Chapter 9
"I demand to see my Daddy!" Eve is trying to get past the security-guard type oafs who were not going to let her through in a hurry. I would have sighed again, but now, so I could see what was going on, I have adopted the 'smiling-pretty-perfect-Barbie' pose, rigid and grinning in Eve's small hand. The idiots guarding the lab don't even notice I have green skin! "You can't go in, little girl." proclaims one of them gruffly. "Fine." Eve replies, both defiantly, and sadly. She walks off, head drooped, wiping her eyes and sniffling, pretending to be crying. She turns round to see if this has had any effect. I hasn't. She storms up to them. She stomps her right foot and glares at then. "Fine." she says, angry this time. "If you don't let me in I'll scream!" They look slightly worried at this, but shrug it off, laughing. True to her word, Eve opens her small, pink mouth, and screams. A sound like-like, like a dying seagull fighting a baby pig bursts out of Eve's mouth. I cover my ears, but the guards just stand there, dumbfounded. When she stops, they look like they've just realised that it was Eve making that noise, and that it probably will hurt their ears. They clutch them in agony, and I slowly crawl my way out of Eve's hand onto the floor. "If anyone comes, or those two decide their ears don't hurt so much any more, then you distract them." she nods obediently, and I glance and the slightly open door into the lab. "I'm going in."
