Locked In

The president blinked at the light. He looked tired. The skin under his eyes was saggy, as if he needed sleep. He was wearing a rumpled blue suit and a red tie.

“Who … what do you want?” he asked.

KC told the president how she had figured out that he’d been cloned, and about her plan to rescue him.

The president stared at KC. “Cloned?” he asked, rubbing the stubble on his chin.

“Did they drug you, sir?” KC asked. “Is that why you don’t remember?”

The president nodded slowly. “Yes, I must have been drugged.”

“By those goons who caught us?” Marshall added.

“I—I guess,” the president agreed. “I can’t remember.”

KC shone the flashlight around the room. There was a small bed, a chair, and a radio on a table. On one side was a tiny bathroom.

“Mr. President, your clone is making an important announcement tomorrow,” she said. “He’s going to tell the world that it’s okay to clone humans.”

The president didn’t say anything. He must be exhausted, thought KC.

“We have to stop them!” she went on. “Otherwise—”

“Otherwise those guys will run the world!” Marshall interrupted.

“Yes, stop them,” the president said.
