Corey jumped when somebody touched her on the shoulder. She hadn't been out of the comfort of her home in her whole life. Now that the population police had found a new leader they made it harder for illegal third born children to hide. Her parents had sent her away from them. They gave her a fake ID and shoved her out the door. Now if she were caught her parents wouldn't get caught and killed too.

Corey turned around to see a population police looking at her. She was scared out of her mind. Corey got a closer look at the boy and noticed he was only around thirteen. She smiled noticing he was her age. Then looked at his stern face as he gave her a questioning look.

"Where you going so late at night?" He asked still looking at him.

"I don't know, I'm thinking of joining the population police," The boy glared at her, but she just smiled innocently. Her parents had told her that if she can't find anywhere to go she should join the population police. She now thought it wasn't such a bad idea looking at this boy right beside her.

"Well come with me then," He sighed to himself then muttered that he was so sure she was a third born. Corey heard him, but acted like she didn't. As they got to the population police head quarters the boy asked her ID card. She gave it to him and in return he gave her a uniform.

"You will be working in the kitchen." Then he pointed to where she would be and left. Corey wished she knew his name, but sighed and went to change clothes.

When Corey went to the kitchen nobody paid any attention to her. So she went up to a girl a little older than her and asked what she was supposed to do. The girl smiled and told her to help serve the food. After everybody was fed the girl pulled Corey aside.

She handed Corey a note and then went back to helping make food. The note read Liber? Corey looked at the girl, but she didn't seem to notice and went on with her work.

Later that night as the girls were going to bed the girl came up to her with another note. It read My names Nina, What's yours? She then game Corey a pen and Corey wrote her name down. Nina just nodded and wrote something else on the paper

Liber? I gave her a questioning look. So she wrote done something else. Never mind how do you know Matthias?

Matthias?

The boy who brought you in here

Oh, he found me wondering around outside I told him I wanted to join so he brought me here

Oh so you just here for the food

Food? No my parents kicked me out so I told him I wanted to come here. Nina nodded and then ripped up the note. She said goodnight and the girls went to bed. The next morning as they were waking the girls up Nina wasn't there. Corey just looked around a little bit and went to help serve breakfast.

Nina was already in there. Corey saw her with a note and as Matthias got his breakfast she slipped it in his hand. Matthias then glanced at her real quickly and walked off. Nina then came by Cody and slipped her a note.

A boy named Trey wants to meet you at 7 tonight in the front bathroom, Lock the door when you enter the bathroom.

Corey looked at the note and went on with serving. She looked over at Matthias who was secretly reading the note. When Nina went over to wash his table he slipped her another note. Then left to do other stuff. Corey then finished serving and went to help Nina wash tables. She had a long day before meeting the boy name Trey in the bathroom.
