OUTSIDER

Chapter 8

"What? Why?" I ask.
"Because you are going to forget it all anyway. You are going to be our test subject. We have to do tests on you."He says.
" Once we give you all the vaccines you're going to need for testing, you won't remember but a few things. Such as your name, age, and where you came from."he says. "And...?" I ask.
"And, that means we don't want you to remember the answer to those questions instead of what's actually important. See, if I were to answer your questions, all you'd be thinking about is the answers when we vaccinate you. But since I'm not going to answer them, you will be wondering what the answers are, instead of actually knowing them. It's very complicated."He says.
"Well, since I'm not going to be your test subject, you can tell me, release me, and I'll be on my way." I say smiling.

"Get on with the questioning then."
He reaches around the inside of his coat pocket for a while before saying, "I've forgotten my cards." 

"Well I should be leaving now."He turns and walks away.

"Wait!"I say, sounding desperate. 

"Yes?"He says turning back around. 

"I've got a question for you."I say.

 "Okay."He says. 

"Why is your name Meat?"I ask.

 He turns scarlet. 

"U-uh it's not actually."He says.

"It's Hamilton. But back in grade school people would call me Hammy. So I decided in high school that I would change it because I thought I was cool, I wasn't, and told people to call me Meat."He says, still red in the cheeks. 

I was not expecting this.

"Oh." I say awkwardly. 

"Well, Hamilton is a much nicer name than Meat. From now on, to me, you're Hamilton. Because the name Meat is just weird."I say and he walks out the room.
 I need an escape plan.
