Theodora caught up to Reagan and Brett outside. "Is this what it feels like to be you?" Brett was asking Reagan.
"Yep." Her sister replied with a sigh.
"Hey, at least Theo's not mad at us." Brett looked over at the other Ridley girl as she walked alongside them.
"Oh, wow, I really feel special now." Reagan muttered, and her sister scoffed.
"Hey, I could have booed you, but I didn't." Theodora said, "I actually stick up for my sister."
Reagan didn't answer, feeling mixed emotions as they walked back to the office.
"Theo, Brett and I need to sort this out, okay? Go annoy someone else for a while." Reagan faced Theodora.
"You're a bitch, you know that, right?" Theodora snapped, "You can't even tell when someone's trying to help you."
Reagan ignored her, "Come on, Brett. I have an idea." She strode off in the direction of the clone lab, pulling Brett along. He looked at Theo sympathetically before following Reagan.
Theodora was stranded in the hallway, not sure where to go. All of her friends were at McUltra's still, and she was only friends with a couple of people from assassinations.
She decided to go to the cafeteria, where there were groups of people sitting around.
Theodora walked over to the assassinations group, she knew one of them from college and she used to date another.
"Hey, Theo!" Jasper called her over. They dated for while a couple of months ago, but left on good terms despite a little miscommunication. "Come here, we're watching your dad's Youtube channel."
"My dad has a Youtube channel?" Theo quirked a brow, pulling up a seat at their table.
"Yeah, he's totally exposing J.R!" Another assassin said. The group of them burst out laughing as Rand said something on the screen about J.R's erectile dysfunction.
Theodora was slightly embarrassed for her dad, but couldn't hide a smile, he was actually kind of funny.
They watched it for a little while longer, before the PA speakers crackled and a voice filled the room.
"Alert!" It said, before an alarm starting ringing, "Breach in clone containment unit."
Theodora looked up briefly, thinking it was just a drill, until the doors to the cafeteria burst open and about 15 Elvis Presleys charged in.
"What the fuck?" Everyone jumped to their feet in fright. "Let's get out of here."
Theo and the assassins made haste out of the cafeteria and sprinted down the corridor to find a room to hide in. They passed 3 Tupacs and like 20 Avril Lavignes, and at the end of the corridor only her and Jasper made it. The rest of the assassins were fighting off various clones.
"Quick, in here!" Theodora grabbed Jasper by his bulletproof vest and pulled him into a small office. They locked the door and Jasper pulled a chair in front of the door so no one could break in.
"What on earth happened?" Jasper asked, out of breath.
"I don't know," Theo murmured, it turns out they had stumbled into a surveillance room, and one wall had cameras on the entire facility. "But I have a feeling my sister has something to do with this."
The pair watched on surveillance cameras as the clones destroyed things.
"Y'know, being trapped in here kinda reminds me of when we would sneak around here and make out in janitors closets." Jasper leaned back on the table behind them.
"Are you seriously flirting with me right now?" Theo asked bluntly, watching as some of the clones turned mutant. She scanned the room quickly for weapons but there weren't any.
"Yes..." Jasper responded, "I mean, we're trapped in a close vicinity. It's kinda sexy."
"We aren't trapped. We could open the door and leave." Theodora stated, folding her arms.
"Oh, so you're choosing to be in here with me." Jasper said slyly, "I see, I see."
"You're an idiot." Theodora couldn't help but smile. "Would you rather go out there and die?"
"If it were with you, then yes." Jasper scooted along the table to be closer to her. Then, the security doors actually did lock them into the small room.
"Aaand now we are trapped." Theodora sighed, hoisting her up onto the table.
"Why did we ever break up, again?" Jasper placed his hand on her thigh.
"I was going to get a sniper to take you out." Theodora brushed his hand off of her. "Because I thought you were cheating on me."
"Oh yes," Jasper laughed almost nervously.
"But I was all hormonal and stuff so I wouldn't do that ever again to anyone." Theodora said quickly, "I don't think I would."
"That's bad news," Jasper shrugged, "cause I'm attracted to sociopaths."
"What the fuck." Theodora's eyes were glued to the screens, as a mutant clone ravaged the halls. "Fuck it, if that giant mutant JFK is gonna kill us, may as well just do it before we die."
Theodora threw her arms around Jasper, kissing him. They stumbled back into the wall behind them, causing the surveillance screens to flicker and then turn off.

The security doors kept them in for hours, and when they were finally free, it was dark outside.
"I'll give you a ride home." Jasper offered when Theodora found that Reagan had left without her.
"Thanks."
When Theodora arrived home, Reagan and Rand were in their driveway drinking beers.
"Theodora, where were you that entire time? We could have used your help!" Reagan exclaimed as she saw her sister.
"None of your business." Theo snapped, not forgetting her sister's hostility to her beforehand. "You told me to piss off so I pissed off."
"Was that Jasper from assassinations dropping you off?" Reagan craned her neck as Jasper drove off.
"Well, you left without me, so yeah." She spat, entering the house without another word.
"Jesus, what's her problem?" Rand took a swig from his beer. "Why can't you girls ever get along?"
"She's a bitch!" Reagan muttered.
