Charles, Logan and I were sitting in the backseat of the limo as Logan pulled out Gabriela's phone and found a video. He puts on his glasses then turns the phone to the side and presses the play button. On screen, Gabriela appears on the screen as she sits on a couch in what looked like a living room of a home. "My name is Gabriela Lopez. I'm a nurse. And for 10 years I worked for Transigen research in Mexico City." She said as the video shows us a large tan bricked building with a long chained and barbed wire fence from within a car.

"Transigen is combined American company." She said then it switches views and we see her in a broom closet, wearing a nurse's outfit. "What I'm about to show you is illegal...in the US and Canada." She warns and she flips the phone over and we see a few nurses walking down the hall one way. But what shocked me was a long line of children walking down the hall. They all looked like they were under the age of 10.

Then she ducks back in the closet and shuts the door. Then a close up of some files fills the picture as Gabriela continues. "They told us we were part of a pharmaceutical study, but of course, it was a lie." She said then shows another angle of a hallway of young boys and girls walking, doctors not far behind them. "These children were born in Transigen. They were born here...and have never left." She said as the video showed the nurses putting kids in cells, obviously being their room.

"They have never seen the sun or the ocean...rain or snow...or any of God's creatures." She said as we saw kids in cages, all looking terrified. "They have no birth certificates... No names...besides the ones we have given them." She said as it showed a some bricks in the wall popping out as a ball rolls down the sides. As the ball rolls, the bricks would pop in and out, guiding it, until the ball lands into a young boy's hand, then it shows Laura sleeping in a bed.

"They were raised in the bellies of Mexican Girls. Girls no one can find anymore. Their fathers were...special seeds in bottles." She said as we see an incubator then a hospital bed covered in blood. "Oh my God." I whispered as we look up and see Laura riding one of those mechanical moving horses.

We look back down at the phone and saw a video of what looked like a birthday party for one kid. The nurses were singing the Happy Birthday song in Spanish when that douchebag with the mechanical arm walks in then he and the doctors come in and disrupt the party.

"We do not dress them up for Halloween. We do not call them baby, or kiss boo-boos. Do not think of them as children. Think of them as things with patents and copyrights. Comprende?" A doctor said to a nurse as Gabriela was able to get a video of them talking. "Si, senior." The nurse said.

The video changes, once again, and shows them giving kids shots. "They thought we were too poor and stupid to understand. We are poor, yes...but we are not stupid." She said as the video shows one kid in a padded room with a guard yelling at him. "Use your powers." He yells and the kid raises his hand and started moving his arms around, knocking everything back with an invisible force. Then the video switches again and it shows Laura laying in a hospital bed, two claws coming out of her fist as the doctors work on her. "This is business. They are making soldiers. Killers. These are babies and mutants..." she started to say but the phone dies before she could finish.

The men and I look up at one another then all of us look over at Laura. "North Dakota. You took that woman's money. Both of you said you would take the child there." Charles said as we see that the ride stopped and Laura was shaking the machine, trying to get it started. "What is she?" Logan asked Charles. "She is your daughter, Logan." Charles replied and Logan looks at him then at me before he climbs out of the car. "Alkali has your genetic code." Charles warns him as I get out of the car as well. "Not just mine." Logan said.

"Logan..." Charles said. "I don't want to talk about. I don't wanna hear about it anymore." Logan said as he helps me out of the car. "Logan..." Charles said, again. "Just stop." Logan said the him, firmly. "I have to pee." Charles informs and Logan sighs then goes over to the trunk and pull out his wheelchair.
