I'll do just about anything to find you

CHAPTER 10

Void. That was all she saw, just the void. Everything was dark, and it hurt so much, that was until she felt an electric shock through her body.

- Begin log number 1, the subject is Gabriela Rosery Clocksworth, daughter of William Clocksworth, our Head Researcher.

A voice boomed out, Gabriela opened her eyes, she was handcuffed, and saw a dark room with a single table and two chairs, she sat on one of them. Behind the other chair was a huge vent on the floor and a door.

- The subject has woken up after a 20-hour coma, we may begin testing.

Gabriela started having a headache, where even are her team members? Where is she? Who is this man? How does he know her father? And most importantly, is she going to die?

- Gabriela, we are going to do a few questions for you about the Foundation, and, depending on your importance to them and the deal we've offered them, you might survive. - The man said, Gabriela took in his features, dark skin with braided brown hair, he was wearing a lab coat and blue gloves.

She breathed heavily, already thinking of an escape plan and remembering how she was trained to answer these questions.

- First question, why does the Foundation keep you alive? What importance do you have to them? - The man asked, getting ready to write her answer down on his paper.

Gabriela paused, thinking of an answer.

- I'm the only answer to destroying the M.O.S., to learning the truth about everything going down here. - She threatened, stalling his time as she undid her handcuffs, slowly and silently.

The man sighed but then started laughing.

- You can try, but we have the second-best security in this country - He continues laughing as if it were the funniest joke he's ever heard.

He paused, taking a deep breath, but wrote down her answer, and then moved on to the next question.

- How does the Foundation create life from nothing? Or, should I say, how did they make abiogenesis real, even if it was proven to be false by Louis Pasteur? - He rambled but paused, waiting for her to answer.

The young girl looked at him, confused.

- I am just an MTF, not a scientist, I'm not allowed to know such information.

Suddenly, Gabriela heard a gasp, but it wasn't from the man, it came from behind the door, which suddenly opened, and the girl's eyes widened in shock.

There he was, the brunette, brown-eyed, light-skinned, old man.

- Did they make you an MTF? They didn't even bother making you a scientist? - A low raspy voice was emitted from the man, as he came out of the shadows.

Tears threatened to escape from Gabriela's eyes as she stared at him, only one word being able to leave her lips.

- Father?

William smiled at her, smiling warmly

- Hello, angel... - He said, using a nickname for her.

Gabriela's face turned into one of anger, her eyebrows hardening as her nose scrunched. After all this time, after all these lies, this fool thought he could act normal to her.

A noise of metal falling to the ground was emitted from the room, making both men confused, but quickly shocked once Gabriela got up from her seat without her handcuffs.

She immediately acted, throwing the table on the man sitting on the chair as William ran away, closing the door behind him. Not long after, sounds of sirens blasted through the halls. Gabriela walked over to the vent and forced it open, jumping in.

The vent wasn't as tiny as she thought it'd be, which made it even better. She crawled through it. Seeing another opening, she broke through it, landing straight into the armory room, just her luck.

She broke the glass containing the guns, taking a revolver and a knife. She left the armor room, seeing a few scientists right outside. Unlocking the gun, Gabriela shot them down, one by one, bodies piling on top of each other.

The girl kept running towards the exit that her team members made, shooting down many scientists and guards on her way. After a while, she made it to the biological testing area, and as she walked, she noticed a woman with blue hair. The same woman she took hostage.

The blue-haired lady stared at her, putting her hands up in fear, making Gabriela's anger worsen.

- You tricked me... - The younger girl screamed at her, shooting the woman's leg, making her fall and scream.

- Wait... Please! I can help you! - The woman pleaded, trying to survive.

Gabriela maintained furious, her face showing it all, although she didn't say anything, allowing the woman to speak.

- My name is Noriko Saitou, I am the daughter of Akuma Saitou, the founder of M.O.S. ... I'm against everything he's done, I can show you where your siblings are! - Noriko begged, crying from pain.

The younger girl stared at her, sighing as she took Noriko's arm, pulling her up and putting Noriko on her back, carrying her.

- If you're lying to me... If you waste my time and betray me, I will kill you. - Gabriela stared daggers at Noriko. - I'll kill every single one of you. - She whispered.

After a while, the blue-haired lady directed the younger girl to the exit, and Gabriela used a first aid kit on her. They finally were almost there, until the girl carrying the other heard heavy footsteps coming in their direction.

Gabriela put Noriko inside a room, telling her to hide. The brunette prepared her revolver and knife, ready for whoever was coming towards her.

8 men appeared as guards from the M.O.S. They immediately started shooting Gabriela, who threw herself to the wall and miraculously dodged all the bullets. She shot the legs of 3 men, making them fall on the other guards. She ran to the standing ones, who were trying to push the others off them, Gabriela plunged her knife into the neck of the guy in the middle, retrieving the knife and stabbing the man on the right.

The girl put her revolver on the man on the left's forehead, shooting it.

Six men were down, but the other two tried shooting Gabriela during this, although she was using one of the bodies as a human shield. She threw the dead body on the wall, kicking the gun out of the guard's hands, and punching him in the face. Gabriela dodged the other man's bullets as she kicked his knees, breaking them.

Gabriela stabbed the man on the floor that was punched.

Noriko slowly stumbled out of the room after the screams, sounds of bullets, and groans of pain ended. She turned to Gabriela, who had blood all over her and was breathing heavily.

The bloodied girl turned to Noriko, walking towards her, putting the knife and revolver in their respective places. The lady was terrified but allowed Gabriela to carry her nonetheless.

They continued to walk over to the exit, the younger one still breathing heavily as she walked tiredly. After a while, the two reached the damaged wall, which was yet to be fixed.

Both girls got out of the building, running straight into the forest, but at one point, Gabriela's walkie-talkie started going off, and the Foundation was able to contact her again.

- Phantom from Zulu-01, reporting in! I'm at the M.O.S. base in Alaska! I have a hostage with me, I repeat, I'm at the M.O.S. base in Alaska! I have a hostage with me. Mayday, Mayday! - Gabriela said into the comms, putting Noriko down on the ground.

- Stand by, Phantom. We're sending a team to rescue you and the hostage.

After a few hours of hiding, Gabriela finally heard the Foudantion helicopters arriving, and she took Noriko, dragging her to them.
