12:50 PM ~ Day 1
"You mean you really ARE from another world?" gasped Steve.
"Yeah, where do you think I got this?" he responded, remembering what was in his pocket.
"What the hell?" They stared at the video game.
"It's called Pokemon Crystal."
Samantha went to a door which looked like it went into the Bath Room. She returned a moment later with a Game Boy.
"Don't you have Advances?" Thomas queried.
"Yes but they've been fixed so that Pokemon games won't-"
"GET IT."
She did. With a quick glance into the device, he knew what to do.
"Can I borrow your necklace?"
Steve handed him the tiny cross on a string. He poked the long end around in the machine until he heard a snap.
"You broke it!"
"No. Try the Crystal now."
It worked perfectly.
Thomas spent his afternoon cataloguing the myriad notes and drawings, to be published when he got back to his world. Steve doodled pokemon and plans to get get to what he called "ParkeWorld" or Parker world. Samantha made little progress on pokemon Crystal before 3:30, when she gathered the boys' papers and the games and showed Thomas the secret compartment in the bathroom where they kept them.
At 3:45, a counselor took Samantha to the Clean room for therapy. Through a hole near the floor, Thomas watched until he was bored.
At 4:30, Samantha's therapy was over; they could hear her being taken to her room.
"They have another lockable door between the hall and the main room," Steve told him, "That way we can go to the bathroom from our bedrooms, but the'll be sure we don't escape."
Steve was taken to tharapy at 5:00. At 6, Thomas was taken.
