"I have to go home"I finally speak up. Pierce and I were walking around a long corridor which seemed to have no end. "If it's because of Jackel please ignore him, he might be an asshole but he's..."Pierce just stopped. "Important"Pierce coughs and continues to walk ignoring eye contact. Something was very wrong. Or well awkward. "Oh um no it's not Jackel it's the fact that I have parents back in the city, and trust me they can be pretty strict" I slightly smile. "Well then, they can wait just a few minutes longer"He says giving a twisted smile. Fear must have swallowed up my face because Pierce started laughing uncontrollably. "I'm joking,...I just need to take some test on you, it's harmless and you won't feel anything"he says before opening a door for me.

I walked into a lab. It was your average stereotypical lab. Test tubes and papers littered tables, things from beyond my knowledge locked up in jars, and stacked on shelves, a skeleton hanging in a corner and finally a large number of mechanisms. "Come on"Pierce said leading me through the room. We stopped at a massive cylindric shaped machine. "Step on here"Pierce said leading me onto the machine.

As I stepped on the machine a large protective glass covered my surroundings and I was suddenly stuck. Pierce must have noticed my discomfort because he yelled "don't worry, your in a scanner, it's going to fix any injures and tell me if you have any problems or diseases". He gave me a thumbs up and then pressed a button. A huge green button.

A blue laser was coming down from above. It passed though me a few times. Every time my fear left and it once again returned. A few minutes after the blue laser never returned and I was able to leave the glass prison. Hey I'm my defense I had a lot of time to get contemplate names.

"So am I fine?"I asked Pierce. "Yup 100%"he smiled. His posture and his voice was a bit uneasy but I shrugged it off. "Cool, can I go home now?"I asked. "Yeah, let me just um...put my notebook away.Meet me out front, if you get lost just ask someone"he directed before he jogged off.

Before I left the lab I looked at the machine I was just in. It was still on. On the control pad that Pierce was messing with a mini-iPad sized screen is on. It shows my name,height, weight and two numbers. 50 and 50. There is nothing shown on the screen to help me decipher what the 50 and 50 mean. As I look closer I saw tiny percentages. What does that mean?

Then it hit me, Pierce would kill me if I don't get there. Damn! I run out of the lab and rush to the front. It took some time and concentration but I found it.

"You made it"Pierce said. "Yeah"I fake smile. I had the sudden urge to ask Pierce about the numbers but then he'll know I was snooping. He would probably get angry or something like that. Hell me might even make life miserable for me. Well more than it is already is.
