Theo didn't try. Since he was too conspicuous in his monster form, he could be caught immediately.

Ethan, who has watched a lot of spy movies in the past, has tried various ways to escape. But in any case, he was caught.

After that, Tord began to hold the children in an iron grip, like Toby, and watched them closely. The children did not like it, but they understood that if they tried to escape again, they would be tortured and tortured.

One day they put a girl, the same age as they are.

- Well, how did you get here? - Theo asked indifferently. The girl was silent.

- Could you at least tell me your name? - Ethan asked. The girl turned. Her skin was tanned, her dark hair was disheveled with bleached ends, and her dark green eyes were full of anger.

- I'm Penny. - she said softly and gloomily.

- How did you get here? - Max asked her.

- I ended up here because of Toby…- Penny sighed sadly at the mention of Toby.

- Were you kidnapped too? - Theo asked.

- Kidnapped? - Penny was surprised. - No, my parents are soldiers of the Red Army.

- What are their names? - Ethan asked.

- Father's name is Patryk, and mother's name is Brianna. My father sent me here, my mother does not know about ethos, but I think they will quarrel because of this ...

- So you are one of the children of the elite of the red army ... - Theo thought. - Well, how do you like your Red Leader? Do you like to be devoted? - he asked her in a rather impertinent way. The girl looked at him sternly.

- My allegiance is not to this scoundrel. I'm only loyal to Toby, and only to him. - she said coldly.

As it turned out, Toby was a friend to Penny, and almost the closest. Her love for him overcame her fear of the current Red Leader, and she was loyal only to Toby, the Red Prince and heir to the Red Army. Penny often told the children about this, and unlike them, she often made escapes, but only to collect information, and unlike them, she was never caught.

- How do you do it? - Ethan asked.

- I just know the map of this laboratory well. - Penny took out the plan of the lab. - There are many secret passages, and probably only I know about it. Just, Ethan, don't tell anyone about this. If one of you let it slip, the Leader will make it so that I can no longer escape, and in the future you will not be able to escape. - Penny hid it in the wall, and at that moment Theo and Max were brought in, who this time were on experiments.

- Everything is as usual? - Ethan asked. Max whimpered and Theo nodded. Ethan didn't start the conversation. He just didn't know what to talk about. As are the others in this room.

But one sortie Penny ended with not very good consequences.

She was walking along the corridor of the laboratory, where there were all sorts of monsters, when she suddenly heard:

- You also greatly influenced my son, Annya. So... You'll have to be killed soon.

Those words made Penny go dark with rage.

- Son of a bitch...

Penny knew what it was like to be without a mother. She saw how often they lied to him, but she knew that Toby's nanny, Beth, did not want to do this. Tord's footsteps brought her out of her thoughts, and Penny instantly went back on her way.

The children have returned from the torture chamber. Penny sat with her back to them.

- Well, did you manage to find out something? - Ethan sat down next to her. Penny turned her head to him

- This man will destroy him... He has been doing this for almost five years... And he wants to plunge a knife into his heart... This will kill Toby...- she said softly..

Ethan understood everything at once, and did not talk about it.

- And what happened? - Max asked. Theo told him everything, as he understood.

- The Red Leader wants to kill Toby's mom.

And as soon as Tord visited the children again, Max rushed to the glass and yelled:

- Don't you dare touch Toby's mom! She didn't do anything!

Tord looked at Max.

-How do you know?- he asked in confusion.

- She told us everything. - Max pointed to Penny. Tord darkened.

- Penelope. - He opened doors for her. - forward to the exit.

The girl did not argue and went out.

- I'm doing this for Toby- she screamed, but a punch to the face silenced her.

- For Toby. Then listen here. As soon as my soldiers find Toby, I will forbid him to communicate with you and with friends. You don't deserve him. And Toby doesn't deserve to be loved, and neither does his mother.

After listening to a tirade and going through some torture, Penny was sent back.

- Now things will get even worse for us...- Ethan said as he sat down next to Penny.

- Yes... But we can still try to escape.

Together they began to develop their escape plan.
