"There seems to be a misunderstanding. We are not here to hurt you or collect your dept. Let me remind you that we are here yo give you a chance-"

"A chance?! We play some kids games and you shoot us. You want me to choose that? Thats some chance!" Said someone in the crowd, cutting off Boss.

"We may be in dept sir but that doesn't justify killing us all!"

"This is just a game."

Then there was that annoying murmuring again.

"Killing everyone out there was a game to you huh!?"

"They were simply eliminated for breaking the rules of the game. If you just follow the rules, you can leave this place safely with the prize money we promised."

"Just keep you damv money. I dont care! Let me just go home. Thats all I want."

Everyone began to chatter but I couldn't make out what they were saying.

"Let us leave. Let us go!"

"Consent form clause 1- A player is not allowed to stop playing."

"Come on! You think you'll get away with this, huh? The police will come they will bust in here any minute now. They will be here since we all disappeared!"

"yeah! And i bet they have everybody's phone tracked here already. Look at all tour hostages. Youre doomed if you dont let us go!"

"Were all dead!" A woman shouted. The a loud gun shot sounded. We all ducked down and held out heads in our hand to try to avoid getting shot. The guards that were stood behind Boss cocked their guns and aimed towards us.

"Consent form clause 2. A player who refuses to play will be eliminated," explained Boss as he still stared at us and signalled to the others to lower their guns.

"So if we refuse to play, we die. But if we play, we might end up dead anyways," I thought as someone spoke up.

"Consent form clause 3. If all the players agreed to stop playing, the games are allowed to end, or am i wrong?" Said San-woo. I had picked up his name from esse dropping on 456s conversation with him. I looked at the guards and saw that they were all either staring at me or exchanging quick glances of me whenever they thought that Boss wasn't looking. This made me blush and I swear I could all wave slightly at me. Waving back, they tilted his head to the side slightly as if they were all very happy and gave me a small hidden thumbs up each so that only I could see. They all had a circle on their masks. I smiled and turned my attention back to Boss.

"You are correct."

"So lets vote on ending this. If the majority wishes to leave this place, then everyone gets to go home right?"

"All right, as you wish. We will take a vote to decide on the termination of the game."

The guards who was staring at me before, tensed at what Boss was saying and looked down. Were they-sad? Why would they be sad? AGAIN, people stared to mutter.

"Before we vote, let me announce the prize money for the game ad previously promised." Boss pulls out a small remote from his pocket and pressed a button and

a loud beep fills the room making the ceiling begins to rumble. I lifted my head to look at the ceiling when a digital trilling noice sounded as a giant glads piggy bank emerged from it. A clear gladd tube positioned itself above the whole in the top and money began to fall into it.
