The sound of Max's heart, No Zack's heart
beating echoed around her like a curse.
She wished she could silence the
sound. It reminded her with every beat that Zack was dead.
Tears rolled down
Max cheeks.
God Zack why'd you have to do it?
He was her brother she had
loved him with every aspect of her being. Zack had in return loved her enough to
sacrifice himself to ensure she would live.
Max's shoulder's shook with sobs.
"Zack. Zack. Zack." She repeated his name over and over again. She continued
to cry to curse herself. If she hadn't been so damned careless Manticore would
be dust now. Everyone would be free. And Zack...Zack would be alive.
Max was
yanked out of her thoughts as she heard footsteps approach the door.
The door
slid open and Renro walked in.
Max snarled at her as she approached
her.
"Come X560 it's time for you're reprograming." Renro's voice was calm
and a smug smile hovered around her lips.
"Go to hell!" Max
snapped.
"Sorry dear already been there," Renro chuckled as if the words Max
had said amused her.
"You will die. Very soon you will die and It'll be me
who kills you," Max growled.
"You really don't want to do that do you X560
unless you want to die. And you really don't want X504's sacrifice to be in vain
now do you?"
Max glared murder at Renro. She hated this woman. Hated her far
more than she had hated even Lydecker. Max tried to jerk away from Renro as she
approached and laid a hand on Max's arm.
"Now X560 you're reprogramming will
start." With that said she injected a syringe filled with dark blue fluid into
Max's arm.
Max fought the drug as it began to take over her system. The edge
of her vision was black. She was still fighting it as she lapsed into
unconsciousness.
