Finding out who you are can be a scary journey...especially when you have no memory of who you are.

On my way to the nurses office, I went over what I was going to say once I got there.
I got to the lab twenty minutes early so I'd have time.
Opening the door I was met face to face with the woman.
"Hey, Chrissy. Is everything-"
"She's dead." I said, immediately feeling myself go off script.
"I'm sorry?" Michelle asks nervously.
"Don't play stupid." I took a step towards her, letting the door slam behind me. "Katherine Munson is dead because of you."
Michelle shook her head, "Don't pretend like I had a choice."
"Her fourteen year old son is without a mother because of you!"
She flinched at my tone. I'm not sure why, but I could tell that hit her hard.
"Stop acting like you know what it's like to have a child!" She shouted, "to lose a child!"
"I'm not pretending like I know shit! You ruined his life!" I raised my voice significantly, "You murdered her!"
"You're not the victim here!"
Snap!
I stare at her wide eyed for a minute before whispering, "I'm not the victim."
A humorless smile cracks on my face, "I'm not the victim!" I laugh, "And you are?"
I shake my head, "I woke up in this shit hole with no memory of who I was, everyone was lying to me, and then-" I took a sharp inhale, "I though I had found someone I could trust."
"Chrissy-"
"Don't "Chrissy.." me!" I shout, "I thought I could trust you! I trusted you and you killed her!"
Tears started forming in Michelle's face, "All I want to do is to get back home to my daughter..."
The sound of the door opening made my head snap around to see who it was.
Lo and behold, Peter Ballard stepped through the threshold, "Christina, it's time to go."
I looked up at the clock to see that it was in fact time to go.
Peter stepped forward and grabbed my wrist, dragging me through the door.
Right before he could open the door, I planted my feet and turned my head to glare at Michelle, "Some people don't deserve to have children..."
I turned back, ready to be dragged through the door when Michelle said, barely above a whisper, "It was your father who put me in this position in the first place."

"Peter's" POV
I felt Christina go rigid through my grip on her wrist.
Looking over to Michelle I ask, "What did you just say?"
I then look up at the camera, and then back at Michelle.
"My what?" Christina asks.
This is news to me, but despite my surprise, I still had to drag Christina out of here before people got suspicious.
"Let's go, before we get in trouble."
She nodded, still in shock, before following me out of the room.
We walked silently, side by side, down the hall. I didn't know what to say. Part of me thinks she might have been lying, but something like that is way to outlandish to make up.
She doesn't deserve this.
She bothers me so much, yet I can't help but enjoy her company. When I told her everything I knew, I told the truth, but I'm just now realizing the gravity of her situation.
My parents were bad people, especially my father. He killed an entire family. He murdered someone's child. He got what he deserved...
Christina on the other hand is truly good. I could that first time in the boiler room when she asked me if I was alright. Even though she should have been worrying about herself at that moment, she put me before herself. She didn't even know me.
As much as I hate to admit it, I've grown attached to her, I can't help it.
Like I said before, good people don't deserve to be lied to.
And I'll be damned if someone with a soul as polluted as Michelle's thinks she can get away with harming her like this.
Though I hate to admit that Christina ever did something wrong, her outburst in the nurses office was beyond reckless.
Therefore I need to ask fast.

After we were dismissed for the day I found myself walking to Brenner's office, which I haven't done willingly in years.
I knocked on the door twice before walking in.
To say he was surprised would be an understatement.
"Henry Creel," Brenner said with suspicion laced in his voice, "what are you doing here?"
I swallowed, not used to hearing that name.
"I would like to report Michelle Cameron."
Brenner nods, "For?"
"She mentioned her father," I closely watched his reaction, the slight widening of his eyes confirmed that it was true, "I figured that would be something you would want to keep secret."
Brenner swallows, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Just following the rules." After that I leave, having nothing more to say.
