. Then she saw Maddy, healthy and calm sitting in a chair playing her guitar. Suddenly Maddy looked at her and dropped it, quickly making her way to her-
"Faith! Can you hear me?"
Faith flinched. It was Maddy, but the voice was wrong. It was only after several moments of blinking did the illusion of Maddy shift into Salvadore. Faith relaxed.
"Faith, are you okay?" Salvadore's eyes were widened in worry.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I bit dizzy but it's gone now." Faith lied as she allowed Salvadore to help her up.
*Back at Bentons base, the voice on the intercom spoke out, waking up Agent 8.* Agent 8, report to target room immediately *Agent 8 stood up but didn't see Ripley, causing her to be slightly concerned as she walked into the hallway towards the training room. Every day, Benton had made her kill people and everyday, she felt less and less like herself. Once she entered the room, she saw Benton once again, who stood waiting for her*
Lucky looked up at him, she was tired and every time she killed someone she felt like a part of her was dying with them.

Salvadore pulled out the map again. "We can still make our way, the tunnels will lead us to the city, and to Benton."
