your grandmothers associates any type of information, records. I heard through an inside contact what occurred at the facility. That was not supposed to happen, Rain.”
     
    “Did they tell you, give you the information for my test results?”
     
    He paused. “ Yes.”
     
    “All of them?”
     
    “Are you pregnant, Rain?”
     
    “I don’t know. It shouldn’t be possible, it takes weeks to know, but Dr. Downs said I was already showing signs of the hormone. You are the only one I have been with in twelve years.”
     
    “I know. Where are you? I will hide you. I will protect you and our child.”
     
    “I can’t trust you, Enlai. I can’t trust you. For now, I am safe. Hidden. It will be useless for them to search for me. I can read their thoughts, know their plans. Will you tell them this?”
     
    “No. Rain…forgive me.”
     
    “Good bye Enlai. If I am pregnant and when I have the child, I will contact you.” She tried to touch him, attempted to caress the back of his hand, but her hand went through his like smoke, like a ghost.
     
    “Don’t leave yet,” he said. “I still think this is a dream,” he began. “Things like this do not happen, Rain.”
     
    She sighed. “I know. I still don’t understand what I am. My body, my mind. My head…there are things inside me that I feel occurring, Enlai. It is frightening. I don’t want this and yet, already, I have controlled others to my benefit.”
     
    “You did it to escape.”
“Yet how easy it will be to continue. I don’t want to be around others. For their own safety. Even you,” she admitted. “It would be so easy to go inside of you, read you, I force myself to not do that. I don’t want to do that to you, Enlai. But to John, Lebna, the doctors in that facility, I will do it. I won’t be there ‘project’, their experiment.” She confessed.
     
    “You should not have to be.” He returned.
     
    “Have you found any news regarding my grandmother? Any evidence?” She asked.
     
    “No, it has been thirty years since the experiments, since her death. She methodically destroyed all her records that is what I do know. Rain…can you, can you search the minds of any one you want? Can you find out if any one has any information on the records. If so, you can find them before we do. You can destroy any final records before we get to it. It will keep you safe. It will keep others from being experimented on.”
     
    “I never thought to do it.” She returned.
     
    “I urge you to do such. To protect yourself and others. You were right, Rain. They wish to create a new race of soldiers that knows no fear, no sickness and no death. I cannot see such happening. It will mean the complete annihilation of every freedom ever given by man. Between China, Russia, Iran and the Western Nations there is a search on, for you and for your grandmothers records. You must hide, forever. You must not be found. And if Dr. Downs is right, neither must our child ever be found.”
     
    She closed her eyes at his words, the terror and fear, the anger, the pain and sadness. She would forever be on the run, forever be wanted, looking over her shoulder. And if pregnant she would condemn her child, their child to the same fate.
     
    “Enlai,” she began, fear in her throat.
     
    “Don’t cry, you must be strong.”
     
    “Enlai…this cannot be. I should die, and my body should be burned.”
     
    “Don’t you dare,” he said. “I will figure something out, I will figure out a way for you to be safe. For our child to be safe.”
     
    “It is too late,” she returned, tears falling upon her face, her head bent in dejection, sorrow. “It is much too late. Forget me, Enlai. I am sorry. Forget the child. I’m sorry, Enlai. I’m so sorry.”
     
    She disappeared from his eyes.
     
    “Rain, no!” He screamed.
     
    Rain left his room, found herself back in her body, her breathing rapid, heavy, tears still falling down her eyes. Her head hurt, but she had to
