FADE IN:

 

EXT. BUS STATION IN MASS. - EARLY MORNING

 

Narrator

 

Adam sat alone on a bench in the station. A woman passed him by. She had beautiful flowing hair. It flickered, lighting up her features. What was she feeling like at this point? Was she thinking of her life? He shuddered, then another thought popped into his head. Youth. His daughter. Where was she now? What is her position in this grand scheme?

 

ADAM:

 

She must have ended up somewhere nice with a lot of money. She must be surrounded with those many companions, and maybe has even found true love. True love! Oh my daughter. What life you lead I shall never know.

 

NARRATOR:

 

His new job had renamed him entirely. He was another clone: with his black briefcase, black suit, a black tie, and a clean white shirt; and he was the shining orb of capitalism. He was a logo. Put with a spin he was: A man without a plan, even though, God, they all knew just where he was going.

 

ADAM:

 

The bus is really late this morning.

 

Suddenly, ADAM spots a black car moving towards him. The car gets closer. It is right in front of him. Someone rolls down a window. The driver's window is down. A man with dark eyes is grinning at him.

 

DRIVER:

 

Need a ride?

 

ADAM

 

I’m waiting for the bus.

 

The driver smiles at him, half decently, despite his stained yellow teeth that stick out like candycorn..

 

DRIVER

 

We like your kind.

 

ADAM

 

I'm sorry?

 

DRIVER

 

Do you want it or not?

 

The man’s tone became a little more aggressive.

 

ADAM

 

No I will wait for the bus.

 

Next a guy in the back rolled down his window and said, "Shoot him"

 

Adam found himself panting.

 

ADAM

 

Wait! What the hell? I don’t want any trouble and I’m just on my way to work. Look, I don't want this.

 

DRIVER

 

Take his wallet!

 

Then there were two man who jumped out of the car. One of the men pushed Adam to the side of the car and roughly searched his coat pockets where he pulled out Adam's wallet. The bus station was quiet.

 

The men took all the money in his wallet and handed it over to the driver.

 

DRIVER

 

We don't need this piece of shit.

 

The driver handed Adam back his empty wallet as the passenger got out with a gun in his hand.

 

PASSENGER

 

We've been here waiting for you all morning.

 

The passenger grinned slyly while fingering the trigger.

 

CARL (PASSENGER)

 

Now I’m asking you right now. I’m giving you a bill. See this? This is what you will get if you cooperate. Are you going to cooperate, yes or no?

 

ADAM nodded his head up and down and walked over to the door of the black vehicle. This is it, he thought, This is it.

 

INT.  BLACK VEHICLE - MORNING

 

He opened the back door and got inside the vehicle. It was cool inside, the windows were completely darkened from within. There was a woman in the car beside him.

 

VICTORIA

 

Victoria is my name.

 

She moved towards him. He moved slightly backwards in the seat. His palms growing hot and sweaty.

 

She slid her fingers along to the side of his chest. Then latched onto his wrist. Her grip was strong, and then she kissed him gently on the cheek. She pulled her arms around his neck, as he grimaced.

 

He felt so alarmed. Shaking, he began to move back against the seat. But then he froze, something forced him into a state of shock. ADAM managed to collapse along the side of the opposing door.

 

The girl named Victoria moved away from ADAM in the car. The passenger spoke softly to her.

 

CARL

 

We still need you to cooperate.

 

VICTORIA

 

I'm too young for this.

 

DRIVER

 

You know we cannot have her with us anymore anyways.  She's a threat. She is still a criminal here.

 

CARL/ PASSENGER

 

Who gives a damn about the girl? we have him. That is all we will need.

 

Carl moved his head towards the Girl. He looked at her in a chilling sort of way. His eyes pierced in her direction. Her body was going cold, her heart filled with panic, then her vision went black and white. She was so afraid.

 

She couldn't speak anymore. Carl pulled out gun.

 

Carl

 

Kill?

 

DRIVER

 

Yes please. Before she kills us all.

