## Before the Books

### Life with the Clarks

The Clarks put everyone, including Sara, in overcrowded rooms and put food 'family style' in the center of the table to make it look like there was a lot more than there actually was. A month before the events of the first chapter, a new kid, named Gabriel, arrived. He liked Sara because they were the only Hispanic kids there. They talked in Spanish a lot, until the Clarks told them they were only allowed to speak English. She was punished for telling them that they weren't using proper grammar. The Clarks punished Gabriel for something else, and they locked him in a closet. Sara let him out, and they locked her in the closet with him. When she picked the lock, they locked them out on the cold roof all night. After that, Sara got mad and hacked the juvenile justice database to bring their cruelty to light.

#### Meeting Mother

Originally, Sara's lawyer was a man named Randall Stubbs. While she talked to her lawyer, Mother interrupted. He told Stubbs to make sure he was Sara's lawyer, and Stubbs then left. Mother then told Sara that he needed her to hack into the database again and put him as Sara's lawyer. He then revealed he would be using a fake name, and they chose Gerald Anderson. She then told him about the Clarks and how horrible they treated their foster kids. When they went to court, Mother convinced Judge Pancake to let him bring Sara to Crunchem Hall. He said that he would keep her there until she was eighteen, which got her out of the courts way. Then, Sara learned that Crunchem Hall did not exist, and was in fact, a school from *Matilda.* She then learned that her friend Emily was actually Sydney. They went to the Clark's house where after Mother distracted them, she locked them on the roof in revenge,

#### First Alpha test

Mother decided to do an Alpha Test on Sara. As the Alpha of the mission, Brooklyn had to plan the mission and think of the nugget, or the bait. For this, she chose the thought of money to influence her foster parents to go to the roof. She did this so she could retrieve a box of stuff she collected.

The first part of the plan was having Mother impersonate an FBI agent. Using a southern drawl, he planted the nugget and persuaded them to go to the roof, issuing a fake 'finders fee.' While they were searching for the roof, Brooklyn and Sydney broke into their house and went to Brooklyn's bedroom where Brooklyn noted that the Clarks already moved her stuff out.

While they were leaving, Brooklyn locked the Clarks on the roof as payback for when they locked her and Gabriel out there. Later, when questioned about it, she stated that as the Alpha on the mission, once it was in motion, she could change it in any way. This was proof of her skills, and the awesome spy she would become later in the series.
