SCP {The SCP That United Them All}

22- Dr. Alto Clef

Iris and Dr. Therman listen in as Dr. Clef approaches Sasha, gently cupping the emerald and diamond pendant around her neck.

"I knew it was you when I saw this neckless. I also wish I could tell you I would be around for a while, but Dr. Bright is sending me right back out again." Dr. Clef says with a sad smile.

Sasha looks him in the eyes. "But I have so many questions! When will you be back?"

"Probably a week or two. It is not a big deal, just some cult trying to summon the Scarlet King's army." Dr. Clef replies.

Dr. Therman looks at Iris. "That is the same mission Dr. Bright was briefing me on. He intends to send Rocky, Clef, and Cain out to investigate."

Dr. Clef looks unhappily at the sad expression on Sasha's face. "You know what, why don't we go enjoy the stars? You have not been outside the facility since you were captured, have you?"

Sasha looks around questioningly. "Are.. we allowed to do that?"

Dr. Clef smiles. "No one will tell me no, and even if they did I don't often listen."

Sasha chuckles. "Does that include our first date?"

Dr. Clef leans in and whispers to her. "Actually, they were all hoping you would break my neck and save their ears and budget the strain of my existence."

As they walk towards the entrance, they continue to talk.

"You know.. I considered it.. killing you that is, but then you said something that made me realize you were different." Sasha says with a gentle smile.

"What was that?" Dr. Clef asks.

"I believe you said, 'this jewel matches your eyes'." Sasha looks at him. "How did you know I was originally blonde, and how could you possibly have known my eye color?!"

Dr. Clef waves to the guards as they exit through the still damaged wall. "If I told you, even now, I can see the real you would you believe me?"

Sasha shakes her head. "I think there is more to it than that."

Dr. Clef shrugs. "I have always been bad at lying to women. Men, all day long, but something about women, most of you are just too smart for that."

As they walk outside, Sasha looks up at a bright starlit sky. "Where are we?" She asks in a hushed tone.

"The Nevada Desert." Dr. Clef replies pointing south. "Area 51, as it is called, is about fifty miles that way."

"THE Area 51?!" Sasha asks excitedly.

Dr. Clef nods. "It is really not all that exciting. The foundation owns parts of it. I think.. Abel is in containment in that very lake."

Sasha sits down in the sand. "I guess.. you have questions.. don't you?"

Dr. Clef sits next to her. "I know as much as Dr. Therman knows.. if not slightly more. I would ask this.. what is your relationship to SCP-GU411?"

Sasha looks at him. "As it stands, right now, I am a bound servant to his will."

"Has he ever...."

"NO! No. It is not like that. I am more of a temporary traveling companion of fate. We share absolutely no romantic connection of any kind!" Sasha replies quickly.

Dr. Clef smiles. "Good.. I was starting to get jealous."

Sasha leans closer. "I think you two are more alike than you know, but you'll always win out as my favorite."

"Is.. it true.. if he was to die would that also kill you?" Dr. Clef asks hesitantly.

Sasha nods. "I have already felt his emotions and pain. I have no doubt that we are linked now by fate." Sasha shuffles, feeling the sexual tension from Rocky.
