Dr. Crawford sneaked in to the under ground lab where they kept her, 129. The girl was an experiment. 129 had lived all her life in the labs without any question of her treatment till Dr. Crawford was hired.
Dr. Crawford was like all the other scientists at the Cadmus lab except for her strong resolve to get 129 out of the institute. Dr. Crawford was paid to make sure 129 was healthy and ready for combat in other words, a training specialist.
She took out the stolen ID card and scanned it into computer, and the steel door opened to the pale, 9-year-old girl sitting in the middle of the floor. She looked up when Dr. Crawford came in and stood up ready for the plan Crawford had told 129 days ago. The two slowly sneaked out into the world and the darkness of night.
129 P.O.V.
"What after now?" I asked as Dr. C speed up on the empty highway.
"No talking yet." I nodded in confusion but didn't question, Dr. C knew things like that. I looked out the window naming the objects I could and cataloging the others to ask Dr. C later. Crawford turned into one of the exits and parked into a 24-hour motel lot. She got out and motioned for me do the same.
"I'm going to get some food, I think you'll like. If I don't come back in 1 hour you are to go to this address." She said as she handed me a piece of paper.
"What's an address?" Crawford sighed and pointed to the paper
"Street name, Number of building." I nodded it was just like the system for the lab. Crawford left, and just as she said she was back within the hour. Crawford handed me the thin box and the gas container she was carrying and went up to another car and then motioned me over again. Dr. C broke in to an old-looking car then drove us back to the highway. "Try the food in the box. It's called pizza." I opened the box to find a circle of steaming bread, tomato sauce, and cheese.
"Where are the eating utensils?" Dr. C grabbed a piece of the pizza and put it in her mouth.
"You don't need them." I copied her motions and ate the pizza it was unlike everything at the lab.
We drove in silence, Dr. C wasn't much of a talker and I didn't have anything to say.
We drove non-stop for hours upon hours, until Dr. C pulled over.
"We 're walking on foot from here" Dr. C pulled out the water bottles she had gotten that morning.
"Dr. C?"
"We need to confuse the labs some how, besides I know somewhere we could hide for a while, and 129," I looked up at her, "call me Amanda." I nodded and took note as we walked in to the forest. "129," I looked up again . "We should think of a name for you."
"What do you mean?" Amanda sighed with exaggerated patience, "Hon, in the outside world we have names with letters which roll off the tongue such as Amanda. Hmmm, you know you remind me of a person I use to know named Phoebe and you can use my last name which is not Crawford it's Danford."
"You can change your name! How is anyone to know who you are!" This topic of names was confusing. I like my number name letters are to confusing.
"Well sort of, my name was never Amanda Crawford."
"Oh, so I do know who you are?" We went back and forth as Amanda slowly explained the concept of names and the humans behind them, till they came to an edge of a town. "Welcome Phoebe to Happy Harbor your new home." I was coming to hate that name, it was like Amanda had chosen who I was with just some letters.
"Where are we going now? I mean now that we are in town?"
"You ask too many questions."
"Sorry."
Amanda kept on walking not answering my question. I followed taking in the back alleyways trying to memorize the way back to the forest. We walked in to an apartment building and Amanda unlocked one of the many doors. "This, Phoebe, is where we live, your room is up the stairs and the second door to the right. My friend will be back here in a bit, his name is Lukas."
"Lukas." I repeated, Amanda nodded and went up the stairs and didn't come back. I followed her lead and went up the stairs to the room she had told me about. The walls were rust red and the floors wooden. In the far corner of the room was a small bed. Opposite of the bed there were two sliding doors. I opened them to find many clothes on hooks and shoes on the floor of the small like room. I closed the doors, went out of the room, and knocked on the door, which Amanda had entered.
"Yes Phoebe?" she answered
"What do I do now?" Amanda sighed tiredly.
"I don't know go take a shower or something." She went down the stairs and into what I presumed was the kitchen. I stayed up stairs and opened the last door in the hallway to find the shower Amanda was talking about. There was a toilet, shower, and cupboards underneath the sink where I found the towels, neatly folded. I looked in to the mirror. My face was gaunt making my light sliver eyes and my platinum blond hair pop out against my pallid colored face. I got in to the shower and washed up like Amanda had suggested.
After I was finished I ran to my room where I looked in the small room, which held all those clothes. I got dressed and nervously looked down the stairwell to see Amanda and a man talking in the kitchen.
"I'm so sorry baby, I couldn't get her all back, but brainwashing is sometimes temporary and if normal life is ever day then maybe she'll remember and we'll have Phoebe back." Amanda said lightly touching the man's arm.
"I hope your right Amanda." the man said back as he hugged her. 'Why where they talking about me, or are they? I don't understand, brainwashing what is that?'
"I have to warn you Lukas, Phoebe isn't the same looking anymore, but she is still our Phoebe still deep down."
"I know that's what you keep telling me,Amanda and I know that it's true." Lukas said as he held Amanda in to his arms. They stayed like that for a while till Amanda pulled away.
"I'll go get her."
I ran into my assigned room as Amanda walked up the stairs to my door. "Phoebe," that name again? "Lukas is here come down and meet him!" her words choked on the last I opened the door and started to walk but Amanda stopped me and crouched down to my level. "My friend Lukas is here, Phoebe. I think you'll like him he's very nice. Come on let's go." She grabbed my hand and dragged me down the stairs to the small table next to the kitchen. Lukas was already sitting with everything already set and served. Amanda sat across from Lukas leaving the middle seat for me. I stared at Lukas, he looked familiar like from a dream, I shook my head, I had never seen him before...right.After meeting Lukas I went to bed and promptly fell asleep. In the mornings I awoke and Amanda would train me in anything and everything she could from martial arts to what I would learn at school if I had gone. Meanwhile Lukas went to work at a garage down the road except on Saturdays, which was the time, we played board game after endless board game.
Amanda smiled at me and grabbed a take out menu of Lukas's favorite Chinese place. "I think we should surprise Lukas tonight what do you think Phoebe?" I hated that name, the Phoebe, Amanda had known was a little girl who was taken from Lukas by the labs and for some reason the name felt as if I was intruding on an unmentioned line. Of course I knew this line the Phoebe Amanda and Lukas knew was causality in an incident in a riot in the main lab 10 years ago. I hated that name it was like being an imposter on her life she couldn't live any more.
I nodded not really caring; she would order the food even if I screamed at her not too. Amanda grabbed the phone almost pushing the first digit in the phone number when a loud knock on the door sounded in the apartment. Amanda looked at me and I nodded going to my room. It was a system we developed. I was not supposed to be seen so when someone came a knocking, I went in to my room waiting for a signal to come out or run and push the emergency button, which Amanda given me. Its purpose was to bring me help, more of Amanda's friends. I waited calmly Lukas lost his key constantly. I waited for Lukas's voice to signal that everything was alright that it was only him. My heart pounded as I heard hushed whispers and the door close. I grabbed my bag and inched my hand towards the button. Three pairs of feet ascended the stairs and I opened my window not pressing the button just hoping, just pretending that nothing was wrong then the door burst open. Lukas and Amanda each held a pistol aimed straight at me. two-gun stationed at their heads where a agent stood. My eyes widened and despite every atom in my body was screaming for me to move, I stood still as if I was pinned up on wall in a display case.
