[ WP ] Two people keep each other company : one does n't know the future but remembers the past , the other does n't know the past but remembers the future .

He blinked as I saw his head finally rise, I saw him make an attempt to rub his eyes, but the chains on his wrists prevented him from doing so. He was a slim man with what appeared to be a tall build, but was hard to accurately define while he was sitting. Dressed in a suit, but with no shoes. I waited a minute or two for him to fully come around and wake up. `` Good to see you're alive, I was starting to get worried my visions were off'' 
 
 The man looked around at the small cement room with no windows and one door, before finally pinpointing the source of the voice and staring at me. `` What is this? Where am I? Who are you?'' he said in a visibly nervous tone. 
 
 `` As for the what and the where I ca n't say, as for the who, the names Josh, and you are?'' I responded 
 
 `` My names Alex. How did we get here? The last thing I remember was walking down the street about to turn into my apartment complex'' he replied back, his body language signaling he had calmed down some. 
 
 `` So you can remember what happened before we got here?'' I asked hopefully. 
 
 `` Not everything, just what happened up until I blacked out and woke up just now'' Alex said still looking around at the cement room. 
 
 I stared at him, trying to read his face, he seemed genuinely concerned, and I was n't sure if I would help his mindset by telling him, or if it would just work him up again. I decided, that chained to a wall in a room with one door and no windows with a strange man, that there was n't much else that could make the situation worse, so I decided to inform him. 
 `` Uh, look Alex, there's something I need to tell you, and it's going to sound crazy, but I need you to trust me if we're going to have a shot of getting out of here.'' 
 
 He looked at me again with a confused stare, `` Okay? What is it, and what makes you so sure we're getting out?'' 
 
 I gave him a smirk `` You see, the thing is, I ca n't remember my past, I never can, a day goes by and I ca n't recall what I did, my childhood, my parents, past jobs, none of it. Just my name, and well, the future are all I can see when I try and think of my past...'' I trailed off looking back at Alex to read his expression. 
 
 He narrowed his eyes, and gave me a look that told me he thought I was full of shit `` What kind of weird shit are you into buddy? Is this some sort of game you like to play, kidnap someone and lock him up down here to fuck with him?!'' 
 
 I cut him off `` No, I woke up here right before you did and I have no idea how to get out, but I can see that we do get out because I can see us escaping, I see the door open and a man laying on the ground.'' 
 
 Again he stared with narrowed eyes and that same look that assured me he thought I was mental. 
 
 I started again `` Look Alex, my *visions* are different I know that much, they allow me to see into the future, but only so far ahead, and not the immediate future, so while I ca n't tell you how we get out, I can assure you, we will escape this together if you can trust me.'' 
 
 I saw his face relax, his mind realizing that he had no other option but to trust me.'' Fine, what choice do I have anyway, what's your plan?'' he responded finally. 
 
 I gave him another smile. `` I need you to try and remember anything after you blacked out and before you woke up, I need you to really try and remember. There has to be something that someone said or did, or something you saw that can help us get out of here.'' 
 
 Alex sighed and closed his eye. `` I ca n't think of anything, all I see is blackness, and... a voice, no 2 voices. One female, one male. The woman is saying...'' He wo n't survive this, there's no way he can, he'll never find the slide...'' 
 
 Alex opened his eyes again and looked at me `` The slide, do you see any slides in your future... uh visions?'' 
 
 I was already processing my visions, but they started as we are walking out of the room, I tried to get a better view as we walked out, glancing behind me, over Alex's shoulder I saw the room, and....a hole in the ground, or a square space, about the shape of a tile.'' I opened my eyes and pointed near Alex's right foot `` There! I saw a hole in the floor there, where that tile is'' 
 
 Alex looked at his foot, studying the tile then working his foot along the space. He tried kicking it, but it did n't even budge. He dug his heel into the spot and tried sliding his foot across the top, but still, it did n't move. 
 `` Ahhh, fuck, are you sure this was the tile?'' Alex asked angrily, kicking the spot some more. 
 
 `` Yes, that's it, there has to be a way to get it out and see what's under there, think. They clearly want us to get out of here, you said the woman said `` He'll never survive, he'll never find the slide, so they want us to find it.'' I exclaimed. 
 
 Alex stopped kicking the tile and re-examined it once more. Then he leaned his head in further, and smiled. `` Look! there's two point, one on either side of the tile, they must open it somehow.'' 
 
 He tapped each one with his foot, but got no response. He tried dragging his toe from the top to the bottom, but still nothing. Then, he tried dragging his foot around the edge of the tile starting at the top point, moving around the edges to the bottom, and back up to the top again'' 
 
 Suddenly the edges lit up blue, and the tile slid open, revealing a silver key. 
 
 `` Get the key!'' I yelled. 
 
 It took him a minute, but Alex finally managed to grasp the key with his foot and scoot it up behind his back to unlock his hands. He then came over to me and set my arms free. 
 
 `` What do you thinks on the other side of the door?'' Alex asked in a concerned tone. 
 
 I closed my eyes, and tried to envision what it was. `` I see some sort of computer panel, like a giant control board of some sort, and a woman....'' I replied trailing off. 
 
 Alex looked at me determined and simply stated `` Let's go'' 
 
 We made our way to the door and Alex slowly turned the handle, then wrenched the door open, and before I could react he had punched the woman on the other side waiting square in the face and knocked her out cold. 
 
 `` Let's see how she likes it'' He said and I squeezed past him to the control table on the other side of the door looking back at him with a chuckle. 
 
 Alex moved the woman into the room and shut the door before coming back into what appeared to be a control room of some sort. `` Ok, what now?'' He asked right before the needle struck his neck and his legs started to wobble. 
 
 `` Wh... wh..what are you doi....'' He tried to say before collapsing into my arms. 
 
 I laid him down, and went to wake up Emily in the other room. Once her eyes opened she smiled up at me and asked `` Well, how is he?'' 
 
 I grinned back and said `` Phase one is complete, subject is ready to move on to phase 2''
