CHAPTER 10

Stephen was silent through out the whole ride, his mouth pressed in a thin line. From time to time he glanced down at the girl lying at his side.

"002" he muttered occasionally. He thought it a stupid name and couldn't believe that the girl is Goldlinor, his Gold. At last they landed in Duplex camp. His father was waiting for him together with some guards who took 002 away almost immediately. Stephen's father beckoned to him and he obediently followed, fearing what awaits him and yet determined not to be intimidated. It wasn't long before Stephen found himself inside his father's office form the first time in his life. He glanced around the office and realized why his father hardly stays at home. Why, the office is more posh and comfortable than a home. He could recognize many gadgets which he had very much wanted at home when he was younger and which his father have denied him.
