Episode Eleven, Alien Visitor Or Human Chess Piece?

Tex was laying sleepless in here bed with racing thoughts all the way from, the kid, to her and Church's fight they had after she had recovered. She laid on her right side facing the wall about three feet away with her Green eyes glaring with frustration. She turned over on her left side noticing a picture of her and Church peaceful and happy which made her even more angry. She sat up picking up the picture looking at it then frowning and tossing into the wall causing the glass to brake and fly under her bed and under her nightstand. Part of the reason she threw it to that side of the wall was because Church was on the other side. Then she laid down even more frustrated and angry at him with her head in her arms while laying on her stomach. Suddenly a loud bang on the other side of the wall startled her.

"STOP THROWING STUFF YOU BITCH!!" Church yelled. She gave no response, but a loud sigh then laid her head back in her arms. She was worried about what was going to happen to the girl all alone in a canyon with no food or water and no protection from the Reds or a way to defend her self. Tex figured it was her mother instinct she doubted she had or a gut feeling, but something was telling her to go looking around in the caves while she had the chance. With a quick second she got up and started getting dressed to go look, minus Church's highly strict orders to stay away from her. She didn't really care to listen to Church ever and she figured now was a great time not to. After a quick think over she latched on her helmet and slowly and silently opened her door to a dark hallway. She quickly scanned the area not seeing anyone from her view and opened her door and exiting then turning around to quietly close her door. She turned on her heel only to find Church standing behind her.

"Where are you going Allison?"

"Get out of my way before I move you."

"You didn't answer my question."

"I don't have to tell you."

"Your were going to look for the girl, weren't you?"

"Yes. I can't sleep knowing she's out in this dark dangerous canyon."

"Dangerous? Tex no one, but me is going to hurt her. The Reds wouldn't because of Donut and Doc wouldn't let O'Malley touch her."

"Church."

"Tex your not going anywhere." As he spoke they both could feeling the air feeling tense and both of their patients growing thin. Then Tex looked up at him with her helmet on.

"Get the fuck away from me or I'll be force to do something I don't want to do."

"I'm not letting you leave to find an alien and possible get yourself killed."

"I'm not letting you tell me what I can and can't do." He threw her a tasty look expecting nothing less then the response he got.

"Your not going anywhere if I have anything to say about it."

"Well you don't so get away from me."

"Yes I do. You're my girlfriend."

"If that's how it is. Its over. From now on you can go fuck yourself and your god damn team. I quit." Tex walked off with a nasty look and a strong powerful stance. He knew she was mad, but quitting? Where was she going to go now? She stormed off slamming the door. Out of all the tons of times they'd broken up in the past it had never been like this. She truly acted like she meant ever word and he stood his ground fiercely with no regrets for the first time ever when they'd broke up. He walked to his bedroom slamming the door shut as he closed it.

--------------------------

Tex was wondering through Doc's dark lightless cave with only her small flashlight and her SMG. She heard Doc sleeping and a small footstep. Upon pointing her flashlight in a dark corner in the water she saw what looked like a teenage girl curled in a ball with ripped clothes.

"Hello?" Tex's voice echoed through the cave and the girl whimpered.

"Are you okay?" Her flashlight was fixed on the girl as she approached bending down next to her.

"Allison?" The girl's voice said light as she looked at Tex with her Blonde hair and Blue eyes.

"Alicia?"

"I don't know what happened! One minute I'm fine then I woke up in the middle of the night like this!!"

"Calm down. You're an alien so this could just be a thing that happens."

"I'm scared."

"Don't be. I came to find you. Lets go get you some new clothes." Alicia nodded then got up as Tex led her to the doorway of Blue base.

"I can't go inside."

"I know. Neither can I, but I'm going in to get my stuff."

"What happened?"

"I quit because Church wouldn't let me come look for you."

"So you guys broke up because of me?"

"Not you. Me. Now I'll be right back." Tex walked in quietly. While Tex snuck in Alicia started reading her mind. I wonder who in the hell this girl is. Then she started reading her heart and deepest wants. Everything was fine until she started to read her heart. Images started appearing in Alicia's mind of Tex stealing Wyoming helmet, Jr., the ship and leaving. Every image ended with the explosion then the ship crashing in Valhalla. She stop her mind from reading any farther into her future. The deepest thoughts and secrets Tex kept to herself spoke of horrible things killing with her bare hands, pleaser of killing and thoughts of killing the team. She felt knowing these things she could and never would look at Tex the same. After a few seconds of taking it all in she got snapped out of thought.

