When David woke up, he found himself on his bed in the room he had been assigned previously. There were no doubts in his mind that RALF wouldn't be coming any time soon especially with his meals now. They'd probably deliver them by guard, if he was under guard. He knew the room's door had a lock and it probably was engaged. David knew he wouldn't be allowed to call his family nor to tell them he was fine.
David had trusted Max. Max had learned a lot about human culture. David knew that! Max and he had developed a friendship over time. Now David wasn't certain if he still considered Max a friend. As a matter of fact, David felt betrayed by Max. Why didn't Max see him being led against his will? Why didn't he save him? Why didn't he care enough to see his mother screaming and Bruiser running after the van? Why? Why? Why?
David wanted to bury his head into his arms, but he didn't feel like sobbing. That was a girly thing. David knew he needed to be strong, but his thoughts kept drifting back and forth to Max.
Max was a careless robot drone. He had no feelings about his subjects. That's all Max thought of him. A subject. A test subject to be exact and that made the situation more the worse. Max didn't care about how he spent his days as a lab rat.
Looking around his room, they hadn't taken his toys away, nor did they take his TV. He really wished he was home with his own family. He had a feeling he wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. Not after the tests Faraday had in mind. Shivering at the thoughts of the probes, needles, and questions about Max. Faraday would want to know every thing about Max and his home planet. David had spilled the beans as they said. His brain had leaked all the star charts and information about flying Max's ship. David's brain didn't have anything else to offer the scientists or Faraday.
David decided to get out of bed and into the bathroom. He had to go now that he was awake. He walked toward the bathroom and relieved himself.
After doing his business, he walked out into the room and looked at the mirrored window. He walked over to the window and dragged the drape for privacy. No one was going to watch him.

Caroline walked through the hall doing her errands with RALF. She had thought she had lost her job, but Faraday didn't fire her. She was warned not to help David or attempt to talk to his family anymore. If she did, Faraday would fire her. Caroline felt horrible after looking at the meal plans. David's meal roster used to be for a week. Now, the rest of his life.
Caroline wondered how to help David. Someone such as David shouldn't be in this position. He shouldn't have to undergo these tests. He should just be set free to let him go on his own way. To live his childhood. Not to be some kind of test subject. For now, she'd do her daily runs. Her daily errands, then call one of her friends who can free anyone from the government.
When she was done with her daily rounds, she left the building. Her car awaited her and she got into the seat. She drove off toward home, not aware of the brown sedan following her.
