Luka was woken in the morning by Papa as he came in and smiled at him. Luka looked up at Papa as he knelt and was eye to eye with Luka. "I have something special for you to do today, Luka. Does that sound like something you would like to do?" Papa asked as Luka looked at him. "It will be an easy day today. No hard work. I just need you to answer some questions from a gentleman that is here. He wants to know more about our programs." Papa admitted as Luka kept his eyes on him. "Would you do that for me?" Papa asked as Luka nodded his head. "Good, I knew you would." Papa said as he kissed his forehead. Luka was washed up and taken to one of the small rooms that he did telekinesis in. Papa held his hand as he sat Luka in the chair. Luka looked up at him. "Alright, all I need you to do is answer some questions for him. I know you can do it." Papa stated as he let Luka's hand go and walked out of the room.
The room was darker as Luka sat at the metal table. There was a man sitting at the table in a white button up shirt, and suspenders. He was wearing sunglasses, which was unusual for the darkness of the room. His hair was dark and swooped off to the right side. There was a camera on the side of him as Luka looked at him. It was directed at Luka, and he wasn't sure what was going on. The began to speak in a deep voice to me. "What is your name?" He asked Luka. "Luka Novak." He mumbled out. "How old are you?" He asked. "Eight." Luka said back. "Do you know why we are here?" He asked as Luka shook his head 'no.' "I am from the CIA, and we are studying the effects of MK Ultra on children." He stated. Luka looked at the man. Luka had heard the words before. MK Ultra. He didn't understand it, but he knew it wasn't good. He started to panic as the man started to talk more to him. Luka was lost in his thoughts and didn't understand what he was saying to him. Luka looked at him. "Is this a test?" Luka asked as the man looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" He asked Luka. "Is this a test?! Is this a test?! Did I fail?!" Luka started to shout out. He started to scream. "I failed! I failed!" Repeatedly, thinking he had failed the test by talking. Carruthers came in and dragged him out kicking and screaming. Dr. Malcolmson came in as he smiled and sat down where Luka was. "We have a strict speaking policy. He really takes it to heart. Even after we tell him it is ok. He struggles. He is our best student we have. He's advanced beyond belief." Dr. Malcolmson stated to the man as damage control.
Luka landed himself in the small room for several hours. Papa came in once Luka had settled down. Luka sat by the wall, moving his fingers along the grout in the wall. Papa didn't look happy with him. Luka knew Papa wasn't because he had his hands on his hips. "Do you know what you just did there Luka? Do you know exactly what you did?!" He asked as Luka kept his eyes on his finger as he drew the grout. Papa knelt before Luka and grabbed his hand and made him look at him. "You made my laboratory look like fools. Like we are destroying the psyche of children. Do you know what that means?" Papa demanded as Luka shook his head with a void expression. "You made me look like a fool." Papa shouted at Luka. "I'm sorry Papa." Luka said as his void expression became worried. Papa shook his head. "You're going to stay in here until I feel you are honest about your apology." Papa stated as Luka looked at him in shock. "I'm sorry!" Luka said out as Papa got up and started to leave. "Papa! I'm sorry!" Luka cried out as the door closed. The light turned off and Luka was left in the dark as he began to scream again.
