Changing

Chapter 3

Mr. Tank carried  me two blocks down the road. 

Mr. Buchcowski was whistling a cheery tune while striding down the sidewalk. He walked right up to the white truck and opened the back door. 

Now isn’t this ironic. 

It was the same truck that I had seen while walking home. The truck I had felt uneasy about. 

I cursed myself for not listening to the feeling sooner.

Mr. Tank laid me carefully down on the floor of the truck. He closed the truck’s door quietly making the interior pitch black. The only lighting came from the small blinking green, and red lights around me. 

I heard both men get into the truck in front and start the car, the thumping of the engine shaking the floor beneath me.    

The car started down the road and when we passed a street light the interior of the truck was lit, and I could make out what the blinking lights were coming from. 

There were complex machines pushed against the sides of the truck all surrounding the place where I was. Most of them I had no idea what they were for, but I was sure one was a tracking device. 

But I don’t have any tracking device inside me…do I?

All of these machines were behind metal screens, I guess to make sure I don’t break anything. Not that I could even try. 

I futility tried to move my lips. But I was still frozen. I wanted to ask where they were taking me. But I was pretty sure that they wouldn’t answer my questions even if I were able to ask.  

There were no windows in the back part of the truck.

No, if I ever manage to escape I’ll have no idea how to make it back home! Why, why me? What did I ever do to deserve this? Would I ever see my mom again?

Even though I couldn’t move I was still able to produce tears. 

One of the scientists turned on the radio to an old 50s station. And turned up the volume enough so that I couldn’t make out what they were whispering to each other. 

After a while I gave up trying to listen, I closed my eyes defeated and fell into an uneasy sleep.

ok... so this is a pretty short chapter, so I'll just put up the next one as well :D