 

“Ha-ha”

 

Then a gunshot is heard.

 

NARRATOR:

 

Heidi looked over to someone familiar through her haze. She sprang to her feet, surprising even herself as she ran at incredible speed towards a body that seemed suspended. When face to face she knelt down with her lips to his and kissed his lips, his tongue was cold, though he was not yet dead. She kissed him hard. His eyes peered through to hers and he gazed up as if he were seeing an angel.

 

Then he looked up and stroked her arms, she leaned over once more and kissed him, but he struggled to push her away.

 

SAM

 

I am safe once more. I am safe at last.

 

HEIDI

 

You are so far away, but you are not yet gone. No, you are just half asleep...

 

SAM

 

When? When? Where?

 

“It’s 3008." She smiled, her eyes glittering with tears.

 

Then he closed his eyes.

 

INT. BLACK VEHICLE- EVENING

 

NARRATOR's VOICE:

 

Adam mumbled something through his hazy catatonia---ughrhmph--. He was drooling and felt he was in a dream. It was As if in the back of his mind there was an alarm clock going off warning him to “wake up!" Adam managed to force his lids open to meet the frozen gaze in Victoria’s vacant eyes.

 

They pulled into an office building that was far back behind an airport. It was very quiet. The drivers parked in the private lot then proceeded to open his door.

 

CARL

 

Come with me, you will be pleasently surprised.

 

NARRATOR:

 

Adam knew he wouldn’t be able to resist this, not with a gun pressed to his back. The men led Adam down a narrow path to an entrance shielded by large bushes.

 

Carl unlocked the door with a tiny metal key. Adam went in first and then all proceeded to follow after him, they quietly locked the door behind him.

 

INT. STRANGE OFFICE BUILDING

 

His stomach was empty still and his head started hurting. The man poked him to move ahead down the hall. The hall was dimly lit. Soon they were at the entrance door. One man pushed the door and beckoned Adam to do the same.

 

Adam and the other man walked in and the doors slammed shut behind them with an incredible loudness.

 

“Sit down.” Someone said.

 

The carpet inside was green and the stench was creating in him a sick discomfort.  The room was too cold. Everything, every piece of furniture had been placed in such a way that he felt as though nothing he touched hadn’t been previously assigned a position within this room.

 

The air felt incredibly gross.

 

CARL

 

I’ll get you a drink.

 

He quickly returned with cold water.

 

CARL

 

Is this your daughter, Heidi Jenkins? The man pulled out a picture. Adam had no recognition of the face. He had never seen her past her infancy… The man continued “She's been held here for a number of days until we learned that she indeed had a father. Heidi's mother who passed away last year"

 

We need you to sign over a release form so we can recover her records and begin the steady process of…

 

Adam looked to the man with surprise. He thought of the occurrence earlier and could have slapped himself had he the nerve. Then of course, a pain gripped his gut but he played along.

 

ADAM

 

Lilith is dead?

 

CARL

 

Jenkins, have you ever come in contact with your daughter?

 

ADAM

 

My wife, Lilith, left when she was pregnant and I never saw her again. I never saw my little girl either.

 

CARL

 

You confirm then, that she is indeed your daughter.

 

ADAM

 

I had a wife for a short time and she left me. Yes, she named her Heidi. Yes, my last name is Jenkins. Yes, then. Yes. I have a daughter. What the hell is going on?

 

CARL

 

So you must be her father then. You owe quite a fair amount.

 

ADAM

 

For What? What has she done?

 

CARl

 

Mr. Jenkins, I assure you it is all being sorted out. I simply need to collect some data for the police report. Your  daughter is a run away. We have her in our care.

 

Adam stood. He began reviewing Lilith memories. How could he handle this sort of intimidation, despite that his stomach was now turning in knots and he thought he could taste the own puke in his throat? He got up and headed straight for the door.

 

Then he turned back.

 

ADAM JENKINS

 

Where is Heidi?

