Chapter 8

OoOoOoOoO

It was completely dark when Miss Parker arrived. She looked out over the Tivoli and smiled sadly as she heard the children's laughter and the music that filled the night. She stopped her car and scanned the place; there was no sign of a red corvette.

"Maybe she lied about this whole thing…" Miss Parker mumbled, most to herself but Lyle heard.

He didn't say anything, just kept looking out through the passenger window.

"Hey sis, look!" he suddenly said. Miss Parker turned her head and saw the little red car coming towards them. It stopped and Miss Parker decided to drive up to it.

"God I hope it's her," she said as she stopped the car and got out. Lyle did the same and stayed a bit behind her.

A woman walked up to her. "Miss Parker? She asked.

Miss Parker nodded. "Moana?"

"Yes," Moana nodded, realizing Miss Parker was really tall. She felt kind of small in front of her. She glanced at the man next to her.

"That's my brother Lyle," Miss Parker said giving Lyle a quick look. "Where's Trinity?" she asked.

"She's in the car. But wait, we need to talk, she's safe there," Moana said.

Miss Parker gave the car a longing look, but decided to talk first. As much as she wanted to see Trinity again, she had to know what had happened to her.

Moana looked at Miss Parker, trying to decide how to put it. She didn't want to risk her own life by saying something stupid. If Tyrell found out what she'd done, her life would be over quicker than she could blink. He could never know that she had followed him and picked Trinity up from the street he'd left her. He could never know that she had helped Trinity back to her mother…

But she also realized no one knew about Tepicore, even less where it was located. It was almost impossible to find that place if you don't know exactly where to look. And the fact that it was totally underground and that the employees only were allowed to enter and leave the place in complete darkness, made her feel a little more secure about telling Miss Parker the truth.

"There's a man, Tyrell, he took Trinity from you that night. I don't know how to say… the place he… we work at are some kind of corporation I guess, or it was, but now Tyrell only uses it for his experiments and his own pleasure of hurting people…" Moana paused for a while, sighing. "I'm afraid Trinity was used for one of his experiments, he injected her with something that made her…" her voice trailed off. How was she going to tell the woman her daughter had turned into some kind of monster… a killing machine…

"It made her see the world through different eyes," Moana paused again and was quiet for a long time. "Damn it I can't say this in a nice way anyway so I'm just gonna say it okay? They took away her innocence, they made her a monster, and I think you should be really careful when you're around her. I'm sorry Miss Parker; she's not the little girl you once knew…"

Miss Parker didn't know what to say. She was just staring at the woman in front of her as if she was crazy. So this was Tepicore. A place even worse than the Centre… But as she thought of it, their work was somewhat similar to the Centre's. She hated that place so much and she had never even seen it. She looked at Moana. What kind of person was she? She worked for them, for the man who had turned her baby girl into a monster. She shook her head, not knowing how to act.

Suddenly she felt angry at her.

"Why didn't you stop him?" she snapped. "Why the HELL did let him do something like this to a little child? This is your fucking fault!" Miss Parker said upset.

Moana just shook her head. "I couldn't… no one can stop Tyrell, he'd kill everyone who tries. He is insane and dangerous…" she said sadly. "Don't think I want to stay there. Being at Tepicore is killing me! But I don't have a choice…" she added.

"Than why don't you leave, gee what kind of idiot are you?" Miss Parker snapped. But as she saw Moana's sad face, she regretted the way she acted. She suddenly realized Tepicore was exactly like the Centre. A prison… Moana was a prisoner at Tepicore just asMiss Parkerwas at the Centre. Miss Parker sighed, she couldn't leave the Centre… she knew exactly how this woman felt.

Miss Parker sighed again. She couldn't believe she was about to say this, but she had too. "I know what you mean," she said in a low voice. "I'm… trapped in the same trap as you are. Only my trap is called the Centre, not Tepicore…"

Moana nodded. "Tyrell talked about the Centre a little, but I never understood what they did there…"

"Trust me you don't want to know," Miss Parker muttered. She gave the car a look. I have to see her, whatever they did to her, she's still my little girl, she's still Trinity…"

Moana nodded. "Go to her," she said and Miss Parker walked up to the car.

In the meantime Moana turned to Lyle.

Miss Parker slowly opened the door to the red car and looked inside. She almost started to cry as she saw her daughter sit there all quiet. She had missed her so much!

"Trinity, baby," she whispered softly.

Slowly Trinity turned her head; she looked up and met Miss Parker's eyes.

As Miss Parker saw the look in Trinity's eyes, she backed away in pure horror. She had never seen eyes as cold as the little girls. And the look she gave Miss Parker made the blood freeze in her veins.

"Trinity," Miss Parker whispered weakly. "It's your mommy."

"Get away from me," Trinity's voice was cold as ice as she spoke. She sharpened her eyes and Miss Parker felt dizzy. She had lost her forever, Trinity was gone. Miss Parker started to feel dizzy again, she felt herself hit the ground, and then everything went dark.

"Mommy is evil… mommy has to die…"
