Chapter 7
OoOoOoOoO
"So you're just gonna leave her out there, she is four years old, she can never survive on her own."
Tyrell and Moana were walking through a long tunnel back to the lab. It was completely dark, without any electricity in the narrow passageway, and the flashlights in their hands made the shadows on the wall dance spookily.
"That's not my problem. There will be no use for her at Tepicore, she was just an experiment. But in less than a year, we will have the devise ready to bring in other kids, and then our work can start for real," Tyrell said with a wicked grin on his face.
Moana didn't say anything. She felt sorry for the kid. Tyrell had ruined her completely, and for what? An experiment! She glanced at the man next to her. She didn't want to work with him anymore. From the beginning things had seemed like a cool idea, but as the years went on, Tyrell had gotten more and more insane. As it was now, he just did those things he did for pure pleasure. He was crazy! But as much as she wanted to leave Tepicore, she didn't dare. Tyrell would kill her…

One week later
The Centre.

Lyle was sitting in Miss Parker's office waiting for her to come back. She said she was going to talk to Broots and she had been gone more than half an hour already.
Just as he thought there was no idea to just sit there like an idiot, Miss Parker's phone rang. Lyle looked at it for a while, then he answered.
"Hello, is there someone named Miss Parker there?" the woman on the line almost whispered, she sounded nervous.
"Not right now, what do you want?" Lyle asked.
"I can't tell you, I need to talk to Parker, now… it's important."
Lyle frowned. "Alright…" he started. "I'll go get her," he saidand hurried towards the tech room. He had a feeling Miss Parker would be interested to hear what this woman had to say, whatever it could be. She definitely sounded strange.
Only a couple of minutes later Miss Parker ran into her office, grabbing the phone.
"Hello?"
"Are you… Miss Parker?"
"Yes, who are you?" Miss Parker almost snapped. She was getting impatient.
"My name is Moana… I have your daughter…"
Miss Parker was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe her ears. The woman on the phone claimed she had Trinity?
Miss Parker couldn't help but gasp. She tried to pull herself together from the shock.
"Where is she? Is she hurt?" she asked, holding her breath as she was waiting for an answer.
There was a silence as Moana thought of what to say. Could she really tell her what Tepicore had done to the child?
"Tell me!" Miss Parker demanded. By now Lyle had entered the room again and stood beside his sister.
"Listen, I'm gonna be in big trouble if someone finds out I told you this. But Ty… the man who took her is going to dump her somewhere in the city tonight, I'll follow him and pick her up. Then we can meet somewhere and you'll get her back," Moana said quietly.
"My god…" Miss Parker mumbled. She swallowed hard. "Where?" she asked.
"You know the Tivoli outside of Dover?"
"Yes."
"Meet me there, after midnight, I have a red corvette," Moana said. "And ehm…" she had to warn this Parker woman about her daughter's condition. "I'm afraid Trinity is not the same person you used to know…" she nearly whispered.
There was a silence. "What do you mean?" Miss Parker asked sharply.
"I'll tell you later, okay? It's not safe on the phone," Moana hung before Miss Parker could ask any more questions.
Miss Parker turned to Lyle, telling him what Moana had told her.
She walked up to thesofa and collapsed into the cushions, sighing deeply.
"What have they done to her? What does she mean she's not the same person?" she whispered.
Lyle sat down next to her "I wish I knew…" when he saw the sad look on his sisters face, he felt sad himself. He wanted to hug her, but he couldn't. First, he didn't think she would let him, and second, this was the Centre, he was the boogeyman, he wasn't supposed to have feelings, especially not for his sister. God, he was supposed to hate her. Everyone thought he did.
"Don't worry sis, everything is going to be alright," he said instead.
