Luka woke one morning, feeling more confused than usual. He woke up in a hospital bed as he sat up and ran his hands through his hair. His hair still buzzed, but he got a shock when he looked at his hands. They were much smaller than they were before. He started to panic as he threw the covers back and realized he wasn't a teenager anymore. He screamed out! The blood curdling scream heard around the facility as Dr. Malcolmson rushed into the room to see Luka awake and trembling. "What happened?" Luka cried out, his little hands shaking as he looked at them. "What did you do to me?" He continued. Dr. Malcolmson put his hand on his heart, and he felt relieved. He gave a light chuckle as he looked at Luka. "You are where you need to be. You have been acting out and it was difficult to control you. I made it easier for us. You are eight years old again, in a sense." Dr. Malcolmson said as he sat down on the bed next to Luka as he put his hands down and realized the severity of the situation.
Luka's mind had matured enough to understand that this shouldn't make sense, but he knew in the world that this was something that would happen. "How did you do it?" Luka asked, his words becoming less quavering. "I called in a favor at a location, and I had you transported and made you young again." Dr. Malcolmson said with a smile. Luka put his hands down as he thought about it. "Are you going to keep me as a child forever?" Luka asked. Dr. Malcolmson put his hand on his shoulder. "You keep your attitude up; I will. No more questions now. We have work to do." Dr. Malcolmson insisted as Luka sighed. "Fuck." Luka mumbled out. "What did you say?" Dr. Malcolmson glared at the boy. "You heard me." Luka stated as he looked at him. He looked like a young child, but his personality and mind were still that of a very aggressive military trained thirteen-year-old boy. "Do you want to go back into the containment room again. I can gladly have that arranged." Dr. Malcolmson shot back. Luka shook his head, but his face was scrunched in anger.
Training was like any other day of training at Malcolmson Laboratories. Luka succeeded in everything. He was far more superior than he had ever been, thanks to the Project Moonshadow training. He felt strange being in a younger body. He felt like he wasn't even in his own. He noticed one missing from the bunch of kids. Billy was missing. "Where is Billy?" Luka asked. "He's been pulled from the program. You won't be seeing him again." Dr. Malcolmson stated. "He was my friend." Luka stated. "There is no need for friends here." Dr. Malcolmson insisted. Luka stood angrily next to him in silence. "I heard about your and Billy kissing in the school. That is depravity. You are sick boy, and we need to take your illness away." Dr. Malcolmson added as Luka looked at him confused. "I'm not sick." Luka stated. "You are very sick. That sin will not be tolerated in these walls." Dr. Malcolmson snapped at him.
Luka struggled to come to terms with it, but he knew there had to be a catch, and he learned fast when he was brought into the office. "Sit down." Dr. Malcolmson stated as Luka came into the office. Another man sitting at the desk as he looked at Luka. "There's the little guy. How are you doing?" The man said with a smile as he looked at Luka. Luka looked at Dr. Malcolmson. "I have to apologize for his reactions, he hasn't quite been the same since Project Moonshadow. He's been rather aggressive. Luka, this is Al Bielek. He is one of the leads on the Montauk Project." Dr. Malcolmson insisted. "How are you doing there?" Al asked as he put his hand out to the boy. Luka kept his gaze at Dr. Malcolmson. "We deal a lot with aggressions. It won't be an issue." Al stated as he looked back at Dr. Malcolmson as he put his hand down. "I know you will take good care of him, but I am worried. His conditioning is very fragile right now and I don't want to push him back into another program." Dr. Malcolmson insisted.
