Eva was standing still in front of a door hesitant to knock on the door. She was standing there went someone from the inside said, "Come in my child." She entered a cottage and met a woman cooking on a stove. "Welcome home my child."
"I'm back Mas... I mean mother."
"How was your exploration?"
"It was fun I met some friends and saw a huge city."
"That was nice. Did you find what you are looking for?"
Eva shook her head in disappointment "Not yet, mother. But it feel like someday I'll find it."
"I'm glad to hear that. Why don't you sit down and have some lunch." She smile at her. She served her a bowl of freshly cook meal and sat down. "I want to hear what happen."
Eva told her everything about her journey with her friends until the night came. "You better get to bed mother."
"You're right, I was having fun listening your story that I forgot the time. I'll prepare your bed as well." She stood up and went to her room.
Eva stood up and got close to a table beside a bookshelf. She picked up a picture frame place on top of the table. "Who am I?" She looked at the picture of her mother and herself when she was just a child. "Am I really this child or did you made me to look like your child, after all it's impossible for android to grow old. And yet I remember well that day when you hold me like in the picture. Did you implant her memories to me? I can't ask you that question when your memories are fading as time passes by."
"Eva your bed is ready."
She put down the picture frame back and looked at her. "You can go ahead and go to bed mother, there is still something I need to do first."
"All right. My sweet Eva. Just don't stay up to late." She went back to bed
"Yes, mother." She move a book from the shelf triggering a switch which open a hidden entrance from behind the shelf. Eva walk in and turn on a switch to lighten the room. "What happen here?" Eva was shocked at what she saw. "Where are all the documents and research data? The room is empty." She hurried left the hidden room and asked her mother. "Mother, mother!" She tried waking her up.
"What wrong, Eva? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Did someone came here before I return?"
"Yes, there was. It was your sister."
"I have a sister!?" Eva was surprised at the news. "How come I don't know anything about her?"
"That silly you know her when you were little. You might not remember her since you only play with her only a few times. After that she left with your uncle."
"Where is she now?"
"Hmmmmm, let me see. I think she left a message for you, I can't seem to remember where it is? I might remember the next morning so let go to sleep, you been through a lot."
"All right mother, you go back to sleep. I'll sleep later after I calm down."
"Goodnight, Eva." She laid back down on the bed and went back to sleep.
Eva left the room and return back to the hidden room. "There got to be some clue." She checked the security camera. She touched a lose wall to revealed a monitor behind. She played back all the event in the past week. "Here she is! It's 5 days ago." She played the video over and over until she realized something. "There!" She pointed at the monitor. "She is wearing something familiar." She zoomed in on the uniform her unknowingly sister was wearing. "That logo! It looked familiar but a bit different. It's the logo of the C.L.E.O. Incorporated. That the largest technology company in the whole world. The closest place that is related with it is the town of Plasden. " She return back to room and looked at her mother one more time. "Sorry for this I know I just came back but I need to leave right now." She wrote a note on the door and left the cottage and headed for Plasden.
