Trager finds a way to somehow unlock the main doors because a loud clicking sound came from them. Eddie, Arthur, and me both look towards it in response, waiting anxiously as if something might come through them now. The group reconvenes, suggesting we all escape together.

I look at Trager, he has a pleasant look on his deformed face. I said, “Rick, are you really leaving here? I thought you wanted to keep working on stuff?"

He fiddles with his hand, “Eh, sweetheart, I've really thought about it, and I've decided to follow you. Food is running very scarce, I will have better luck abandoning my job here and starting fresh."

Eddie glared at him when he called me sweetheart with a flame in his eyes he is trying so hard to suppress. The world outside, as harsh and unforgiving as it is, will always be better than being trapped here, alone and suffering, a building made off of inhumane treatment of the mentally ill, secret government projects, and capitalism.

We are ready to get out.

Exhausted, I cling to Eddie's large figure as the group cautiously starts to walk towards the now unlocked front doors of Mount Massive Asylum. The sunrise shines brightly through the windows and onto our faces.

Eddie looks at me tenderly, sun beaming off of his scarred face and whispers, “I am devoted to you, darling. Whatever happens next, I am going to give you a new life and take care of you and our little one."

The twinkle of sunlight in his eyes and his soft words bring me to tears. He grips my hand hard. As we make closer to the exit, we tense up, and Arthur opens the doors to freedom. The world I knew enlightens me like a high beam. The world Eddie and Arthur have known, I wish I knew what they were thinking, finally being free of their prison. Eddie has a fit of laughter, covering his face like he is embarrassed for having it. Arthur drops to his knees and feels the ground with his fingertips.

Trager stretches his shoulders and exclaims, “Who's ready to make it for the next town?"

Arthur cried, “Me! Me! Me!"

It appears like the rescue team got up and left and did not take care of themselves, leaving track marks of their massive tanks everywhere. I am glad in a way that they didn't find us. If they did, I would have never seen my lover again. I begin to think of my family, I am probably assumed dead at this point. I will make contact with them as soon as me and Eddie are settled, and I get Eddie some new clothes so he isn't as easily recognized in the public, after all, he is a serial killer. I don't know where I will start with the other two. I am the most regular looking out of all these guys. We start down the slight hill towards the gated exit, looking at our world around us like it is brand new. As we walk we notice a parked jeep with no owner to claim it.

“Wonder what happened to him…" I said.

“Heh, yeah." Trager says.

“So," I start, “Any of y'all know how to drive?"

Eddie smirks, “It has been a long time, but I can drive. You aren't in a good condition to do the work, darling, I will handle this."

Everyone loads into the car, Eddie in the driver's seat who barely seems to fit from his height and size, me next to him in the passenger, and Trager and Arthur in the back. Trager looks eager as ever to get the fuck out of here. I set my purse in the space between our seats.

Eddie starts the engine, hands on the wheel, he looks at me and towards the guys in the backseats, “I recommend holding on, I used to drive back in the days, I might be a little rusty…"

I hold my seat belt tight, not that I don't trust him in driving, but…

“Okay, here we go…" Eddie says nervously as he puts some weight on the pedal. He spins the steering wheel so we can turn around and get out the gates, nearly hitting the walls and fence, but he successfully turned and sped through. Everyone holds on tight, Trager surprised to be in a bumpy car for the first time in years. The car speeds down the mountain road, slowing down and going faster erratically because his weight on the pedal has not yet come back to him. The car doesn't stay in a straight line either, but it isn't as bad as a drunk driver.

Trager starts laughing, “Damn, I wish it had a sunroof! And hey, can you put on some music?'

I select the radio button and turn it up, “Everybody Dance Now" plays loudly.

Trager rolls down his windows and sticks his head out and starts yelling out of joy. The road ahead is thankfully clear, with no sign of anyone else on the road with us, that was something I was worried about, being spotted leaving and possibly questioned.

Arthur does the same as Trager and he starts shouting too, a smile wide across his face.

“You okay, Eddie?" I ask, putting my hand on his forearm.

“Yes, darling, I know I can drive us safely off this mountain."

In some pain still from the walrider, I open my purse and take out my pen once more. Eddie doesn't see as he is focused on driving, but the backseat passengers notice. I take a hit and blow it out my window, and as I do, Trager lights up even more. Arthur is confused as to what I just did and seems to be interested.

