I'm still in the trunk. It's only been 5 minutes, but it feels like forever. I stopped crying and just layed down. If I hadn't dropped my ray gun, I would be out of here. But nope. I'm such a clutz and I dropped my only weapon. And I didn't take the first rustle as a warning.

I'm kicking the trunk lid now. I kick it so much, the person who took me (Obviously a Drac) stomps on the break, which makes me hit the wall of the trunk. I curse under my breath and he continues driving.

20 minutes later, we stop. The Drac comes around and opens the trunk. He grabs me quickly and forces me to walk into the BLI Headquarters. Unlike the other night, the place is crawling with Dracs and other people. They all glare at me, seeing I'm a Killjoy.

I'm being pushed into a elevator. He pushes a button that says "Korse" on it. Of course we'd be going to see him first.

Everything's silent. Being the dumbass I am, I start a conversation.

"Soooo... How long have you worked for the BLI?" I look at the Drac. He doesn't reply.

"Oh. Well, what's your name?"  Still no reply.

"Why didn't you tie me up? You know I could escape any moment. I'm not stupid, ya know. Well anyway. How's your-"

"Would you just shut the fuck up?" The Drac says to me. I smirk, satisfied with myself.

The elevator door opens, and he pulls me out. We walk down a long hallway - same one we did the other night - and stopped at a white door. He opens it with a key and pushes me inside. There's a TV with screens monitoring security cameras, a bed next to a window overlooking the front entrance, a mirror on the opposite wall of the window, two chairs, and a long clear tube with a man inside it. Korse.

The Drac presses a red button and the tube opens. Korse's eyes open and he smiles at the site of me. He steps out and looks at me up and down. He sends the Drac away with a hand motion. Now it's just us two.

"So. How's Grace? And Kaylina?" He looks at me.

"What do you want from me."

"Nuh-uh-uh. My question first, Janae."

I roll my eyes and look at him. "Fine."

"That's good. As long as they're not suffering."

"They were when they were here..." I mutter.

"What?"

I shake my head and look out the window. It's night now. Probably 10. Right now I'd be with Mikey getting ready for bed. He'd be kissing me goodnight, and snuggling close to me. And then I'll fall into a deep sleep and dream of something great. God I miss him...

A tear escapes from my eye. I might die here, and never hear his voice again. I might never see my sister, Grace, Ray, Party, Frank, or Mikey.

Korse comes behind me and puts a hand on my shoulder. I shove it off and glare at him.

"Why the hell am I here?" I snap at him.

"You're here because you're special, Janae."

"How."

"You're a Perez. Strong, agile, smart. That's why we took your sister. But you took her back. And now we have you. The older sister, the one we really want. And now we have you. You will be the best BLI Agent ever made."