 

Carl opened the door and they escorted him outside.

 

NARRATOR:

 

She had probably always wondered who her father was and What he looked like. And likewise, he had always wondered about the child that he never got to see.

 

And his wife, he’d not even had the heart to file a lawsuit for divorce. He'd assumed she’d left him for good or just got carried away and that was the last he’d see of her. It had broken his heart because in part he was responsible, he hadn’t wanted a child then, he was twenty then. He wasn’t in a rush to have a family, even a wife.

 

And now, this girl didn’t even come into his life before she was gone for good.

 

“Heidi!” Adam yelled. Was he dreaming as he left the strange warehouse and ugly circumstance.

 

Heidi was outside with two men at her side, looking as beautiful as an angel. She didn't look much like her mother, but her eyes were so bright.

 

He looked into his daughter’s eyes.

 

'my God', he thought.

 

CARL

 

But, they will...

 

HEIDI

 

I'm going to go home!

 

Carl let his gun fall to his side. Then Adam and Heidi were led back to the vehicle.

 

EXT.-HIGHWAY-LATE AFTERNOON

 

Heidi relaxed. Mr. Jenkins kept his focus set ahead towards the highway. Then he spoke, the first clear words ever to his only daughter.

 

ADAM:

 

What happened to you? I’m sorry. How could I have not known about your, my wife, your mother.Heidi had never seen her father up close before.

 

HEIDI

 

How did you find me here?

 

ADAM

 

I was brought here for some reason.

 

HEIDI

 

I'm your daughter! Can you tell?

 

ADAM

 

Yes I can. I can see your mother in your eyes. But who have you been with? What happened to your mother?"

 

Heidi laughed

 

HEIDI

 

I really don t have any answers.

 

ADAM

 

No?

 

HEIDI

 

They’re not just the CIA” Heidi said.

 

Heidi looked ADAM in the eyes. She reminded him of a fragile little girl. She was a vulnerable girl. Then he admitted to himself, it was his own daughter.

 

ADAM

 

You are beautiful.

 

HEIDI

 

You wouldn’t believe me if I told you what has happened here.

 

She continued. Your heart wasn't beating, you were completely unconciouse and your body had lost its temperature, but you weren’t dead…it’s a scienctist's dream! Can I call you dad?

 

ADAM

 

I am your dad.

 

Heidi was definately a strange girl.

 

Mr. Jenkins didn’t doubt held given birth to an beautiful daughter. He didn't know who "they" were…he didn't know what "they" did…More than anything he’d never even known why this building had even existed.

 

ADAM

 

So you say there's another, many others so they don't even need you anymore.

 

HEIDI

 

They captured me for a reason...I suppose.

 

Adam Jenkins pulled into his quiet peaceful apartment lot, where he parked his car with ease. After he parked the girl yanked open the door and headed up the sidewalk without even being directed to the entrance.

 

Heidi was at the door, waiting patiently. Mr. Jenkins turned the knob. Then they went up the long staircase instead of the elevators to room 4112. Her energy amazed him.

 

INT. MR. JENKIN'S APARTMENT

 

As soon as he opened the door she headed straight for the couch. There was actually no TV or a speaker system. No, it was just a graveyard.

 

“So, what is do you do?” She asked.

 

“My job" He said. “Robot Mechanics.’ He continued.

 

He was trying way to hard to talk like he wasn’t 26 years in advance.

 

HEIDI:

 

So have you invented anything?

 

ADAM:

 

I've invented an electrical robotic puppy, but the dog never said anything plus it gave me the creeps. I'd keep it on my desk and its eyes would follow me, so I put it in the closet. It’s actually still upstairs in my room.

 

HEIDI:

 

Great!

 

ADAM

 

Please, just don t bring it down here.

 

He looked at her, then went upstairs and pulled out a different invention, not a puppy. He came down and handed it to her.

 

She held it.

 

HEIDI

 

What is this?

 

ADAM:

 

X-RAY vision.

