"Oh, what did you do?" He asked putting his headphones around his neck and clipping the knuckles to a keychain holder on his belt loop, unsure if he wanted to know the answer.

She searched through filing cabinets out of habit. "I did what I had to to survive. They locked me up for research. I showed them my teeth."

"Your..teeth?" He asked then realized what she meant, "Oh, you attacked them?"

She shrugged. "Yes. And they weren't the only ones." She pulled out a file and flipped through it, calloused fingers carefully skimming over the papers. Her expression didn't change. "I never claimed to be a good person. I made my thoughts about that clear."

"Hmm," Tristan looked at the papers as well and then huffed, "I can't read." Then he thought about what she said, "I've attacked people too, I once accidentally killed someone."

She stopped at one paper, fingers hovering over it, and her lips pinched together. "My kills… Were purposeful." She said in a whisper. She snatched the paper and tucked it in her back pocket. "But enough about that. How about we find some food, yeah? I smelled chicken on our way over here." She tried for a small smile, but it was clear whatever she saw in the paper had disturbed her.

"Is..is something wrong?" Tristan asked, worriedly.then felt his stomach growl and he let out a sigh.

She ruffled his hair. "Nothin you need to worry about. C'mon, lets get that stomach fed. I bet the others are hungry too."

Tristan gave a small smile, "Okay!"

She lifted him into the vent, pulling herself up right after, and led him to the kitchen. There, they snatched up as much food as possible and headed back to the others.
Tessa jumped down, reaching up for the bags of food.

Tristan handed the food to her and waited til it was all down before he jumped down

Back in the room, Anna waited for them to get back. she'd heard people start to pass by the room, but never open a door.

"What do you think the rest of this place is like?" Danny whispered.

"If I had to guess, lots of hallways and rooms with other experiments and scientific procedures and stuff. It's probably not as nice as this place." She said, a small attempt at humor.

Used to weak attempts, he gave her a smile. "Yeah."

Tristan jumped down and picked up some food, “Hey guys! Whose hungry?”

"Anyway, I'm sure we'll find out soon. Tess and Tristan should be back any minute now."

"See? literally any minute now!"

Tess handed out the food, only giving herself a small portion. She was silent and broody as she ate, picking at her food and lost in her thoughts.

"Whatcha got?" He hoped it was something good. He was picky, and if he didn't like it, he would starve to death. "I'm vegan," he explained.

Anna gave him a funny look. "Interesting."

"Yeah. Eleven year old vegan. Strange." He scratched the back of his neck.

"Nah, it's cool. just different, and maybe… We're all super different. Maybe that's why they chose us all."

Tristan took a small bite of an apple and sat on the floor.

Danny looked at the pile of food and sighed. He stuck his hands in his pockets and pulled out a Clif bar. He looked at it in confusion. "Huh. Didn't remember that being there." Shrugging, he unwrapped it and took a bite.
