        We were in a white, red, and blue car as we passed the streets of New York. I was sitting in the passenger seat on the right of Jacob and had to sit on my hands just to keep my desires at bay. We went to 26 Federal Plaza, 23rd Floor, New York, NY 10278. I’ve been here a few times before when they wanted to test me.  Even if he blindfolded me I would know because I remembered all the streets in this rotten city. He parked the car in a spot that said reserved.

“Get out and walk behind me” Jacob said softly. I looked at the cuffs still on my hands and looked back outside ‘This just won’t do’ I thought. I wasn’t going to get scolded just because I didn’t want to wear these cuffs anymore though. I unlatched the door with my right hand and closed it with my left to finally walk around the car to see that Jacob already started walking toward the building. I didn’t catch up with him until we were standing and waiting for the elevator.

The building was still as old fashioned as ever and when I went inside it gave me the cold chill and not the chill that Jacob still gave me every time he was near. multiple people were looking at me and all of the were glazes as if I don’t belong here. In all honesty, I didn’t. All the women and men in this one lobby were all beautiful in some way… with the clothes I was wearing I stood out like a sore thumb.

Bing-Bing

The elevator came after all the stares from other people finally got the best of me. As I stepped inside even the crappy elevator music got to me. I cracked my middle finger with my thumb again. We stopped at the 23 floor and as soon as I took a step out everyone got quiet and stared at me.

Do I look like an alien or what?

Jacob started walking again and everytime we past someone that stared at me I ignored each of them because I knew when I cleaned up a bit they all would be staring at me for a different reason. He led me to a room with no light and only three other figures were in there.

“This is Kelly” a short-haired, green-eyed, brunette married 23 year old girl that was a bit taller than the kid standing next to her, came up to me with a fake smile on her face. I wanted to say ‘If you don’t want to smile then don’t’ but I don’t have the time for people who don’t want time for me.

“This is Ryan” a black boy about 6 years old with neither a mother or father to look after him anymore. He had a flat top and was about 3’’2 with a  I didn’t know that the government took children so early in their life but I guess they take anyone as their own personal tool anyway. Ryan looked at me and didn’t say a thing but I could tell we had the same opinion about this place.

“He doesn’t talk much” said ... an animal before evolution of man?

“But apparently you do? Last time I checked monkeys don’t talk” I eyed the the furry mammal that when I looked closer to be an ape.

“I am a genetically modified Siberian Ape” As he started to walk toward me to shake my hand as a greeting I wondered if I could consider this all a dream and I was in a comma somewhere in a hospital while my mom was waiting for me to get up and hug her.

“I’m sorry,” I coughed a bit and all three of them took precaution and took a step back. “May I use the bathroom and a phone, please?” I looked at each of them one at a time until the ape gave me an iPhone.

“My name is AXY but most call me Michael.” As he handed me the phone I turned around and started walking to the door.

“Thank you Michael.” I opened the cold blue glass door.

“Do you want me to take you to the bathroom Mister?” Kelly said while she twirled her dirt brown hair.

“I know where it is, thank you… And my name isn’t ‘Mister’ its Alex.” I continued walking till I turned left to a one stall bathroom. I closed the toilet and sat down so I could call her. I dialed the number…

Brrr… Brrr

“Hello this is Mrs. Thomas, How may I help you?” She answered the phone.

“Mom, Can you help me fix my look to the sexy man you wanted your son to be ? Im at 26 Federal Plaza, 23rd Floor, New York, NY 10278. Please hurry before they force me out the bathroom for suspicious activity.” I looked in the mirror to see a old looking man with a beard down to his nipples and the hair on his head starting to connect to his back. I looked really bad not bad as in good ,bad as in bad as in oh hell.

After twenty minutes and three people banging down my door yelling at me to ‘Get the fuck out the bathroom!’ a gentle knock that I knew as soon as the first one came was my mother. I opened the door.

“Alexander Muffy Thomas!” She had a adult sized suitcase and warm arms full of love to go with them. She started to cry on my shoulder. “I missed you so much” the sobes “Me and your father have never stopped looking”.

I backed up from her to take a good look at my maker. She still had her chocolate hair and green eyes that I sadly did not have. “Mom I would love to catch up on lost time but…” I looked at myself up and down “As you can see I need to fix my appearance.”

“I know, sweetie. Your grey eyes are covered by your hair and your skin is as pale as the dead. You're just like your father… wherever he is.” I looked at her again and sat back down on the closed toilet while she opened the suitcase. “Do not worry my boy. You will be turning everyones heads in-” she looked at her golden watch “thirty minutes tops”.

She got to work.

“Come home today okay. Its lonely in the big old house without my boys present and accounted for” She winked and opened the door.
