Chapter 4: A plan? What plan?
It looked like Gar overheard her last few sentences. He didn't react right away… After a few more minutes he noticed that he was alone now.
He lost control and let tears fall freely down his cheeks. But it didn't matter anymore. Who would see him anyway? People who didn't even care?
Nothing mattered anymore.
Gar was now alone in the world. He was a green teenage boy, to most people a freak. Only his parents cared about him and they're gone.
This is the way his life has mostly been and it's probably the way it will always be.
No! He will not surrender! Not now! He could still fix it!

After a while Gar involuntary fell asleep even though he wasn't tired or exhausted…

The same thing repeated itself throughout days… Almost a week passed by, but it seemed like a month… Maybe even longer.
The only thing that changed was the food… Every day Gar got some water and goo… It was green now and it didn't stunk like meat. It was probably eatable… Gar was surely hungry enough so it looked tasty.

For a few days now, Gar was trying to figure out how to escape. Each day was getting more painful. His wounds didn't heel well. Nothing came to his mind. At least nothing that would work…

Garfield was "allowed" to go to the bathroom twice a day. The people that caught him must've thought about that possibility… In a certain time of the day (twice a day, usually in the morning and in the afternoon) somebody (it was never the same person) would cuff his hands with weird looking handcuffs and led him (usually by force because Gar was always trying to escape) into a small room, which contained a toilet and a sink. Of course, the room didn't have any windows.
Each time he got about five minutes before somebody would either lead him out or get him out by force and get him back to the cage.
Gar knew that the only chance to escape was when he got of the table, but without his shape-shifting abilities he was too weak…
Gar decided to wait until he gets stronger. In the meantime he won't try to escape to avoid further injuries and energy loses.
""I gotta think of something! This can't be my life… Wait! What if they kill me when they do everything they can to me!? I have to do something! And fast! Come on stupid! Think! Think! THINK!""
Those were Gar's thoughts every minute of every day that passed.

Lilly was having trouble sleeping… She was twisting in her bed now, in her apartment and thinking.
She couldn't sleep. How is she supposed to when she knows that one more person, a child is being tortured constantly just because he's different? It wasn't his fault. But still… He is now probably trying to sleep on the hard, cold metal, probably freezing, while she was in her warm, soft bed…
It just wasn't right.
She's been having trouble sleeping since she saw the emerald boy, since she saw Garfield.

Gar was doing the exact same thing as Lilly guessed. Trying to fall asleep on the cold metal. It was pretty uncomfortable (AN: No duh! I write such stupid thing sometimes… Anyways - back to the storyline).
In the meantime, he was (as always) trying to figure out how to escape. He's gonna make his move the next time he gets out of the cage…
