Ch.9: Think a moment

"So tell me what this has to do with Kowalski." Kent demanded hopping from his bed.

Peter's face became paler when he realized what he said. "you know this woman?" he asked feeling particularly bold.

"It's none of your business I know. I just want to know what's going on in this place!" Kent threw his arms up speaking in a deafening tone. He was already messed with once and he wasn't going to let his last chance of knowing slip away.

"As a matter for finding the truth. You were better off looking for like the rest of you." Peter eyes piercing into Kent's black circle glasses. Hoping to find some emotion that could only be seen with his eyes.

"Rest of us, you think I'm just like the collection of people that know no more than I do." Kent snorted thinking upon such his answer. It wasn't his fault necessarily that he was ignorant of what goes on behind closed doors.

They were the ones who shut it. If anything that Doctor Doctor did owe them was an explanation. There was still many secrets to be kept to collection of civilians in the dark. There was mass mayhem probably the worst fears that earth had possibly been through before.

When all of Earth figured out the existence of extraterrestrial life forms did exist. That Earth was just they're little playground in the vast universe. That people still protest the insidious lies that were projected after all of Earth was moved to the moon. It was a vast cover up that's what it was.

Lies are the foundation and the key to keeping people from knowing the truth. Sad to say the least Kent actually thought it was for the best. The origin of human existence was a closely guarded secret and he was yet to find that out. Best save that puzzle for another day, but he knew it was important to probe for these answers.

It just seemed like he had to do it. If he thought it was a good thing that he'd never figure out for himself he had other ideas.

"Listen I know we got off on the wrong foot." Kent held his leg up pointing to his left foot for comedic affect. "but you know I think it's best for the both of us to work something out."

"Like what," Peter replied quizzically questioning Kent's position on the matter. He was sworn to secrecy and if his friend ever figured out. The consequences just might have him murdered for treachery or worse.

"Anything I just want to know before it's too late." He walked to the exit and left through it.

Peter watched Kent leave without even saying a goodbye. He could understand how the expendable was feeling. He only prayed that the operation was a success. Even though that the process was life altering in itself. The person was now transformed into a human test subject. Breaking the codes of the Nuremberg laws that was set to stop such misuse of human life. The woman's life was also in his hands and as the captains of the project now only second to Virgil.

There's no telling what might happen now. Before long his hands will be dirtied, but he was given the decision to back away. Disappointing Virgil was the last thing he wished to do. Even though it will mark him as a inhuman monster for the rest of his life. This was to be one of his greatest achievements. To be better than those scientists that help reverse engineer flying saucers. This was a privilage more than right to have access to more knowledge than Kent.

It great to know what he doesn't.

But keeping the information to himself and sharing it with a select few. That's what he felt like when it meant that you were one of the elite. Peter shook his head beginning to find himself less than happy with his previous thoughts. If it meant to throw everything you had just to obtain the knowledge in the first place. To become someone important just to know the secrets that people were hiding then was it worth it all in the end?

Just to know that beforehand you too were decieved and had to vow silence.

The ideas and his feelings did not make him any happier than before his previous notions.

He had to deal with this himself before he felt like confronting the expendable again.
