Secrets

A/n thaank you for your review bibbiespark. This chapter here is all about what happened to Mikey and Danny. Note a bit of child abuse in this chapter.

Mikey woke up to find himself in a dark room with only a dim lighting hanging above him. He barely remembered anything from leaving the park with Danny, Mikey looked around the room, Danny was no where to be seen. "Where am I?"
"Some type of facility." he heard someone behind him. Mikey turned to see a girl about his age badly beaten up a black eye, a bruise or two. "Facility for what?"
"You have the altered gene too?"
"What are you talking about?" Mikey asked.
"You know the gene, that lets men get pregnant, and the women who carry the gene just passes it down to her kids."
Mikey then remembered his visit to the hospital for a physical they tested his reflexes and what not that was common in a physical. Then a doctor he didn't recognized told him he had to draw some blood, to check to make sure that he didn't have lukemia or some stupid thing like that. Dr. Turner then came in after checking the paperwork telling him about his condition.
"Where's Danny? and who the heck are you?"
"My name is Zoe, they probably took Danny into another facility to question him."
"Question a two year old? For what Danny doesn't know anything about any of this?"
"Now I know how the people who had hepatius felt like being trapped inside a concealed room." Zoe said as she slid down against the wall and sat.
"How do they find these people? and how did I get here to begin with?
"Man they beat you up good if you cant remember."
*****
"Are you ready to start talking?" a voice came over an itercom.
"About what?" Mikey asked.
"Where are the others? I know you know."
"What did you do with Danny?"
"Tell me what I want to know and I will tell you where Danny is."
Mikey turned over to Zoe who had came over to his side. "I don't know any others from which you speak what others are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me boy! I have a list of people in this city who are Freaks, we as a whole need to deal with it properly. You two know of at least a few."
"Isn't this illegal?" Mikey said.
There was no answer to his question. "God Damn it!"
********************
Danny sat alonein a room,too scared to cry or make a fuss. The door to his room opened and a woman came in, "How are you Danny?"
Danny didn't say anything he knew better then to talk to strangers of any sort. One thing that bothered him was how she knew his name. "Listen Danny, I just have one question and if you answer it for me I will let you go."
"What about Mikey?"
"Him too."
"What?"
"Do you know any men who are pregnant?"
"Huh?"
"Let me rephrase the question, do you know any man expecting the stork to arrive."
Danny thought about it for a moment Dee popped into his head but he was unsure what she wanted Dee for.
"Why do you want to know?"
the woman was taken aback she had presumed the little boy would probably name off the first one he knew instead of playing this game with her. The boy was clever for only being two years old. She had no way of answering this question, she shook her head "you'll learn one of these days when your older, we do this for your own good." She said as she left him to his thoughts.
Danny remembered the trip back to the orphanage with Mikey when some stranger grabbed Mikey and him and started asking unnecessary questions that he believed was nobody's business but Mikey's. The next thing he knew the two were brought here for there strange purposes.

Mikey stormed back and forth in the room. Zoe just sat there and watched him as she pondered on what to do about the situation. Her parents died in a car accident five years ago she had been living with her grandparents since then, when some slight talk about the people with altered DNA came about her grandparents grew tense and told her to be careful. When she asked why, they explained that during the time when this whole thing was new and people were experimenting it. Her grandmother found out she could not bare children so her grandfather went to go through a treatment.
She went for a physical so she could play basketball this year, not long after that she later found herself here.
"There's got to be a way to get out of here." Mikey said stirring her from her thoughts.
"How?"
"Zoe are you alright? You don't look too good."
"I'm fine I'm just tired, I think I'm going to rest for a bit before they harrass us again."
"Fucking Bastards!"
"I have an idea!"
"Oh what's that?" Zoe asked sleepily.
Mikey began to talk in a low whisper, "when they come in to interrogate us again we run out they cant get us both."
"That will never work."
"What other choice do we have its not like the police will be able to find this place. We don't even know where we are. If I ever get out of this room I'm going to go see where they're keeping Danny. What will you do?"
"I'll follow you until we get out of this hellish prison then I'm going home. Do you really know anybody with our DNA alteration?"
"None that are our age, but I know at least one other with it. what about you?"
Zoe looked around the room "just my grandfather." she said in a low whisper.
"How exactly are we going to do this?"
"Don't worry Zoe I'll handle it."
The door to there room opened and a man and a woman came in "are you reasy to talk yet?" the man asked.
"Perhaps." Mikey said.
"Well start talking then boy."
"Gladly but not before I get a lawyer, and Danny back."
"Stop the wise cracks!" the woman said.
"I told you not until I get a lawyer you can beat me up as much as you want its not going to get me talking."
"Well maybe this will change your mind." The man said pointing his gun at the boy's face.
Mikey grabbed the mans wrist and threw him the way Bikky taught him. The woman then grabbed at Mikey around the neck "That wasn't very bright of you boy you know i have your son in our custody." she said squeezing his neck.
Zoe got her nerve back after see what Mikey did. "Leave him alone!" she punched the woman in the face hard, her grip on Mikey was let go. Mikey took a deep breath of air, "Come on lets get out of here."
"Not so fast!" the woman said pulling out her gun,
"You don't really want to get blood on your hands do you especailly that of children how would that look for you? Killing innocent children for what reason? Lame." Mikey said.
the woman lowered her gun for a moment to ponder what he just said. "Lets go Zoe."
"I can't let you leave you're both freak children who need to get there DNA back to everyone elses."
The woman pulled the trigger just as Mikey and Zoe closed the door. The bullet ricosheted from the large metal door and back to her. The two teens walked down corridors looking for where they kept Danny. They also kept a close eye out for any other people who worked this facility. Mikey looked from room to room until he finally found Danny.
Danny was curled up in a ball in a corner of the room. Mikey snuck inside and let Zoe keep a look out for any possible people. "Hey..Danny." Mikey said touching him.
"Mikey!"
"Come on lets go home."
Mikey picked the kid up and they left. "Mikey what do they want with Dee?" Danny asked as the three of them looked for an exit.
"I really am not sure, they want him beacause he's waiting for the stork."
"Why when they can just call the stork themselves?"
Mikey gave a laugh to Danny's imeptuous question. "Its difficult to explain Danny."
The three of them found an exit leading outside "Well where too now?" Zoe asked.
"I have no idea we're surronded by water if we don't think of something quick they'll catch us and then we'll all be in hot water."
Just then Mikey heard footsteps marching this way. "Shoot! Danny get on my back hurry. Zoe do you trust me?"
"I trust you more then I trust them." she said.
"That's as far as you go!" the man from before said.
Mikey grabbed Zoe's hand and they jumped down into the water.
**************
Mikey popped his head from under the water and looked around Danny still clug tight to him. "Are you alright Danny?" "Y....yes" he said between chattered teeth. "Zoe! where are you?"

"Mikey! Over here. Where do we go from here?"
Mikey swam over to Zoe, "I have no idea really but if we don't keep moving in the hope of finding some land of some sort or something. We'll all freeze to death."
****************
They swam for a long period of time. "Mikey I'm so tired can't go on much longer." Zoe said.
"Come on Zoe you can make it." Mikey said encouraging her. he had to admit he too was feeling exhausted. Mikey noticed something in the distance, "is that a mirage or is that really it?"
"Zoe look a ship!"
********************
"Uh captain there seems to be something in the water out there?" One of the crew men said.
"Like what?" the captain asked as he was leaving his state room.
"Like children."
"What! I want you and a few other men to release one of the lifeboats and go grab those kids make sure they're still alive and bring them on board."
"Yes sir!"
The captain then went back inside his stateroom and began to call a certain number.
