His gaze had collided with Ian's countless times, and there was this hunch in his gut, a feeling that Ian might just be the one he'd been waiting for.
Sarah lifted her hand and tousled his hair affectionately.
"Maybe he is."
"You don't have faith in him, Doctor?"
"I have faith in everyone, but I'm always let down in the end."
A shadow passed over Subject 8's face, his hand absentmindedly fidgeting with the jade beads around his neck.
Sarah lifted her hand again and continued tousling his hair.
"But the disappointment won't last forever. We'll get out of here, and you'll see your family again."
Hope flickered in Subject 8's eyes, and a genuine smile curved on his lips.
"Yeah, to see my family."
He couldn't remember what his family looked like. The more he tried to recall, the more muddled his memories became.
But he knew that once, someone had held his hand tightly and never let go. He knew the story behind the bead he wore. He had to leave this place, to see his family again.
His memory had been wiped once already, and the recollection of his arrival at this base had long since faded. The only world he could remember was the one within these walls.
Sarah reached out and pinched his ear gently.
"If we don't head back now, they're going to find that hatch."
"I'll be caught whether I go back now or not. Doctor, please, take me back."
The weapon was created by Sarah; countless experiments had been inflicted upon each subject. Sarah always felt like she was forgetting something important, searching for someone - perhaps a person she was desperately trying to protect.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
