10. Chapter 10

Carmen screams. Logan catches Kelsey as she falls. Carmen runs in the room and quickly kills the remaining guards in the room with a gun. "It's my fault, I said the place was clear," Logan mutters as he holds Kelsey on the ground.

All the sudden her stomach starts to suck the blood back up. Carmen watches in horror and Logan in fascination and hope. The hole starts to close and a bullet pops out. The hole quickly turns into a scab and then turns into nothing more than a white circular scar where the bullet had gone. Kelsey gasps and her eyes flutter open.

She sits up on her elbows and breathes slowly as Logan rye to help her up but she shies away from his touch. She stands and the green in her eyes have gotten brighter. I guess coming back alive will do that to you, Logan thought.

"We need to check the other rooms," Carmen says breaking the awkward silence and jogs throughout all the rooms checking and clearing while Logan and Carmen struggle to keep up.

The second to last room makes Carmen stop and stare. In jars throughout the room are organs. In glass door freezers are vials of blood. "This is the lab," Kelsey says stating the obvious and moving on to the next with a doubtful Carmen following. The next room they walk in has cort boards everywhere with different color pin points on a world map and pictures stuck to another board with matching pins. Another board is full of everything about Carmen. Pictures. Tests. Articles. Anything. While Carmen focuses on that in silence Kelsey does he same with her own board. Logan looks at the one with the map and pins. A picture of a much younger Kelsey is pinned with a red dot and on the map it shows a red pin in the middle of Siberia, Russia. There are 4 other pins with pictures and places in the map. Everything hasn't clicked yet with Carmen and Logan's theories but Logan grabs sticking notes and matches the pictures and pins on the map. He writes the place on the sticky note, sticks it on the matching picture and finishes the rest. He also grabs all the records of Kelsey and the other kids.

"What are you doing?" Carmen finally asks as she watches Logan stuff papers into Carmen's leather back pack.

"I'm putting the rest of the kid's files in here. We have to save them. They're capturing mutants," Logan answers.

Carmen starts to protest but Kelsey cuts her off.

"Can't you see?" She asks Carmen. "They're not capturing mutants, or whatever you call yourselves," she says pointedly to Logan, her green eyes suing with light and horror. "They're making them."
