Chapter 5- Spy

Spy's POV

I arrive at the laboratory. I'm supposed to be the new intern. I'm really just spying in disguise.

Dr: Welcome. So you'll be working with them to create bad memories of Joey.

This does not sound good.

Spy: What's going on?

Dr: We've been deleting all of Shane's memories and creating bad memories so he'll side with us and we can defeat the rebels.

Spy: Couldn't this cause brain damage?

Dr: Possibly but it's a risk we have to take.

Spy: Is it permanent or could he get his memory back?

Dr: As long as we keep treating him he won't remember a thing. Now go to work.

He shoves me off somewhere with a bunch of assistants. I join them in tweaking some of Shane's memories.

But this is terrible. He won't ever remember his family or friends. I can't believe I have to help these people.

Spy: Hey, um, do you guys know where they are keeping the Tributes?

Assistant 1: Well they have the regular Tributes locked up in jail.

Spy: What about Shane?

Assistant 2: He is locked up in a special room down the hall.

Spy: So when are we gonna put these memories into his brain?

Assistant 1: Why do ask so many question?

Spy: It's my first day. No one briefed me.

Assistant 1: Well hopefully tomorrow.

I inwardly winced. We could never make it in time. I just have to play along and scope the area out.

*Later*

I run down the hall. I look into a room. I see Shane sleeping on the bed. I take notes.

Dr: What are you doing?

I turn and try to act causally.

Spy: Giving myself a tour since everyone was busy.

Dr: Get back to work.

I nod and run off to a bathroom. I have to get this info to Chad.

Lisa's POV

Chad: Get down here now.

I hear Chad in my earpiece. I wince and sit up. Its the middle of the night so it must be important.

Lisa: This better be important or I'll be pissed.

Chad: It is. Get down here.

I groan and run down to the conference room. Chad is pacing around the room. He seems nervous.

Lisa: What's going on?

Chad: I honestly don't know what to do about this Shane situation.

Lisa: What about it?

Chad: Rescuing him. And the other Tributes.

Lisa: What do you need help with? Once you get the information you send in a team to save them.

Chad: No. Lisa I've gotten some disturbing news.

Lisa: Well what is it?

I swallowed my fears. Many possibilities were spinning through my mind.

He could be dead.

That one hurt the most. I knew it would hurt Joey a lot.

Chad: They've been erasing his memory.

I slam my fists against the table. I'm pissed off. Now he won't trust us if we try to save him!

Chad: And there's more.

This is getting worse and worse. I can't handle the stress. Especially when it's all over my best friend. Shane.

Lisa: What else?! Just tell me.

Chad: They're creating fake memories of us. So Shane will see us as enemies.

Lisa: Shit! Shit! Shit!

I don't know why I'm acting like this. I'm usually good under stress. But right now I think I'm going to breakdown.

Chad: What should we do?

Lisa: Isn't it obvious?

Chad: I'll go send in our troops.

Lisa: Thank you Chad. I can't do this without you.

Then I do something very unexpected.

I hug Chad. And he hugs back.

I can't handle this stress but he can. Thank god for that.