 

ADAM

 

Press the small yellow button.

 

HEIDI

 

OK

 

She pressed it and held it down and from the front a small bulb emitted a tiny thin beam of light. Now angle it towards the lamp. He pointed it towards the light and the light literally lit the bulb right through the glass. This is cool! She said.

 

I have to admit I ve never seen anything like this. Can I borrow this? She asked. Sure, he said.

 

Her father had went to bed upstairs and she slept on the couch, not that she cared. She d kept her eyes shut the whole night, to prove she was sleeping.

 

Heidi woke up. She blinked twice, before she could fully absorb the everything, the telephone rang, startling her whole moment entirely. She actually got up, walked over and stood over the stupid machine.

 

Then, idiotically picked up the phone. "Hello?"

 

JOHN

 

Oh. Um. Hi. This is John.

 

JOHN

 

I m asking for Mr. Jenkins," he's got a package in the post office that has not been picked up.

 

HEIDI

 

Ok I ll tell him she said. Thanks, bye.

 

Heidi began looking around the kitchen, which was now hers too. Then headed upstairs. She pulled on a coat from the closet.

 

She pulled the coat on and headed out the apartment, remembering to shut the door behind her. She headed down the hall towards the backstairs.

 

But then, she felt something or heard someone. A  door shut and then she turned and it was as if de ja vu...he was staring her in the face.

 

SAM

 

Hello there.

 

HEIDI

 

Hi. Hello.

 

I don't know which way to put it, but can I come in for a second? My apartments a mess, too much stuff everywhere. I m not sure I know you you haven t even told me your name. I'm just some guy but if you don t mind can I just sit on your couch for a few minutes, maybe an hour? She looked at him questioningly.

 

SAM

 

I ll make you lunch. He said. I ll also make you a nice warm cup of coffee.”

 

HEIDI

 

Ok. Fine. Only for  amoment but then I'm afraid you must leave. This isn't really my home yet.

 

He walked to her door, opened it still aware she hadn t locked it in the first place. She closed the door and before she could offer him a seat he was fishing through the cupboard. Heidi walked over to an armchair and sat down. She thought that might be a risk but she was so tired, and unbelievably full of thoughts that she just needed to sit to sort of wipe away her mind.

 

Sam came over and sat next to her, he had two cups of hot chocolate and handed her one. She sipped the hot chocolate and then felt slightly more relaxed. In fact, she felt incredibly better.

 

SAM

 

Is this your boyfriend's place and are you married?”

 

The question seemed rude, but she felt she understood.

 

HEIDI

 

No, It's actually my father's apartment.

 

SAM

 

Oh. I see.

 

HEIDI

 

Actually, I never knew my father up until now. I just met him yesterday.

 

SAM

 

Where were you before you met your father?

 

HEIDI

 

I can t tell you. She said. Plus, I don t really know who you are.

 

Sam looked seriously down towards the coffee table, but Heidi was looking straight into his eyes

 

SAM

 

Would you believe me if I told you I knew you once?

 

HEIDI

 

Nope. And although you seem familiar I have no idea who you are.

 

SAM

I could say a lot of things that might convince you of my honesty.

 

 

HEIDI

 

How did you do it?

 

SAM

 

I didn't do it all alone. He said. You re not the only one who s been in there, you re not the only one who thinks that there's something wrong with it here.

 

Heidi caught the secrecy in his eyes. She thought of something to say then,

 

HEIDI

 

If this ever stops, when its over you know, whether or not they ever remember. Thankyou.

 

SAM

 

You don t have to die. I'd never force you to die, in fact I ll do the opposite. I ll make sure you get every chance to live just like you deserve to. And we can be together forever, just like it should be. I am just like you, Heidi, and we are all in the same place.

 

FLASHBACK- INT. BUS

 

Her memory was coming back. Heidi had been on a bus with her heading towards a large tower. This was part of the curriculum for chemical and bio-chemical responses. There was a man sitting beside her, he was bald and his eyes were a crystalline blue. She had realized then that she'd been staring him straight through.

