You examine the phone for a few minutes and wonder out loud, "I really just need to find out what to do next. I wonder if there's an app. for that." As if on cue, the phone scrolls to and opens the phone directory, highlights the number for "Studio - Main," and dials. You hear the line connect, and hear a series of beeps, but no voice.
"Hello? Hello, is someone there?" you say into the phone.
You hear a digitized voice respond, "Kevin?"
You: "Yes. Yes, it's me. I got this phone from the clerk in the tower."
Computer: "Then you've made it farther than I thought. I honestly didn't think you would be able to evade the guards this long."
You pause for a moment, and then: "About that... I got into a fight. And I killed one of the guards. And the doctor as well. I didn't mean to, but I--I didn't really have a choice."
Computer: "This is unexpected, but that explains all the activity. Look, you are going to have to hurry. Take the CEO's access card. He keeps it in his top desk drawer. He should not be in, but be careful. He may not look like much, and he would not normally be a match for you if you can take out a guard. But he is usually armed. You need the card to access the penthouse. That is where the silent man is. Kill him and kill him quickly. Remember--he is dangerous if he talks. Do not let him speak to you. Just kill him and then call me for further instructions."
You: "But what if I don't want to kill him? I don't want to kill anyone else. I want this classic nightmare to end so I can get out of here."
Computer, sounding agitated: "As I told you, you don't get to make the rules. I do. You do what I say and maybe you get to go home when I say you do. You have no choice in the matter."
You: "That's not what the old man said."
Computer, after a pause: "What old man?"
You: "There was an old man in one of the prison cells. He said I have a choice to make and that I should choose carefully. Do you know what he meant?"
Computer: "No. And you should not have gone there. It is too dangerous. Now stop arguing with me and do what you are told. Your highest priority is to kill the silent man. Until you do, we have nothing more to talk about. Call me for further instructions once he is dead." The line disconnects.
You walk to the CEO's office. The huge, dark wood doors are locked. You try the key and they open. As you enter, you see a man in a suit behind a heavy oak desk staring out the open window. He quickly spins around, a look of terror on his face and points the gun he is holding in his hand at you. "You! You made it in here."
You put up your hands and answer: "Look, take it easy. I just need something from you and I'll be on my way."
CEO, as he climbs up onto the window sill: "Oh, I think I can figure out what you want. Who am I kidding? If you could take out my guards so easily, this obviously isn't going to protect me. I know he sent you. I guess my time is finally up." He raises the gun and pulls the trigger.
"No, wait!" you shout. But you are too late. His body goes limp as he fires a shot through his head. His body tumbles out the window, and the gun along with it. You stand there stunned for a second, but then gather yourself and begin searching the desk. You find the CEO's access card as well as a strange looking pair of rose-colored sunglasses. You don't believe you'll wear rose colored glasses, but you take them anyway, wondering what they could possibly be used for.
