Eeeee! Eeeeeee! Eeeeeee!
Men and women in white hazmat suits rushed through the usually empty hallways. The floor shook with the weight off all the feet and frantic screams echoed off the walls. Andre fell in the crowd, everything was chaos, yet he didn't know what was going on. Andre was new, so he hadn't learned what all the alarm systems meant yet. All he knew was that there was trouble. He stumbled to his feet, pulling himself up by multiple people's long lab coats.
"What's happening!?" he shouted aloud to no one in particular. An African-American woman turned to him.
"Code L3!" she yelled back, then disappeared into the crown of people.
'What does all this mean?' Andre thought to himself, falling down again. At this point, the halls were pure chaos, everyone trying to escape the compound. This time, a man helped him up. Andre grabbed his hand and looked up, still sprawled out on the ground. This man was different from the other people. He wore athletic looking clothes, with boots that his tight pants were tucked into. On his head, he wore a helmet with a clear visor. Multiple symbols and words flickered on and off of the screen of it, none of them lasting for more then a second.
"Thanks," Andre grunted, pulling himself up, and dusting off his pants, "Can you tell me what the heck is happening right now?" The officer turned away, but then turned back to him.
"Are you willing to help us?" He asked in a deep voice. Andre didn't even think before answering. He just wanted to know what was going on.
"Sure," he replied to the officer. The man turned around, and Andre had to jog to keep up with him. "Hey, can you tell me what's going on? You said you would." The man turned to him.
"It's a code L3, which means there was a leak in a very bad place," The man said, then continued walking.
"Where, and what can the waste do?" Andre pressed on. The man stopped this time and turned to Andre.
"The waste can genetically mutate things to grow larger or turn savage,"
"So? Where did it go?" Andre asked. The man replied in one sentence that sent terror down Andre's spine.
"The Hippo enclosure."