 

HEIDI

 

Sorry. She said. He stared straight ahead. So what brings you here? Then she lowered her voice, ‘If I don t get this credit I ll pretty much be transferred.'

 

"Touchy" The man said.

 

“Why are you coming here?” She asked.

 

“I actually work here and make sure everyone gets in alright, and gets out.” Heidi stared into his eyes.

 

They entered a dark tunnel. She seemed unaware of the danger she would soon encounter.

 

When they arrived at the factory, guides led all of them through metal fences towards the first entrance, then they were obliged to removed extra baggage, such as backpacks or briefcases.

 

INT. LARGE FACTORY

 

THE ROOM WAS WEIGHT SENSITIVE. THEY WERE TOLD THAT ANY

 

sudden movements could set off the alarms.

 

The main guide was female with a tan complexion and seemed to know what she was talking about.

 

She led them into a large room. Within that room were many fascinating invention, anti-gravitational experiments and new technology, books of discoveries and projects no one else knew existed.

 

Many actual working inventions were secured by invisible laser mechanisms.

 

TOUR GUIDE

 

This is the place our most innovative works get displayed. The products always give full recognition to the designers. As you see here these metal codes have the product placement number, date of patenting. They have the name of the publisher, manufacturer, inventor and all its requirements.

 

Heidi moved back from the large crowd of students towards a small hovering vacuum cleaner. She went over to read the description but she'd only read up to three sentences when the man she had sat next to crept up behind her.

 

"Do you trust me?" He asked. With that kind of a tone that made her hairs stand on end. Then he led her to where no one could see them.He pulled her arm and led her along a small hallway and picked two locks leading through even narrower places.

 

“Here. Look.” He said.

 

Heidi looked down from the small glass cube. From that viewpoint they could peer into an enormous room, it was more like an auditorium. Smoke was emanating from random pipes sprawled about. There was a thin layer water, or was it water? It just lay there. Then she saw the boy.

 

“That is Bryan.” Sam said.

 

Bryan looked to be around fourteen. He was sitting in an armchair in front of a television set. The horrible thing was the set wasn't showing anything, it was completely blue.Then he shut if off. He got up and walked across a bridge between the acres of water and into another section.

 

"That's not even the worst of it." Sam said.

 

“The training room” he spoke. The boy entered an open expanse that looked like a maze.Giant soft boards stood up like cards made what looked like a house. The boy traced his hands over a screen willing images to appear directly from his mind.

 

The images appeared and then Heida gasped.

 

"Holographs!" Heidi exclaimed, "Does he know its not real?"

 

“No,” Sam said. "But he must know somewhere deep inside that’s it’s all just part of the reprogramming”

 

“What about his family? Heidi asked.

 

"He has no family."

 

“But you haven't seen all of it.’ Sam whispered.

 

Suddenly the ceiling started, and sparks began spewing from the ceiling in the room they were looking in on.

 

“Oh no.’ Sam said. Then the boy, Bryan yelled out in a strange voice.

 

" Ow! What was that? "

 

The buzzer went off for a moment but they both, Heidi and Sam, could feel the urgency, were queit. The buzzers stopped and the boy made a hamburger appear on the screen.

 

He seemed to think he was eating it as his hands motioned thin air into his gobbling mouth. “They've gotten so much stronger.” He said. “Ever since they began” he lowered his voice “kidnapping.”

 

“Kidnapping?"

 

“You understand now.” He said, but he knew she hadn’t quite gotten it yet.

 

“They wouldn’t agree to let anyone come here without confidentiality.’ Sam said. "You shouldn't have come here."

 

"What do you mean.."

 

"Are you unlike the others? Were you not selected specifically apart from others in your University? Didn't you find this a bit odd?"

 

“Yes. Well, sort of."

 

“You're going to have to get out.” Sam said.

 

“You think they re just going to keep us here? To Do what?” Heidi asked.

