Chapter Two - Charlie

I saw him again today. The lonely man. He was crying. I wish he wasn't so sad. He used to be so happy, when the girl was there, but she isn't there anymore.

I told the others. Chloe and Gareth, I mean, not the adults. I don't tell the adults anything I see unless they've told me to see it. They get mad.

Chloe says we should ask him to come help us. Now, she says, so we won't have to leave anyone behind. I know what she meant. She meant before the scientists start making more of us, because then the babies would be too little to escape. But Gareth doesn't like it. He didn't say it but I don't think he trusts the man I saw. He'll do it though. He always does what Chloe wants in the end.

Anyway, tomorrow I'll show him what I know about the man, and then he will trust him.
