Author's Note: Sorry this is a short chapter but I plan to update again tomorrow.

Thanks to my friend, Hannah, for helping me decide what Kate's project would be!

Kate

I was going through some notes when I heard an unfamiliar voice coming from the entrance to our lab. "Is Kaitlyn Bailey here?" I looked up from my notes.

"Uh, yeah. She's over here. Kate?" I turned around to see Wasabi standing with a police officer.

"I'm Officer Wilson. We spoke before. I'd like to speak with you alone, if possible." He glanced at Wasabi.

"Sure. Just close the door."

He sat down before speaking again. "Can you tell me about the project you are working on? We think it may have something to do with your kidnapping."

Well that definitely possible. "I'm working on memory manipulation."

"Like mind control? Why would you want to do something like that?" I shook my head. I knew this would be his reaction.

"No, not mind control. I want to be able to enhance or fade memories. It could help people with amnesia or PTSD. The purpose isn't to completely get rid of painful memories or create false memories. It's to ease the intensity of traumatic memories or recover forgotten memories. I realize that my work is controversial. People would assume that I want destroy or implant false memories, which is highly unethical. Because of that, I've only told a few select people."

"Who knows what you are working on?"

"Officially, only my advisor and his superiors."

"Officially?"

"Well that information goes into SFIT's system. Very few have permission to access the system but this is SFIT. There are at least 100 people at this school who can hack into the system. And that's just the students here. I'm sure there are several others in San Fransokyo who could hack themselves in." Officer Wilson sighed.

"Well have you remembered anything from the three days that you were missing?"

I looked down. "A little," I spoke softly. He looked at me expectantly so I continued. "I remember being attacked in my apartment. He broke in while I was on the phone with Tadashi."

"Do you remember what he looked like?"

"No," I whispered. "I couldn't see his face. I can see him in my head but his face is blurry. He's Caucasian and weighs about 180 pounds. He was tall, about 6'3. That's it."

"Any other memories come back?"

"One. They wanted to know about something. I don't know for sure but it probably was about my project. I wasn't very helpful."

"How many of them were there? Do you remember what they looked like?"

"I was a little too busy drowning to count, actually," I answered harshly, crossing my arms. I wanted to be done with this conversation. He seemed to recognize that I didn't want to talk anymore.

"Well if you remember anything else, don't hesitate to call. Thank you for your time." He left and sighed, putting my head in my hands.

"Hey, Kate. You okay?" I looked up. Tadashi had peeked his head in the room.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Are you really fine or is that code for something else?" I chuckled.

"I'm good," I rephrased.

"Great. So, I was thinking."

"Oh no." He smiled.

"No, its good. I promise." He sat on the edge of my desk. "I was thinking and we haven't been out on a date in a while."

"You want to go on a date with me?"

"Well you are my girlfriend."

"What do you have in mind?"

"It's a surprise." I pouted. "Nope. It won't work. I'm not telling."

I gave up. "Fine."

"Great. You'll love it. Tonight okay?"

"Okay." He smiled and kissed my head before going back to his own lab area. I smiled, wondering what he was planning. He always planned the best dates but he didn't usually keep them a secret. I went back to my notes but we left SFIT not long after I started.
