Chapter 2 THE ALARM.

After doing over 50 laps off the pool the doctor tells me to surface. "Get out"

"Doctor Ainslie" The doctor turned sharply around and snapped

"WHAT!? Cant you see I'm busy here" It was clear the assistant was shaking in his bones.

"Someone's here to see you, she claims to be your sister… a Mrs Vera?" The doctors face lit up in regonisation, then suddenly dropped back into a scowl.

"Okay thank you peter, let her in"

As The doctor goes around the corner to talk to her sister, I duck back under the water and start to swim a bit more. I didn't want to get out. No mater what the doctor could do to me, I didn't care, I didn't want to get out.

About half an hour later I resurfaced only to see everyone gone. I was so confused? They wouldn't just leave me here would they? I lifted myself out of the pool and went over to the far side where the shower room was. Went inside, dried myself off and got changed into my nighty. As I carefully looked around I wondered. Is this my chance to escape? I have tried to escape before but it didn't end too well. An assistant caught me. My punishment was to be beaten with a plank of wood. I don't remember it too well since I was only 7, however, I haven't tried to escape since. But this seemed too easy. They wouldn't just leave in the middle of an experiment with no one guarding me. I was stumped. I had no idea what was going on. And for the first time I was… frightened? I never get scared. Not anymore anyway. I guess the lab did me a favour, it toughened me up as the years went by.

I bet this whole thing is a test. To see if I would escape again. Its probably an excuse to beat the shit out of me. Okay, if that's how they want to play it. Fine. I will just beat them at their own game. I went over to the equipment left behind by the doctor and took some tests for them. Then I jumped back into the pool (with my nighty on) and do 10 laps. I couldn't help but smirk. I bet they thought I was going to run. Well they got it wrong. I thought I would "help" them with an experiment so they "think" they could trust me. So when the times right I will REALLY escape and get out of this shit hole. After the 10 laps I climbed back out the water, my nighty drenched with chlorine water, and took some more tests. But still no one came. The whole pool was silent. Even with my super enhanced hearing I couldn't even here anyone breathing. This really got me confused.

BANG! What was that? BRIN...BRING, BRING, BRING, BRING! That's the fire alarm! We haven't had one of those since CELL 5 flooded and blasted all the equipment. Does this mean it isn't a test, and I just did all this for nothing?

"PROJECT E45, get out of the pool now there's a fire" Peter the assistant shouted.

"What?"

"Just get out the bloody pool and come with me before you get burnt!"

"But its safe in here, I'm IN water" How dumb can he get?

"GET OUT OF THE POOL!" He said as he got his tazer out as if to electrocute me. I did I was told after some convincing. I didn't bother put a towel around me I just followed him. He took me along a corridor I've never seen before. We turned a right. Then a left and walked past several doors that could've lead anywhere. Finally we came to a holt with dozens of lab assistants and doctors all gathered in an enclosed space. Everyone seemed to be looking eagerly at this one door. I glanced over to it. It had big bold writing on it but I couldn't see it clearly enough to read it. I turned around to see where Peter went but I couldn't see him. Instead I saw someone else. Clarissa!

"Doctor Perkins" I say seriously as I walk towards Clarissa. No one can know that's she's nice to me or even acknowledges me. Otherwise she could lose her job. I see Clarissa turn her head. Her face then lights up.

"E45! Where should you be?" Clarissa's face was stern but she still had her gentle kind eyes.

"I don't know. Suddenly the fire alarm went of and an assistant lead me here but he's disappeared. Could you show me where to go?" Me and Clarissa had our own special way of knowing what each other were talking about without hearing them say the exact words.

"Yes, well I suppose I will have too" Clarissa gave a slight smile. She then turned her head towards a doctor. "Sorry to disturb you sir but I am just going to escort PROJECT E45 towards the bunker" The doctor nodded. Clarissa scurried me away in the opposite direction. As soon as we were out of sight of everyone she turned to me. Before I knew it she gave me a great big hug. "Hello E." Clarissa called me that for short.

"Clarissa, I've missed you. Where have you been?"

"I'm so sorry E, the doctor I work for got me busy with a whole load of paperwork." She said glumly. "You know I would of come see you if I could."

"I know" I say. Suddenly something hit me about what Clarissa had said to the doctor. Something like there being a bunker? "Where's this bunker?" Clarissa's face scrunched up in confusion.

"Under the lab why?"

"I have an idea…."
