"cali"Penelope said and ran over to hima nd helped him stand up. "are you ok" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, why are we here?" he asked as she helped him up. He hugged her happily that she was okay.

"they came to the lab last night and got me. they want what ive been working on"' she said.

"I guess I'm here to make sure you do it right, if you don't it's on me, I don't want to know what they mean by that." he said a little worriedly. "If it comes down to it though, I have learned Tai chi and Karate, highest level in both so I can get us out of here."

"lets hope it don't come to that" she said. "I guess its time i tell you what i am working on," she said and explained about the youth syrim.

"So they want you to make your youth syrim? OKay, how can I help you?" he asked her.

"i will show you how to make it. If we want out of here we have to do what they say" she said

"Yeah, lets get to work so we can get out of here in one piece." he said.

"ok come on" she said and showed him how to do it.

He watched and listened then help her make it.

When she made a bunch, she said they could take a break for a bit.

He nodded and sat down.

Rakuro walked in. "You are finished?" he asked. "with a few" she said. "Great" he said and picke done up. "Continue" he said taking the vile out as he locked it behind him.

Cali watched as the boss came in and left with a vile of the syrim. "That guy is a jerk." he said softly to Penelope.

"yeah but he is the one who decieds if we live" she said.

"Yeah infortuntely, I will behave until it isn't a matter of us living." he almost said you and not us. If he dies saving her he wouldn't care, he felt that he saved her he' be fine. He felt like he really liked her, tough he wouldn't tell her.

Lets just rest then get back to work k" she said.

"Agreed." he said. He didn't care how they got out at this point. Well he did care about getting out of here unkilled and in one piece.

After they were rested up, she got back to work.

He got back to work helping her make the syrim.

"i had hoped htis wouldn't fall into wrong hands" she said.

"That's why you even kept it from me." he said.

"i just didn't ant anyone to know until i was finished perfecting it" she siad.

"I thought it was because you didn't really trust me." he said relieved.

"of course i trust you" she said.
