The Mushroom
Chapter 8
William sat on the soft cushioned chair in the security office watching the cameras. He saw the insane man leave the two teens and flip off the lights. The security guard's chair was ridiculously comfy. He felt the chair slightly constricting him, but ignored it, thinking it was a massage function. He looked on the desk and found a wilting bonsai next to a thriving mushroom. He tilted his head puzzled. He saw movement in the monitor and quickly turned his head.
"Zachary help!" he heard Matilda yell. William thought he caught something in the reflection of the monitor and his back stiffened. The hair on the back of a neck shot up as he felt something bump the table. He put his feet flat on the ground and threw himself backward. The chair connected with the infected night guard. He flew backwards and Bill ran to the closet and flung it open. As the guard lunged, Bill threw himself to the side and the guard fell into the closet. Bill threw open the door and was greeted by an infected janitor who Bill punched and stole his mop.
Bill rushed in to the office and threw the door closed and locked it. He stuck the mop through the handles of the closet preventing the guard from getting in. He ran to the seat and checked everything. He checked to make sure both the doors were locked then got fully involved in watching the camera views. As he watched Zachary hide in the cabinet the man took down a camera from the wall. The cameras never stopped filming, so William saw the camera walking down the dark hallway. He continued walking but Bill's attention was distracted by Zachary leaving the cabinet. Matilda ran to him.
Bill turned back to the man's camera which showed Bill. Bill stood up and threw his chair back and the film did more. He turned behind him but the camera view was to the side of him. He turned to the left and saw the janitor walking past the small porthole. He looked the other way and saw the man staring through the window with the camera.
The man waved a keycard in front of the window mocking him. There was a click and the door opened. Bill picked up the bonsai and lobbed it at the man's head. The man caught the pot and smashed the clay pot letting the dirt fall to the ground. Bill picked up the mushroom releasing spores into the air. Bill breathed one in and dropped the mushroom. He tried to fight the spores off, but they went up to his brain and Bill started to foam from the mouth.