"I got you some fresh clean bigger sized clothes." Tex said strangely sweet. Alicia grabbed the clothes slightly aggressive.

"Thanks."

"Your welcome. We need to find someplace in this god forsaken canyon to sleep until I can call the Reds."

"Are you sure about this?"

"About what?"

"leaving this team for me?"

"Yes. Come on." Tex grabbed a suitcase full of her stuff and headed toward the caves. Alicia hesitated knowing what so knew about Tex wondering if she was trustable then chased after her.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"How can you do it?"

"Do what?"

"kill innocent people with families for only fifty or so bucks."

"I get paid more then that and it just happens. How did you know I do that?"

"Church didn't tell you I can read minds?"

"No. That good for nothing jackass."

"Calm down. We could stay at my ship." Alicia headed toward her ship then Tex stopped.

"To risky for me. I can't risk getting sprayed with killer perfume again."

"Don't worry. You won't. I promise. I trust you so trust me." Tex thought for a moment then headed toward the ship looking back at Blue base.

"Good." they arrived shortly and the ducked entering the ship. Alicia walked over to a panel.

"Authorize Allison." It beeped then a strange alien voice spoke.

""

"Huh?" Tex said confused and regretless.

"It said authorizing Allison."

"Oh." Alicia changed into fresh clean clothes that smelled flowery and clean. Then laid down on the ground as Tex removed her helmet shaking her hair loose. She leaned against the bottom of the panel as Alicia laid half asleep. Tex pulled a small phone sized device and started clicking away.

"What's that?"

"A digital priority organizer."

"Oh." She then went to sleep and had a horrible dream.

A man and women sat in a house with a daughter playing on the floor. The mother was sewing and the dad was reading a newspaper as the daughter played with a Barbie. Suddenly with a loud bang and the sound of thunder, lightning and rain the door was wide open and when the lightning struck it revealed a women she had short Orange hair Green eyes and a gun. She raised her gun firing two shots, one went into the mother's chest and the other the dad's. The daughter screamed as the women walked in toward the daughter revealing Tex with a frown and a slight smiling of pleaser. The daughter shook in fear the Tex raised her gun and with the blink of an eye she fired a shot in the little one or two year olds chest with a smoking gun she blew on it then walked out carelessly into the thunder storm.

Alicia woke up breathing heavy and with a scared feeling. She looked over to Tex who was in her suit and had a gun matching the exact one in her dream next to her well she sharpened a knife. She had no helmet on and looked up slightly at Alicia then back at the knife.

"Nightmare?"

"Uh.. Yeah."

"Forget about it. It was just a nightmare."

"I know."

"What was it about?"

"Uh.. Nothing. Not in the talking mood."

"More silence for me anyway."

"What time is it?"

"Six am."

"Oh. Do you know anything about killing a family of a daughter, father and mother?"

"What's it matter?"

"Just tell me."

"Yes."

"How old was the daughter?'

"One or two. Why?" Suddenly with a burst she realized it was true. Her nightmare had told her a story.

"Just curious."

"No your not. Why'd you ask?"

"I had a dream of that. I thought it was a dream, but it wasn't. You really did kill them. Why?"

"Listen little girl. You have no business in this. The reasons I killed them were good ones."

"And that would be?"

"I told you. That doesn't concern you."

"It must if I dreamt it. So tell me or I'll de authorize you. You'll be sprayed before you can shake a tail feather." Tex threw out a nasty look.

"You have no idea what your going to be getting involved with if I tell you."

"I don't care. Tell me."

"The dad was involved with a military project called, 'Project Freelancer'. it's a highly secretive project. Where they implant an A.I. into test subjects such as myself to make them better tougher fighter. Although it had a lot failures, that went insane from the A.I. and because of this they killed anyone who knew any classified information that had quit or went a wall such as me. The man's name was Harold Gaven. He was a scientist that found out about the failures and snuck off. Just as every project does Project Freelancer had a director his name was Leonard L. Church. He ordered me to kill the man and anyone he could have possible told. So I had to kill him and his family to protect the Director's secrets."