I turn and look back at the guys, “Do you wanna take a hit?"

Trager takes the pen from me quickly, “Don't mind if I do!" Trager looks up and inhales the devils lettuce, and it appears he already knows how to use a cart…

He exhales and the smoke fills the car and it slowly leaks out the open windows.

“W-what the hell is that?" Eddie asks, still can't look back to see what is going on but he can smell it.

Trager replies, “I'd give you some buddy, but you're the designated driver, no silly pen for you! Hahahahaaha.."

He hands the pen to Arthur and shows him how to use it, his eyes wide. Arthur coughs as he tries it for the first time, me and Trager giggle. Eventually, Arthur does it correctly, and without thinking he blows the smoke onto Eddie's head.

“The smoke smells weird, is that even safe…" Eddie says, concentrating on not crashing the vehicle.

“This-" exclaims Rick, stealing the cart back and taking another hit, “Is to our freedom! WOOOOOH!"

Arthur starts laughing so hard his stomach hurts. It's kicking in real hard now.

“Yeah, our new life!!!" I say, putting my head on Eddie's shoulder.

“Darling, what are they smoking? I haven't had a cigarette in years."

“Ohhh… well, it is like a cigarette but way better."

“Could I try some, dear, if you don't mind?"

“It might make it hard to drive, as soon as we find a place to stay you can have some, babe."

“Interesting."

A flash of light crosses the sky like an explosion, making it hard to see for a moment, and then it's gone. It fucked up the radio for a second.

“What in the world was that?!" Eddie yells.

“Looks like Murkoff is back in business…" Trager says.

Arthur is so out of it he didn't even realize the flash of light in the sky, he is just sitting to himself laughing.

“Glad we are outta there!" I said.

Eddie speeds up, the car almost drifting into the bush on each side of the road… We reach a more downward road, finally we are going to be leaving the mountain for good. I look out the window, watching all the trees and clouds pass by. I am a little stoned, which I think I deserve. I can't believe all of this has happened to me. I kinda don't believe it, but at the same time, I am in a speeding car with 2 serial killers, a variant, and me. I hope what I am experiencing isn't a phantom pregnancy, because if it is, that would really let Eddie down, and even have a slight chance of possibly being angry with me for not conceiving a baby with him yet. Arthur is moving around in the backseat enjoying his high.

“Eddieeeeee…I'm hungry…" whined Arthur.

“Me too, buddy. Drive us to get us some real fucking food!" Exclaimed Rick.

Eddie answered, “I don't know where anything is, but I am also pretty hungry myself, darling, you need some real food. Can you find a map and see if there is somewhere nearby?"

I dig through compartments of the stolen jeep, and eventually I find a map that barely helps us, but it is all we got. I hand Eddie the map and he tries to make sense of it. We drive for another 20ish minutes, and we have now reached the ground, a long road full of hotels and restaurants. Now to decide where we want to go. We stop at the end of the road that leads to Mount Massive Asylum and back into the real world.

“I WANNA GO TO WENDY'S!" Arthur screams.

“What is Wendy's?" Eddie says, being interrupted by Trager,

“Nah buddy, Five Guys is the best, let's go there."

I voted for Arby's. From a distance, we spot one far down on the right side of the road leading left.

Eddie appeared nervous again as seeing other drivers on the road intimidated him. We all decided on Arby's, and Eddie is biased to where we go because he goes wherever I go like a puppy dog. The roadway wasn't very trafficked, but it wasn't bare either. We turn up the music once more as Eddie speeds to get on the other side of the road, and in doing so, was on the wrong side of traffic.

“Uh Eddie-" I said…

BEEP BEEP cars are of course honking at us. He swerves back into the right lane pretty violently, sending Arthur nearly landing on Trager's lap.

“No homo, buddy." Said Trager, pushing the greening out Arthur off of him.

Arthur is laughing uncontrollably, but also is freaking out a little over the car ride. I start to laugh among them too, high and in shock that we were literally on the wrong side of the road and in a car driven by no one other than Eddie Gluskin. Eddie's face is wide eyed, a little bit of fear in them for the first time in ages that he could have killed all of us. Cars around us on the road try to get away from us, which is good, I don't want any more attention. Rick throws his head out the window again and screams “WOOOOOO!!! WHERE THE COKE AT!!!"

