April 23rd 2550 _ Mother of Invention-Cargo Hold _ 1400 hrs Earth Time
The Cargo Hold was always a dark and grotesque place to be. So for what ever reason York and Connie were down there even they didn't know. They were just there.
"Alright so what are we here for again?" York asked.
"Why are you asking me? I don't f**king know, I was following you." Connie replied.
"Okay, how could be following me if I'm standing behind you? Answer that for me." They came to a halt where they stood when they felt a disturbance. "Hey do you feel that?"
"Yeah I do." They felt a strange, almost electrical sensation coming from a nearby container. They could feel some Electrical Pulse emitting from the glowing container.
"Oh man I feel weird."
The closer they walked to the container the deeper and stronger the wave passed through. Soon enough they were forced to tear off there helmets and cover their ears from a high pitched sound emitting from the container. The container sent a powerful sonic wave exploding the container wide open and throwing York and Connie into the air. They crashed into some nearby crates with a loud crash.
"F**king Sh*t!"
"Come on lets see what the hell that was."
They drew their Magnums and slowly took carful steps towards the now destroyed container. York made a gesture with his hand signaling Connie to flank from the left side and he would take the right. They took their post and took aim.
"Alright, we may not be cops but we're armed. Now come on out with your hand up."
They heard a coughing from the inside, and a person speak up. A girl, to there surprise in full armor. CGB Armor.
"cough cough-Jezz. Simmons is not going to be happy about this."
"Hey do you mind telling us who you are?" Connie asked.
"Huh, oh uh hi, um this is kinda awkward." The stranger said. From the way she talked, they could tell she was fairly young.
"Yeah for us too." York said. "Come on kid, your coming with us."
"What! I didn't even do anything." The girls tore off her helmet in frustration. York and Connie just stared in shock, the girl standing before them had green eyes. Like a certain Freelancer they knew. "Okay sure maybe I snuck abroad this UNSC cruiser so sue me."
"Yeah kid well your still coming with us." Connie said. "Get your ass moving."
"Okay fine I'm going."
Mother of Invention-Prison Hold _ 1430 hrs Earth Time
Connie and York just stared in surprise at the young girl in the interrogation room.
"Do you think theres a possibility that she's related to Carolina?" York asked.
"I mean she has the green eyes." Connie responded. "Maybe, but I don't know."
"No. She never said anything about having a sister. She can't be."
"Hey, are you two just gonna stand there or are we gonna talk this out." The girl yelled out.
After much consideration the two agents walked into the room. The girl was handcuffed to the table and Connie and York were standing at the door.
"First question whats your name kid?"
"Aileen Wuornos." The girl answered.
"Aileen. Okay Al, second question, what the hell are you doing here?"
The girl looked away for a moment, trying to remember. She reached to grab her head but was caught by the handcuffs. "Damn. I honestly can't remember."
Connie and York shared a look and went back to the girl.
"Okay kid next question, do you know an Agent Carolina?" York asked. Connie hit him on the shoulder
"Really York? Who the hell knows anyone actually named, Agent Carolina?"
"Just wondering."
The girls eyes widened at the name. She went for her wrist trying to grab something but nothing was there. She slammed her fist on the table.
"Damn It! Did any of you see my CommPad?"
"Your what? No we didn't..."
"You said Agent Carolina is here! Is Agent Washington here too?"
"Yeah she is. They both are."
"I need to speak to them both. I need to show them something its an emergency. Its really important I get my CommPad!"
"Look kid, right now your trespassing, we could haul your ass if need be."
"Oh forget this."
The girl broke the cuffs off, pressed a few buttons on her TacPad and she disappeared. She had a Camouflage unit and then broke out of the Interrogation Room.
"Well f**k."
York activated his Comms and walked followed Connie outside. "Hey uh Carolina?"

"Why the hell did you bring me along again?" Washington asked.
"Because York said there was some sort of Escapee onboard and we need to check it out." She responded.
"Yeah you told me that part, but why the hell am I here?"
"Because... its scary down here."
"What?"
"Shut up."
They heard shuffling and some sort of commotion from the destroyed container. Both Carolina and Washington drew their Magnums. They grew closer to the container and the struggling grew louder. They could hear the girl's voice from inside.
"Damn it, damn it where is it where it!"
Carolina signaled Washington to get on high ground and he did so. Carolina walked over to the blown off doors of the container and took aim.
"Finally I found it!"
"Step out and put your hands up!"
"Son of a bitch."
"Come on out slowly kid. Who are you."
"Oh me, I'm Kristen Gilbert okay."
"Okay Kristen now come on out and or I will shoot you. And I don't really want to do that."
"Okay okay calm down." The girl turned around and stood in shock at the woman in front of her. With the red hair and the same green eyes as hers. "Oh my God, its really you." She took off her helmet. Now Carolina was shocked.
"What the hell are you..."
The girl ran at her and wrapped her arms around her in a tight hug. "Mom! I'm so happy to see you!"
Carolina just stood there, arms up as the girl held onto her. After a second longer it was more awkward for Carolina. "Um, what did you just call me?"
The backed away. "Mom. Your my mother."
"Okay kid slow down. I'm kinda having..."
There was a sudden crash and a yelp as Washington came crashing down. "I'm okay I'm good." he managed to say when he finally stood up. "Okay put your hands and, well you know the rest."
They both stared in shock, then they heard sniffling. The girl started sobbing at his presence. "Good job Wash, you made her cry."
"What, I'm sorry I didn't mean to..."
The girl cried and ran at Washington, wrapping her arms around him. "Daddy!" She buried her chest in his chest and cried. Washington gently patted her trying to calm her down. "Daddy."
Washington whispered to Carolina pleading for an answer. "what the hell is happening?"
Carolina whispered back. "i don't know."
