For a long moment the darkness is silent, then there is a muted click, like an old cassette player, followed by a long whirring rasp that is made only more unsettling by the sudden stop-whine tape end sound co-mingled with an almost sexual deep grunt of satisfaction. Then there is another click in the dark, and Robert's voice, sounding hollow and tinny starts to play loudly, with the slow hiss of a tape player and popping crackles like the source was moving while recording.<br/><br/>"What're you doing here, kid?  Shouldn't you be in school?"<br/>"What's wrong?"<br/>"I don't know where we are... It will be okay, I promise.  We'll figure it out..."<br/>"I'll see if we can get a dispatch...have you tried the door?"<br/>"There's no reception...wherever we are we won't be getting help from someone we have to call..."<br/>"What happened?  Can I see?"<br/>"We're gonna be okay."<br/>"Tell me what you remember?  Maybe we can figure something out...a way to get out..."<br/>"Well, that's not so bad..."<br/>"A-a bedroom...yes...maybe this way then."<br/><br/>At the end of the last word it cuts off with a harsh click and a small red LED light blinks on in one corner and then two more at different levels in the other corner. A female voice...from the two light corner says in a sultry, bedroom voice. "Do you think we need more light, hun?"<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=21822.msg888067#msg888067">Quote from: coglio001 on 20-10-2008, 18:42:19</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Rene stood at the darkened threshold, as though frozen in place. She strained to look into the room, but she couldn't see through the gloom.<br/><br/>"Robert?" she whispered.<br/><br/>Rene pushed the door open wider, hoping to admit more light into the room. Her heart thumped in her chest and she was loathe to take a step into the room.<br/><br/>"Robert?" she whispered again, and it sounded like a whimper to her own ears. Rene was surprised to find that she was crying softly.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
