It's 5 A.M at Jack's bar, and Fae is laid in his bed, right next to him. Fae slowly opens her eyes, and stretches her arms. "Wake up, babe" she says while poking Jacks cheeks. She tries to wake him for five minutes or so, but he doesn't even move a muscle. She eventually gives up, gives him a kiss on the lips and heads to a small bathroom, right next to the bedroom. Fae washes her face and takes a mint from her pocket. She steps outside, in an alleyway behind the bar. She checks the time, 

 =5.27 A.M=

"Shit... I could of slept a bit more." She says to herself while rubbing her face in her hands. Yet again, she stretches before lighting one of Jack's cigarettes. She's stood there smoking for a good 2 minutes before a Black van reverses into the alley. "The fuck?" Fae whispers, taking a step back to keep a hand on the door.

The van stops, and out hops three men that looks like security guards. They all have sunglasses on. In the front seat, a woman in a black suit can be seen looking at files. "Excuse me? Who are you?" Fae is acting defensive and scared. She tries to open the door but finds herself stuck outside - she had locked herself out. "Don't you worry, this won't hurt, Francesca Davis." The woman has now come out, and is standing with a needle in her hand. "Stay still and it will be alright." She says, walking closer to Fae. "Who the FUCK are you and what do you want? How do you know my name?" Fae shouts. The men grab her arms, as she gets agitated. Fae steps on their feet, wiggling around trying to get out of their grip. "I said stay still Francesca." The woman moves closer. Fae manages to escape their grip, and now the men are just stood there, watching her. They move behind the woman, and the woman speaks up. "We need you. And if you refuse to follow us, we will be forced to take other actions." She shows Fae a picture of Jack. "W-where did you get that?!" Fae asks, as the woman moves closer. "No need to worry, follow along and we won't hurt him, or you." She puts a hand on her shoulder, and Fae is frozen in place. "Please, don't hurt him, whatever you do to me, don't hurt my Jack." Before she could think, a needle has been injected into her arm, and she is dragged into the van.

At the institute

All that can be seen is Fae's eyes opening, fast. As we zoom out, she can be seen sitting up from a white bed. Everything is white. The walls, the floor, the bed and even the toilet. The toilet has a weird shape, kind of like a box. There's a door, near the back. And the curtain of a window that can't seem to be opened. "Where the fuck am I?" Fae asks herself as she takes herself to the head. "You're at a safe place, 13-7." A woman in a lab coat says, as she closes the door behind her. She had just walked in, and sat herself onto Fae's bed. "I am Ashley, and I will be taking care of you." She looks at Fae, before continuing, "You will refer to me as Mama Ashley, through this program. And I've got a bunch of 'fun' tests for you." She takes her pen, and begins writing. "No fucking way I'll call you 'Mama'." Fae scoffs, and crosses her arms. "What am I doing here? Why do you so desperately need me that you threatened to kill my boyfriend?" As she says this, she gets a bit teary. "You will refer to me as Mama Ashley, understood? - now, for the first test. We need you to cooperate with us, unless you want this boy of yours to end up in the ground. I know you're a child, but you are also mature, young lady." She continues typing. "Child? You bitch, I'm 19." Fae gets up, about to make threats at her so-called Mama Ashley. "Security's requested at 13-7, I repeat, security requested 13-7." Mama Ashley gets up as two guards, also dressed in white, step in and take Fae by the arms. "It's time for your first test, 13-7. The Memory loss." Mama Ashley watches as the two men drag Fae out of the room, before leaving with them, and shutting the door behind her.

After the test

Fae wakes up, yet again in her new little room. She turns around in the bed, and feels something sharp on her thigh. "The fuck is this? I've got no time for crap. I gotta get out of here.." Fae thinks to herself, as she takes what's been stabbing her - a small piece of paper, with a little note written inside of it. "They aren't supposed to know you remember." The note reads.
