This is probably the worse way Zhara could’ve found out that she was once a test patient in a Drug Tunnel Experimental Facility, which yes, the photo confirmed she was. I was planning on telling her later, after we got back to my house where we’d be able to talk privately. But now I’m going to have to explain everything to her when we get to the training pit, which isn’t the ideal place to tell a girl that she was once used for testing new drugs. She’s going to have a lot of questions, like why she ended up in the facility and under an alias name. And why on earth her blood veins are darkening right now. The first two questions I can’t answer yet, although I fully plan on looking into them. The latter I do have an answer for unfortunately. Her body is reacting to the scan that I’m assuming her neighbor did. A scan can detect just about everything, giving x-ray vision along with reflecting sounds, which means anyone doing a scan can see and hear whatever they want. Scanners are very rare and it makes me wonder what sort of connection her neighbor has.

Scanners have side effects too, one being it counteracts with certain types of electronic chips. Which means, Zhara has an electronic chip planted in her. It could be from her time at the facility. But I was under the impression the organization removed the chips after they rescued the subjects. So now I’m wondering if someone else planted a chip on her.

Telling her this isn’t going to be easy, especially since I promised her everything will be okay.

I need to fix this. Somehow.

I just hope she gives me the time to fix it.

Out of the corner of my eye, I glance at her, trying to get a vibe on what she’s thinking.

She’s staring at her arms, her face pale, her eyes crammed with hurt. I hate that I’m part of the reason the hurt is there. Hate that I hurt her. Hate that the morning turned out this way. She’d done well with the whole proving-to-Tank-and-Ralpho-that-we-were-all-dating situation, even if watching her kiss Xavier did make my jaw tick a bit. He won’t admit it, but he enjoyed the kiss, even if it was all supposed to be a show. Xavier rarely shows emotion—well, other than being pissed off at the world—but his guard went down during the kiss. It’s been a long time since his guard has gone down.

“This will go away, right?” Zhara suddenly whispers, tracing her fingertip across her blood veins.

I nod my head once, worried we’re still too close to the scanner. “You’re going to be fine, sweetheart.”

She doesn’t look relieved, her skin paling even more.

Not knowing how else to comfort her, I reach across the console and lace my fingers through her’s. I expect her to pull away and wouldn’t blame her if she did, but she surprises me when she leaves her hand in mine.

The gesture gives me a drop of hope that when I tell her the truth she won’t fucking run for the hills.
