Illusion 2
The lab techs seemed to take forever. So Sarah urged them to hurry. The last thing she wanted was the boys attempting to use in here. Even if he collars would stop them before they managed to do very much Sarah didn't want them hurting themselves. She was relieved when the nurse finally called her examination complete and the guards started to move them to a holding cell. Sarah went with them and waited inside the cell for the tranquillizer to wear off.
She sat there and waited until she heard Pogue moan. "What the fuck happened?" she heard him say. Sarah almost laughed. She walked over to Pogue's gurney. "Pogue?" she said "Sarah?" he said, "What happened? Where's Kate?" said Pogue he obviously thought he had been kidnapped. "Kate's fine she's still in Ipswich" said Sarah. "Then why are you here and where is here?" said Pogue. He tried to move his hand and found that he couldn't "Sarah why am I tied up?" said Pogue. "Its ok I'll release you in a minute" said Sarah. "Release me now I've got to warn the others" said Pogue
"Pogue the others are next to you, try to relax your safe, no ones going to hurt you," said Sarah. "Sarah what is wrong with you untie me so we can leave" said Pogue. She heard Tyler moan, "Not yet I've got to check on Tyler sit tight all right," said Sarah.
Pogue put his head back down in frustration. Sarah was acting way to weird for his blood. He closed his eyes for a second and then tried to use. The second he tapped the power he felt a blinding pain in his temple. He screamed in response. Sarah came back over "Pogue stop trying to use, its only going to hurt you more if you try" said Sarah. Pogue relaxed with a sob. "Sarah help us, why is this happening?" he whispered.
"Shush its ok, I'll tell you everything in a minute, but I've got to see to the others." Said Sarah.
Then she thought about it and released the straps on his legs and the rest of him. "Sit up slowly, and don't mess with the collar It'll shock you if you do, move around a little, you need to get the tranquillizer out of your system" said Sarah.
Then she moved towards Tyler's gurney. Pogue sat up slowly and looked around. There were three other gurneys in the room. Each of them occupied by one of his brothers. He looked around there wasn't a fifth so how had Sarah gotten in here? He heard her whisper the same thing to Tyler that she had just said to him. Then she unstrapped him as well. Tyler shakily sat up."Pogue what's happening?" said Tyler
"I don't know yet," said Pogue. He shifted his legs off the gurney and tried to stand up. He wobbled and almost went down. His legs felt like rubber. "Try and walk off the tranquillizer like she said Baby Boy" said Pogue Tyler reached up and touched his neck. "What's this?" he asked. "Its called an inhibitor collar and it shocks you if you try to remove it or use" said Sarah. She had moved towards Reid and was whispering the same thing she had said to them to him. Then she unstrapped the struggling teen. He sat up quickly and then leaned on his arm when the swift movement made him dizzy. "What the fuck is going on?" said Reid. "I'll explain in a moment try to remain calm," said Sarah "calm? Girlfriend I just woke up strapped to a table I am anything but calm right now" said Reid. "Well then use that energy to walk off the drugs effects" said Sarah "how do you know the drugs effects?" said Tyler. "Yeah how do you know that?" said Pogue. He was trying to walk and he was all wobbly doing it.
"I'll explain in a second" she said then went towards Caleb. "You can start by explaining why you shot us," said Caleb "wait she shot us?" said Reid he took a wobbly step towards her. "I'll explain everything in a second just hold on," said Sarah. She was working on releasing the straps. She finally released the last one and Caleb sat slowly up. "You need to move around, walk off its effects" said Sarah.
Caleb glared at her but slid his legs off of the gurney. Slowly he lowered his feet to the floor. He had to hang on to the gurney to keep from falling. He refused Sarah's offer of assistance.
"Start explaining" said Caleb. "Yeah start with where the fuck we are and why you ain't tranqed" said Pogue. "Well you're in area 51 and I'm not tranquillized because I work here," said Sarah. "You what?" said Caleb "we're where?" said Tyler.
"I'm sorry Caleb I know your angry" said Sarah. "Angry? Angry doesn't even come close to what I'm feeling right now" said Caleb. He turned away from her and started hobbling around the room. She looked at the others and they all looked away, except Tyler. He looked hurt but still he asked "why? we trusted you" said Tyler. "I know and I'm so sorry I never wanted to hurt you guys," said Sarah. "But you did" said Tyler then he hobbled towards his friends. The others had put their hands on Caleb's back in a comforting gesture.
Sarah's betrayal was hitting him the hardest and that hurt her the most. She turned and signaled for them to unlock the door. She walked out and stifled the tears rising to her eyes. She loved Caleb, honestly loved him and the last thing she wanted was to hurt him. She walked down the hallway and ran into the professor. "So how did it go?" he asked
She sighed, "They hate me," she said. "They'll get over it especially when they realize you're their only real friend here" said the professor. "God I hope so" said Sarah. She sat down and put her head in her hands.
The professor put his hand on her shoulder "give them time Hun, but in the meantime we can always see how bad it really is?' said the professor. "Isn't it bad enough I already spied on them?" said Sarah "yes but they didn't know you were" said the professor. "Besides remember all the perks your abilities have brought you?" said the professor. Sarah smiled "yeah but its so damn hard to maintain in that much steam" said Sarah. The professor laughed and flicked on a switch. The room the boy's were in came into view.
They were arguing about something. The professor turned up the microphone amplifier.
"I say swe just bust out of here" said Reid "yeah but what about these collars," said Pogue. "What about them, you don't believe her do you?" said Reid. "She could be telling the truth on that part Reid" said Tyler. "Do you want to stay around here and let the scientists play pin cushion?" said Reid.
"No not really but I want to know what's going on first?" said Caleb. "What's going on is your girlfriend betrayed us to the fucking government man" said Reid Sarah lowered her head, that had just made her feel awful. The professor thumped her on the back. "I don't know we should at least hear her out" said Caleb "hear her out man are you listening to yourself?" said Pogue.
"Pogue she has to have an explanation for this" said Caleb. "Look man I like her to, or I used to but she fucked us all right get over her" said Pogue. "Not necessarily we don't even know why were here" said Tyler. "Were here to be government guinea pigs what else to you think we are here for?" said Reid.
Sarah sighed this was going to take a lot of work to regain their trust. "Now might be a good time for some heart to heart," said the professor. "Or to let them vent?" said Sarah. The professor rose his eyebrows "what did you have in mind?" asked the professor. "I'm going to explain then let them vent their anger" said Sarah. "How so?" said the professor
"By letting them attack me," said Sarah. "Ah Sarah your forgetting one thing" said the professor. "What's that?" said Sarah. "If we remove the collars the first thing they'll do is head for the door" said the professor. "Then don't put us in a room with a door" said Sarah. "Sarah honey I know you can fix the damage they do to you but this isn't a real good idea what if they kill you?" said the professor "getting hit by a train didn't kill me and it was far less painful then this" said Sarah.
