Sherlly's POV:
While we're busy doing our part, Michael just successfully hacked the security system which is making it easier for us to get some information.
"Sherlly? Did you get in the control room's security cameras?", Michael said as I get into it and showed a thumbs up. "Good then... Let's get some hacking done!", he said as he did his thing real quick.
I went back to checking all the security cameras while having one camera footage doing a loop, so no one will check up on us here. As I'm busy checking every camera, one real-time footage caught my attention which got me into panic.
"Guys! Mom is coming here right now!", I said as the two of them looked at me surprised as they went back and do their thing quickly as possible.
The door opened as mom went in looking at us smiling, it made us look at each other acting confused.
"You kids don't need to be alert, all of them are busy right now", Mom said as we all sigh in relief. "Where's Ezekiel? Why is it that he's not here with you?", Mom asks as we nod to tell her where he is.
"Ezekiel is in the isolation room right now, Mom", I said as she got surprised to know he was in that room.
"What happened? How did he get in there?", Mom asks as we look at each other again as Alexa nods her head.
"He got into a fight with Jackson, mom. But don't worry about him, he didn't fight back so he might get out of there later", Michael said as he went back to his computer and kept on doing his hacking thing.
"It's not like he would do anything once he's been isolated either, Mom", Alexa said as she shrugs her shoulders and smiled at Mom.
"He might be sleeping in there instead, mom. You know him, he doesn't like doing anything bothersome", I said as I notice him on the computer walking towards her with his caretaker as he kept on annoying him. "Speaking of the devil, here he is now", I said as he went inside while his caretaker is annoyed at him as he kept on laughing.
He stopped laughing as he noticed mom is with us as he gets serious. "I didn't know you will come here, mom", he said as his caretaker closed the door while he walked toward Michael.
"I know you what you were up to something, my child. So I'm here to give this to you", she said as she hands him a device we had never seen before. "This is a cellular phone which you can do things that a computer can, except some things that a computer can do most", she explained which got us curious.
"How do I use this thing anyway?", Ezekiel said as Michael took the cellular phone from him and looks at it closely.
"I never thought I'll be seeing a real deal! Can I keep this, Zeke?!", Michael excitedly exclaimed as Ezekiel nods his head.
"So what's the catch, mom?", Ezekiel asks like he doubts mom's intention that got us alerted.
"I'm just here to help you all, Ezekiel", she said as she sounded so worried for us but Ezekiel still looks at her like he doesn't believe her.
"So will you tell us the whole truth? Or you will keep on avoiding it like you always do when I ask you about that?", he said that made Alexa mad as she slams her table.
"Hey! What's the sudden change of attitude, Ezekiel?!", Alexa asks angrily as Ezekiel looks at her coldly.
"You want to know why?", he said as he opens his computer and starts hacking some files that Alexa and Michael didn't get to find. "I was doubting about what Dr. Harrison told me before she quits her job here. It got me thinking all day and night, so I asks her about it. But she just avoided my questions, so don't blame me for being cold at her", he said which made us even more curious instead.
"What do you mean about that, Ezekiel?", I ask as he looks at me like he's not in the mood to explain anymore.
"Why won't you tell them, MOM? Or should I say, Jackson's real mother?", he said as he continues to do what he is been doing on his computer.
"What?! Jackson's real mother?!", Michael said as he went towards Ezekiel's station and looks at his computer. "Is this even real?!"
"This is the facility's hidden files that I've been trying to find, but you two got caught while accidentally touching a certain program which got us almost caught in the act", Ezekiel said as our computers started to flash some confidential files about the whole facility's doings.
"Ezekiel! What are you doing?! You all get into trouble once they notice you've all been hacking the system!", Mrs. Lawrence said which made Ezekiel shrugs his shoulders like he doesn't even care about it.
"I still can remember what Dr. Harrison told me before she pushed me out of her office that time. She said 'how I wished to tell you the whole truth, my boy' as she pushed me out and closed the door that time", He said as he looks at Mrs. Lawrence almost he wants to cry about it. "I can't believe it... She's been my mother all this time... I should have been nice to her and spent some time with her, mom...", he said as his voice almost he wants to cry which that was all new to us.
I looked at my computer to find my files and reads it closely as I can be. I got surprised and fell from my chair to know about my real identity.
"Ezekiel... You're my twin brother? But how come my codename is far from yours?", I ask as he helps me to get up. "I still can't believe it... She was so kind to me and always kept on stealing some hugs whenever I was in her office."
"You were sickly that time that they almost thought you will die, but she did everything to save you until you got better. That's why your code number was behind after Alexa was born", he said as he wipes my tears away and helped me sit back on my chair.
"It's because they were looking at us closely if we try to do something to disturb your learning process. I tried to follow their orders so that they won't send me far away", she said as she looks at us almost wanting to cry about it. "Dr. Harrison told me to keep a distance since I tend to get emotional whenever I see Jackson being like what they wanted to have. Seeing you all being so close and still can be a normal child from time to time, it hurts me to know that you all are been imprisoned in this place", she said breaking into tears as Ezekiel breathes deeply to calm himself down.
Michael and Alexa started to act strange as they keep on hacking the system like Ezekiel told them to do.
"Sherlly, I want you to try to find a way in and out of this place. Once you found it, send it to a military base as an anonymous sender", he said as he pats my head. "I'll try to get us all out of here, even if I'll be staying behind to give you all some time to escape", he said which made me grab his hand tight while crying.
"Please... Don't... You're the only one that I have in this place, so let's escape together instead", I said as he hugs me tight.
"The facility is within the city under a building that no one will be suspicious about it", Mrs. Lawrence said which made Ezekiel hugs me tighter.
"How can we trust you about everything you just said?", he asks coldly to Mrs. Lawrence.
"I'll help you all not to get further involvement once the authorities came so that you all can live normally with your real family", she said that made us look at each other and nods in agreement.
"Tell us about Dr. Harrison, our mom, everything about her", Ezekiel said coldly as I hugs him tight.
"We don't have much time left, Ezekiel. We only got 15mins before our class ends", Alexa said while she was busy hacking on her computer.
"Then let's make it even faster as we can", He said as he went back to his station and continues to do some hacking.
I went back to my station and start doing what he said as fast as I can be. I thought he doesn't care about us since he never talks to us that much. I'm glad I choose to follow and listen to him all this time.
