LAST EPISODE: Lydecker captured Kris. Max and Zack are going to track her down. Kris sees Ritchie for the first time in eleven years. Ritchie escapes to find the prototypes in Seattle.
It's been a few days since Kris by taken by Lydecker. Max was pretty worried about her. So was Zack. Even that Kris was a year young than Max, Zack was good friends with her. Max and Zack decided to work separately just in case Lydecker forces Kris to tell where they are.
Meanwhile, Ritchie sold the Manticore motorcycle and bought a newer motorcycle to get around. Ritchie also bought some new clothes with the money. Lydecker knew now his implant failed he had to keep a low profile and blend in with everyone.
Ritchie entered Seattle on his motorcycle. It was the middle of the night. He need help to get Kris and the others out of the Manticore Building. Before he escaped, it found about two of the other prototypes living in Seattle. He seen the tape of them talking to Kris so they would know what to look for.
He thinks 'those two didn't know the danger coming for them.'
He used the rest of the money to get an apartment to stay at while he searched for the two prototypes. The first night in the apartment a seizure hit and he had no tryptophan.
Some his memory flooded back to him.
KNOW YOUR ENEMY
The memory flashed. Ritchie is eleven years old. He is underwater beside him is Kris and Michael. At three minutes and forty seconds seven-year-old Kris couldn't hold her breath anymore.
Hold on Loner. Twenty seconds left.
Kris was struggling to reach the surface for air but her feet are tied down to the bottom of the pool. He sees Lydecker doing nothing; he is just looking at his stopwatch while Kris is drowning.
Why aren't you doing anything? She is dying.
It reached four minutes and the straps are released. Ritchie and Michael help Kris to the surface of the pool. Kris took one breath of air and passed out. She sinks to the pool. The scientists are pulling both of them out of the pool.
They were going to leave her there?
Ritchie pulls away from the doctors and scientist and dives back into the water. He swims toward Kris and pulls her out of the water. Kris coughs when she reaches the surface if the water. They are both pulled from the water.
Another flash comes to Ritchie. This happened seven years after the escape and he is nineteen years old. He thrown on an operating table and held down. A needle is stuck into his back.
What is going on?
He was getting tired and soon everything went black. He woke up a while later in his cell. His head was in throbbing pain. He felt his forehead and felt stitches and a bump.
What did they do to me?
The seizure was over. He goes the fridge and takes the milk and drinks some. Ritchie decides to find a place that had Trytophan.
He takes his motorcycle out and through the alleys looking for places that sold controlled drugs and supplies. He goes place to place with no luck until he sees a stand in a China Town.
There was a young lady running the stand. Most of the thing she sold was stolen items, he heard from the last dealer. In front of the stand were a blond haired man (Zack) and dark brown haired woman (Max). Both of them were wearing black.
His hands began to shake again and knew another seizure was coming. Ritchie quickly went up to the counter.
"Do you have Trytopthan?" demanded Ritchie as he got there.
"Wait in line." answered the woman who owned the stand. "There are two other waiting for some."
"I need some now." growled Ritchie.
"What's your problem?" asked Max. "I need the stuff more than you. I die without it."
"So do I." snapped Ritchie.
Zack noticed Ritchie hands were shaking. Then he spots a bar code on the back of his neck. He was one of them. "Max, he is one of us. It's Ritchie."
Zack and Max took Ritchie to a secret location used by "Eyes-Only" so Logan can talk to people who want to give information to him without revealing his identity. Max secretly hooked up a camera so Logan can watch the conversation while Ritchie was cooling down from the seizure.
"Why did you come here?" asked Zack.
"I finally managed to escape Lydecker." answered Ritchie "He knows you two are here. He is using Marc and Walker to find you."
Both Max and Zack knew Marc and Walker were one of Lydecker's best fighters and trackers and they also the most loyal to Lydecker. Those two choose not to escape the lab. Zack never got along with them.
"Loner is also in trouble." continued Ritchie. "Lydecker is going to put a control implant in her like he did to me and the others. I am lucky that mine doesn't work anymore."
"Where is she being held?" questioned Max. "We need to get her out."
"I agree." answered Ritchie. "She is a lab hidden in Skagit Valley near Chilliwack in Canada. I don't know if they moved her."
THE END
NEXT EPISODE: Kris is being moved to another lab. A computer hacker sents a message to Logan for Max, Zack, and Ritchie.
