“Doctor, it seems you dropped your notebook on your fall,” the janitor said as she shoved an old book into Makoto’s chest. “Wha-? I don’t keep journals! I’m too old for tha” Makoto didn’t even finish before the janitor walked away, leaving it in Makoto’s hands. After flipping through, it was clear that it was in fact a journal, like the janitor had said. Curiosity took over and Makoto went to the first page. After reading the name, he gasped and dropped the book. It can’t be, He thought. There’s no way this is possible. In the research quarter? How have I never found this before?! He picked up the book again, making sure his eyes weren’t fooling him. Attached, there was a picture of a man who looked exactly like Quinn! The name signed …show more content…

I convinced those who could help to act as if I committed suicide, and soon James Davis was forgotten about…. But someone told them. I’ve been on the run for 400 days, after I saw on the news that there was an arrest warrant for Craig Owens, better known as James Davis. I don’t know how they figured it out, but what I do know is that my time is up. I have nowhere else to go, so I’m leaving this in the hands of Charles Whitney, my closest confident. He’ll hide this journal in the place they would least expect before he’ll be found and arrested: The research quarter of the very lab him and I met. If this is it, then I truly hope you will tell the public someday. Signed, James Davis.” Well, the history archives certainly didn’t teach Makoto any of …show more content…

I need you to read those papers as fast as you can. Whatever you’re doing now, stop it. This is more important that any document you’ve ever read!” He whispered aggressively. Quinn stepped back, her face looking incredibly concerned. “Makoto? You’re scaring me… Should I be scared? What’s going on?” Her voice trailed off as he stared at her. “Just read it with me. I know everything there is to know about history, and right now, I know that they lied to us. The Government lied to us, Quinn.” ★ ★ ★ During the ten minutes it took for Quinn to read the final pages, Makoto paced the room nervously. A few tears left Quinn’s big, brown eyes and splattered as she read. “So that’s why my father never let me have close friends when I was young. He probably knew that it was James’ friends who gave away his identity long ago… And James was killed by the Government. I just know it.” Determination filled her eyes, although she felt like her life had been turned upside down. For once, Makoto took the lead. “Quinn, we need people to know what happened. It’s up to us to tell them the truth. Everyone else has been silenced, but you… You can’t be! You’re Quinn Davis, the smartest scientist in the 26th century!
