Chapter 17: Jason

The truth was, I wasn't ready. I know I've tricked my mother in the past, but this was different. This time, I really wanted to make it up to her, and I'm pretty sure this isn't how you're supposed to do it.

I know Noel said she's probably not my mom, but the guard looks so much like her, it makes me feel like a traitor whenever I think about the plan.

Noel looked over at me."You can do this. Just keep telling yourself,'She's not my mother, she's not my mother.'"

I take a deep breath, staring at the soles of my sneakers. My feet felt as heavy as concrete as I made my way to JJ, who was waiting behind the bars that separated the visitors and the prisoners.

"Why, hello!" JJ was grinning at me. I sadly smiled at her, my smile forced.

"I, like, REALLY need to use the bathroom," To add to the act, I started to do the potty dance. "Could you take me there?"

JJ gave me a weird look."But I'm a GIRL!"

I'm pretty sure this clone lost its senses too when Vulagur created her.

"Well, just lead me there! You can stand outside! And hurry!" I started to make uncomfortable faces and did the potty dance. I could tell I was believable because JJ quickly started toward the stairs."Come on! The bathroom is just upstairs! Seems like you really need to go!"

When JJ wasn't looking, I shot Noel and Holly a grin.

Plan Escape is put in motion.
