DARK ANGEL
"Grab some gasoline on the way. We need some more to keep the back up generator running. Greg, look for some more scrap metal. John needs more to fix the gate. How are we doing outside?" Max asked as she ran down the latest inventory check.
"Aight I guess. Pretty sleepy out there. Notin's movin' very much." Theo said looking at the monitor. Theo was an unusual looking guy even though most transgenics looked a little odd. His nose and mouth protruded from his face. He had large ears and small hands and feet. Manticore had mixed him with mouse and he came out a little odd. He has a love for cheese and trinkets. "Wait a minute, Max. There's somethin' movin'at the corner of the west end gate."
Max grabbed her radio as she stared at the monitor. "Hey westy, you see anything over at your end?"
A voice came out of the little black radio. It was loud and scratchy. Mike probable was now on shift. "Nah Max, nothin. Why? Something showing up on the screen?"
"Yeah, keep your eyes out. Whatever it is, it seems to want in. Call back in if you see anything. Over." Max dropped the radio back into her pocket and stared at the screen. Whatever it is, it moves fast. Then suddenly as it had appeared, it disappeared from the screen. "This thing moves fast. I'm wondering if it is a transgenic. But if it is, then why would it be sne..."
She spun fast sensing something behind her. At first she couldn't believe her eyes, how could it be? I thought he was gone and safe. I thought he couldn't remember. Why is he back? Slowly she came out of shock and then fear crept in. "Zack?"
He looked at her with his crystal blue eyes. His eyes were mixed with sadness and anger. "Why did you lie to me? I knew that I knew you. It took me a while. Why did you tell me that you didn't know me? Why'd you leave me out there with those people?"
"Zack, it was for your own protection..." Max replied. Her heart ached, things would get violent again. He'd think he loved her and then he'd go after Logan who was no where to be found. Logan ran off with Asha two weeks back. He said it was too dangerous right now. Max knew the real reason.
"My protection?" He yelled angrily. His eyes burned with intensity. His voice got quiet and weak. "My protection? More like your lover boy's protection. I can't believe you, after all I've done for you. I died for you. I gave you your life and you lie to me to protect your precious little sweet pea."
"Zack, I didn't want to hurt you." Max replied trying to calm him down.
"Yeah, well you already have." he growled bringing out a knife...
