Chapter 22

I stood up and walked back to the same coffee station as a few days ago, and sure enough, Nathan was waiting. "Well hello Ms. Croft. How was your, uh, memory?" He asked. "Odd." "Mines too." He answered. After some silence I just said, "Listen, Nathan, why do you think there going for this much information for a movie?" "I was actually wondering that too. Some of this stuff seems personal. I wonder what their honestly trying." We talked for a while longer. Then, oddly, Melanie Lemay, called both of us. "So how are you two?". "Fine. And you?" Me and Nathan asked her. "I'm doing well, but, you two seemed worried. Is there something you wondered or had a question about?" "Actually..." Nathan said, "We both did. Why is it that you're going so deep into these memories? This stuff happened so long ago. I mean, I understand this whole "All details are true" thing, but why that close to a T?" Melanie processed this question. "Well. We might overlook very important details. We may have missed the fact that Mary Read didn't die in 1721, but lived passed that. Or that they had children who were important historical figures." "But this much detail. These, these fights. These problems." I said. "Every family has problems, Ms. Croft." "Yeah, but should kids sit in a theatre and watch people drinking away there problems? Then, going and violently throwing things, or accidentally harming themselves? Or getting into fights so bad, that these characters, these, people that actually existed, turn on each other? That's pretty fucked up." Nathan said. "Well won't include that." "Well then why even have us look into it in the first place? After you saw more of these characters living, why didn't you stop? The world could be fine without realizing these people were very fucked up." I said. "Well. You signed for this." "Not this." I said in a disgusted tone. "Listen, you two will go back, get these memories, and then, your done. Now, go back." Me and Nathan walked out, and slammed the door. He said in a hushed voice, "Listen, you need to meet me later on. Only do one session on the animus, then, meet me in the restrroms. We need to learn what's going on here." I nodded my head and walked away.
