Chapter 13, Breaking the Law

7:50pm December 1, 19#9

Every year, this happened, it was just a routine thing to them now. This will be the 16th time they did it. Except, since Thomas had a broken leg, Maria had to hide Shadow and drill the floor board on. When McGovern shot Shadow in the foot, it made a hole through the floor board, but the hole was covered up with a sun sticker.

Maria and Shadow arrived at the hiding place and began to undrill the floor board. After it was taken off, Shadow jumped down and made his way around the 'room'. The hiding place was made exceptionally bigger, the room was as big as his bedroom. There was a ladder to get out of the room, a little armchair, a little desk and a battery powered lamp, with photoes of the family form all different years on the desk. THere was even a little battery powered refridgerator that held drink. There still was no bathroom, but Shadow didn't care.

Maria had never actually been in the room, because her father would want to get him sealed in as quickly as possible. She climbed down the ladder into the room. Shadow said as she reached the bottem, "What are you doing?" Maria laughed, "Am I not allowed to look around, I've never been in here." Shadow tried getting her to leave, "And theres no reason to break that record." Shadow looked up at her, "I'm sorry, I'm just-I'm just scared." Maria kneeled down and gave him a hug, she clenched her fist together with her pinkie extended, ready to make the promise they made every year; "Promise you'll come out?" Shadow clenched his fist together and wrapped his pinkie around her's, "I promise." They both smiled and Maria climbed out, when she reached the top, she crossed her eyes and stuck her tongue out at him, he did the same in return. She sealed the room and drilled the floorboard to te floor. Shadow smiled and shook his head. He went to the desk, turned on the lamp, opened the drawer, pull out a pen and notebook. He went over and sat on the couch. He had been keeping the journal since he was 10

He began to write in his journal,

Dear Alicia,

I am now 16 years old and I, once again, went into hiding, as I do every year. Dad broke his leg a few days ago, exactly 5 days ago to be exact. I also found out my reason for existance is to be a weapon of mass destruction.

Oh, by the way, I almost died a little before halloween. I was really angry at Gerald for why he had created me, I punched the window and I started to fly out. I got my hands cut up really bad, it stung so bad, not only was I cut, not only could I not let go, but I was stabbing myself, piercing my own skin to save my life. That was the most frightening moment of my life, not because I thought I was going to die, but that I would never see Maria again.

Maria, she is the only friend i have and she is my best. I would die for her. Gerald told me he would never sell me to anyone, no matter the price, so that made me feel better.

I know I'm jumping around all over the place, but it has been one hell of a year and I just wanted to write it all with my thoughts. I wish Maria's mother was around to be with her daughter...

Well, thats all for now.

See you next year,

Shadow.

Maria didn't feel scared at all for Shadow, but Thomas felt his heart trying to break through his rib cage, since he was not there to see the job on the floor board Maria did. Thomas asked Maria for the 5th time, "Now, are you sure you drilled all of them in?" Maria sighed, "Yes, I did."

Maria didn't feel scared because Shadow had patience and she knew he was safe. She looked in a dusty, old, mirror and looked at herself in her pink dress, Pink and Blonde? I look like a barbie...

Agent McGovern was in the EP room and saw a liquid that was called 'Immorafirun'. He knew all about chemical's being and ex-scientist, before this job offer came along with better pay. He saw a needle next to it, filled it up and injected it into his arm. Immorafirun makes you immortal.

Agent Mcgovern's best friend in the force is Agent O'Riley, they were both working together to find Shadow. They stood right above the hiding place and Shadow could hear their voices, but couldn't make out what they were saying. He always got scared whenever someone was above his hiding place because when he got shot by McGovern.

O'Riley said, "theres no one here lets move out." They went t the first floor that had the secretaries desk, it had the control for the cameras. McGovern went over there and began to type in the computer. O'Riley went over to McGovern and looked at the screen, "What are you doing?" McGovern said, "I'm installing Project Big Brother, it hacks into the camera and allows us to watch what is on the cameras. I don't care if its againest the law, I want to end this madness. Finished!" McGovern and O'Riley slowly walked to the storage room to let everyone out. O'Riley said, "But, Jase, why do we come here? Its been over 15 years, its probably long dead." McGovern said, "Eric, if we find him, you gotta buy me a soda, ok?" O'Riley smirked and nodded as he opened the door, "Everyone you are free to go." The duo stopped the Robotniks as they mad there way out, McGovern said, "See ya later."

Maria had let Shadow out of the hiding place, "Are you ok, Shadow?" Shadow mocked, "Well, I'm not dead." Maria laughed, and they made there was back to the apartment.

No one knew, of course, that someone with a black soul was watching them. Through Project Big Brother, McGovern was watching, "Heheheh..." Your mine......
