Chapter Text
The officer presses the record button before turning to the woman sat across from him.
“Where do you want me to start?” she asks. There is a reserved calm to her as she sits there, not betraying the large amount of trouble that she is in.
“How about your name?” the officer suggests. “And then we can go from there.”
“I am Professor Kathryn Martin, one of the leading investigative scientists on Project Geminos. I was with the project for almost twenty years. Initially I was in charge of observation and notation of the twins in our care.”
“How many were there?”
“To begin with we had six. Three sets of twins.”
The officer reads off a series of six names. Two girls, four boys. “Are these the children in question?”
“Yes.”
“And they were the first, you say more came in later?”
“Two more.” Katie can’t help the smile as she thinks of them. “The Jims.”
The officer leafs through the pack in front of him, looking, trying to find the name written down anywhere but there’s no sign of it. He shakes his head. “I don’t see their name here”
“You won’t.” She bows her head and smirks. “They’re safe.”
The officer raises an eyebrow at her. “You seem fairly confident.”
“I’m certain.”
“Why’s that?”
“It’s a long story.”
The officer folds his case folder closed. “I’ve got time.”
