The Story
Rick's POV
After the strange encounter with our clones, Daniel told us his story and we confirmed his suspisons of Project Tyndareus. Katy's other clone, who we find out was named Sarah, told us that she had met with Topisde executive Marrion Bowles and that she had a Castor clone in her basement, and that Dyad were trying, and failing, to revive the cloning trials.
We gave the pen drives to Cosima who was currently looking at their contents with Katy. We were all seated around a table in the middle of the room and were talking about our seperate lives. I learned that Sarah had an eight year old daughter named Kira, a twin sister named Helena, and that she and Felix were foster siblings. Cosima told me that she grew up in Berkely with her adoptive parents, was currently working in Dyad, and that we had both majored in microbiology. Finally, we found out that Daniel was a 3rd class constable in the Canadian Police Force and had grown up in Ontario with his adopted parents and three younger adopted brothers.
Daniel also told us that he had disappeared because he realised that Dyad was onto him and his life was in danger. He realised that this would be the safest place to go after discovering that his friend Amy was his monitor.
"Well, this is certainly... interesting." Sarah said, choosing her words carefully.
"Well, it's not something that happens everyday." I commented awkwardly.
"So, what do we do now?" Felix asked.
"I guess we should try and find as many clones as possible and report back to Hazel." Daniel answered.
"That would be a good plan." Said Cosima. "But what are you going to do now? Aren't you afraid that Dyad will track you down?"
"I really don't know." He answered looking worried. "I haven't really thought about it much."
"Well you can't stay here" Felix commented, earning himself a glare from Sarah. "No, I don't mean it like that. I mean it wouldn't be safe for him to stay in one place for too long."
"Couldn't Hazel get protection for you?" Chris asked. "She said that her family is extremely wealthy. Surely she could lead Dyad off your trail."
"I guess I could ask. But wouldn't her father realise?" He asked, running the situation over in his mind.
"Are you kidding?" Cosima laughed. "Hazel's father is one of the wealthiest businessmen in North America. You could buy a mansion with his money and it wouldn't even put a dent in his bank account."
"How do you know all this?" Sarah asked curiously.
"I looked her and her family up after you told me about her. They're family history is actually quite interesting. They have deep roots in France but moved to America around 150 years ago. This is completely random but apparently they're distant descendants of Louis XVIII."
"Well that would definately explain why she's so rich." Daniel said."I'll see if she can deter Dyad for me."
"By the way," Sarah started before Daniel could walk off and phone Hazel. "You should tell her about us and ask her if there are any more clones nearby."
"I will." He replied, getting his phone out to phone her.
/Five Minutes Later/
"So, what did she say?" I asked when Daniel returned.
"She said that there aren't any other clones nearby that she knows of." He told us. "She said that she is looking into Dyad and trying to find any others who are associated with the cloning trials. I told her about Marrion Bowels and she said that she suspected they were trying to create more clones."
"I'm just wondering, do any of you know who the originals were?" I asked curiously. "You know, like, the ones who we were cloned from."
"None of us really know." Cosima replied. "Although I am very curious as to who they are myself."
"They probably had some connection to the military." Sarah started. "I mean, if they were wanting to create the 'perfect soldiers', then maybe the original four were in the military."
"That is a high probability," Cosima said. "And it would make sense. They may have even been part of an experiment before they were cloned."
"Well, there's not much we could do to help. Marrion told me all that she could and Hazel will obviously tell us anything that she finds connected to the cloning trials." Sarah said.
"Since there's nothing else to do I guess we should head home and meet up whenever Hazel calls next." I said standing up.
"Wait a minute." Cosima said, running(as fast as she could) into her bedroom before coming back with four pink-covered phones in her hands. "Here, take these. I'll add you're numbers onto the others."
"Uhm, what are these?" Katy asked.
"Clone phones." Cosima answered, to which she received four confused faces.
"We use them to talk about anything clone related." Sarah explained.
"Since you're part of this now, it only makes sense that you'd get them." Cosima said. "Felix, Sarah, Alison, Tony and I already have our numbers on these, but we can add yours."
"Okay, sounds like a good idea." Daniel finished, while we all cautiously took a phone.
Hey! So this is the latest chapter of Seeing Double and this was just kind of explaining to the new characters how the 'clone hierarchy' works. Anyway, next chapter will go more into the past of the Smith siblings and reveal a little bit about Daniel and Peter(before he died, obviously). Anyway, I was also wondering if you guys were wanting to see anything else in the next chapter because I'm trying to not make this story all filler. Anyway thanks for reading and please review.
