Zero's POV:
As Olin was explaining things, I was starting to be more and more glad that he took me with him. I'd probably still be inside that lab if not for him. As Olin continued, I noticed that Henry couldn't stop staring at me. Do I look weird? Ah, I still don't know what I look like. While Olin was telling his story, a man came into the house. “Ah Sebastian!” Henry suddenly interrupted. “Good afternoon.” Sebastian said in a calm voice. Sebastian looked at me, and it looked like he suddenly realized something because he suddenly asked “Henry, could we talk in private?” with a worried look on his face. Henry replied, “Yeah, of course.” he turned back to us, “I'll be back in a minute.” He stood up and walked out of the room with Sebastian. Now Olin and I were alone.
“So..” Olin began, “What's your name?” I don't have a name. Olin suddenly stood up and got me a pen and a piece of paper. “If you can’t talk, just write it down, alright?” he said. I grabbed the pen and the paper, and I wrote ‘Zero’ down. Now it seems more like a name. I should have written down ‘test subject 000’ but that will seem suspicious. I gave the paper back to Olin. “Ah, so your name is Zero! That's such a cool name!” he replied. “After the story I just told you, do you still have any questions?” he asked me. I grabbed the paper and wrote down ‘Can I get a change of clothes?’ and I gave the paper back to him. He chuckled, “Yeah, I will get them for you! I will go to my house so please wait here for me. I'll be back!" He said as he walked towards the door.
As he closed the door, Sebastian and henry came back to the room. Sebastian said in a serious voice, “Can I ask you some questions.” as he looked me deep in the eye. I nodded. Henry and Sebastian sat down in front of me and saw the paper. “So, your name is Zero.” Sebastian concluded. I nodded. “Okay, first question. Are you a designed human?” he said. How did he know? “No need to be scared, we won't harm you.” Henry said. I grabbed the paper and wrote ‘I am not the final product. 001, 002, 003 and 004 are the know ones. I'm the failed and first one, 000.’ and gave them the paper. Their faces looked like something was confirmed. “Do you know your parents?” Sebastian asked. I shrugged my head. “But you are made out of human DNA, correct?” he asked me. I nodded. Sebastian suddenly said, “The chance is very big that you are our child, Zero.”
