' Just when you think they can't make your life any worse, they do. A BABYSITTER! Me! A babysitter for a bunch of experiments gone wrong. It's an insult! I am a perfectly tuned fighting machine and they want me to baby sit! Why can't the erasers do it? They're better at that kind of stuff then I am.' Erin walked down the corridor to her father's office. She didn't even bother to look into the rooms she passed. She was better then those pitiful beings that sat behind those doors.
Erin smiled to herself as she entered her father's office.
"Morning Daddy," she said in a sweet voice as she gave her father a hug and a kiss on the cheek and sat on the edge of his desk with her legs crossed.
"I really wish you wouldn't do that, Erin," the man sitting across from her took his glasses off and rubbed his eyes.
"Do what?" she jumped off his desk and straightened the name plate she had knocked over.
JEB BATCHLER
"Erin, be serious," he said wit ha harsh tone, "this is important. What I am about to ask you needs to take place over everything in your mind. You think you can gallivant off like a regular 17 year old," he paused to make sure she was paying attention, "The fact is, you are not a normal 17 year old, Erin. You have an important purpose in life. I wish I could make you take this seriously."
"I do take this seriously," she said in a quiet voice.
"I don't think you do ,Erin," Batchler said as he stood up and walked over to the window," You don't respect the premises, you don't respect the project, and you don't respect me."
"You know that's not true," Erin said in a voice that was barely audible above the cries of the erasers being let out to hunt, "How can you even say that?"
"Well, you haven't been showing it very well," he turned around to face her and looked her straight in the eyes, "You are going to have to start from the bottom, Erin. You need to re-earn your respect and trust. Your chore is simple; you are going to keep an eye on the new arrivals."
"WHAT?!" she screeched, knocking over she chair as she stood, "this is bull shit! I have put my life on the line for this fucking project! ME, your daughter, and you had me turned into one of your little freaks! This is bull shit!"
"ERIN!" Batchler shouted, "you will not take that tone with me! I am ypur father and you will do as I say," he took a deep breath, "Dismissed."
"But Dad…."
"I said 'Dismissed'"
"Dad…"
"OUT!"
