"I have a mission for your team, Soldier. You're to find and retrieve Lydecker. You'll be working with X-5/734. She's in charge of the mission." Renfro continued talking and explaining about the mission and why Lydecker was wanted dead.
"Lydecker killed Sandoval," she said. I could hear the truth between her words. She was going to kill Lydecker, but he killed Sandoval first.
"Lydecker interfered with X-5/656's recovery from a 'genetic anomaly' and ended up killing her." Actually she had killed the X-5 before Lydecker had even been anywhere near the X-5.
"Is everything understood, Soldier?" Renfro asked after lying through her teeth. She seems to have forgotten everything I know Lydecker put in his reports about me.
"Yeah, there's a problem. You're a lying, murdering, scheming bitch." I'd love to say that, but Lydecker taught us that it's best to let the enemy fell secure. So, we'd humor her- for now. "Yes Ma'am. Understood." I saluted and left her office.
We all hate saluting and acting like soldiers. Renfro seems to think we are soldiers. We means me and my team. The five of us are the only surviving Y-3's. We aren't trained to be soldiers. We're trained to find people and to get info out of POW's easily and quickly. The geneticists that created us had this in mind. We can hear people's thoughts and we can talk to each other in our heads. Lydecker knows about those tricks, but he doesn't know how powerful we are and what we're truly capable of.
~ Shar you're troubled. What's wrong? ~
~ Renfro wants us to find Lydecker and kill him. She put X-5/656 in charge.~
~ I don't like this. Lydecker trained us. He cares about us, not just the five of us, but all his 'kids'. He trains the younger ones and expects them to respect him. With the older ones he expects resect but he also respects them, their abilities. ~
~ I agree. We can't kill Lydecker. What do you say Shar? ~
~ I agree with you. We can't kill him. I say ditch Renfro and Manticore and we find Lydecker and help him. We should also get the two captured X-5's and get them out of here before she re-indoctrinates them, or worse. ~
Agreement came from the other four in my team. I'm the youngest of us at 15 years, but I'm the best.
Ginina went to steal us a car. The twins, Jez and Mira, went to get the female X-5. Zoë and I got the male. All of us were in the car and miles away from Manticore before they even realized we had left. We made the security cams show that nothing was wrong, and we have a way of making people not see us.
"Where to Shar?" asked Ginina.
I though for a moment searching for the answer. Then I answered, "The west coast. Seattle."
The second chapter's on its way. Please R&R!!!
