Red Eye

"You're right, we are free now." She gazed at the deep blue ocean through the big wide full-length glass, herds of medium sized fishes swam by at far while some tiny curious nameless fishes got close to tap the glass. Shu tapped the glass with a finger back, "Leslie, how did they recruit you?", still random questions.

From what he said, Shu could guess the boy went through some horrible pasts and got over them, he was the type that adapted with the environment. She liked how strong this friend was, she only knew to - avoid and hide from her problems. However, one thing was good for her, she braced herself up quick.

"I dropped out. Cusp of goin to jail, instead of juvie, cos I was almost legal, if I got caught ******** around again. Shoplifting and s**t, you know? And he came while I was-- s**t, I don't know. I think tagging some building. Tagging's graffiti and s**t, you know with spray paint? And he said some s**t about what if you were never weak again? That I could be more than what being just plain human had to offer." He shrugged. "What about you? Don't you give me any bullshit, I told you mine. Spit it out."

Shu was looking at Leslie with an "naught boy, that's vandalism" look but of course it was not expressive enough to deliver the full message. She wondered if she would do things like that if she was born in western countries, but it's futile to think of "If this happened, then -".

The petite girl pressed her lips into a thin line, taking a breathe and breathed out. Her head lowered as it was hard to say something she rarely talked about. "Um......I don't remember the details quite well....it was - a few years ago? After joining Deus, so many things happened....I can remember -when I was in a hospital, because of a car accident, someone wore a white coat approached me." Shu looked at her polka dot Converse, "He said he could offer a chance, a job but it meant I have to sacrifice all what I was having that time: identity, family and the normal life. Hmph, it seemed to be the best way at that moment, so I accepted."

That is it, she didn't say any more and her attention caught by the ocean with a glimpse. "Look Leslie! A giant Tuna! Soooo big! It's a few you and me in length!" She yelled at the glass like an excited kid in aquarium throughout the rest of the duty.
