The soldiers complied and threw their guns to the floor. The russian captain regained his senses. "You may be able to prolong your life, but it's not like you can escape your inevitable death." The man's blue eyes stared deeply into his attacker's. 'Does she have any idea what she has gotten herself into?' He thought to himself as he awaited the attackers to escape.

Lian didn't answer. When Gordon retrieved Kathy and strapped her in, Lian sealed their escape by first shooting the triggers off the other guns, then ejecting the magazine of the one in her hand and shoving it in to her pocket. Then she tossed the empty gun into the bushes. Kicking the russian man in the head to get a head start, she jumped into their car, and yelled "Go!" Gordon was amazed and scared at the same time. "W-we're gonna need to do something with this car.." He began. "They'll recognize it...and this girl, too...how can we." "Quiet." Lian began. "I-I'm not sure how we're going to get out of this. But atleast we did something good for a change."

The gaurds just watched them leave. The russian man holding his hand over the eye which was knee'd. The man calmly took out his phone and messaged Jeoff of what had occurred. "Damnit! The man and woman are to be killed." He ordered and wondered if he should tell Faith. He shook his head, he'll do it when the meeting with Lian and them starts.
Kathy slowly began to stir in the car. "Ugh..." She said as she put a hand to her drowsy face. Being drugged twice could really stir up a mind.

Gordon pulled into the garage, and made sure it was sealed before moving the girl into the house. "Why do you think the police were after her...she doesn't look to be out of her teen years..." Gordon asked his wife, as he studied her. "I'm not sure...she looks like one who wants to avoid people...I doubt she commited a crime, those weren't ordinary police...well, we can ask her, she is coming to." They watched as Kathy slowly came awake. "Those must have been some pretty weak tranqs..." Gordon commented. "If she's already coming to. They probably wanted her awake as soon as possible after capture." "Welcome back." Lian greeted Kathy with a smile.

Kathy rubbed her eyes then looked at the people confused. "W-who're you?" She then remembered her father's proposal and must've sent her to some other people. "No! I refuse to join a school of lies!" She shouted at them. Inside she was scared but she was determined to stick by her answer. If only Jeoff had introduced the school to her earlier then she wouldn't be so stubborn, but he didn't want to get her involved.

"Relax." Lian told her in a comforting voice. "We're that couple in the car you ran into. We dealt with the men following you...do you know who they are." Gordon interrupted. "Excuse my wife's lack of introduction. I am Gordon Mapford, the man who designed the uhh...radar near the cliff. And this is my wife Lian." "Gordon...could you get something warm..maybe a blanket or a warm drink." "Certainly." and he left for the pantry. Meanwhile, Lian was curious. "And also...what is this "school of lies"?"

Kathy relaxed a bit more. "I think they were ordered by my father to take me back to him." There's alot to explain to the couple but she should pass on the truth while she could. "I don't think that's a radar or a defensive system. It's just a lie. My father wanted to put me through a school to put me into the government." She began.
"Yesterday... A friend of mine fell off the cliff by the stone, I'm sure you know about it since you're the one that found it. Well... I jumped with him and we ended up in the Mist. There was ground... There was some grass... We could survive. My father, and I'm sure others, have made this city into a lie. There is nothing stopping us from going out into the real world except our own fears." She sighed, she must be sounding crazy. "I'm sure you're both familiar with the constant missing people.. Well.. I think they were behind it. My father gave me three options now that I know the truth.. The school, something called reconditioning... Or death.." She felt like crying more than ever but she kept her head straight. She wont be able to keep away from the gaurds but she knew that if these two were able to do something she would need them.

This was all so much information too take in all at once, but Lian understood it. "The public needs to know about this...why has the goverment hidden this from us...Gordon!!" The englishman came running back with a wool blanket. "Yes?" Lian relayed all that was said from Kathy, and gently laid the blanket upon her. "So...that's what I designed to house..." Lian inched up to him "This needs to get out...but she says if we get to know TOO much, we'll be killed or somehing called "reconditioned" I don't really want to figure out what that means. Since we're adults, the other option isn't for us." "And this explains all the confidential things my boss refused to mention...I was never aware our government was so...so...corrupt." Gordon sat in the recliner opposite to the sofa, to conduct some thinking. "Well...if what you say out there exsists...then this enviroment we live in must be man made...I'm only assuming though."

