" Speaking"
"Thoughts"
Chapter 4Donald Lydecker was someone you wouldn't want to get angry. Standing at 6'2 with short blond/gray hair and intense blue eyes, he could be very scary when he wanted to be. But lucky today, he was in a surprisingly good mood. But there could only be one reason for his good mood.
It all started around three years ago, when he brought some of the old prototypes back to Manticore. They didn't know what was really happening, they thought they were going there to blow the place up; but it was a trap. 452, or Max as she called herself, was shot in the heart, but 599 (Zack) went back to help her. In the end he shot himself in the head to give 452 his heart. Unfortunately the other two got away, but they didn't matter all that much to the committees plans.
But something that mattered a lot was that Eyes Only was there. And he got away. Then the bastard had to go and broadcast that video, telling everyone in America not only were Manticore was, but what it was as well. The dick. Always going round sticking his nose were it didn't belong.
To say the committee was angry with that development, would be a HUGE understatement. They were beyond pissed. To cover up Manticore, they decided that it would be best to blow the place up, after they collected all the data they made over the years. The best thing was that all the data fitted on just one small disk. Some of the scientists come across some interesting information while looking into 452's DNA, but only some people had the clearance to see that information.
As in, the committee, the scientists' themselves and Renfro. Only one prototype was spared, that was only because he was the best of the best. 494, he was a Unit Leader, the top of everything and ever failed one of his missions. He was also one of those types of people you could trust with your lives, or so you think. He could get information out of anyone and they would know until it was to late. The committee then decided where they were going to set up a new lab. In the middle of nowhere, in the south of England.
A year later and the lab was all set up, now all they needed was some test subjects. They went around and took people of the streets at night, people with no home and who no would care about; but for some reason, they kept dying after the first stage, or if they did survive it they went insane, so they were killed. 494 went out in the day to scout out places. One day he was in a car park and with his hearing, he overheard a man talk about his weirdnephew and how he would love to get rid of him. Hearing this 494 called the committee and told them everything, they told him to follow him and so he did.
An hour later, the man drove into the driveway of number four Privet Drive in Surrey. To 494, the neighborhood looked boring and full of nosey people. Going around to the back of the house, 494 saw a small boy, who could look very stunning and beautiful if he was wearing proper clothes and eat something. Must be the unwanted nephew. He though to himself. Taking out a small camera he started to talk some pictures while the boy put some gardening tools away in the shed. The thing 494 was most drawn to was the boys bright green eyes. When the boy stopped and looked in his direction, 494 know it was time to go back the lab.
When 494 gave his report, the committee was decided to go visit one Vernon Dursley the next day and have a little talk about his nephew.
When they got there they found out that Vernon was more then happy to give his nephew away. They arranged to came and pick him up the next day because they needed to sort out the lab; the last experiment somehow started to rot on the inside out at an alarming rate. But when they came to collect their prize, they find out that some friends from his school came and took him away in the dead of night. They were then told that he wouldn't be back until next summer, so they had to wait until the end of July, but at least they could experiment with some of the boy's hair.
Yesterday was the day he was supposed to come back, so in the morning Lydecker went round to give the Durleys some drugs that would knock him out in minuets. He gave them enough to knock out a fully-grown elephant. 494 parked the black van in the driveway and followed Lydecker to the front door. They didn't need to knock because as soon as they where by the door, it was opened by a happy Petunia. The boy was laid down on the sofa, fast asleep looking like some sort of fallen angel with his hair caressing the arm of the sofa. 494 picked up the small boy and started to walk back the van.
"Mr. Dursley, one thousand American dollars have been transferred to your bank account." Lydecker said, trying not to look at the revolting mass of man Mr. Dursley was. Without wanting to hear what trash was going to come out of the whale's mouth, he turned around and headed back to the van. Wordlessly the van was started and they drove back to the lab.
Timeline:
Manticore was blown up in Harrys' 3rdyear at Hogwarts.
The lab in England was built in 4th year.
They picked up Harry after OTP, so the story is based in 6th year
Sorry that it took so long to get this chappie out, but it was hard to write and I've been really busy coz my exams are soon and I've had to learn the whole bloody 'Blood Brothers' script for my drama exam and I've had an ten hour art exam and a lot of the research had to been done at home.
Why is it that when exams' start, all teachers give ya homework at once? And go on and on and on and on about how important they are? and have most of them at the same time?
So sorry again. I hope ya like this chappie and I promise that they will start to get longer and after May, I will update more quickly .
Please review, they keep the creative juices flowing.