 

“Try not to forget this...ok? Try to listen closely, These aren't regular people we're dealing with here.”

 

“They're criminals?” She said.

 

“Worse”, Sam revealed.

 

“What have WE done?” Heidi asked.

 

"They're not human, I mean...they are the scientists."

 

Sam looked at her boldly. Heidi looked perfectly calm, but she was terrified, what she saw with the boy made her sick. She couldn't stop feeling it. she felt dizzy. “It can't be legal.” Heidi said.

 

“Actually it is.”

 

"Why not just tell everyone, then?” Heidi asked.

 

“Because of people, like you. I can't bring publicity this soon, I need to target them. That s where you come in. But if we don't get you out now before anyone notices you re gone, terrible things could happen.”

 

~*~

 

INT. MR. JENKIN'S APT. - EVENING

 

Heidi took a long sip of her hot chocolate and Sam stared off into space. The she let him put his arms around her and hold her as he kissed. Heidi wanted to think, to remember what happened next. She wasn’t ready to recall the plans that were made, it wasnt over yet. She reached her hand to his chest and felt his heart thumping.

 

She felt what she had been looking for, it was a small diamond object he wore across his next down to his chest. She pressed one finger to it, and felt it.

 

Some recollection sent her pressing again through her thoughts, more so than her dreams. But the revelation would not come. She instead felt nothing but the rush of her exhilaration. The necklace heated up, she could feel the heat soaking her up. Then, in a split second..the piece cracked.

 

~*

 

Mr. Jenkins had planned on going to work that day. Had planned on sitting at work toying with his air pressure mechanism and designing a fuel efficient vacuum for impossible surfaces. He had some pretty impressive ideas. She s my daughter! He thought, Yet, she s unlike any human I ve ever come in contact with.

 

"Mr. Jenkins, I heard about your daughter and my condolences," someone he'd barely contacted said, "If it helps I lost one myself."

 

Mr. Jenkins managed a thanks and shuffled off to his car. Mr. Jenkins had succeeded in missing two days of work, without proper explanation or notification. But they knew about his daughter so he was sure it would be cleared up.

 

That night, before Mr. Jenkins arrived, Sam was laying with Heidi on the floor of Mr. Jenkins s apartment. He was rubbing her back and she was sleeping with her head resting on a pillow. She listened to his heart beat while he continued to run his fingers along her back. Then they heard the car door slam.

 

Sam looked at the clock first, then realized the sudden absurdity of a man with his new-found daughter. Sam looked down at Heidi.  Sam left so quickly, but he said goodbye. He shut the door quickly and went back to his own apartment. Heidi quickly snapped awake, she then remembered his exit. He d said goodbye and then shut the door.

 

Sam had left without a sound, but he had brushed everything as if soundproofing her very existence. If any invaders were to come, they d have their own broken limbs to bear and it wouldn’t be hers. Right before he d left he d said something and she could still remember, I love you. He d said. What else was there to say?

 

Heidi sat on the couch in the dark. She didn t have any weapons so she was toast if anyone happened to break the lock to their subtle apartment. Creak

 

Heidi flinched as she heard the knob on the lower entrance turn. She clutched tight to the flannel blanket. Then the footsteps climb the stairs. Something told her not to worry. She was precise. It was her father, Mr. Adam Jenkins, who turned the key in the lock and entered the apartment. 'Fools' she whispered.

 

Heidi then allowed herself to remember the one minute secret that she d not told anyone. The little slice of time she d forgotten. I fooled them. She thought. That whole time they thought I had been taken. Now they'll never get what they're after. Heidi had been born such a remarkable memory that nothing important had ever slipped past her awareness.

 

As she began to focus she could imagine it. Her new-found strength pressing and pressing calculating her next life. In fact, she was still in the womb as long as she was here. Somewhere she was inside her mother still moving and moving. She would be growing and learning and when she came out then, now, whenever she did she would be the same.

