There's always a lighthouse always a man and always a city. - Elizabeth

August 14th 1958

About 4 month before rapture falls.

Lizzy Baker pressed her face close to the cold glass and watched the sea animals and fish go by. This was by far 4 year old Lizzy favorite thing about Rapture after only move here a week ago. Just walking down the boardwalk was like walking in a giant fish tank. Just then a big daddy rumble into view and Lilly let out a squeal of joy that made passerby stare. There was something about them. She remember there was a poster that hung outside a creepy store that her mother always rushed her by. The poster was of a big daddy with his suit off. He was very buff and strong looking.

"Is that what they really look like with their suits off?" Lizzy had asked her mother.

"That someone idea, I don't really know." her mother replied. Lizzy had been obsessed with them ever since. This one seemed to be there to drilling a hole in the stone for a new underwater billeted board advertisement. Lizzy tapped on the glass to try and get his attention. The daddy didn't look up from his work. Lizzy tried waving to him to get his attention, and again he ignored her. Just then her mom run up to her with a big black suitcase in her left hand.

"Come one honey!" said Mrs Baker grabbing her hand and try to drag her away from the window. "WAIT!" cried out Lizzy trying to dig her heels into the marble board walk. Mrs Baker drag her daughter a block or so before Lizzy started to walking for herself.

"You didn't let me say good bye!" frown Lizzy as walked beside her mother.

"I told you the Big Daddies are not to be messed with." said Mrs Baker scolding her. "They are workers NOT toys and you are to stay away from them."

"BUT he was behind the glass I was completely safe!" Lizzy argued. Mrs Baker remain silent. She distrusted the Big Daddy. She heard story of them attack people who got to close, and she didn't want the same fate to befall her daughter. They reached the place that Mrs Baker had parked her own personal biosphere. She rushed her daughter into the biosphere and head home. They soon arrived home. Lizzy was feed a quick dinner of oysters, and was sent to bed. Mrs Baker stay up doing the dishes, until her husband arrived home.

"How was your day Noah?" asked Mrs Baker not looking from her work.

"Oh Charlotte, Sander Cohen is such a pain in my neck." sighed Noah popping down in the nearby chair.

"I swear only work will please him is his own." He buried his head into his hands. Charlotte look up at her husband and sighed.

"You need to talk to Lizzy. I am worried about her." Charlotte making her way from the sink over to her husband. "She saw a Big Daddy today!" Noah head popped up out of his hands.

"She didn't go near him right?"

"He was outside in the water fixing something, but she was trying to get his attention." sighed Charlotte rubbing her eyes.

"and where were you?" growled Noah.

"DON'T you DARE blame this one me! I was in the Adam store get Adam!" Noah looked at her with new hunger all thoughts of his daughter erased out of his mind.

"You have Adam?" he said in a dark voice.

"Yep, you want some!" said Charlotte as she realized her own hunger for the substances. As the parents started to ejected themselves the new Adam that Charlotte had gotten. Their young daughter slept in the other room dreaming about Big Daddies. Lizzy had fallen asleep clutching the first picture she had ever taken. The picture was of the light house she and her family had use to get to Rapture. This was her favorite picture and had fallen asleep looking at it. Two figures who were hide in the shades emerged. The first figure was a woman with ginger hair. She had a dress on and held herself with dignity. The man had the same color hair, but he had a suit on. The two looked alike almost as if they were twins.

"I told you!" said man with a faith accent.

"No, you didn't" said the woman also with the same accent.

"I was going to had told you?" said the man.

"That doesn't sound right!" said the woman.

"Well that does change the variables."said the man.

"We guess the circle would end not!" said the woman.

"We didn't guess that there be new players!" said the man.

"No... We didn't." sighed woman "We have never worked with someone so young!"

"She will die without our help!" said the man.

"True!" said woman. "Then again may she die when finally get her out."

"Elizabeth experienced freedom before she die!" said the man. "I see no reason not to let this one have her chance!" The woman looked at the girl with deep sadness and said

"Booker Dwitt even in death you push your debt on to someone else." said the woman.

"First you daughter Elizabeth and now Lizzy Baker." the man finished and with that they turn and vanished in the shadows.
