Chapter 43

****DAY 1****

" Riley, can you hear me?" a voice range in her head " Riley, can you hear me "

Riley opens her eyes only to find herself in her consciousness. she didn't remember getting here. the last thing she remembered was sleeping next to Aiden on the couch, now she was here. this must be her father's doing.

While they were planning. whenever they were arriving somewhere, Aiden noticed that Riley held back. it was because of him, he knew it. Riley didn't have to tell her but he knew that she was holding back because of him because she didn't want Wilson to put him through the pain once again.

Aiden didn't like the fact that Riley was holding back because of him. it felt like he was a burden. it's his fault. he should never have made Riley fall for him even after she did. he shouldn't have reciprocated her love. now he was her weakness and she was his weakness.

" Riley, can you hear me " it was Wilson's voice. looking around. Riley still had a lot to do in her world

" yes. yes. I can" she replied slowly

" Good. so the other day didn't go as planned. I want us to try again"

" ok "

" Can you do something for me? I want you to go to a country. can you do that "

" yes "

" Good. I want you to go to Mexico. can you do that "

" I will try " she swallowed hard. yes, Riley was able to go to places, but she was unable to go to places of her choice. she just ends up in random places. now she had to work on going to a specific place

" Ok. let's go "

****DAY 2 *****

Riley woke up again in her Consciousness not able to remember how she got here. the last thing she remembers was walking up last night, on her bedroom bed next to Aiden. she didn't remember how she got there neither

" Riley can you hear me " Wilson's voice echoed again in her head

" yes "

" Good. tells do this again"

" ok "

" I want you to go to Mexico," he says. Riley was unable to achieve Mexico yesterday before going unconscious. she ended up in the same place. that dark world. " can you do that "

" I will do my best "

" Good, let's go "

**** DAY****

" Riley can you hear me " Wilson's voice echoed. she opened her eyes to find herself in her consciousness, again she still doesn't remember anything that happen before this " Riley can you hear me " She frowned at Wilson's voice. Riley was getting exhausted. It's been three days straight, and they still haven't achieved Mexico. why was it so hard. what was she doing wrong "Riley can you hear me "

" yes I can "

" Ok. now let's try this again. I want you to go to Mexico"

" does it have to be Mexico?"

" yes it has " Riley has gone to different countries, why can't she get to Mexico " can you do it?"

" I will try...." Wilson cut her off

" Today we are not going with you will try. you are doing it today "

" ok "

" Good. how about we do this "

" What?"

" do you know anyplace in Mexico or anything about Mexico" his question throw her into deep thought. there was one place Riley was on TV. a place she would love to visit in Mexico. Guadalajara, she thought to herself

" Yes. I saw it on TV "

" And where is that "

" Guadalajara" the name of the place rolled out of her lips

" ok. do you remember any building that you saw "

"yes " imaging the exact building she saw

" That is where we are going. take us there Riley "

Just like that. Riley found herself in front of that building " hhh" a gasp escaped her lips. she was here. she was truly hearing. Aiden has to hear this " Riley " she heard his voice again

" yes "

" Where are you right now "

" I. Mexico"

***** In the lab******

" In Mexico" the words rolled out of her lips

" you!!!" everyone in the room rejoiced, they were already tired of trying to get her to Mexico finally she made it

" Good job Riley, good job " Wilson praised with a victorious smile " you've done well.

Lisa smiled at the poor little girl, glad that she was finally able to get to Mexico. maybe now they will give her a break. Riley looked weak, she hasn't been able to eat for three days because she always went unconscious and the next day they just bring her in while she is asleep. " Riley " Wilson called

" yes?"

" tell us what you see "

" ok. I see" Riley went on to explain what she saw while Linda checked the Internet for the place and it was exactly what Riley was telling them. Linda smiled in victory. this was one big step for them to success

Riley sits on the patient's bed alone as she watches her father speak to the other scientists in the next room. she smiles to herself. she couldn't wait to get back and tell Aiden what she has achieved. she wonders how his down, she hasn't really seen him for two days now and hopes that he was going ok

" hey," a voice interrupted. it was Lisa who just walked in holding something that was wrapped in brown paper. she gave Riley a warm smile which Riley reciprocates

" hey "

" How are you feeling " she had a concerned look

" weak but great " she nodded a Riley's response

" hey " handing the thing over to her

" what is that "

" hamburger. I figured you much be hungry " she shrugs. Riley quickly reached for the hamburger with a bright smiled

" I am. thanks " she began unwrapping it. Lisa sat on the bed, watching Riley dissolve the food

" We are pushing you too hard aren't we?" Riley was stunned by her question, she did know whether to answer " to be honest " Lisa lifts her head and saw the camera which made her frown. she leaned down to Riley's ear and whispered " I don't enjoy this " Riley was more surprised at her words " I am being threatened to do this " Her eyes fell wide open. Lisa leans in again " don't do that they are watching us and don't look at the camera they will suspect " Riley smiled so it will be as if Lisa said something funny

" Really?" Lisa nodded and leaned in again

" I am on your side, I want you to know that " with that, she winked and made her way out of the room
