They were surprised to see that they had been led into a run-down recording studio. First a film studio… and now this? The studio itself was fairly bleak. There were four small booths lining one wall, with microphones ripped from the ceiling, leaving them as small glass rooms. The rest of the area was pretty empty space, besides a clock on the wall (which showed that it was 9 in the morning), and a round table in the center, with 10 bottles of water and 10 bags of popcorn on it. But the main centerpiece that captured everyone’s attention… In the middle of the table, there was an outstretched, severed hand. It was Caucasian, and the nails were painted a baby blue. Inside the hand were several slips of paper. “This challenge is simple. There are five small keys hidden around the building, which you will be led to by a series of clues. With the partner you chose yesterday, grab a slip of paper from the table with your first clue and be the first to find a key before coming back to this room.” The explained. “Oh. And you guys get snacks today. I was lying yesterday. Split up the food as you please, though there’s enough for half of you to eat sufficient food and half of you to drink sufficient water.” They instructed. “Be quick. If you find a key, you’ll reap positive rewards.” They added. The second kidnapper then gave them all a nod, slipping out of the room and leaving them to their lonesome. “… And let the hunt begin.” —————————————————————————
