The lies of Syntec are hidden in me (re-write of 'The Daughter of Syntec')

The start of it all...

Chapter One:

On August 7th, 2003, I was sat on my couch and told by my grandparents that my father, Wesley Nathaniel was murdered. The world seemed so foggy, I was lost without my dad. Ever since that dreadful day, my mom had been out of the picture. Every day since then I have waited for my dad to get the justice he deserved. Yes, I was young but I know my dad would have loved to see me grow up into the young woman I am today. That brings me to today.

It was one of the very rare days that I was home alone. You might be asking Mckinley, why do you still live with your grandparents?" They simply do not want me to be involved with whatever my mom or dad had dived into so deeply. While I had the chance I decided to go through my closet. I reached up to the top shelf and pulled out a box that looked like it came out of the 80s. Along with that was a binder.

I first started with the box. On the top of the box was scribbled in big lettering 'for my little girl, love daddy and mommy'. Reading that single-handedly made me tear up. I rubbed my hand over the top of the box and could feel dad smiling over me. I opened the box, and inside were a bunch of boxes and random things. I took every single one out until I found a tiny box with a code to get inside. It had to be in this box. I rummaged through all the papers that I could find in the box and found a paper that was titled 'Project;863'. I entered the code into the box and it actually opened. Inside was a ring, with the same code written on top in a circle. It was a silver ring and on the side had the letter 'M' engraved into it. I examined the ring closer and engraved it on the band it said 'I will love you forever and always. I put it on my finger and it magically fit? I pushed that to the back burner and opened the binder.

The binder felt like it weighed as much as me. I opened the first page, it was a letter.

' My dearest Mckinley,

You could receive this letter at any point, but it won't come of use until you fit it into your puzzle. You fit into this puzzle that I built after your father died. To help me get justice for him and the things both he and I have done. Our lives have been nothing but simple. But you were the one person that made this chaotic world okay. I know dad is smiling over you and I will too. One thing you have to do is keep yourself and this puzzle, along with anything else you've put your hard work into close to your heart. Don't let anyone push you away from the path that we and you set you on. You can do this. I, Dad, and everyone else believe in you. You will be a great asset to your puzzle.

Love you endlessly Mick.,

Mom.'

All I could do after reading that is choke up and cry. I sat there for a minute or two reading the letter over and over again until I decided to read further into the binder. The first page displayed the word 'Subject 1' in big writing. It looked like a doctor's examination of some sort. His name was Matt Fredrick but also referred to as 'Matthias'. Subject 2 was Samantha Fekete, and Subject 3 was Woodland Demars. I had absolutely no idea who these people were. Then there was subject 4 which was blank. Then subject 5, who was me. Then the rest was just tons of documents. 'Matthias ' stood out to me. I grabbed my MacBook off my table and pushed everything else onto the floor. I opened a tab and entered the name 'Matthias'. It came back with a youtube link. I clicked on it and was brought to the channel. He looked like the photo, this was Subject 1!

After watching his latest video, I saw a red mountaineer. I jumped out of bed scrambling to find something. Where is it? I found the photo and jumped back onto the bed. I compared the photo of me sitting on my dad's lap 'driving' a mercury red mountaineer. What the heck. I immediately created a google chat with his email.

'Hello, I don't know how to start this message off. But, here I am. You might not accept this request but I just want you to know that you can trust me. My name is McKinley Nathaniel. My father Wesley Nathaniel was mysteriously murdered in 2003, and my mom has been out of my life ever since. When watching your youtube videos I noticed a red mercury mountaineer. I attached a photo of me at the age of 1, with my dad in a mercury red mountaineer. I have a feeling that I am supposed to contact you based on a letter I have from my mother. Please contact me back asap. I have a feeling we can help each other.'

And I sent it....

*Bing*

That was fast....
