Chapter Three: Cassie

I waited in the small, dimly lit room. I was alone, which was a good thing. We couldn't have any screw-ups here. There were two doors. The one I had come in. And then there was the one that hadn't opened yet, which I assumed led to a Yeerk Pool.

The door opened. It was Erik.

"Come on." he said.

I walked through the door.

He led me down a hallway. Then he stopped and pressed his hand against a panel in the wall.

A door appeared. We stepped through. It wasn't completely dark. It was a red light. Metal stairs led down.

Three flights down. A landing, a door, a hallway, a door.

Open. Inside there was a table. Mr. Chapman sat in the only chair. In the corner there was a tub. A portable Yeerk Pool. There were handcuffs and a harness. Facing them was a steel chair.

Erik led me over to it.

"Place your right hand here," said Erik.

I put my hand in the shackle.

"Now your left hand."

I put my left hand in the shackle. I didn't like being cuffed up like a criminal, but this was the only way to stop myself from being treated as involuntary.

"Now lay your head down, sideways, in the harness."

I put my head there and Erik fastened it. There was a whirring motor somewhere close. The side of my head was forced down toward the surface of the pool. I could just barely see a single Yeerk through it.

My ear touched the water. I watched as the Yeerk swam closer and closer to my ear.

Then she touched my ear.
