Smooth Criminal

I

My name is Grace Knight.

Ever since I was little my family has been different. My parents are legal scientists. They test things like mutilation and chemotherapy on victims, many of which are from jail or asylums.

Today their most recent test object was being exported. Only to be replaced by another.

"Morning sunshine!" My mum greeted with a cheerful tone as I walked into the kitchen.

"Morning Mum" I replied grabbing an apple from the bowl that was set on the middle of the table.

"Ugh, where are they?" She groaned looking out the window every five seconds.

"Who?"

"The test object, supposedly he has 10x the strength of a normal human" she explained taking me by surprise. 10x times the strength? Wow.

"That's him!" She exclaimed jumping out of her seat and racing outside, I haven't seen her run that fast. I followed her out seeing a police car pull up in front of our house. Two police officer's climbing out of the vehicle. They reached in gripping both of the man's arms. As he was dragged out of the vehicle his head was hanging down preventing me of seeing how he looked. His hands were restrained with handcuffs which rattled around as he walked. He was wearing one of those highlighter orange jumpsuits. He was very tall and lean, even if he was wearing that horrible looking jumpsuits he kind of made it work. He made his way up the stone drive way when they were suddenly stopped by my mum who started talking to one of the officers.

I just couldn't get my eyes off him but he suddenly lifted his head up turning it to look straight at me and I could now see his full detail. He was pretty attractive and I was really surprised by the undeniable beauty of the criminal standing before me. He looked like he was around twenty obviously too old for me since I'm only 17, turning 18 in about less than a month.

He had long dark lashes framing his perfect green orbs, his full plum lips were slightly parted. His perfect tousled dark brown hair swept to one side. He had a thick, prominent jaw line. His dark eyebrows were slightly creased downwards in anger and annoyance.

After my mother was done talking, the officer simply nodded leading through the path way back to the jail cell where they keep their test subjects.

"Grace Sweetie, you'll be late for school" Mum reminded me snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Right!" I ran inside grabbing my bag that was laying on the couch and ran out passing my parents who were talking in the middle of the drive way. I said my finally goodbyes walking down the cemented sidewalk carefully watching as the cars raced passed me.

I walked through the crowd of people scattered around the area making my way inside the huge building. I scanned the large hall my eyes landing on Daisy, Daisy Cromwell has been my best friend since third grade and she pretty much can see right through me.

I calmly approach her as she shut her locker door suddenly getting startled by my sudden appearance.

"Hey girl!" She cheerfully greeted pulling me into an embrace quickly letting go.

"Hey Dais, You wouldn't believe who the new test object is, he was just brought here from England this morning" I told her.

"Ooohh so he is a British hottie" She commented clapping her hands together wearing a toothy grin on her face.

"Well I guess you can come over possibly even see him"

"I'd love too! I was also thinking that we should go to the club tonight...you know, to get your mind off the whole break up with Theo"
