Chapter 6
Soon Billy, Michelle and Mr. Cranston were sitting around the table eating.
Michelle had just filled Mr. Cranston up to where she had gotten with Billy.
"Wait you were two months old when they started experimenting on you."
"Yah any way that's where I got up to when it started to rain."
"So now that you got my dad caught up why don't you gone on with your story."
"Lets they messed around with my DNA so that my learning jean was enhanced as well as my physical ability. So as soon as I could walk they started to teach me how to read and write. They split up the learning I was six when they started with the major physical work although they had been teaching me all sorts of sports as well as Marshal Arts, dance and a whole lot of other things."
"So they made you a super kid." Billy pointed out.
"Yes they tried to make shore I was obedient, but they could not stop me from knowing I did not belong there. So when I was ten I broke out of the lab and ran for it. I had to cut the tracking devise from my leg on the first night, so for the last year and a half I have been on the run."
"You have had a very hard life." Mr. Cranston told her. "I would be glad for you to come live here with us."
"Really" Michelle inquired.
"Yes I would love to have you and I don't think Billy would let me say no any way."
"Yah now the hard part" Billy told them. "Make a believable story about how she ended up living with us."
"Well let see you have a point." Mr. Cranston said robbing his forehead.
"I have an idea" Michelle spoke up. "What if my parents abandon me?"
"What?" Billy asked.
"Like this you know how you told Jason we just moved back."
"Yah"
"Well you could always tell them that we had not yet bought a house and we were living in a mobile home." Michelle went on.
"And you went home to find that they had left you here." Mr. Cranston finished for her.
"That would work." Billy said. "And then all we have to do get her into the school recorded so she can sit that test that some kids who travel a lot to find out what grade she will be in."
"So tomorrow I call the school tell them about Michelle and her parents leaving her and her moving in with us." Mr. Cranston said. "And ask if she can come and take the test to find out her year."
"Billy do you think you can trick Jason into believing you?" Michelle asked looking at him.
"Yah I think I can." Billy told her.
"Now what are we going to do about clothes and stuff she can't keep wearing my old clothes."
"Why don't you take her to the Mall tomorrow and get her some, It might be best if you take Kimberly and Trini with you." Mr. Cranston told him.
"If you say so" Billy rolled his eyes.
"Michelle what do you think? Michelle."
Michelle did not answer she had just then fallen asleep.
"Help me get her into the spear room." Mr. Cranston said as he picked up Michelle.
"I will grab Slimmer he is hers now." Billy told his dad as he picked up Slimmer's cage. They soon had Michelle tucked up in bed with Slimmer on the floor beside her.
