Family Unknown
Chapter 4
Brian awoke at the crack of dawn, and sat upon the porch watching the sunrise. Quietly Heather stepped out and sat beside him.
"The sun coming up, is as beautiful as the stars in the midnight sky," Brian mumbled to himself.
"Bri, you're so poetic……. What happened?" Heather asked surprised at her brother.
"I'm just looking at the world through different eyes," Brian replied.
Meanwhile…
Nick had gotten up with a yawn and a stretch. His stomach growled, he was hungry. Nick realizing that took off to the kitchen in search of food. To his surprise there wasn't even a scrap of food in Zack's fridge.
Feeling eye's burn through the side of his head Nick grumbled, "What are you looking at?"
"At you, Shit bag," Zack replied.
"Shut up, dumb ass!" Nick retorted while closing the fridge door.
Scott suddenly opened the door of the bathroom and yelled, "Will you guys just shut up!"
With that said, the door was once again closed. Brian got up from his seat on the porch, and walked into the kitchen where Nick was called a 'shit bag' moments ago. Heather and Liz followed Brian in. The five sat around the tiny table that was in the middle of the room.
"We have to spread you guys out if I know Manticore, and I do know Manticore they are probably looking for you as we speak." Zack spoke up.
"No way, NO WAY are we going to split my brothers, my sisters and me apart!" Brian exclaimed.
"But you have to….. You guys are in danger it's better if you all split up." Zack explained.
"Yah well maybe in your books, but not in mine!" Brian replied frustrated and stormed out of Zack's apartment.
On a phone two people spoke.
"X-8840 reporting!" A voice exclaimed.
"All is going according to plan I hope." Madame X said.
"It is, one of the X-5's Zack knows where you stored the prisoner, A Voice replied. "He and three other's are going to get her tonight, be ready."
"Don't worry soldier, just keep in check with the others." Madame X informed.
"Yes sir, X-8840 signing out." The voice stated as they both hung up.
The night slowly swallowed the day, stars filled the night sky. Time for the mission to be completed. Zack quietly crept out of his apartment, being unnoticed by the sleeping X-8. He met up with two people each giving a nod and followed Zack, waiting for their next order. Max waited for Zack at Logan's penthouse, they devised the perfect plan to get Tinga out of that hellhole.
"Geez! Where is Zack and the other's?" Max seemed to panic.
"Right here." Zack replied. "Calm down, we're just going to go in and out."
They all headed to the base, where Tinga was being held captive. Everything was going according to plan. Zack gave hand signals and Syl and Krit went off, leaving Max and Zack to finish the other half of the plan. Max went in the back way while Zack found another way in, shooting at the armed guards. Once the guards he had shot fell, a massive number of guards surrounded the perimeter not letting the X-5 escape.
