The Cult (3/3)
Heather was lying down on a bed. She had ice packs on her to slow the mutation of her genes. According from Michael heard from Max and Zack, four other known X-5s came down with the same thing as Heather. It spreads quickly and Heather would only last a few days. Manticore was the only one with the cure. There was no hope.
Michael was by her side and Ethan was rest on a couch nearby with Heather's surrogate mother, Angie, sitting beside him. Michael was sad and tears were coming out of his eyes.
Suddenly, there was a crash outside the building. Michael and Angie go to the window and they see army trucks have broken through the gates. Men in black uniforms and armour pour out of the trucks.
"What's going on?" Angie asked Michael.
"Lydecker." Michael answered. "Get Ethan away from here. He is in danger here."
"What about you and Heather?"
"I will keep them away from here. Just get Ethan out of here."
"Okay." Angie replied as she picked up Ethan and ran out of the room.
Michael ran out of the room too and locked the door behind. He saw the TAC team was already up in the hall and they have Angie stunned and Ethan was scared and crying beside her. Michael began beat up the TAC team.
He picks up Ethan and began to run down the many flights stairs to get Ethan to safety. At the bottom of the stairs, there was another part of the TAC team. Michael ran back up the stair and there was another TAC team. He was trapped.
"Surrender 349283759392." said Lydecker as he came in to the area.
Michael had no choice he was outnumbered but he didn't want put Ethan in danger. He hid Ethan's face so they won't see a resemblance.
"Only if you promise to leave this child alone." Michael told Lydecker. "He has no part in this."
"Give the child to the TAC leader." Lydecker ordered Michael. "Then go quietly."
"I will only give him to one of my friends." Michael shot back. "I don't trust him with you."
Lydecker whispers to the leader of the TAC team. The leader signals to the other people in the team. Michael knew that signal. Before he could move, he was stunned.
Max, Kris, and Ritchie managed to track down where, the people took Michael with Logan's help but they knew they came too late the look of the gate and the rest of the building. They knew Lydecker was long gone now so they decide to look around.
Inside the place was a wreck. The people who lived there were beginning to clean up the place. A woman comes up to them.
"Who are you three?" demanded the woman. "Why are you here?"
"If you think we are more of the people who did this to you," answered Kris. "You're wrong."
"They are the enemy," added Ritchie. "We were looking for our friend, Michael."
Another woman comes into the hall. It's Angie. She tells the other one to leave. "You're too late."
"We kind of figured that out." said Max.
"Lydecker came--" began Angie.
"You know about Lydecker?" interrupted Max.
"I will explain later." Angie continued. "Lydecker took Michael and two others."
"Who?" Kris asked.
"My step-daughter, Heather and their son, Ethan." answered Angie.
Max, Ritchie, and Kris were shocked to hear Michael had a son. They had to do something and quick.
