it was Billy's first day on the job the veteran 70 smiled warmly as he shuffled through the aisles arranging the new stocks suddenly a customer in a crisp suit approaching the checkout distracted him excuse me can you please tell me how much this toy costs the man asked the manager pointing to a box marked limited edition I left my glasses in the office so I can't see clearly of course it's $800 sir said the manager Billy was stunned when he heard that he had just arranged the toys in the section and he was sure it
cost only $200 when he double- checked the price he realized he was right I'm sorry sir but I think there's been a mistake Billy approached the manager with concern the toy costs only $200 not $800 the manager frowned and stared daggers at Billy he's new here and still learning the r the manager told the customer the toy costs $800 sir it's from a limited edition collection Billy realized his manager was trying to deceive the customer while he couldn't oppose him openly he couldn't let an innocent customer pay extra too so he told the customer that
the manager must have confused the prices dealing with a lot of items daily and that did not sit well with the manager is this the Gratitude you show me for giving you a job when nobody did I can't believe you undermined me in front of our customers on your first day on the job get out you're fired the realization of what Billy had done going against his manager now dawned on him he couldn't afford to lose this job because his wife needed urgent treatment so he pleaded with the manager not to fire him but all
his pleas fell on deaf ears out before I have to call the guards and have you thrown out the manager hissed pointing to the exit a heartbroken Billy left the store he had no idea what to do next and how he would pay for his wife's treatment he trotted across the streets trying his luck at stores and coffee shops with we are hiring sign boards but fate didn't favor Billy however he held his hopes high that he would soon find something the following day Billy casually approached his mailbox to see if he'd gotten any mail
his curiosity was peaked when he pulled out a thick brown envelope velope he wondered who sent it but there was no return address on the envelope just the words to Billy scribbled and bold Billy carefully tore open the flap and his eyes widened in horror when he casually peaked inside a thick wat of cash was stashed inside is this even real he gasped quietly he looked inside again and noticed there was a note the $70,000 is for your wife's treatment and it's all yours Billy it said but it's just a part of what you can
actually get you have the golden chance to get $500,000 more come to the park tonight at 12 sharp alone Billy hurried home with the money and counted it it was indeed a whopping $770,000 he immediately called his wife's doctor he finally had the money for her organ transplant surgery but unpleasant news awaited him the market prices went up in the last few weeks Billy said the doctor and you'll need another $30,000 we don't have much time I wish I could do something to help you but I'm sorry Billy slumped onto the couch time was running
out and he knew he didn't have a choice except to accept the invitation he had received that night Billy visited the deserted Park everything was eerily quiet and he couldn't see a soul in close sight until a set of blinding headlights sliced through the darkness startling from behind but before he could turn around to figure out what happened a shadowy figure in a hoodie and mask emerged from behind and thrust a black sack bag over his head let me go hey Billy screamed trying to break free but his cries went unheard two hands grabbed his
arms and shoved him into a van he heard the engine roaring to life and knew they were taking him somewhere but Billy didn't dare to speak when he felt something like a weapon near his hip he was wedged between two men who remained quiet after what seemed like an eternity the vehicle stopped and he was led into an abandoned building as the bag around his head was untied and removed Billy's Vision slowly adjusted to the surroundings and he realized it was an old factory of some kind the men departed and the door closed Billy looked
around and his eyes widened in astonishment as he took in the sight before him nine people were standing in the room 10 neatly arranged beds lined one wall each with an identical black uniform placed on top suddenly a loud Grim voice resonated through the speaker mounted on the wall you all find yourself in a dire situation and need money our goal is to see the lengths you're willing to go for it put on your uniforms and be ready the first task begins soon Billy's mind raced he knew he couldn't leave because the door was locked
and there were no wind Windows he looked at his fellow captives and saw the same fear and confusion in their eyes nobody knew what time it was their phones and watches were confiscated a couple of hours went by until the metal door swung open a man in a suit and a gas mask walked into the room get up and follow him the voice on the speaker instructed Billy realized the mask man was just the supervisor not the organizer where are they taking us bill whispered to a fellow captive but nobody knew soon they were all
ushered into a dimly lit room where their right hand was cuffed to a chain dangling from the wall welcome to your first task the chilling voice spoke find your key and set yourselves free within 10 minutes or face the consequences your time starts in 3 2 1 and go as many as 1,000 keys dangled from various hooks on the wooden board before them and they only had 10 minutes to to find the right key and release themselves Billy's soldierly instincts kicked in as he saw the commotion in the room take a key each and pass
