The sirens were loud. A couple girls started screaming, but were slapped by an elderly woman and they got quite. Corey still looked at Nina with a confused look. Nina was trying to calm down a younger girl and stop here from crying. Corey then noticed a man come in there and trying to get the girls to leave. Most of them left willingly, but Corey just sat there.
"Come on girl, the meetings about to begin and everybody has to be there." Corey still didn't move and was then smacked in the face. Nina who had got the little girl to leave cam back to Corey and dragged her out of the room. Corey was still confused, but Nina just lead the way. Once they got in there a couple men were on stage. Matthias was one of them. Corey started looking around for Trey, but Nina noticing her looking everywhere grabbed her and they sat down.
"Good evening everyone," The commander started. "Now you all know the ID's have been destroyed, but today the illegal third borns are going to be destroyed."
That made Corey shift and her seat. She looked at Nina who just paid attention. Corey just took a deep breath and listened to the rest of what the commander was saying.
"But first while I'm gone I'm leaving all of this in the hands of Roger Symmes,"
Corey watched as Matthias stood up and looked around for Nina then smiled and sat down. Nina was smiling too.
As Matthias sat down he thought to himself, this is it I'm going to control the headquarters. After the meeting was over the commander said goodbye and everybody went to their work for the day.
As Nina and Corey were giving breakfast out to the men she felt a note slip in her hand. She didn't look up knowing that it would give her away. Corey knew it was Matthias who slipped her the note. Once she was done she read the note.
C, I need to talk to you, I'm requesting you as my servant for a while.
As Nina and Corey scrubbed the tables she gave Matthias a little nod. She was smiling to herself and lost in her thoughts when Nina bumped into on purpose to get her out of her thoughts. Corey splashed a little water at her and then went back to working. Corey couldn't stop smiling, but kept working. She had no clue why she was smiling. She didn't like Matthias. Corey thought he was rude and didn't seem to notice Corey very much anyways. I wonder why he asked me to be his servant and not Nina, Corey thought as she finished scrubbing the tables and went back into the kitchen. Nina was already in there she was watching every move Corey made. Nina could tell Corey was smiling and that Matthias slipped her a note, but she didn't know what the note said. She went back to cooking though.
During serving for lunch somebody told Corey she was to go up to Roger's room with food. Once Nina told her where it was she went. Matthias was pacing when she showed up. He looked worried.
What's wrong? She wrote on paper Matthias had given her.
I need to get out this place, and I need your help, he wrote
My help? Why? Corey asked him and then gave him a strange look.
You're smaller which means you won't get caught as easy He explained the rest down on the paper and then Corey left. Corey went back in the kitchen only to get a note from Nina. T wants to meet you in the bathroom tonight usual time, Corey sighed and ripped the note up. She didn't feel like talking to Trey tonight.
Corey finished serving. She was surprised she wasn't called up to Matthias's room, but figured he knew she was meeting Trey that night. Corey then left after done scrubbing the tables to meet Trey. When she was surprised to see two people come out of the vent. One was Trey, but Corey didn't know who the other one was. She decided he would introduce himself.
"Corey this is Lee," Trey said after looking at Corey and she had a confused look.
"Hi," she whispered back.
"Corey, I told you about Lee so now I better get back you to can talk," Trey then crawled back through the vent and left Corey and Lee alone together.
"So your Corey?" He looked at her weirdly.
"Yes" was her only answer.
"Trey says we can trust you, Nina agrees, and Matthias I heard asked you to serve him, but I don't trust you, well not yet," He gave her a once over and then went on. "You could be an imposter like somebody else I know," Lee was remembering Jason who lied to him.
"No, I'm not a liar," Lee looked at her and sighed. He knew she was telling the truth, but didn't want to believe it.
"Fine, I believe you," He sighed again, "You're no Jen, but I trust you," He said and then went back through the vent. Corey then left and went to bed. She was tired from having to wait up so early in the morning. She didn't feel like talking to Nina and just went to bed. Corey knew they trusted her now, but she knew something was going happen in the next few days that won't be good.
