TruckCatherine, her face soaked in tears, her hair falling into her face and sticking to its wet surface, slowly looked up at Andrew.  Her voice was soft.  Her eyes were empty.  "Yes, I am all right.  For now."  That was all she said.  The two guards went on with their business and paid little attention to Andrew or Catherine.  After what seemed like forever Andrew felt the truck slow down.  His stomach turned inside out as he realized they had arrived at the detention center.  When the truck stopped and the doors opened the compartment was flooded with light.  Andrew and Catherine had to both close their eyes as they were momentarily blinded.  They were escorted out of the truck and then Andrew felt something being closed around his neck.  He looked up to see a metal collar being fastened around Catherine's neck.  Detention CenterGabe and Eleyna were both up on medical beds in their rooms.  There were 5 to 7 people hooking up monitors and adjusting equipment.  They were each strapped down to the bed.  They were resistant, of course, but it was explained that a few of the tests were for muscle response and they did not want anyone to get hurt.  So finally through a lot of coaxing, both Gabe and Eleyna had straps across their hands, feet and chests.The door opened to Gabe's room and three guards brought in a boy.  They held him as if he were dangerous but he never fought them at all.  Another medical bed was brought in and when they lifted the boy up onto it Gabe saw that it was Andrew Ward!  Andrew was strapped to a bed similar to Gabe's and then hooked up to the same equipment he was on.Eleyna shivered in the cold room and was startled when the door opened and another bed was wheeled in.  She was even more startled to see Catherine Kent sitting on the bed in a hospital gown.  Catherine was strapped to the bed and the staff quickly began to hook her up to the equipment Eleyna was on.  As she looked over at her, Eleyna could see Catherine had been crying a lot.</blockquote>
