His thoughts were like a shower of red-hot glowing needles in his head, an almost unbearable pain. He did his utmost to remain calm, to think clearly. The worst thing was fear. The fear that Jim would unleash his dogs and hunt him down, like the terrified beast of prey he had become. All through that long night of November 18, when he had run until he was exhausted and had hidden among the decomposing roots of a fallen tree, he imagined that he could hear them closing in.

Waiting there, surrounded of night noises and wrapped with the disgusting fermentation smell had got slept. He was worn out, tirednesswon that battle. Jim Starts dreaming with a white and calm room, with white and clean sheets, ... one hour later Jim felt a ligth noise near his ear. Is was warm whisper but he was nearly awake and he coudn´t understand anything.
Then, Jim opened his eyes, nobody was there... He thought: " It´s a bad dream". And he woke up. Steve had already woken up, because of it was a cold morning, and had come back to home. He was very nervous. Eventually, he decided to put some clothes into a bag, he known that he had must escape as soon as possible, because Jim wouldn´t take a long time in going to look for him. But before, he had must to hide what he had caught from his house
The letter that proved they were involved in the experiment with human beings in a so secret laboratory that even the president was unaware of this fact. Then, he thought it could be vital to send a copy to his friend Alan, who worked in the New York Tribune. This could help him to save his life.
Although Steve was decided to tell all the truth about those experiments, he had to be prudent, sending the letter to Alan could be the most dangerous action he had to make in his life. He tried to plan his leap in the dark but there was not enough time for it, Jim was approaching to him minute by minute, so he picked up his mobile phone from his pocket and started to dial Alan’s office number.
After three ring tones, Alan answered his call. His voice wasn´t surprised at all, it was calm and even happy by hearing from him. However, Steve's voice seemed broken while he pronounced: "We´ve to talk". What Steve could never have imagined was the Alan's answer: "I know everything. I' ve just talked to Jim".
Steve looked around the place while in his mind there was only a louder and louder thought: "I´m a dead man"
Suddenly, Steve felt dizzy and he passed out. When he got over he was lying down in a couch. He didn't understand anything and he started to look around the small room in order to find out something. However he stopped once he realized how difficult it was go out of there alive.

His head… the unbearable pain again….Everything was spinning. Steve could not understand how he had arrived at this place, something was really wrong, he was feeling a terrible distress. Where was the door of this strange room? Scared, he rushed to inspect the walls… Nothing! The increasing fear paralyzed his legs and he fell down. This was a nightmare, they had set a trap for him and the beast of prey was caught.
After two hours of desperate scrutiny in every single inch of the room, he finally understood there wasn´t any possible way out. It was then when Steve realized he was well captured and locked safe in some kind of room which felt like a tiny and cold cell. Unexpectedly, a rushing shiver went through all his body like a thunder in the worst of storms; someone was approaching the cell at a high but firm pace. The steps were getting closer and closer but they seemed to never reach the silence of his empty room.
Ana Said,
Suddenly Steve stopped listening to the steps. He couldn´t hear anything,just his heart. He felt weak and sick. He couldn´t almost breath. I wish it was a nightmare and I could wake up. Now somebody is knocking behind the wall. Can anybody hear me? He recognized the Alan´s voice...
