Chapter Two: The transformation
When Lyle came to, he noticed that he was tied down with handcuffs. #Good luck with that one, he thought.
Lyle had known how to pick locks like forever and would be able to free him self within minutes but a tall shadow suddenly blocked his sight.
"Hello Lyle," the unmistakable voice of Raines said.
"What the fuck is this?" an angry female voice spat. "Well hello to you too Miss Parker," Raines smirked before opening a gray metal door.
"It is time for you two to help me with a little project," he said. "You see this little machine," Raines pointed toward the shed looking thing that made Lyle sweat a little.
"This is going to ensure my success with the triumvirate and with the help of you two; I am going to prove that I still am capable of starting and finishing a project."
"What does the machine do," Lyle asked nervously. "It's a youth machine," Raines said with a sleazy smile. "And I am going to use it on you, now if you excuse me I need to start this thing up."
"You can't do this!" Miss Parker shouted only to be dragged into the machine while being ignored. "Fuck!" she said sitting down.
" Now come on Parker," Lyle said. "It can't be all that bad." He said this even though he was very uncomfortable with it too. "Oh shut up Lyle," Parker barked.
Suddenly the machine started to shake a little and a bright light flashed leaving them momentarily blind.
As sudden as it began it stopped and then the door opened. "Come out children," the laughter in Raines' voice made Lyle want to strangle him.
When Lyle first saw Parker he couldn't believe his eyes. Right beside him stood a striking young girl with long brown hair in a braid.
Miss Ice queen no longer existed, only an open and warm person was left. He didn't know exactly how he looked but he had an idea. If Miss Parker looked as if she was 14, 15 years so he'd be the same.
"My God, I never believed it would work," Raines exclaimed.
The rest of the crew stood in shock as they processed the turn of events. Raines could not be more pleased with the outcome than he was. The infamous adult twins were now reduced to the infamous young twins.
"If you'll follow me I will show you to your new accommodations," and with that Raines walked out the door clearly thinking that Lyle and Parker would follow him.
The twins walked slowly after Raines just to annoy him. Then a very childish idea struck Lyle. When Willie, Raines' sweeper, walked past him, he pulled his foot out and Willie tripped and fell on his knees.
"Willie," Mr. Raines rasped condescending. "We have no time for childish games. Get up and stay up."
The glare Willie gave Lyle only made Parker and Lyle laugh harder. When Willie fell, the look on his face was priceless.
After another walk around a corridor they were finally in what apparently was a small apartment. The living room was nicely decorated with pictures and flowers. The kitchen was modern with metal workbenches.
"How long are we going to stay like this?" Parker asked very unhappy with the situation. "Until we find a way to reverse the machines doings," Raines answered. "This is where you'll be staying. You will not leave the apartment and if you need anything call this intercom and someone will get you what you need. There are also no phones or computers so there are no way of contacting others. The door will be locked at all times and only I have the room card. I'll see you later," and with that the twins were left alone.
"Great, now what are we going to do," Parker said with a sight. "We are going to call Sydney with the cell phone I snatched from one of the sweepers," Lyle said triumphantly. "Who's?" Parker said with an evil smirk. "Willie," Lyle snickered. "Ok, let's call someone to get us out of here,"
