Elcon City (ON HOLD, Rewriting)

Chapter Ten

She had no orientation since fifteen minutes ago, she didn't quite know which way to go, and she actually knew nothing about the building she was walking in. So in short, she was lost. She knocked down a guard after escaping and 'borrowed' her uniform earlier, so it wasn't too hard walking amongst them. (Save for that one time she got scolded by who she assumed to be the head guard, who told her to help the others.)

She was walking down the hall, reading off the signs on the door. She stopped in her track when she reached a T-Junction. She turned her head left and right, trying to decide which way to go. When she looked to the right from where she was standing, she read a room with a 'Monitor Room' sign. If she could see the whole building, it'll make it easier for her to find them. She was about to turn the corner when she heard footsteps, so she quickly took a few steps back and pressed herself against the wall, waiting for whoever it was to pass and praying they won't turn her way, because if they see her and suspect her, they might find out that she's not really 'Officer Wade'.

When they got closer to her, she realized that they were talking about the prisoners. So she tried to listen carefully, maybe that way she'll gather some information of her team and Rosa.

"I didn't realize humans are getting smarter, I thought the only thing they are able to do is getting more and more dumb." One said.

"They actually managed to hack our system; I heard the new prisoners did it. We underestimated them." The other replied. "They might have hacked our cameras; maybe that's why we didn't see anything odd. But they're back to normal now, Roy fixed it."

They were still talking but their voice trailed off after Trisha saw them went straight without bothering to look her way, they didn't see her. She turned right and ran to the room, but unfortunately, it was password locked. She tried to enter the password to the Monitor Room, and after the third time entering random numbers and words, she realized it was useless.

She forced herself to think. What would the password be?

She has an idea, that the password is 'clone', since it was the first thing that popped into her mind. But she tried to enter it the first time and it was incorrect. She was so sure of it. And then it hit her. Maybe the password is the word clone; just that it's not exactly in that order. Maybe it's an anagram.

She heard footsteps and chatters coming from the corner, she guessed she might have at least 30 seconds to figure it out.

Conel? No. definitely no. Lenoc? Nah. Enloc? Her head tilted up. She then realized what the password was. With her sweaty hand, she entered her guess. And to her luck, it was correct.

Elcon. The password was Elcon.

"Okay, big bro, what's your plan?" Kat asked after they got everyone to the meeting point.

"Eh, I don't really have a whole plan."  He answered.

No, to be honest, he didn't even have any plan at all. Just a simple, get inside, split up, find Trisha, and back to meeting point. No plan.

"Um... okay, care to tell us what it is?" Dan asked while raising his eyebrows.

"Get in, find Trisha, get out." he replied.

"You don't have a plan." Dan and Kat said at the same time and threw their hands up.

Yeah, and he didn't have any idea or guesses as to where she was. They were moving in absolute darkness. As he was walking silently, he looked up to see a camera. Walking silently would be useless if they were recorded by a camera. He tried to decide whether to shoot it or to just leave it since there was no way he could reach that high to tear it down.

He decided to leave it be, but he warned Kat and Dan to stay out of the camera as best as they could, which was sort of impossible, but fine, it was worth trying.

And then suddenly he heard footsteps, and he could hear the clatter of a gun. Kat and Dan turned to him, showing him that they are too, panicked. He gestured for the both of them to move forward slowly. But that didn't last long because a few seconds after he gestured that, a guard wearing a mask showed her or his self, and he or she immediately burst out running after seeing the three of them.

They ran trying to lose the guard, but then he heard the guard calling out. It was a girl's voice. He might not know the voice for more than a week or so, but he knew who the voice belonged to.

"Andrew! Kat! Dan! It's me! It's Trisha."

***

You could say that Trisha was in luck that day, as soon as she scanned through the monitors earlier, she immediately saw Andrew, Kat, and Dan in the C section. That wasn't the only information she got.

She was about to leave and join her team and go back to REX when she heard the small volume of a conversation, and something about it made her change her plan. She was still meeting Andrew, Kat, and Dan. Just not to join them and go back to REX, but to warn them.

"Trisha, we've been looking for you! Where have you been? And why the hell are you wearing a guard's uniform?" Kat asked.

"Long story, we've got no time." She replied.

"No time for what?" Dan said.

"I can't explain, but you have to hurry and get back to REX. Tell them to take out every Imposter in Elcon, you have two days. Three, if you're lucky." She told them.

"Why are you talking like you are not going to help us doing all of this?" it was Andrew who asked now.

Trisha looked at the three of them, hoping they get the message that she, in fact, is not coming back to REX with them. There were things she needed to do that she had to do by herself.

"You are not coming back with us." Kat stated, closing her eyes, wishing she was wrong.

"No, and I need you three to promise me you will not wait for me. Got it?"

Kat, Andrew, and Dan looked at each other with doubt. Clearly torn between doing what she told them to do or to just grab her now and bring her back to REX.

"Come on, please! There are things I need to do and I can't risk losing any of you." she groaned, desperate for them to just do what she told them to do.

"Alright, we will do it." Kat finally said. "But is it true? That you're one of them?"

Trisha nodded sadly and said, "They inserted my parents' DNA and a humanity serum inside a fetus clone, inside me. And they took my blood to perfect them. I just..." she sighed.

"Is Rosa with you?" she continued after Kat and Dan nodded at her answer.

"Yes." They answered in unison.

"Tell her I'll see her again."

And she left.
