Crap. Liam had missed them - these were the wrong people entirely! As the guards returned from the arena, he noticed some of them heading towards him. This couldn't be good. Still, he decided to put on a brave face. "Hello, gentlemen," he said casually. "Did you enjoy yourself with Subject One?" This seemed to put them in a worse mood. Ohh, no, the 17-year-old subject thought. They'd only be this mad if Jasmine... had won?!
"Subject Two, you are to be taken to a nearby military base," a guard at the front told him. "Don't try to resist. You aren't as special as you think you are." Uh-oh. This guy wasn't taking any crap from Liam today. The small group of guards readied their tranquilizer guns. Just as Liam's tongue was about to reach four and a half feet so he could fight off the guards, down he went, with a tranquilizer dart in his side. As the team lifted Liam's unconscious body and carried him towards a nearby helicopter, younger subjects stared in wonder at the young man with the long tongue.

Some guards boarded the helicopter that Jasmine and Kyoya were on, bringing five subjects: younger ones that had no idea how they were here, older and wiser ones that had their fists balled up in their pant pockets, still others that stared down at the floor and nothing else. Then came the pairs. There were only two pairs of guards, but each pair was lifting an unconscious older subject on a stretcher. Last but not least, a group of three guards entered, two of them lifting the subject himself and one of them carrying a massive tongue. In total, there were ten subjects on board this helicopter. The guards busied themselves with taking the subjects to their proper places. Left in the same area as an annoyed Kyoya and a frustrated Jasmine were a confused and scared-looking 13-year-old, who was probably new to the facility, and the unconscious one with the long tongue.
"I'm Amy," the 13-year-old chattered. "Earlier, the testers tried shooting at me, but it didn't do much. They say I'm projectile-proof," she said wistfully. "I think they used NERF guns." Oh, boy. Amy was a talkative one. "Who are you people? Why does the military want me?"
The subject with the tongue - which was none other than Liam Lee - was still out cold, and contributed nothing to the unwanted conversation.
(I will post a CS for Amy later.)
