6. Waiting For Tally

Disclaimer: I don not own Uglies.

General POV

Dr. Cable walked out of the interrogation room. She had a cruel smirk on her face, but it was a satisfied, cruel smirk. She had just met with Tally Youngblood. And Tally was now on her way to the Smoke.

She was very pleased right then. The Help-Us-or-You-Don't-Turn ultimatum had worked well. Tally had been scared out of her wits. Now all she had to do was wait for the tracker to activate. She had the tracker's monitor up on her office wallscreen all the time. Now all she had to do was wait.

Days passed. Still no signal. Tally was reaching the end of her time. Dr. Cable was getting suspicious, but she shoved those beside.

"Maybe she ditched on us," Maxamilla Feaster had suggested one day, but Dr. Cable shot down the idea.

"She'll do it. She wants to be pretty. It'll happen," the doctor had said. And she was right.

In good time, the tracker finally activated. Dr. Cable sighed with relief. Finally, they would find the Smoke. She pinged Colin Feaster.

"We've located the Smoke. Gather 2 dozen hovercars and enough agents to fill them."

The hovercars set out for the Smoke. In the morning, they reached the location the tracker deemed as the Smoke. The Specials attacked with brutality, grabbing every Smokey in site. But before they had attacked, Dr. Cable had given this order:

"If you find Tally, un-cuff her and bring her to me. If you find an unidentified ugly, sedate him immediately, then take him back to the city. The boy's name is David."
