Chapter 7:A Beauty That's Thin, White, and Rich

[Jack Kruschev]

Anthony led Kaleb into a large room filled with screens, which were turned off. They turned on once they sensed Anthony's presence. "This room was designed and built by myself just in case something like this happened," I proudly announce. "Each and every person who enter this faciity is documented and a DNA sample is taken from them, where they know it or not. I can keep track of anyone and everyone in this facility. The patients and experamental subjects of which I keep here are in purple, everyone else, in green."

As the screens turned on, several hundred dots started appearing and moving about on them.

"Now, time to find the patient who is in the walls," I finish.

[kaleb]

Kaleb squeezed himself through the door Anthony led him to, revealing a room filled with screens of different sizes all about. It vaguely resembled a typical security room, but as Anthony explained how it worked and it's purpose it became more effective then a normal security room. "Most impressive. He shouldn't have gotten to far. He would have had to find a room that was the furthest from any security center while leaving a trail of goop to mislead security, plus gather up things to reach the ducts." Kaleb replied as he watched the screens, watching green dots scurry about franticly; most likely belonging to the other security guards.

[Jack Kruschev]

Anthony walked up and inidcated to several screens as he went. "I think we should have the majority of the patients and subjects moved to these rooms. This would leave it to be much easier for us to find Virgil. I already have men at every possible exit of the building, including the sewege, air ducts, and roads. Do you have any suggestions?" I ask.

[Malak Al-Dabaran]

"Someone from the office is going to meet us." Malak informs Tuesday. He has a bad feeling about things. "We're going to meet the person at a book store to talk more about it. We'll take a cab." Malak states before hailing a cab. He has this eerie feeling that they are being following. While in the cab, he looks out the window as the driver takes them to the particular book store. One called May Day Books.

Tyler watches as his Malack and Tuesday get into a cab. He begins to sprint along side it and then jumps onto the hood, making as little car movement as possible. Thankfully, he is invisible and undetectable, so he will go (most likely) unnoticed. He doesn't particularly care where they are going, but he plans to wreak havac where ever they may take him.

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

When the tattoo is done, I gently put my shirt back on. I am very excited, but now, I probably should rejoin my brother. "Well, I would love to come back. Thanks. If you like, you could probably travel with my brother and I to Ireland to watch his evaluation at Genetech. It might be interesting, and then you can hang out with us a bit more!" I suggest.

I do feel uneasy so I am eager to leave Cuba for now. I suppose I acted very foolishly so it is good to get away before anything bad happens to me.

[Maeve Cullen]

Maeve has no idea what Lonnrot meant, so she ignores it and pushes his voice from her head. She weighs the pros and cons of going with them before making a decision. "Okay, that sounds fun! I'm sure Jeff won't mind covering for me." She states, cleaning her stuff up before making her way back into the lounge with Hilja.

She hoped they wouldn't be interested in running any tests on her during this visit, but they had already checked up on her a few weeks ago. She asks Jeff to cover for her before heading to where Lonnrot was sitting with Hilja.

[Hilja Kukkanen/Sasha Pisarev]

We head back out front to the lounge to meet my brother. I don't see Alexei though, which is a huge relief. "Hey Lon, can we take Maeve with us to Ireland. I think it would be neat to have her see this patient too!" I say to my brother. I hop up and down a little while I wait for his reply on this matter.

[Dr. Lonnrot Kukkanen]

I sigh and say, "Very well, what the hell." I don't particularly care at the moment, the last few days had been stressful and any more wouldn't matter. The new girl seems fairly annoying, but I don't particularly care. "When do you want to hippity-hop away sis? First, I want a new tattoo." I pull up my sleeve to reveal a broken hourglass with a tree growing from the sands. "I want to have a partner on the other arm. The tattoo symbolizes that life comes form the death of another, in case your wondering."

(I honestly plan to get a tattoo like this when I'm 18.)

[Tuesday DeCastro]

Tuesday nodded. "A cab sounds pretty good." She's been walking all day, and wouldn't mind sitting down. Beside that, she was feeling a little paranoid. She climbs in the cab next to Malak.

She looks out the window, resting her forehead on the smooth, cool glass. She feels like someone is watching them, she looks at Malak.

"Perhaps I'm just being paranoid...but do you feel like we're being followed?" She asks. "I don't know, I just can't shake this feeling." She crosses her ankles.

[Malak Al-Dabaran]

Just as Tuesday says that, they hear a thud on the roof. Malak is so alarmed that he rolls down the window and peaks at what it could be. He sees nothing. "Yeah, I am just not feeling right about things. I've been paranoid since I left Allwhere. I don't even know what to do about it." Malak states. He feels like he is going crazy. "I think if this keeps going, I'm going to have a mental break down or something."

[Tuesday DeCastro]

Tuesday hadn't noticed the thud on the roof. She was too caught up in her own thoughts. She watched Malak roll down the window and look up on the roof. She suddenly feels a chill, and shudders, she bites her thumb nail.

"We'll just have to lay low for a while." She says, decisively. "We're probobly just paranoid from this whole ordeal. So maybe a little break would do us some good."

[Malak Al-Dabaran]

"Yes, we should request some time off." Malak agrees. They are dropped off at the bookstore, where they meet a woman named Miranda, who works there. Miranda is also a member of the party.

"Here are the medicines Miranda, just make sure you get Horacio out of the city. Take him somewhere safe and secret. Warn the others to watch out and lay low. Tuesday and I are taking some time off. It's just been too strange lately and I am too stressed to work right now." Malak says to Miranda. Miranda is a petite hispanic woman with glasses and long black hair. She looks a little like a librarian.

"We will try to find some place safe for you to stay. Someone will meet you at Hyde Park. They will bring you someplace safe to stay if you are afraid." She informs Malak.

When he has handed off the medicines to Miranda, Malak turns back to Tuesday. "What do you think we should do?"

[Tuesday DeCastro]

Tuesday smiled pleasently at Miranda while her and Malak spoke. She feels a little excited about the thought of some time off, but at the same time, shes not exactly sure how enjoyable its going to be, after all, her and Malak needed to lay low. And laying low just wasn't much fun, it was, however, more fun than feeling watched.

"Perhaps we should take a cab or a bus to Hyde Park?" She says, suggesting a bus because its cheaper. "I don't know about you, but I'm a little shaken up, even a bit frightened over this mess. I think meeting someone whos going to bring us to a place to hide is a good idea."

[Malak Al-Dabaran]

"Yes, a bus is a good idea, and buses seem safe." Malak agrees. They say goodbye to Miranda, then head outside for the bus stop to catch a bus. Indeed it is a lot cheaper and Malak wonders why he didn't think of that before.

"I wonder where the safe place is." Malak asks himself more than Tuesday. A large bus pulls up. It is a bendy bus, one that is a double bus with an accordian shaped middle section for taking turns.

"Oh well, it has been a while since I've had time off."