it around if it doesn't fit toss it in the middle he addressed the group that way we'll be able to eliminate the wrong ones and find the right key they formed a circle and started passing the keys in a tense terrifying fashion the first 5 minutes passed for participants succeeded in finding their keys and freed themselves the circle was disrupted making the task even more challenging for those Left Behind 4 minutes left faster the voice said three more contestants successfully unlocked their restraints and hurriedly exited the room Billy was stranded with an older man and
a woman who were still desperately searching for their keys who will make it out the voice continued its live commentary as the hearts of the three participants pounded with anxiety with just a minute remaining Billy finally found the key and unlocked himself however he decided to stay behind and assist the other two finally the older man was freed he and Billy frantically searched for the woman's key when a sharp siren echoed in the room the supervisor reappeared and the voice on the speaker ordered Billy and the other man to leave the task room immediately the
metal door slammed shut behind them as they left suddenly a jarring gunshot echoed through the corridor what was that one of the captives shouted in Terror they sh shot her a contestant stammered in shock and Chaos erupted the contestants screamed and protested to be let go they even ran around frantically hoping to find an Escape Route but in vain soon they were herded back into their room and locked up a supervisor stayed back to watch over at that point none of them knew that their Fates were sealed in a Sinister game of survival and that
out of the nine remaining contestants only one would make it alive Billy suddenly Rose from his bed and marched across the room but a guard blocked his path I want to use the restroom Billy replied but the guard followed him Billy knew this was his chance as he stepped into the narrow bathroom he turned on the faucet to Make Some Noise then he removed his shoes leaving them neatly arranged in his stall and crawled into the adjacent stall hurry it up old man the guard outside said growing impatient and he began banging on the door
Billy remained silent a few minutes passed And the guard's frustration reached its peak he crouched down and peaked under the stall door when he noticed only a pair of shoes he grew suspicious he barged inside in a Flash Billy emerged from the adjacent stall and charged at the unsuspecting guard he grabbed him and slammed head against the wall with a sickening thud using all the strength he could muster soon the guard fell to the floor unconscious but alive wasting no time Billy quickly changed into the guard's uniform and secured the unconscious guy with his own
restraints then he wore the gas mask and emerged from the bathroom he stealthily made his way to the metal door and opened it using the guard's access card he was wandering down the hallway in search of the exit when he ran into a guard on duty hey hold on man where do you think you're going the guy asked Billy fear gripped Billy as he scrambled for a quick lie I I'm just following the boss's instructions he ordered me to check the building and Report anomalies if any Billy stammered nervously anomalies what kind of anomalies did
he say anything specific the guard asked not sure man but the orders are important Billy replied trying his best to sound convincing finally The Man relented Billy couldn't believe his lock and he continued down the corridor he stumbled Upon A dimly lit office and walked inside only to gasp in horror video feeds from surveillance cameras showed that the other guards had found the tied-up guard in the contestant's bathroom and they were all looking for Billy now Billy's heart raised as his eyes darted around the room for a phone finally he spotted an old telephone on
the Clutter desk he had just dialed the cops when the door burst open Billy gasped in shock when he recognized the man who entered it was the customer with poor vision from the store why are you doing this what do you want Billy asked nervously the man smirked you're a man of questions Billy well let me educate you we are nothing but Pawns in a game of survival or orchestrated by the wealthy Elite individuals who have seen and experienced everything the world has to offer but they Hunger for More for the thrill of human desperation
and survival the contestants were carefully Souls like you you want money for your wife's treatment don't you it's a game of the survival of the fittest Billy and only one emerges as to the end leave that phone Billy and you'll get another $250,000 and you'll get to go home he added there's no way you can outsmart us guards as the men nabbed Billy he was worried they would kill him but minutes later the sound of police sirens filled the air the cops were on the telephone line listening to everything the police and K9 units surrounded
the factory freeing the captives and collecting evidence and data about the game's organizers can you tell me how you ended up here sir an officer approached Billy startling him Billy narrated The Deadly incident never expecting to see the officer again but a few days later while Billy awaited the news about his wife's condition outside the hospital the officer approached him we have good news Billy he said and explained how the police had Tracked Down The Game's organizers and you risked your own life to save those eight people Good reaps Good Billy so I'll take care
of your wife's surgery for you Billy couldn't believe it his his eyes glisten with tears and he thanked the officer with all his heart [Music]