Kathy looked at the two and knew what she had to do. "You two need to get word out on the truth... I can't.. And no one else will." She explained and sat up a bit. "And... To keep you two safe long enough to do that.. I have to get taken.." She said. She knew what she was doing. She didn't care as long as the truth came out. This isn't for the city's sake rather for mankind's sake. How long can they really live in one city? More people go missing than in a war. This had to get out.

After much pondering, Gordon came up with an idea. "I got it! In two days, my wife will be working as a technician for the new installation. If my hunch is correct about the enviroment being artificial, than a computer virus should mess with it...perhaps recede or even deleted the barrier. The entire city will see it. and the government will have no choice but to confess to everything. We'll just need time. Lian will need to study all the components, so I can breed a virus that can target certain areas. This will be perfect! And afterwards, I'll burn my breeded virus to a floppy, and you, Lian will upload it through the computers of that installation. It'll will spread over the governments mainframe, to all other installations!" Allowing Gordon to babble on like a mad scientist, Lian turned to Kathy. "You can stay for as long as you see fit...granted, if you do decide to leave...the front entrance might not be the best way...after all, we can't get this truth out if we are caught." The woman patted the high schooler on the head. "Take it easy, okay?" and she left for the pantry.

Kathy shook her head. "You don't understand. They'll be searching for me.. If they find me with you they'll know and it'll foil the plan. I'm going to go take a walk and let them take me. I know they'll be able to find me." She said and stood up, despite the drowsy feeling. She loved their plan, to have a world again, but wouldn't they use it against them. "What if they tried to lie and say that they are heroes. That they took out the Mist. Then they would have more control! They would just expand the city and own everything." She said then put her hand to her head. She had a bad migrane.

Gordon laughed. "With the entire sky just vanishing and all that? No chance the public would believe them." Lian forced a smile. "Be on your way then..." Was all she could say. Neither of them felt very good about sending this girl on their way to the government, but, this would eventually pay off. "Good thing Maricia showed me how program all this stuff...we wouldn't be able to reveal the truth any other way." He then came by his wife and wisked her off her feet like he usually does when he is excited. "I'm hungry...let's get something to eat." He graoned loudly. Lian pushed her lips to his. "We'll need to take my car though. Those guards will recognize your old jalopy."

"Thank you... For all of your help." She said and stood up then left. She didn't know this part of town well but knew to just keep going south in order to get to her house. she wanted to see Matt first.
Jeoff shook his head. This was getting bad, he couldn't wait until the meeting. He sent another text to Faith. "Big trouble, someone attacked the gaurds who were escorting my daughter and took her."

"Eh?" She took out her phone again and looked at the new text message she had recieved from Jeoff. Faith walked over to her chair and lowered herself to it to sit down. This day was a rather bad one and she didn't like it at all. "Lynn, I'm sorry, but I'll have to leave..." She sounded calm, but she was really annoyed. She stood up from the chair and walked passed him quickly. "Don't leave this room." Faith walked out the door and quickly ordered two guards to watch the door.
"You two! Come with me and no questions!" She barked.
The two guards escorted her to another car, other than her own personal one, and she quickly got in. One entered to drive and other went into the passenger seat. "We must go meet Dr. Bou...That man is in big trouble if he did what I think he did. That damned man."
They drove rather quickly to the silo, and parked far from it. They all exited the car and began to walk to the Silo. "Faith Hill. Here's my ID." She flashed her ID and asked for the two guards to wait at the entrance. "Dr. Bou...I'm very disappointed." Faith muttered, while she walked up the steps of the building.

Before Faith could reach the room Jeoff stood up and went to a case and opened it and took out a vile. "They're going to think they could recondition me.. Think they're going to kill me.. Hah... They could only dream to defeat a genius like me..." He mumbled and equipped a needle to it but put a pouch over it and slipped it into his pocket. He then sat down in his chair and awaited the woman to enter.
