"What?"

"Well, I'm glad that you're fine. See you later,sis!"

My sister hung up the phone then I look at Noah, he's looking at me, curious.

"What's it?" He ask,

"My sister, she told me that someone called my parents and told them that I've been kidnapped."

"Who's the person?"

"No idea, I think I will ask my father about the person."

I text my father, asking him about who's the person who called him before then I wait for him to answer for me. I wait for a while until finally my phone ring, it's a message from my father.

-Hello my pumpkin. Yes, I got a call from a person, his name is Julian and he said that he demand high ransom then they will release you. But your sister, Jane, she immediately call you and you answer. I'm glad. How are you doing? Do you have boyfriend? Oh, anyway, we will visit you next month, I'll tell you the exact date later, ok? Love you.

When I read the "do you have boyfriend" sentence, I look at Noah then my cheek turns red immediately. Noah just look at me and he smile then he approach me and take a look at the screen.

"Any information?"

"He said the person name was Julian and that's it."

"Julian. . ."

"Do you have any idea?"

"No."

I hear someone knocking at the door then Noah walk to the door, open it and he look so surprised. I follow him and I see Ben standing there, holding some files and there's someone behind him, wearing a mask and a hoodie. I catch a glimpse of her hair and it's red. That person open the mask and it's Candace, I mean her clone.

"What are you doing here, Ben?"

"Can I come in?"

Noah let them in. He can't stop looking at the clone of Candace as she get into the room then they sit at the sofa. Ben place the files on the table. Noah close the door then he sit at the sofa. I sit at the sofa with Noah then Ben start to open the files.

"I know you want to investigate about the mortuary and I want to help."

"And why she's here?" Noah asked while pointing at Candace.

Candace look surprised then she open her mouth,

"W-What. . . Ben invite me. . . and what's your name?"

Noah shake his head then he look away, try to hide his sadness. I hold his hand and try to comfort him.

"How can you help us, Ben?" I ask him.

"I have this files about the mortuary, maybe you want to read about it."

"Thank you. . ."

I take the file and read it. The first file that I read is about the daughter of the late Tom Welston. I read about her biography then I look at the photo. I take a while examining the photo then I realize that the person in the photo look way too similar do Diana.

I show Noah the photo and he look at me while shaking his head. I understand that it's not Diana. It's clear that Diana is Tom Welston, not Misha Welston. I read the rest of the file and I find that they've been cloning people since Tom Welston died because his daughter can't accept his death. That's the only thing that I can found so I put the file back on the table then I take the other one. This time it's about human cloning. From what I read, I can see that the reason why they clone the human is, so they can create an army of the person that have died and they put the latest memory of the person then they program the clone so they can be controlled from the central. There are no information regarding who lead the operation but I suspect it's Misha Welston.

"So, Ben."

"What?"

"Is Misha the person in charge of cloning human being?"

"Yes but she is not the person who create the operation and if you don't know, Misha has passed away."

"Wait. . . what?"

"Fatal car accident, 3 years ago. There's no info about who lead the mortuary now but I suspect that her descent is now the leader of the mortuary."

"I see"

I look at Noah and his gaze is fixed on Candace meanwhile Candace is looking at me and she ignore Noah.

"Candace?" I call her name then she blink several times before answering,

"Yes?"

"Can you tell me the first time you remember when you wake up?"

"Eh. . . I just remember that I see lots of lights, lots of bodies inside a chamber and many scientist. Then I was brought to a room where there's a person who's in charge. We call the person General and the person is a male. The General told us that we must disguise between the humans and we must change our identity. We mustn't show our face when we walk on the street and he said that we will be given the next instruction."

"Then what happen?"

"I was walking by the street and I met an old lady, the old lady ask about my name and where do I live because I looked lost. The memory that the scientist put inside me was the memory of a person named Ben,"

I look at Noah and he just look away, he won't even look at Candace.

"Then the old lady said she knew someone named Ben. The old lady took me to a big house and then Ben opened the door. I remember Ben was surprised when he saw me then I was interrogated by him. He made me fainted and he did something to me but he never told me then when I woke up, I was in the chamber. Ben gave me food everyday until finally both of you showed up."

"I see, what did you do to her, Ben?" I ask Ben

"I took the device that's planted inside her then I threw it away. I studied about the human clone before then I knew the anatomy."

"I see. So now Candace is just a clone but without a person who ordered her to do something."

"Exactly." Ben nod

"Sera, the last file is the most important one. Please read it carefully."

I nod then I open the last file and I can't believe what's inside the file.
