you There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They look like us and they act like us. But they are not us. So I was created in a lab. I'm a freak science experiment. Holiday, you can't think that way. But that's basically what you said. James, start the van back up. I think we're safe to drive.

The base isn't far. You kids all buckled up? Cyrus? Birdie? I'm good, Dad. Me too. Great, I'll keep driving through the woods for as long as I can. It's our best shot at staying hidden. Another bumpy ride. Bladder, don't feel me now. Hold on. I never agreed to go back to the base. Honey, we're taking you to the safest place we can think of. We can't risk going home while they're following us. You have to understand why Holiday would be suspicious.

Mom, this is sounding like Super X-Files or X-Men or X-something. You're not too far off, Cyrus. What was this place, this laboratory where I was made? You've heard of the Whittier Corporation. I was recruited to work there out of med school. Whittier? You never told us you worked there.

The corporation is known for using cutting-edge science to make great strides in medicine. Strengthening immune systems, growing back limbs for amputees, finding cures for some of the world's deadliest diseases. I was proud to be a part of their research until... They went too far. We're out of the woods. What's too far? Before we get to the gate at the base, I need you kids to hide under those blankets.

Why do we have to hide? We've been on the base lots of times. Just do as I say, Birdie. Trust us. Trust us. That's all I ever hear. I don't know who to trust. You can trust the hoverboard. Holiday, look. It's perfectly calm. It wants you to stay with us. Please hide, Holiday. Alright.

Evening, Mr. Anders. Oh, hello, Dr. Anders. Didn't see you in there. Hi, Carl. We were driving back from dinner and James wanted to get my take on the new furniture in his office. At this time of night? Yeah, we're both so busy. You know how it is. Okay to go in? Let me just run the clearance through the system. Hang on. Why do we have to hide? That's not sure who to trust right now. It's not that. It's hot under here. Shh.

I'm sorry about this, Mr. Anders, but for some reason your clearance isn't going through. How could that be? Not sure. Let me go inside to check with my CO. Sorry, but I'm going to have to leave you outside the gate for now. Carl, is this really necessary? Carl? I think we need to get out of here

James, what if they're holding us at the gate for a reason? We can't just leave now. It'll make us look suspicious and it's not safe to go home. But what if someone here at the base is working with Whittier? I have to get to my office so I can find out what Whittier knows. But I don't want anyone seeing the kids back there. Hals.

Dad borrowed this van from the base. It has a keypad in the dash that signals the gate. You think you can hack it like you did in Mom's office? Ooh, good idea. Stay down back there, guys. I can try. Holiday, stay in the back. What are you doing? Getting us into the base. Slide over. Why? Now it's your turn to trust me. Holiday, Carl could be back at any moment. Shh. Be quiet for a second.

I need to figure this code out. Got it. What? Open Sesame Gate. How did you do that? Another excellent question for the good folks at Whittier. Now drive! Here's where we're going to sleep tonight, kids. Get out of the van and go inside as quietly as you can. Shh. Hurry inside. Come on. Staying for the night? What's gonna happen when they realize we hacked the gate? I'll handle that. Cyrus, take your sister to a bunk in that room over there. Got it. Don't do anything exciting without me.

Feel free to carry me, Cyrus. Yeah, no. I've got to get to my office on the other side of the base. Neither of you is going anywhere until you explain what happened in that lab. Mom, what did you mean that you went... too far you might as well tell her monica when i first started working with them they were experimenting on animals at some point they decided chimps weren't good enough

They wanted to create human life for the sole purpose of experimenting on it. You mean they made kids just to do tests on them? Like lab rats? It's why I had to leave. So, did you create me? No, but I was there when the first batch of babies were born. How do you know they weren't just regular babies getting tested?

They all have the same distinctive birthmark on the back of their hands. I have a scar on my hand. Did I have that birthmark? You did. We recognized it as soon as we found you. We quickly had it removed. to protect you holiday you have to know even though i left that job i've never forgotten or abandoned those children i've been looking for them ever since i left the secret room in your office

With all those photos of those kids. Is that what I am to you? Just another escaped lab rat? No, I... What's going on here? Admiral Grayling, sir. Anders, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? And why do you have your wife and your little girl with you? I'm not his little girl. My name is Mike Crane, and I play James in six minutes. For more great adventures, head over to GZMShows.com. Shh. It's starting. GZM Shows. Imagination.
