Adam followed the blond girl in a safe distance. One had thought that she was important somehow and she had always been right, so he would do anything to protect that girl. He reached the shelter a few minutes after her and sat down in front of it. Then he pulled out the blaster he had taken from one of his people he had killed back at the wrecked train. He laid the weapon in the grass beside him, where he could grab it anytime he needed to defend himself.
He waited an hour and then stepped in the shelter slowly. The girl was lying on the floor, deeply asleep. He opened his bag and took out a thick blanket he normally used if he was forced to sleep outside, but right now she needed it more. He picked her up, trying not to wake her and laid her down on it. She squirmed a little, but did not wake up. Adam went outside again to watch for any of his people that might have followed him here. To keep himself from falling asleep he looked into the night sky and counted the stars.
He was awake the whole night and only allowed himself to relax after he heard the girl wake up. She came outside and screamed when she saw him. He quickly put a hand on her mouth and whispered: "Calm down, there might still be some scouts in the area." He let her go after she had stopped screaming and stepped away from her, pointing his blaster at the trees in case there was anyone who heard her. No one came and he put it down in front of him. When he looked at the girl again, her face had become pale. Adam sighed: "You are correct, I am a Mogadorian, but I have protected you last night. Please just give me a chance to tell you my story."
She still seemed sceptical, but she put out her hand towards him and said: "My name is Sarah Hart, I am the girlfriend of Number Four, that is how I know you guys exist. What is yours?"
Adam took Sarah´s outstretched hand and after he had let go again, he replied: "My name is Adamus Sutekh, though my friends call me Adam. I am the son of General Andrakkus Sutekh. Years ago I was part of the group that killed Number One. Afterwards, my father developed a machine that could access the Garde´s minds. I was his test subject, he used me to access her memory. Before that, I was convinced that all Lorics needed to be killed to further Mogadorian process, but after I was hooked up to the machine, One showed me her past and I realized that there had to be a better way than just destroying entire planets, like my people had done with Lorien and were planning doing to Earth. I was left in a coma for three years and after I woke up, I kept seeing One in my mind. Together we tried to stop my people from killing Two and Three, but as you know from your boyfriend, we were unsuccessful. If you allow it, I will accompany and try to protect you until we find Number Four and the others with him again."
Sarah considered this for a while, but then she agreed to trust him for the time being. If he proved to be a traitor later on, after they had met the others, they would not hesitate getting rid of him. If he did not, then it would be helpful to have someone on their side who knew how the enemy thought. She followed Adam to his car that he had parked a short distance away. Sarah put her bag in the trunk and got in the front seat. When she asked her new friend where they were going, he just smiled and said: "A friend of mine that my father does not know about, has a cabin near a lake and lets me use it for free whenever I need it, he does not use it much. I have used it often to hide from whoever is following me."
