Valley was led back to her room, and sat on the bed, with her fist still clenched. Her bag was gone. The door clicked shut and locked. She looked at the object in her fist. It was a piece of paper.

Valley,

I think we both know why we're here. I know why we can do what we can do. Get paper, and pens, and write a reply to me if you want to know more.

-C

Valley quickly hid the paper under her pillow. She got up, and knocked on the door. It opened slowly, and an agent stepped forward.

"Can I get you something?"

"Paper and pen, please," She asked quietly. The adult disappeared and returned a few minutes later. He handed over the requested items, and closed and bolted the door again. Valley turned her back to the camera, and wrote.

Cedric,

I want to know why I can do what I can do. I want to know what's going to happen to me here. Very few of the patients are like us.

I want out.

-V

She hid the paper in her shoe, and lay out on her bed.
