Chapter 3:

Cammie looked at the 14 year old girl who was unconscious. The girl was laid on a metal bed and her hand was handcuffed to it. The girl was beautiful, Cammie noticed, what made her turned into a monster? The girl's finger moved, Cammie quickly moved towards the girl and whispered on her ear, "Are you awake?"

The girl opened her eyes. Faster than a blink, her leg kicked Cammie's head. She banged her head on the metal bed, before Cammie could get up, the girl's leg pinned her down.

The agents that were watching from behind the glass busted in, one of them was Zach. "Let her go!" he commanded.

"Well? What are you guys waiting for? Shoot me!" The girl yelled at them as she wrapped her legs around Cammie's neck, choking her. "I can't take all those killing anymore!" She continued.

Zach walked towards her, gesturing his hands to calm the girl, "Just let her go, then we can talk about all this nicely." The girl nodded and released Cammie. Cammie fell on the floor gasping for oxygen. Zach helped her up, "Are you okay?" Cammie nodded.

After all that ugly beginning, Zach managed to have the girl in an interrogation room and argued with Cammie about who will interrogate the girl.

He sat in front of the table that separate him and the girl, who was eating a chocolate. "So, you like chocolate? My wife likes chocolate too." He said to her with his softest smile.


"Hmmm…" The girl answered as she rolled her eyes and bite more chocolates.

"Right, since you're the kind that would love go to the points…" He said as he opened a folder full of information about the girl. "Scatach is it?"

Scatty nodded, "Call me Scatty." She offered.

"So..Scatty, what makes you kill people?" Zach asked her with the basic question.

Scatty put down her chocolate and turned her gaze to her hands. "Why ask if you already know?"

"Excuse me?"

"What? Didn't your boss tell you?" She smiled in mockery.

Zach lost his patience. He slammed the folder and got up. "I am not here to play games, I am here too…" He was interrupted by the knocking on the watching glass. "Wait!" he commanded the girl as he went through the door.

Outside he found Leo Brown, the CIA director. His boss wasn't happy, Zach could see it through his eyes. "What do you think you are doing?" He yelled at Zach.

"Sir?" Zach asked him.

"Just gas her already, get it done with it!"

Zach was about to argue more, but his boss left and slammed the metal door behind him. Zach turned his heels and went back into the interrogation room. "Sorry about the interruption." He smiled at Scatty.

Scatty looked down at the table and put her chocolate down, "Well, shots or gas?" She asked him.

Zach was stunned to hear what the girl just said. She knew about the executions process. "Well, can you give me the reason why is should kill you?" He said as he picked up the half eaten chocolate and threw it to the rubbish bin.

Scatty wasn't joking around anymore. She leaned back and laced her fingers on the table. Her eyes didn't meet his, "Because I'm one of them." She mumbled and apparently he could hear her.

"Them?"

"Well, they forced me to be one of them." She mumbled again.

"What?" Zach turned to the glass which looked like mirror form the inside but actually a window from the outside. "We don't have much time." The girl didn't move. "Look, your name is Scatach Akehurst. We searched every Akehurst family and none of them had records about you." He exhaled a huge amount of air, "Besides the other Akehurst family I knew were…" He blinked twice before finally getting up and knelt down next to the girl. "Safe and Sound?" He asked her and she nodded.

Scatyy sang, " all that's dead and gonna pass tonight."

Zach continued, "Just close your eyes the sun is going down, you'll be alright, no one can hurt you now."

They sang together, "Come one don't fight, little girl you're safe and sound."

"We don't need to kill her!" Zach said to Leo Brown. "When I came here, no one killed me."

"It's different," his boss answered, "You weren't dangerous."

"She was held in safe and sound!" Zach was done; he slammed the table that separated him and his boss. "She was way less dangerous than I am. Safe and Sound is a program that was made by the Circle to hold someone as captive. They weren't hold in strange warehouse or deserted island, they were around us; schools, offices, or even here."

"I know what safe and sound means!" His boss yelled. Leo stood up and gestured at Zach to sit down. "Fine, let's do what I did to you." He sat back and Zach leaned closer, "When you changed side from the Circle to ours, Solomon volunteered to be your guardian."

"I volunteer to be hers." Zach cut. He didn't need further more explanations from Leo.

Leo rolled his eyes. He pulled some papers from his drawers and shoved them to Zach. "Talk this through with your wife."


"Who am I suppose to be again?" Scatty said as she entered the Goode's house. She sat down on the dining chair while Cammie sat across her.

"Hyacinth Goode." Cammie answered her. "Our daughter." She looked at Zach who was coming into the house with a luggage full off new clothes for Scatty.

Scatty looked at him too, "A second chance and a new life?"

Zach put the luggage down and nodded, "A new life."
