A week passed.
Shirley had been a nurse for a short while, so it was easy for her to take care of others. Mick had always been a lazy slacker, so it was easy for him to let people take care of him.
Shirley decided to let Mick recover and not rush things. She thought the initial shock of being kidnapped and tortured had passed, he'd be back to normal, and he'd recover his memory.
And she was right. After the days passed he started feeling better and being himself again... but the lost memory didn't come back.

One day, Shirley found a cat scratching her apartment's door. It seemed hungry so she took it into the house to feed him.
As soon as Mick saw the cat he jumped.

"What?" Shirley asked "Are you allergic or something?"

Mick picked up the block he kept next to his bed and wrote "I know that cat!!!"

"Y-You do...?!" Shirley said, excited "You recognize him?! Is your memory coming back?!"

"No" Mick wrote "I saw him while I was in the Hospital. I saw him staring at me from outside the window several times. I'm sure it's the same cat."

"Oh..." Shirley said, dissapointed, after reading. They decided to keep the cat with them anyway.

Shirley thought that maybe Mick needed a little help to start remembering the last few months.

"Mick" she said to him, as she showed him a paper "Does this bring back any memories?"

Mick examined the picture in the paper. Several weird looking men were fighting another group of men dressed in black, like goverment agents. There were several helicopters in the sky. One of the weird looking men was floating in the air and the trees around him seemed to be alive.

Mick shaked his head.

"Are you sure?" Shirley said "Look at this man... doesn't he look familiar?"

She was pointing at the man floating in the air. Mick took a closer look at him.
He was wearing a large coat and a top hat. His face was barely visible because of the bright light that was coming from his eyes.

Mick shaked his head again.

Not recognizing his own picture was a bad sign, Shirley thought. She said to herself that she'd do anything to make him remember who he is.

Of course, she doesn't know that, if she succeeds, Mick's head will blow up because of the chip...

Meanwhile, every time Mick falls sleep he hears the same voice, asking him to "open the door"...
