Chapter 2

He heard those voices at the end of the small corridor, the doors had already been closed, leaving only the lighting of the two spotlights in the corridor that for this time were very modern

The last steps had already been taken, I wasn't doing time, no, and I was thinking the right words

I was not gathering the courage to face the most powerful men, no of course not, I was just waiting for them to finish speaking to come out of hiding, and there is no need to be rude after all

Karla: Come on, you can, you can, you can – she said to herself in a whisper, noticing the small silence that was still formed in the room, it was time – Excuse the interruption, gentlemen – she said walking to the center of the room

The place was not that big, let's say, a small desk that was not simple at all in the center of the room with about 6 screens in front of it, showing in each one a different subject in every sense of the word, both for its dress like your hairstyle

Xx: Miss Cabello, how nice to see you again – said one of the subjects, with a Russian nod

Alejandro: What are you doing here? Karla – I take her by the arm with force – leave immediately

Xx: For Alejandro, let's treat how it is due to a beautiful lady – said another of the screens, this one with a French accent

The woman quickly looked at the screens, giving those men a beautiful smile, and then returning her gaze to the one next to her, gently letting go of her arm.

Xx: tell us, Miss Martina, that we are honored to have your presence

Karla: I have a proposal for you – she said, looking at the men in front of her – a new project

* End of Fastback *

To say that it was something new for them was a complete lie, the procedures that were shown were less severe and less rude, it was totally different from what they were used to hearing, it was among the options but not in the priorities so they gave more freedom to the scientists to do what they wanted because they did not give it much importance at that time, but with a little conviction and a good handling of information , I managed to convince them, even though I had to do it from time to time, dealing with the title "Loss of time "that was said to be her project, too much for it, but nothing that a woman could not control, made it seem so easy

I get to turn it into the most important of the entire association. Of course he had help, a lot of help, not only a hand in the project, but the support of his friends, words of encouragement in moments of frustration, where he felt that he could not take it anymore, that he had to give up, a whole speech was not necessary, they only had to remind him! Why did I start all this?

It is obvious that she stole her heart since she met her, her cute face, her bright eyes, her expressionless features made her look so beautiful, so tender at the same time, she looked so defenseless, so fragile, so exposed, just by seeing her in precise promised that moment and it would do everything possible to restore the smile girl

Without rest, the work of days, afternoons, nights, still paid off. It was very surprising to know everything that little girl had achieved, to think that her purpose from the beginning was only to save her life, or to prevent her from having a life full of suffering, which at least would become normal, but she did not expect to see more come. Beyond what is expected

Removing her gaze from the screen, she turned to see the teenager, she was no longer a girl, Smiling proud of what she was still achieving with that girl to improve her life, she got up from her chair slowly approaching the capsule that housed her, placing a hand on top of the glass moon that let the young woman see

Karla: Hello little one – I smile – you will change the world ..., Lauren – I whisper softly – you are the future – she smiled – in you is the solution to many problems – I look at the girl with pride

Many things were going through her mind, one of them, the future of this girl was unpredictable, what could happen to her, be salvation or destruction for the world, if she were to be in the wrong hands, we would be in serious trouble, would she achieve have a normal life like any other human being?!, of that I was not sure, the most that could happen to him maybe would be to fall in love

Suddenly I hear the automatic doors of the room open, taking her out of her thoughts, taking her gaze from the young woman, towards the door, where a male figure was shown

XXX: Hey, Karla – she said putting her hands into her white coat – how's everything going? – I enter the room, closing the doors behind him

Karla: I already told you not to tell me Karla – he rolled his eyes, he left the capsule going to his previous point – tell me Martina or Tini, I don't like Karla – he approached the desk sitting down, he returned his attention to the screen typing some things – and answering your question – turned to look at him with a smile – everything is going very well, Henry.

Henry: if I'm honest, I didn't think we would make it – he approached the desk, pausing next to it, observing the statistics that appeared on the screen – I see that he has improved a lot

Karla: yes he has – he turned to see the capsule – if I'm honest with you too – I look down – I didn't think he would achieve it, that he would manage to endure all that painful process

Henry: Well, to our surprise he did – he put a hand on his shoulder – and if it hadn't been for you, he wouldn't have made it

Karla looked up, meeting a pleasant smile from her friend, returned the gesture giving him a smile. When he was about to thank him, he heard how the doors opened and closed the second. He looked at the entrance, finding one of his best friends who looked somewhat concerned.

Karla: what's up Marc – got up from the desk approaching his friend who looked a bit pale

Marc: We have a problem – he was nervous

Karla: what kind of problems, if it's about chemicals, that's already solved

Marc: It's not really about something else, much more important

Henry: I don't think it's that bad

Marc: it is ... – I look at Henry – Tini ... – he looked at her again – the rumor ... what was being said, it's true!! – He spoke almost in a whisper with some fear in his voice

Karla: Marc, I already told you not to believe in that nonsense – she rebuked him but looked at him with a slight smile on her face – they are just things that people who do not know what to do say – she turned to her desk

Marc: It is confirmed – Karla stopped short, turning to see – the facilities were closed and all the projects were canceled – he looked at her with sorrow, because he knew how much his friend had done to keep this project afloat, he also knew that it was I had become very fond of them

Henry: that's impossible! They can't be that, and less this project, it is the most important of all – his voice is noted with anger and frustration – we have to do something

Karla: are you sure about this? – I ask Marc who just nodded

She put a hand on her face and then ran her hands through her hair

Looking at a fixed point I thought of a solution to stop them or at least be able to save Lauren

Karla: I'm going to talk to them and prevent this – she went back to the desk activating a movement accessibility gesture mode that she had created herself – I won't let anything happen to her