The Arby's sign approaches closer, and Eddie stops in the middle of the road to turn into the parking lot, cars beeping at him again.

“Lord…I'm so sorry darling, it has been a while since I have done this…" He says, as he pulls into a parking spot clearly crooked.

Arthur in an instant unbuckles himself and leaps out of the car, “ARBY'S!"

Rick got out slowly, “Oh fuck yeah. Man, this is gonna taste so fucking good."

Me and my groom look at each other. “Ready darling?" I say yes. He gets out from his side and comes around to open my door for me and grabs my hand. The four of us stand outside the Arby's in a line, looking at each other as if we don't believe our eyes. Here we go. I walk into the Arby's first, expecting everyone to start staring at us because of our appearances. Me, hair roughed up, mascara stained on my undereyes, tattered clothes, Eddie's face and his stained suit, Richard for being literally butt naked besides an apron, and Arthur for looking almost the most fucked up out of all us. The workers immediately notice us and their faces turn pale. The customers inside eating also can't help but stare. It appears to be dinner time, which is good, now we have a grounded idea of what time it is. Eddie and I walk up to the cashier, Arthur and Trager eyeing up the menu behind us. Gluskin being 6'10'' towers over everyone working there.

“Uhhh…w-what would you like to order…?" The cashier says, almost a whisper. I told Eddie in the car that I would recommend a beef and cheese sandwich, so he ordered 3 of them, 2 for him, 1 for me, and the other two guys told the cashier what they wanted excitedly. “You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive plays loudly on the speakers, Trager is nodding his head to the beat, and Arthur is tweakin' out walking around the dining room. For payment, they just handed us our food, as if they knew the hell we just came out of.

We all sit down at a booth, A tray in front of each of us with steaming fresh food on it, something we haven't had in ages. I sit next to Eddie and he puts his arm around me. Trager digs into his dinner and Arthur scarfs his down like a dog with no gag reflex. Eddie picks up his first sandwich and smells it and smiles.

“Finally, some real fucking food." Eddie said. We chit chat as we eat, enjoying the warm meal and cold drinks. The customers around us eventually left without a word, freaked out by our presence. I take a while to finish my sandwich, but Eddie is already on his second one, some cheese sauce left on his lower lip. Trager and Arthur seem to really be getting along well, cackling jokes at each other. 10 minutes pass yet again and Eddie is still hungry. Of course to feed a body like his it requires a lot of energy to function and repair. He tells them to make another sandwich for him, he doesn't even have to leave his table, they do as he said, fearing for their safety. Someone brings another over cautiously and as soon as the tray hits the table they scurry off. I smile watching them leave, thinking of how scared everyone is of us. No longer do people look down on me, but they fear me. They fear what I've become and the untamed beast I keep behind me, broken free of his chains, vicious in his pursuit to continue loving me no matter what it takes. Eddie is a ticking time bomb, he can easily kill all of us with his strength and anyone who challenges us. The sky has become darker, the sun has just set on this cloudless night, we have pretty much claimed the restaurant as ours now.

Eddie feels full enough but is still eating his third sandwich regardless of his body telling him to stop. He can't because he hasn't tasted anything as good as this in years (besides me). He swallows the last bits of it and sighs.

I hold his arm, “Woah, how did that all taste?"

“I like this so-called Arby's…it is much better than the meat from Frank…"

“Yeah, what even was that stuff anyway?"

“Not exactly sure, but either way darling, I had to keep you alive somehow." He kisses me, and I steal the leftover cheese from his lip. Arthur gets up to play around with the soda dispensers. No one cares to stop him.

I go to grab my purse from between me and Eddie, but my hand brushes against his visibly full belly… I blush, hoping he didn't notice that…

He did, looking at my face go red. He smirks. He stretches his arms up behind his head, seemingly on purpose so I could look at him better. He notices my eyes locked on his cute and stuffed midriff. Oh god, I'm embarrassed…

[queue the writers barely disguised fetish]

He whispers “Come here." in my ear, as he gets up. He tells the guys we will be right back. Oh no. Why did I let my weird kink slip…did he even notice? He did, right?