"Long story. One question."

"What?"

"Isn't Leonard L. Church the guy here?"

"let me explain. Ahem. All the A.I. were based off a human mind the alpha A.I. was the first A.I. ever created he was based of Leonard L. Church himself. They tried to copy the alpha, but it didn't work and it took to long to develop the alpha and they needed A.I. quick. So they came up with a very flawed and rushed fix. They put the A.I. through stressful situations over and over again until the only way it could survive was to split its personalities those personalities became the other A.I.. Omega, rage, Epsilon, memories, Sigma, creativity, Delta, logic, Gamma, Deceit, so on."

'So the one here is The alpha A.I.?"

"Yes."

"Wow. That's a lot to take in."

"I know. You can't tell Church."

"I won't. What I don't get is why I was dreaming of this family."

"What I don't get is how you could know about it. Now that everyone in the family are dead only me and the Director knew."

"I'm not sure. Give me a sec." Alicia went up to communicator.

"I'm going over to Blue base."

"Why?"

"I don't think I belong anywhere else."

"Good." Tex walked out latching on her helmet. Alicia pressed a button.

"Hello?" Vic's annoying voice chimed in.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Victor Jr.. You?'

"Alicia.."

"Oh. Hey Alicia!"

"You know me?"

"Of course! How's your mission coming?"

"Mission? What exactly was my mission again?"

"Kill that freelancer. You know. The one that went a wall!!"

"Tex?!!"

"She knows to much remember?"

"What!!? I won't be a chess piece in the Director's chess game!!"

"But should killed your parents. Remember dude?"

"That was my-"

"Kill her and your out."

"Wait!!"

"What?"

"If I'm human how can I read minds?"

"You're an experiment. Out dude."

"Wait!!…. Damn it."

-----------------

"What do you want you filthy Red!!?" Church shouted to Tex from the roof.

"Church I'm here to apologize."

"WHY?!"

"Listen. I'm sorry I yelled at you and quit. Can I rejoin?"

"Sure!" She smiled.

"So are we still dating!?"

"I guess so."

"Good! Now get up here and give me a wet one!!" She smiled and walked up. He pulled off his helmet and sat it on the ground.

"Can get down to my level? I would normally pull you down by your dog tags, but they're stuffed in your suit." He nodded then slouched down and kissed her. He stopped then looked around.

"I thought you went to look for Alicia."

"I did."

"Was she okay?"

"Kind of."

"What do you mean kind of?"

"She's a teenager."

"How?"

"I'm not sure other then that she's an alien."

"Where is she?"

"In her ship."

"Were you in there?"

"Yes, but she authorized me."

"Authorized?"

"Long story. What should we do with her?"

"Not sure. If she's not going to kill anyone she can stay."

"Sounds good. I'll go get her." Tex started to go down the ramp then turned around.

"Thanks." His only response was a quick nod as Tex did the same then running off.

---------------------------

"Alicia!" Tex walked into her ship and she was standing above the button she had pressed earlier.

"Are you okay?"

"Please go."

"No. Church is going to let you stay at the base."

"I can't."

"Why?"

"I just can't."

"I'm not going to let you die out here. Come on."

"I don't think we have to worry about that."

"Why?"

"I'm a pawn in the Director's sick game."

"What do you mean?"

"I called command and they told me I'm an experiment."

"Experiment?"

"I'm not sure. Listen I'll stay as long as I get my own bed in YOUR room."

"You pose a tough bargain, but deal. Come on." Tex ran out toward the base. Alicia watched with horrible thoughts for revenge entering her mind then followed.

---------------------

"Got her!" Tex ran up to Church then caught her breath as Alicia ran up behind her not out of breath at all.

"Sorry I kicked you out. Welcome back." He put his hand out and she shook it with a fake smile.

"Its okay. Thanks for letting me stay."

"Just don't bother me."

"Done."

"Tex you okay?" Church asked concerned.

"I'm fine. Just lost my breath."

"That's unusual for you."

"I am still recovering from near death."

"True. Go get comfortable Alicia while I get Tex moved back in." Alicia nodded throwing Tex a nasty look as she walked away.

"Church?"

"What Tex?" Alicia walked inside the base.

"Something is up with her."

"Like what?"

"I'm not sure, but I don't like it."

"I tried to warn you."

"I know."
