her black backpack on her back.
    “Where are they?” Michael asked Justin.
    “They were in Ivan’s office but they may be moving. Ivan has ordered the baby terminated and her experimented on,” Justin exclaimed.
    . Michael looked around the room, then made his decision.
    “Out the window, let’s go now” Michael ushered Marie to the window. She climbed up and out the window and into the bushes. Michael turned to Justin, “Buy us as much time as you can.”
    Justin nodded, “I’ll do my best.”
    Michael then climbed out the window and joined Marie. She looked up at him, he took her by the arm and led her out of the bushes. It was a rainy day so the sky was dark and they knew the security down to exacts. They moved past the guards and through the side gate that the guards always left unlocked to make their own movements easier. Justin watched from the window and saw them disappear into the night. He closed the window and calmed his mind. His friends’ lives were now in his hand he had to buy them more time to get as far away as possible before anyone discovered they were gone. Justin sat down on Marie’s bed, rubbing his hands on his head. Suddenly Frederick, Stanley, and Jones entered the room along with three guards, Justin instantly stood up.
    “Where is she?” Frederick commanded.
    “I think she is with Michael in his room.” Justin answered.
    “Then why are you in here? If she is not in her room, why are you?” Frederick asked.
    “I was looking for her and she was not here so I figured she is with Michael. I was about the head that way.” Justin said trying to keep his calm.
    Frederick looked suspicious but waved his hand for the guards to follow him as he left the room.
    Stanley knew Justin too well, “Thank you” he whispered to Justin as he left the room to follow Frederick.
    Justin let out a deep breath and sat back down on the bed.
    Justin could hear Frederick yelling from Michael’s room, “Search everywhere. They have to be here somewhere!” Guards were scrambling in the hallways searching rooms for Michael and Marie. Justin knew it was only a matter of time before they realized they had been tipped off and were gone. He just hoped it will have been enough time for them to get far enough away.

    “It’s been a mother fucking year, can someone explain to me why we still have no fucking clue where they are?” Henry barked at the group. The management had been meeting regularly and plotting and planning and yet none of their plans had worked in successfully finding Michael and Marie.
    “Let’s be honest. Do we really even still need those two?” Bruce asked.
    “Yes, she is the only one to have responded to the treatments and we need to find out why.” Ivan replied.
    “So I take it we have had no success with the new subjects?” Frederick asked.
    “No none, they have all died” Stanley said with a heavy heart. He had buried ten baby girls; each one had broken his heart a little bit more. They didn’t even last a week on the treatments.
    “So, to be short, for some fucking reason this girl is the only female we can find that can withstand and respond to the treatments and none of the remaining four original subjects have shown any DNA modification.” Henry yelled.
    “We have regularly sampled the remaining four and none show any improvement in their ability to naturally heal,” Jones responded.
    “Your fucking formula is a dam failure! All this money and time and no fucking result but one we cannot even fucking find,” Henry yelled.
    “The formula isn’t a failure. It worked. It just doesn’t work on everyone,” Stanley defended himself.
    “Let’s do some math, twenty subjects and only one success, that’s a shitty level of success. I don’t think it is successful I think it was a waste of time and money.” Frederick added.
    Ivan raised his hand for everyone to be silent. “One success is enough to find the key to properly manipulating the
