They bring the girl home and sit her down on Mike's sofa as they crowd around her. She hadn't said a word the entire time, she just sat their breathing heavily. Sage bites at her nails staring at the girl.
"Is there a number we can call? For your parents? Mike finally breaks the silence.
"Where's your hair? Do you have cancer?" Dustin examines the girls shaved head.
"Did you run away?" Sage asks knowing she knows exactly what she means.
"Is that blood?"
Lucas goes to touch her and Sage slaps his hand.
"Stop it! You're freaking her out."
"She's freaking me out!"
"I bet she's deaf! Dustin announces.
Dustin claps in her face and she jumps.
"Not deaf."
"That's enough guys! She's just scared and cold. Here"
Mike grabs some pyjamas from his fresh laundry basket and hands them to her.
The girl stands and attempts to lift up her long yellow shirt she was in.
"Woah, Woah! I'll take her to the bathroom."
Sage takes the girls hand and the moment they are out of eyesight the girl flips her wrist and pushing back the pink watch. Revealing numbers on each of their wrists.
007, 011.
"Seven.." The girl mumbles.
Sage pushes the girl into the bathroom and covers her mouth.
"Yes. It's me, you cannot tell these boys about me. It's safe here, they are good. Not bad men, you call me Sage. Got it?"
The scared girl nods quickly.
Sage leaves the bathroom and leans against the door, this shouldn't be happening. She was never meant to see this girl again.

11 months before.
A girl with big brown eyes and a buzz cut walks into a room, there is toys everywhere with rainbows on the walls. Children are scattered everywhere around the room looking almost identical to this girl, buzz cuts and hospital gowns. The girl makes her way over to a much taller girl and sits beside her. She pulls her closer and whispers.
"I know how we get out."
The tall girl pulls back shocked.
"How?" She whispers.
The smaller-younger girl smiles and begins to explain. She was much more well-spoken then the older girl.
"My powers, I can do what 008 did but I can fight too. We can both leave.. leave the bad men."
Just like that the alarms begin to blare. The younger girls nose starts to bleed as she grabs her hand and drags her towards the basement.
"Here!" She exclaims sliding through a large pipe. She beckons to the other girl just as the illusion of the soldiers disappears the guards burst in.
The young girl wipes her nose showing her number.
007
"Seven you have to go!"
"I will get you out Eleven!"
The girls let go and Eleven gets grabbed showing her number as she flails her arms around.
011.

Mike waves his hands in Sage's face.
