Yutu- April 4019

        Rosie Lee is 18. She works where everyone else works. In the labs.

        Beep, beep. "Clear, next." Beep, beep. "Clear, next." Beep, beep. The overweight, slightly elderly stands by the entrance with his scanner. He wears the uniform all those in Class 5- Disease 345x12 wear, a gray t-shirt, a black trench coat and black slacks. Disease 345x12 is one of the most deadly diseases.

        Beep, beep. "Clear, next." Rosie steps up to the platform and moves her collar revealing the gray code. She is #2178. The man scans the code and presses the green button on the scanner. Beep, beep. "Clear, next."

        As she steps off the platform, a younger girl, of only 15 walks up to the platform. She is young, too young to have been working with such a dangerous disease, but she does. The girl moves her black braid away, and reveals her dark code. #2179, she is right after Rosie. The old man scans her code with a frown and presses the green button.

        Beep, beep. The frown deepens. Rosie stares at the young girl, what could be wrong? The old man pulls out a sleek black transmitter and presses a red button. BEEP, BEEP. Bright red lights start flashing, and huge men in all black hazmat suits come from all angles.

        "NO! PLEASE, I'M NOT SICK!" The girl starts screaming as the men grab her hair, arms, and legs. They restrain the now sick girl and carry her away. Tears fall down the pale face of the girl, she struggles, but she'll never get free.

        As she is carried away the girl turns her small head in Rosie's direction. "Please...help me." The girl whimpers, she is scared of what will happen.

Rosie turns away. She ignores the girl's pleads.
