Chapter 26

When she walked in one of the bouncers told her the boss wanted to see her. First thought that came to mind was that he'd fire her for being late.

"You wanted to see me?" Meg asked walking into his office.

"You're late." He replied not looking up from his papers. "Anyways I've got an outside job for you. A bachelor's party in sector 9."

"When is it for?" Meg questioned glad with the turn of events. She liked the outside jobs because she got paid more and the tips were ten times better.

"Now so go get changed and John will drive you over there."

Meg hurried and got her things ready. When they arrived at the hotel John walked her to the door and then headed back out.

Venturing into the hotel room she couldn't help but think it was pretty quiet for a bachelor's party but kept going. Pushing open the bedroom doors she came face to face with a man sitting at the foot of the bed.

"Hi, I'm here for the party." Meg said.

"I know." He replied standing up and walking to her.

"Am I early or something." Meg questioned looking around for anyone else.

"No you're just in time." He smiled at her. "You're prettier than I thought." He added walking to the door and closing them.

Things didn't seem right when she'd found only him, but after hearing him look the door behind her she was positive something was wrong. "What's going on here? Who are you?"

"This is a private party." He replied a little too calmly.

"I think that maybe I should just go." Meg started for the door. He was standing in front of her a little faster than she'd thought a human to be. "Who are you?"

"You can call me Ames." He replied throwing her onto the bed and climbing onto of her before she had time to move. "Since you're mother took my son from me we needed to find another for me." He said his voice suddenly full of anger and hate. "The conclave has chosen you for me. They say it's written in the stars." His lips burned her skin as he kissed down her throat.

Meg tried as hard as she could to push him off her but he was just as strong as another transgenic. "Please, don't do this." Meg begged still trying to push him away.

Ames was getting angrier by the second. The conclave tells him he has to kidnap 452's kid. Then they tell him he's actually sleep with the freaks so she'll bare his child. Things weren't any better when he kept failing in the attempts to grab her. But now that he had her he wanted nothing more than to disobey the conclaves orders and snap her neck. She was being difficult and he wasn't sure he'd actually be able to go through with it.

"Shut up." He yelled and punched her unconscious. "Great." Getting off her he pulled his cell phone out of his pockets. "Get in here." He ordered and within a minute five men were standing before him. "Take her back to the house."

Alec arrived at the warehouse after Lydecker. He jumped to the subject right away not wanting to waste any time.

Unit 17 never existed and nor did Amanda within Manticore soldiers. She was a familiar sent undercover to get close to Meg but instead got close to Alec since clearly his weakness was Meg.

"What do these familiars want with Meg exactly?" Alec questioned taking this all in.

"She got caught in a war that started with her parents. Unfortunately for her she got everything from her mother that this cult wanted from Max." Lydecker replied.

"What the hell does that mean? What do they want?" Alec was loosing patience.

"They want her plain and simple." Lydecker said. "Max took their best mans son. Now they want Meg to have his child. Her blood is special and has some sort of special power within their cult."

"Well even though I don't understand completely we'll just have to protect her more." Alec replied. "Hell I'll go away with her if I have to."

"Son…" Alec glared at him warning him never to call him that again. "No matter where you go these guys are everywhere. We don't know who half of these guys are. She won't be safe anywhere."

"I can't just sit there and do nothing." Alec replied pissed off.

Lydecker didn't know what to say to the young soldier. In all honesty he didn't think there was mush hope for a happy ending especially with the way things ended with Max.
