I smiled for a while after Donald left. It was silly, and most likely childish, but, I was so happy that he had kissed me. I felt like a teenager again, but it didn't last. I received another visit from Doctor Zander Rice…

"Good morning," He said as he walked into my cell. I nodded,

"Yeah, great." Rice smiled, and was handed a chair by a guard. He sat in it, and faced me.

"You've completed your training," I dropped my sarcastic smiled, and felt confused.

"What do you mean? What's going to happen?" I asked. Rice closed his eyes for a second before saying,

"It is like graduating. But, in our case you're moving on from training to fieldwork." I felt a lump form in my throat. I wasn't sure what he meant by fieldwork.

"What is fieldwork?" I questioned. Rice, never wavering, said,

"All in good time. For now, I believe you are scheduled to visit Laura and teach her more English. How is that going along?"

"Er, it's going good," I answered, feeling slightly nervous. I knew Spanish, and I had been talking to Laura in both languages. We had been discussing ways to escape with the Nurse Gabriella.

"That's very good to hear," Rice said, as he handed the chair back to a guard, and left. I was taken to Laura soon after.

"Laura, we have to leave soon," I whispered to her in Spanish. Laura nodded, just then, Nurse Gabriella joined us.

"What's the matter?" She asked me in English.

"Doctor Rice is going to be moving me from training to fieldwork. It is only a matter of time before he does the same to Laura," I explained. Gabriella sighed,

"Laura has already been moved to fieldwork. She's been in the field for a while now." I felt shocked. Why hadn't I been informed of this? I needed to get Laura and Gabriella out of that place as soon as I could. But, the real question was how?"I'm still not sure how to get out of here," I mumbled to myself.

"We need to get all the children out. I heard that X-24 is almost complete. Once it is, there will be no point in having the children," Gabriella urged. I sighed, and put my head in my hands, thinking. There has to be a way out of here, I thought, I just know there had to be. After a few more moments of thinking, something came to mind.

"How does Doctor Rice get out of here?" Gabrielle looked confused by this question, but answered,

"He uses a helicopter, why?" I smiled,

"That means there has to be a roof. I don't know how this will help the other kids, but Laura can heal. If we jump off the roof together, then we're free," I explained this as fast as I could, for fear of being overheard.

Over the next few days, Gabriella, Laura, and I formulated a plan for the other kids. First, we would make sure all the other nurses were in on it. Second, Laura would try to find a way to contact Charles. Third, the nurses would use their ID codes to let the children out of their cells. Fourth, I would escort Laura to the roof, and we would jump off of it. Fifth, Gabriella and the other nurses would help as many children as they could to get out, and destroy as many DNA samples as they could. Sixth, Gabriella would meet Laura and I at a hotel. Seventh, I would find Logan, and convince him to help us smuggle Laura to Eden, a place Gabriella told me that there were more mutants. Eighth, we would drive Laura to North Dakota to meet up with the other escaped kids. Finally, we would cross the border into Canada to get to Eden. It sounded like a good plan once it was all laid out, but I had my doubts. I knew that Doctor Rice would make sure he didn't lose the children. That would mean trouble for us.

I was scared, but, I knew that we would have to escape. I wasn't going to sit around and let Doctor Rice use Laura and innocent children as weapons. I would fight for Laura as if she was my own daughter, because after the months I had spent with her, I did think of her as my daughter, and I would do anything to protect her. Anything- even if it meant dying in the process. I also think I was so protective of her because she was Logan's daughter. After a year of living with Logan, I knew he would need Laura. I knew that he would fall in love with her- just as I had. I knew he would need her if Charles died. Logan didn't deserve to be alone, and neither did Laura. They were more alike than I had ever imagined.
