Chapter 25: Daddy's Little Girl
Shadow and Cyborg walked in silence for a while. Where is she taking me? Thought Cyborg. Then something occurred to Cyborg. "If you were trapped by Slade too," he wondered aloud. "How did you escape?"
Shadow was silent. "You know, I haven't thought about that till you just said it." She said, thinking. "The door to the room my dad threw me in was unlocked . . . .," she paused for a moment. "But then again, I'm not even sure he knows how his mind works. Here we are." She stopped in front of a large metal door.
"Where?" Cyborg asked quizzically.
Shadow opened the door, revealing what seemed like an office. "My dad's office." She said. She and Cyborg stepped in. Shadow closed the door quietly behind her.
Cyborg was confused. "Why are we in here? Didn't you say you checked it out a few months ago?"
"Yes, but we need to have another look at those blueprints." She said. "Maybe they said how to shut down the machine. You take the desk and I'll take the bookshelf."
"Why the bookshelf?" he asked as he walked over to the desk.
"You know those hollow books they sell on the flea market?" Shadow asked as she looked through each book. Cyborg nodded and Shadow continued. "Well, I'm pretty sure he snatched a couple while in China."
All was silent for a moment while they searched. Cyborg decided to stir up a conversation. "So what's it like to have Slade as a dad anyway? You know, besides the whole 'he wants to kill your friends' bit."
"Well I guess you can say it's like not having a father at all." She said. Cyborg felt a little sorry for her. Just then a picture-frame inside the desk drawer he was looking through caught his eye. He picked took it out and looked at it. It was a picture of Shadow.
Her curly carrot-top hair was pulled up in a black ribbon the way it was now. She was in her regular black shirt along with a pair of capris and red sneakers. She had her right leg extended and her toe pointed and her hand was out in front of her with her palm facing out away from her. Her freckles were sprinkled over her nose and cheeks below her emerald green eyes, one of which, she was winking.
Shadow sighed, making Cyborg look up. "Sometimes I wonder if he even cares about me." She said sorrowfully. Cyborg looked down at he words engraved on the frame.
