Route 3.2 – Look for another option

You look at the axe in your hand and shake your head. If the killer is still around, the noise you make when you break down the door would alert him immediately. Besides, you think it will take a while before you can make a hole big enough to slip through. And you really don’t want to run into your kidnapper. You walk over to the tool table and let your eyes wander over the instruments in amazement. Screwdrivers, pliers, a saw, scalpels and other objects that make you shudder. Then you find a roll of wire and grab it. With it you might be able to open the lock.

        Gathering new courage, you take the metal object and go back to the wooden door. Nervously you fumble with the beginning of the wire coil until you have pulled out a whole piece. You thread it into the lock and try your luck. You wind the wire and insert it again and again, trying to bend it, but nothing happens. Just as you are about to give up and look for something else, you hear a click and the door opens a crack. For a short while you can hardly believe your eyes and stare at the lock. You have actually managed to open it somehow! But then you seize your only chance and carefully push the door open. You are grateful that it does not squeak. In front of you is a corridor with a window on your right and a closed door on your left. At the end of the corridor is a room and another door that looks different from the one you just opened and the one to your left. This must be the front door! My way out of here! But you notice a flickering glow at the end of the corridor and come to the conclusion that the murderer may be in that room. Nervously you think about your limited options and then your eyes fall on the window. It would be large enough for you to climb out. Quietly you creep up to the glass window and try to open it. But to your horror it doesn’t move an inch, it seems to be stuck. Suddenly you startle as you hear humming noises coming from the room at the end of the corridor. Sweat beads down your forehead and you look back and forth between the window and the front door.
