tune

Anna sat down and grabbed a small roll, watching the others and tuning out the sounds around her.

"Why is Demitri in their files?" Tessa mused out loud, talking to herself.

"What files?" Anna perked up and looked over.

(Sorry, family dinner in progress)
Tessa blinked up at Anna in surprise. "What? Oh, uh." She pulled out the paper she had stashed I her pocket. "This facility has kept tabs on their experiments. I found their records while looking for our stuff and decided to snoop. Old habits die hard and all that."

"Files? Like on the other trials…" She jumped up and started pacing. "So they're trying to learn from us, our mistakes. Gathering data. So we have to know what they want, and how to not give it to them."

"I like the way you think." Danny grinned.

"Right. So, the question is, why have the other trials failed, and how can we beat the trials. we're basically the lab rats, and we have to find a way to either solve the riddle or get out of the riddle. Soon"

“But what if we fail?” Tristan mumbled, “Will we die?”

"Proba-" She trailed off and corrected herself. "Hard to tell. the important thing is to make sure we know what we're expected to do, and how to survive it. Whatever happens."

Anna looked over at the files. "So, I guess we're the eighth group of people they've tested. and… Nobody's made it out yet."

Tess shook her head. "Correction: One's made it out. Demitri."
(But in the files it says he died)

Tristan’s eyes filled with fear and he bit his lip to stop himself from crying.

Tessa scooted over to the boy and attempted to sooth him, whispering to him in Italian

"No, it's ok. none of the other groups found these files. We have outside information, and from the looks of it, the other groups fought each other. We have an advantage."

Tess raised a brow. "You're not going to ask about Demitri?"

(I was out shopping and then took a shower when I got home but I’m back now) Lacie has been silently listening and watching the conversation. She didn’t want to get in the way.

"Oh, yes right! Who's Demitri?"

"So has the riddle started? Or do we wait?"

She smiled, still calming the boy down. "A friend of mine." She nodded at the files. "The reports say he died, but I think that was a cover-up. He's quite clearly alive and well, if a bit reserved."

'Wait, Really? So… the files are incorrect."

"I think we still have to wait."

Tristan leaned on Tess’ side, “yeah who is that?”

"For him, yes. I'm not too sure about the rest." She considered. "However… with his capabilities, I wouldn't put it past him to play dead to get out. Clever bastard. No wonder you're such a great spy…" the last part she muttered to herself.

Anna nodded. "So the files don't know they're incorrect, and whoever is in control of this can make mistakes like that."

Tessa nodded. "Yeah. So let's just assume he's the only mistake and go from there. I can go get more files if you want?" She said it casually, but she was really eager for something dangerous to do.
