Chapter 3
Still strapped to the hospital bed, the lost girl was consumed in deep thoughts. Even though she was quiet, her face said a million words. Confusion, depression, anxious, angry, revenge... the list goes on. 'Who are these people. How did they escape from those guards? There was over 100 guards.' But before she could get too deep, she started hearing voices outside of the room.
”Wait! What? You can't just do that!” a voices rose up.
”Gabe, just lis-” Henry reasoned.
”No, she's hurt and I don't just mean physically. I saw the pain in her eyes when we met in the woods. I can't explain it, but she was running for a reason, and i'm going to find out why.”
”So you had some special 'connection' with this girl?”
”Oh, shut up. But just give her a chance. I'm sure she'll wanna talk after not being held down against her will to a hospital bed, and also if she gets some food in her system too, don't you think?”
Henry knew he wasn't going to win that argument, so with a sigh of frustration, ”Fine, but if you get killed in the process, that's on you.”
”Deal.”
As he headed his way towards the door, the girl was in deep thought again. 'Why would he stand up for me? But they think of me as a threat.' He finally opened the door and came into the room.
”Uh, hey. H- How you feel?” Gabe stuttered.
”Fine.” She stammered, ”I... I won't kill you. Just so you know.” she gently laughed.
”A kill me? You a, you heard that?” 'How did she hear that? We were in another room.'
”Yeah.”
”Ah, jeez. No, Henry was a little, um..” Gabe faltered. He took a deep breath and continued. ”So look, so far no one here trust you.”
”Not the first.” The girl smirked.
”If you want us to trust you. Then you have to help us out a little bit, okay?”
The girl pondered on what he said. 'How can I help him out? They all want to kill me for all I know.' But this strange girl was curious about who they were. So with a lot of hesitation she said, ”I'll answer your questions. Only if you answer mines.”
”Ok then, let me get those straps off,” he comforted with a smile.

”Sir, there's something you need to see. A lady said motioning Henry to come over.
”What is it?” Henry replied.
”While she was unconscious I took a blood sample...” she explained leading him to the computer, ”She had WCTGPP, in her bloodstream, also a lot of other chemicals.” They both took a look at all the information on the screen running through the list of chemicals.
”Wait, I haven't seen that one before,” Henry questioned confused. ”Or any of those.”
”Me either, sir, and she seems to have a lot in her. She should have died with at least one of these new chemicals going in her system, but there's more than eighty on this list.” She faltered, ”Could she be the one, who we heard the rumors about.” The nurse proposed fearfully.
”No. No I doubt that. As you said, she should be dead.” Henry reasoned, ”I think our guest should stay with us a little longer.” He reached for his walky-talky and warned security about what they found out and told them to find the girl.

Soon after Gabe and the girl was sitting in a cafeteria eating a sandwich. The girl started looking around, observing the way people act. 'This place is... weird... People aren't holding weapons to my head -besides that one guy in the woods- and forcing me on the ground or anything. It's so different here. I need to lea-'
”What?” she shuddered.
”You must really like that food to not hear me.” he laughed, ”I asked if the food was good.”
”It's fine.”
She was still worried about what might happen if she trusted these people. Just as she was about to ask him something, the group of kids with Gabe the night they found her; sat down right at her table.
”Hey,” blurted Natalie.
”What's up, guys,” Marly said grabbing an apple.
”Isn't she that weird girl we found a few days ago?” Izon muttered into Gabe's ear.
”Yeah.” the girl faltered.
”H- how did you hear me?”
”With my ears.” She smirked quietly.
”Not even I could hear him a- ouch! Gabe, you just kicked me.” Marly protested.
Gabe shot a glare towards Marly and silence sat at their table for five minutes while they ate their food. But the girl couldn't keep quiet any longer. ”Um..” She began, ”Well, I have a question... So, who are you people.. And, uh, how did you find me that night? And no secrets.” she demanded.
”That's two questions.” Gabe snickered, ”But I'll answer them both. We are apart of RGST, and we normally don't leave here, but that night we wanted some fresh air.”
”Wh-”
”Nope my turn.” he provoked, ”Why were those people chasing you, and why were you in the woods too?”
”I kinda did something they didn't really agree with. I was in the woods because where I live is near it.”
”I thought you said no secrets?”
”Yeah I did, but it seems like there's a lot your hiding from me too.” She quivered as she gave a sharp look to Marly, and silence hit them again.
”How could you hear me earlier?” Izon asked.
”And also how are you almost completely healed from your bullet wound?” Gabe chipped in.
The stranger girl looked down in fear. 'I just can't. They could use it against me. Or I can hurt other people.'
”Tell me first, what is RGST?” demanded the girl.
”I asked first,” Izon instigated.
”I'm not sure if I can trust you yet.” she muttered.
”No, no, no, we asked first.” Marly snarled in frustration.
Natalie, Izon, and Marly raised their voice and started integrating the quiet girl. Everyone in the cafeteria looking at them and was watching them go at it with each other.
”Everything all right?” questioned one of the guards coming to there table.
”Y- yes.” the girl muttered quietly, ”I was just leaving.”
”No, actually you can't. You'll be staying with us for a few days.” Gali announced as he reached for the girl's arm. The frightened girl started putting up a fight, not just to start one, but because she was scared of what they may do.
