So when the anger and the pain get the best of you
I now it seems like you are all alone
but I am feeling it too.
when you're crying in the night
all you need to do is call me
I'll be there for you

Adam stared at the sight in front of him. What was fact, what was fiction, who should he trust. He thought back to his conversation in the car.
"I need to come, I knew that this was all blowing up and we needed to conact you, this was the only way."
"Marie this is too dangerous. No one knows about you."
"That's why Echeart came to me to help him move all of the children left in the nursery to a safe location from you and you gang of kidnappers as he put it."
"You mean you knew all this was going to happen."
"I tried to think of a way to warn you, but it was too hard. Isa and I both know how many leaks there are?"
"Well she's one of them…" The saddnes in his voice told the tale of his betray.
"No she was betrayed. The driver of the car told Exheart what was going to happen. He knew he had to destroy your trust in everyone for this to work. Make you believe you where on your own."
"What to you mean?"
"Just follow what you're told by Echeart, we'll take care of the kids. There are too many of us for him to stop."
Was Marie another plant or was she telling the truth. How has she gotten in his car unnoticed, weren't there better ways to contact him. Trust them, he didn't even know who them were. He had the life of a baby girl in his hands. What did he do now, did the them plan for this, did they know this was going to happen? What could he do? How did he fit into the plan of his helpers and how could he help the situation.
The cry of the baby in Echearts arms broke adams considation. "Well I think she is saying that both of us would like you to make a discision. What will it be? The men and women you are trying to protect or the children you all are working to save?"
"Mason you know I could never make this dissition."
"But I know you will, you have no choice Adam."
"There is always a choice Mason." At that moment the lights in the warhouse flickered and then went out. The cries of the children where the only sounds Adam could hear. He strand his eyes to try to make out anything in the darkness. He felt the ropes on his arms and legs loosen and he was pulled to a standing position as a wiggling bundle was thrust into his arms.
Across the warehouse the large door flew open filling the place with the light of the stars outside. Adam stood watching the activity around him. He saw the rush of figures picking up the children and carrying them outside. He could makeout four figures bound on the floor.
A hand grabed on to his arm and begain pulling him along to the door way. It was outside that Adam saw who them where. Five vans waited outside and the flimare faces of the nurses, lab techs, and even suricty grauds stood loading the children into the cars. Adam looked to see Marie guilding him through the maze of people to a van. She shut the sliding door behind them and nodded to the driver. Adam spend the whole ride in silence staring down at the little girl in his arms. The van came to a stop and Marie gently taped his arm bringing him out of his thoughts.
"What you thinking Adam?"
"For once in my life Marie I don't know what to think."
"Mason wanted you to think you where alone, what do you think now?"
"All these people, but how?"
"I told you, they were afrid to act but they couldn't stay silent anymore. We manged to line up some families. Some have volunteered to take some of the kids themselves."
"I'll need to check them out."
"I have all the imformation for you and a computer over there with a sucure link."
"What about the Genomex files, we need to make sure."
"Taken care of… and it's all been traced back to you I am sorry to say. Your cover was blown we figured it was best to have a universal scapegoat for this project."
"You mean…"
"I'm going back to Genomex along with a lot of these people. They need to be stopped Adam. They thought you were the only one, they don't know how many there really are."
"What will you be doing?"
"Changing files and more importantly policies, we are going to bring down Genomex from the inside and change it to be a little humane well we are working." Adam nodded and sat down at the computer shifting the bundle in his arms to one arm and started typing with the other.
"I can take her Adam."
"No she's fine here." Adam looked up from his typing to see Marie and Isa standing infront of him. Isa had a very famlier boy in her arms.
"I thought you would want to say goodbye to Jesse here before I take him to his new home." Isa said bounceing the boy on her hip.
"Jesse?" Adam said.
"Well 396 didn't look very good on the aboption form."
"I know, just the other ones…"
"You named, well that girl in your arms still needs a name before I take her home."
"You're going to…"
"Be her new family once you come up with a name so we can finish the paper. I would take Jesse and more if I could but I won't be able to work for a while and we found a wealthy family who is looking for a baby boy. Jesse here should fit the bill quite nicely. It will be a better home then I could give him."
"I just figured you be going back to Genomex like everyone else."
"My cover is blown, and I can help out in this way." Isa and Adam traded the kids.
"So what is it Adam?"
"Emma,"
"Where did you get that from?"
"It's the name of the nursery's janitor. Kinda of a remember to never understment the little people you see everyday."
"I'm not sure I understand, but I think that it will describe her well. Come on I need to get on the road with these two."
"I'll see you later."
"No you won't but we can pretend."
