The following day she woke up early, she put on the clothes she stole from the laundromat. She stopped by a bakery just as they were throwing out the old stuff. She grabbed as much as she could carry plus stuffed some into a bag that was in her backpack and ate on the way to school. She bit into a loaf of bread she never had before. She really liked it, she made note to find out what kind it was. On the way to school she passed by a crime scene. She recognized the apartment building as the one where Old Lady Cole lived. She always had work for Tess to do to earn a few bucks. She moved closer to see if she could find out who died. A patrolman stopped her. She attempted to get information but he wasn't forthcoming at all.

She arrived at school early. The first time since her parents death. She wanted to find the kids from the nurse's office yesterday. One of them went somewhere they shouldn't have and came out infected with probably a billion dollar retrovirus or something to turn soldiers into super soldiers. Whoever was responsible for this would definitely want to keep this quiet. She didn't recognize any of the kids from her classes but she didn't know even half of the kids in any of her classes. The first one she saw was on the football team, she didn't what remember positioned he played something back. She approached him like a predator stalking prey. "Yo football dork!" She got right on top of him. She spoke low and with malice. "What kind of freak did you turn me into?"
