was not supposed to see any of that. Maybe this database was different from all of the others. Of course it was, I realized now. It could analyze data and come to conclusions by itself. Back then, I just thought it was cool, but maybe to other people it was far more than that. Mampas. Where was that planet anyhow? Shivers ran down my spine when I looked at Daio's swollen face. I wondered if maybe it was only me they were really after.
    That didn’t make sense either though. Not only because I didn't like the conclusion, but also because it had been so long since my visit to Shor. I pondered these thoughts for few minutes. Could my evasions in the network be so good that it took them this long to find me? My pulse started to quicken. Other things I remembered seeing in Shor started to seep into my mind. I wondered what were they planning to do with this knowledge and what else Shor could do. Suddenly my face grew hot, as if the armed man had hit my face instead of Daio's. My pulse raced even faster. I wondered how I hadn’t thought of it before.
    The truck entered an underground parking space and we were shoved out and led through a large steel door. We walked down long corridors until I lost all sense of orientation. We walked towards another steel door. There was a click when we got close. The door slid to the side and stopped with a vibrating echo. We passed through the door and continued walking. The scene repeated itself several times until we noticed that the corridor itself was made of steel. Our steps began to echo as well. Steel doors were now all along the corridor. Except for a small slot at the bottom of each door they were completely sealed. A strong smell of trash was in the air when we passed one of the doors. It didn't completely disappear when we were ordered to stop. The steel door to our left slid sideway and stopped with a bang. They removed the handcuffs and pushed us into the cell. The door slid back with another bang that continued to echo in my head long after the noise had stopped.
      A window with bars opened on the opposite wall. Fresh air began to fill the cell, gradually pushing out the bad odor. A bit to the left of the window were two beds, one above the other, hanging out from the wall. A ladder was on the opposite wall close to the edge of the beds so that prisoners could climb to the upper bed. A similar double bed arrangement was on the wall to the left.
    To the right of the entrance door was a toilet that was blocked by a low plastic wall, a small sink beside it. Dug walked to the sink and opened the tap. A hollow noise sounded until murky water started to flow out into the basin.
    “Wonderful,” I heard him say.
    The small table and two chairs at the center of the cell were all bolted to the ground.
      Daio sat down on the bed to the left, then swung his legs up and stretched out with a muffled sigh.
    “So Rafel sold us after all,” said Dug.
    Daio pursed his lips.
    “That bastard has made so much money from us,” continued Dug.
    “I guess he didn't make enough,” said Daio. His words sounded odd now because of his swollen face. He gingerly touched his nose. “I wonder who paid him?”
    “How is your nose?” I asked.
    “It's fine,” he replied.
    “We must find a way out,” I quickly said.
    Daio removed his hand from his face and gazed at me.
    “Relax, you will be okay,” he said and gazed back at the bottom of the upper bed.
    Dug closed the faucet when the water looked clear and walked to the small table.
    “You are young, maybe they will let you go,” he said. “If they do, tell them you have an uncle that loves you who will be happy to adopt you.”
    “I don't have any uncles and I don't need anyone to adopt me,” I said angrily.  I looked back at Daio. “We must find a way out,” I repeated myself as if it was a magic sentence. 
    He looked at me again and sighed. Unwillingly he sat up on the bed. 
    “Is there something you are not telling me?”
    I gazed at
