understood and accepted his
position. There was no challenge or argument from them, no resistance at all.
    Three parts of a jigsaw puzzle that didn’t quite fit.
Like they belonged somewhere else, pieces of another puzzle. I’d been troubled by this for three years now.
But when you know that your twin is dead, when you’ve learned to
accept that, because all the evidence confirms it, there’s not much that
you can do about it.
    Unresolved issues never go away.
As humans, we need closure, we can’t just forget things.
Life would be much easier if we could. Just delete a section of our memory that is no longer required or
wanted.
So although I couldn’t do anything about them, these memories
troubled me.
    But in the events that followed in the Secret Bunker, I was going to get
all the answers I needed.

Chapter Two
Revival
I don’t recall anything between the weapon going off and waking up in
a medical area. I’m not even sure how long I was out - asleep, knocked out,
unconscious or whatever it was - but it must have at least been
overnight because I felt pretty well rested after the the gruelling
events that I’d experienced alone in that corridor. It didn’t hurt, that’s for sure.
Whatever those weapons were, they weren’t there to hurt me.
I’m not even sure if they were weapons now - seeing that I’m here,
healthy and unhurt.
    My mind is feeling a little fuzzy, no worse than having to wake up on
any other day mind you, but it quickly accelerates from 0 to 100 miles
per hour. So many questions …
What’s going on here?
What happened to the bunker?
Who were those people who came out to get me in the corridor?
Why were they wearing virus suits? But most important of all, where is my family?
The room is well lit and extremely modern.

It’s more hi-tech than anything I’ve seen before. This is clearly a room for medical purposes, but it doesn’t look or feel
anything like a hospital. There are data screens everywhere, like computers, yet like nothing
I’ve ever seen in a regular hospital.
    There is no sinister, metal, torture-like medical equipment set out on
trays and I can’t see any containers or medicines. And there are no syringes anywhere, which is always a good thing.
Everything in this room seems to happen electronically.
I am alone, but I see that I am being monitored on a camera which is
pointing directly at me.
    I am comfortable, warm and not in any immediate danger, so in spite
of all my questions, I can only assume that whatever is going on is not
a threat to me. I also hope that it means Dad, Harriet and David must be on the
receiving end of the same treatment. I’m desperate to see them, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to
happen at the moment.
    And what about Mum? If these guys came out into the corridor in virus protection clothing,
what on earth is going on beyond the bunker doors? And what does that mean for Mum who’s currently trapped outside?
Waiting
    At the time I’d assumed that there were no other children in the
bunker because we were here during term time. But that only excluded families with school age children, what about
those with toddlers? It’s very unusual not to see any other children.
But that wasn’t the only thing.
    There didn’t seem to be any couples in the bunker. There were men and women of different ages, but none of them
seemed to be together. It was like it was an open day for childless and friendless people.
There were plenty of people visiting the bunker, I’d even go as far to
say that it was quite busy.
    But none of them seemed connected - and here’s the other thing that
struck me. Most of them weren’t engaged in the exhibits in the same way that we
were. It was almost as if they were just hanging around waiting for
something to happen.
Control Room
    The terminal is active now, and all is as it was during the training. The location is different of course, much more modern than that grey
and functional