 

Yet being the same didn't have anything to do with physical characteristics or limitations. It was something else, the reason she had the gift and the luck she had to meet her friends. Inspiration, but even more than inspiration. It was a liquid fuel that she feared had already been taken and analyzed by her enemies.

 

It's because they have no imaginations she thought. But it's so metaphorical! It amazed her. Even though they've done such terrible things, they've taken part in the most unimaginable adventure of all time. An undying quest for control. That backfired, literally backfired because of one girl. One girl. Her.

 

Heidi looked down at her hands and pretended they were smaller.She was floating mid-level above the couch in the room and wasn't exactly sure how.

 

'I want to go higher' she said aloud. Then she heard Sam, and found him in his apartment sitting on his brown couch looking down at a notebook.

 

Then he shoved the book aside. She was floating above him. Then he was sharply aware of her presence in the room. He made no motion for the light. Instead he did something unpredictable, he took out a small match and lit a candle on the kitchen table by the counter and she moved to the candle. She moved with the candle it seemed to sense a danger in the room.

 

Sam sensed it to. He lay there quietly but wasn't asleep. Then he got up and went out the room across the hall into Heidi's. He slowly opened the door and the miracle happened. Heidi glimpsed him and the candle and there was a meeting. There was parallel between the two moments and the two rooms had been connected by completely unreadable lines.

 

In between them Heidi had envision a violet pink flower, it was large and brilliant and she assumed it had an important meaning or symbolism. It had softened the experience so that now she was looking at him with incredibly bright light green eyes. His eyes were still a grey-blue. He walked into the room. His eyes seemed to reflect the empty hollowness and grey. It was a soothing reflection not dead or cold, but of passion.

 

He knelt down beside her and she closed her eyes to cover her stagnant perception slightly so she could feel his thin tongue pressing into her mouth. Now the truth had come out. He pulled her tongue into his mouth but her kiss was so different than any he'd ever felt. So real. He wouldn't admit that she'd meant the world to him...even if she hadn't managed to save the world.

 

One night she had been asleep. This was when she still lived with her single mother. Yes she had run away, but for the same reason Heidi had been kidnapped. She had had a short conversation with a black man in a small room. He'd played the guitar and afterwards they began to make plans for something he had said, 'You'll find out how the moon appears.' he told her. Then he had told her about the disguise. 'You won't really be in there.' he said. 'Only a part of you.'

 

She lived a normal life up until school, when she had decided to run away. Her mother had called the police she Heidi was found, but her leaving was kept in a record. When she went back to school she was then seen as a threat or dissident teen. She was treated like she was lower class because she had been on her own for over a year. Heidi changed during that time. That's when she met the group.  It was an organization solely for exposing things. Heidi perfected the plan, and proved and amazed them with her capabilities. Time ran short and they knew her mother would eventually find her.

 

While Heidi was in her role, her father Mr. Jenkins became acutely aware of the things that had been going on and made a final decision to step down from his machismo aligning ladder which he'd never quite fit anyways. He'd been doing 'other' research, into the early events of his wife's past and found out some indulging evidence.

 

HEIDI

 

So I had to do some digging of my own. Pretty soon I'd discovered there really isn't anywhere you can go without being under threat of an electrical tap/hack. Considering electricity can be manipulated by magnetic poles any high tech government facility with loads and loads of support is capable of mind control.'

 

So there it was. Of course why else would anyone be so quick to deny the possibility? Those who safeguarded it's possibility were most likely contributing far more than they were even aware of. Case in point.

 

Mr. Jenkins had never felt so much energy in his whole life. The articles were so unlike any of the others he had ever read. He hadn't gotten them legally, he was a professional software mechanic and knew enough about hacking. The information wasn't even legally his at all.

 

When Mr. Jenkins had finally made it to his small apartment he'd found Heidi as still as a stone, fast asleep on the couch. He'd decided not to give it a second thought and went upstairs, got changed and went to bed. Heidi had then begun having a vivid recollection of her birth and of actually being in the womb. It was a warm dark place so red and so connected to another time.

