Chapter 4 - Lie To Me

James went upstairs in the library, and saw an even more big library of books, many of which involved his father..

Outside the simulation,

"David, are we sure something will happen? Even with Max around?" Arnold Asked.

David looked at the monitor, "Something might be happening. Check it."

David points at Max, who is working on something, the cameras had static, making it difficult to see, and when Max was done, the static faded. As soon as he left.

"What did he do in that room?" Arnold asks.

Max slightly pulled the plug to the cameras in the room, causing static to occur. Then No Signal appeared for a few seconds, then went away.

He overlapped the camera with a taped on, Hard to remove image of the room, which was small enough to fit the camera lens. Giving Max an edge.

Inside the simulation, James looked at his wife, and said, "Do you want to check out the non-fiction section?"

Karen rushed over to the section, to reveal a book, not about his father, but the story of James's Life.

Trying to hide his true identity from, he took the book and told her, "Maybe another book, honey?"

Suspicious, Karen Asked, "Are you hiding something from me? You only act like this when you do? "

She points at the book James took from him.

"You seem very hesitant with that book specifically."

James, to change the subject, asked, "Why not check over by the children's side? it'd be great for our-" James is cut off by A woman in a hoodie, who revealed her face for a split second before glitching out.

"Hold on, who was that?" James asked.

"Who was what? I didn't see shit, and you're acting like shit." Karen asks.

James pointed at the place where he saw the person, which lead into the room she exited. Saying, "I saw someone standing here, she took off the top of her robe, I think it was, and she disappeared!"

Angrily, Karen said, "The fuck are you talking about? There is no other damn person except the few people here. I think you've been fucking with me, and all the other people in the library. You're seriously starting to piss me off. And I'm sick of it. So I'm going to say this one time, and one time only. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, YOU FUCKING CUNT."

Karen walks away angrily, while James walks into the room, only to be forcefully pushed out.

"Stay Out." Max said.

"There's someone behind this door, and you're going let me in there." James said.

"I SAID STAY OUT!" Max Yelled.

"You're fucking with my relationship, you've been fucking with my life, you've been fucking with every little thing I love, and I'm gonna get payback for what you been doing to me. And if you're gonna fucking run, go ahead, it's your fault that you're a pussy." James explained.

Max, furiously, Said, "Oh, I will run all right. You'll also be running from something too."

"You're talking shit, and I fucking hate it, I fucking hate this, and I FUCKING HATE YOU!" James said angrily.

"That's all you needed to say. Let's begin." Max sinisterly said.

She swings the door open and grabs James forcefully by his t-shirt.

"Max? I thought you were dead!" James said.

"Dead? Me? I'm not the one dying today, instead, you'll be the one running from your own fucking grave!" She takes out a really sharp knife, that can cut anybody with a swipe.

Panicking, James runs from Max.

"OH, now you're running. Oh, boo hoo. WHO'S THE ONE FUCKING RUNNING LIKE A PUSSY NOW?! WHO'S THE LITTLE BITCH THAT KILLED THEIR OWN FATHER TO IMPRESS A GIRL, WHO'S THE ONE CUNT WHO JUST PISSED OFF THE LOVE OF THEIR LIFE?" Max, enraged, said while chasing James with what could be described as the fastest speed known to man. Eventually knocking down James with a very strong punch. Grabbing him by the neck.

"Get out of my simulation, and fuck off with the tough guy attitude." Max then slices the man's throat, killing him.

Max takes out his checklist, and draws an X on James.

"One pussy down, more time to spare. But I'm not done yet."

Max then runs to another room.

"James? Where are you? I-i'm sorry if I went a little hard on you." Karen shakily said.

Max then rushes to Karen.

"Want me to tell you something that James told me HONESTLY?" Max asks.

"W-What? That He's alright?" Karen asks.

"No, in fact, it's the opposite, he's fucking dead, and since I told you this info, you have to go down with him." Max said.

Karen ran, But Max Grabbed her by the neck after blasting through.

"Before I kill you, though, you want to hear some honestly about his father?" Max asked.

"What? What about his father?" Karen asked.

"He killed him." Max stabs Karen in the head, just seconds after, she died.

Outside the simulation,

"I think this is why we shouldn't have bring Max along with. But on the flipside, at least its interesting..." David said.

They turned down the simulation and the two were non responsive.

"I think the affects of the simulation, affect our real subjects as well." Arnold Said.

"So, he genuinely killed them... shit..."

David said.

"Guess we should call it a day, then." David said.

"I guess. We'll come back in a few days and figure something out." Arnold Said as they left the building. shutting all lights down and calling it a day.
