Chapter 40

- 3 months later -

Harmony's POV

It has been three months since Dr. Tan and his army attacked DCI.

A lot of the damage that was caused during the attack has been fixed and all the systems and machines are working once again.

The place looks just as it did when I first got here - maybe even better. There is no sign whatsoever of there ever being an attack in this building. It's pretty amazing that this whole place was fixed up in a matter of a few months.

All the agents are back to work as well and they all act as nothing happened. There are some agents that did receive some more damage like a broken arm or leg, but other than that everyone seems normal and happy. Tan being around definitely brought a lot of stress to the agents here. Having to track down his every move and make sure that my family and I were safe took a lot of work and stressed a lot of agents out. Now that Tan is gone, the agents are a lot more relaxed and happier.

Me, on the other hand, can't seem to forget what happened a few months ago.

The cut on my cheek is still healing so I'm constantly being reminded about what happened every time I look at myself in the mirror. Not to mention that I keep having nightmares about that fight, leading me restless nights. I can't remember the last time I had a decent amount of sleep ever since I was released from the clinic here.

While I was at the clinic, the doctors were able to give me medicine to help me sleep whenever I would have a nightmare. Now, I don't have that anymore and my parents want me to wait a little longer to see if my sleep gets any better before they tell the doctors to prescribe me some medicine. It honestly sucks having to wake up in the middle of the night and be fully awake after that.

I take a deep breath and continue walking down the long, dark hallway of the small prison we have at DCI. I told myself that I was never going to come down here, but I still need answers about why Tan did what he did and why he was after me. No matter how many times I ask my parents or any of the other agents about this, they never tell me anything and I'm tired of hearing the same "ask your parents" or "not right now" stuff over and over again. 

I walk with some of the guards to the cell of the one person I know will give me the answers I want -- or at least I hope he does.

"You have a visitor," one of the guards says as she bangs on the cell wall. Both of the guards move away from the cell, but not too far away as a safety measure. Even if this whole prison was heavily guarded, at least one guard has to stay close to the visitor just in case anything happens. In my case, I have to have at least two guards near me at all times, which I understand, I mean this guy did try to have me killed a few months ago.

"What do you want Harmony?" Adam says as he gets up from his bed in his cell. The cell he's in is really small. There's barely enough space for the bed, toilet, and sink. The walls are the same color as a prison cell, but instead of bars, there's a bulletproof glass that is unbreakable.

"I want answers Adam and you're the only one that can give me the answers that I'm looking for," I said stepping closer to the glass wall.

Adam chuckles and walks closer to me, "What happened to that boyfriend of yours? I thought he was the one you went to when you wanted answers."

"He's not my boyfriend Adam, and I can't go to him because you and Tan decided to make me the villain in his eyes," I feel my heartbreak a little. I miss Glitch so much, but every time I go see him, he freaks out and starts yelling at me to go away. The treatment the doctors have him in is working -- at least that's what they've told me. They have been able to return most of the memories he had of the other agents back to normal, but the memories with me are a whole different challenge.