 

She had thought of Sam unintentionally because she wasn't sure if it was safe and then had somehow managed to find him where he was which was only five doors down. He had even managed to find a place close to hers. But, something wasn't right. She knew it. She could feel the danger. He'd done something extreme, he'd come into her room and kissed her then, after she'd seen him and he'd known she was watching.

 

But when had he left? She couldn't recall. She got up, she knew it could be dangerous but then she thought it was unlikely. The deed was done, God was free. God had been set free and there was nothing they could do to stop it.At that moment, every moment, God was speeding through time at immeasurable speeds correcting and fixing all the damage that had been done. In fact, God had been on her side all along.

 

She crept silently along the barren hall and turned the knob of his apartment. It was unlocked. She found him there on the couch and felt a chill. She crept over and in his eyes she saw terror, true pain. But she wouldn't be afraid. She came closer and he moved over so she could sit next to him, but his gaze didn't shift. Then she put her hands on his chest and knelt over him and kissed him. A gentle kiss. The kiss was hers. It was her kiss and she wanted him to have it. Then he kissed her back. And after that he whispered, 'You never knew who you really were, and now I'm going to tell you.' he looked at her as if expecting a sudden epiphany.

 

Heidi took out from her pocket a small crystal encircled by a metal clasp. 'It only works when I wear it.' She said. because it works out of pure fragile love but also out of friendship. She put the necklace over Sam's head. Sam looked at her with what seemed joy with some regret. He seemed to be regretting something.

 

SAM

 

I was wrong to ever go there. I was too stubborn to realize what was happening. I thought too selfishly to realize that I was no different from anyone else. I went to that school perfectly aware of the horrors ready to take on the role of the bad guy. I would have done it, you know. I can't live with it. I've done horrible things.' This time he got so quiet.

 

'There's no reason to think about that now. It'll only be a matter of time before Americans are outraged. There won't be a city or town within miles without televisions strewn across sidewalks. Pretty soon, there won't be anyone who doesn't know?'

 

SAM

 

You have seen the end.'

 

HEIDI

 

I've seen the end.

 

SAM

 

But not the total end. There was magic. I have died too.

 

HEIDI

 

I didn't really die.It was part of the plan.

 

SAM

 

No.You did die.'

 

SAM

 

Death is an aversion Heidi. They see are watching us. They witness you decaying like the priests in their tombs. You die as a reason to those who would kill. You die as a punishment to those who insist on tearing away at the last bits of my world, my teachings. But you don't lose yourself Heidi, they lose you. They tear and tear at these bones, the artifacts of progress. You die so they may know an end to their tearing.'


HEIDI

But those people, the ones who kidnapped the children, they're evil. They basically are draining the children through electricity...hooking them up to machines to keep them satisfied, the children are immortal and the

 

Scientists? God, Heidi, the scientists are not in power over us. We may be young and confused about life, but therer has to be some explanation. There has to be some reason for it...for all the mind games people keep putting us through, and you especially! Heidi. We will get it right. Just take my hand, let's leave this apartment and go to the place where it all started...

 

EXT. A GOVERNMENT OFFICE BUILDING - EVENING

 

SAM

 

This is where they operate their surveillance cameras and spy on the terrorists. Or in other words, this is where those people watch us. Those are the people, who are watching us right now and there they go in and out of their offices. See them?

 

HEIDI

 

SAM, what are we doing on this planet? Why are you here with me and what are you trying to tell me?

 

SAM

 

Nothing, Heidi, just simply the truth of what I know.

 

HEIDI

 

And what do you know, Sam?

 

SAM

 

That you were sent here, like me, to discover the truth of reality. That you were more than just some scientific experiment. They may be watching me, but they can't see you or take notice. No, we're all programs--don't you see? But Heidi, you're the console!

 

HEIDI

 

I'm a program within a program...I'm a machine, Sam, there's nothing more to it. Or is there?
