Family Unknown
Chapter 5
Seeing the guards surrounding the perimeter, Krit and Syl retreated. Punching through a window, they leapt out of the building. Running, they caught up to Logan's awaiting Aztec.
"Where's Max?" Logan asked frantically.
"Zack and Max are trapped!" Syl exclaimed.
"We have to save Max!" Logan shouted.
"No! It's too late for them, we have to regroup and get them out later," Krit stated firmly.
"It's too dangerous to go in there again, this way we have a chance to get them back Logan." Syl explained.
"Fine, we'll get them out later." Logan reluctantly agreed. "We're gonna get you out Max…" Logan whispered as they drove off to his penthouse.
The sun rose, as the rays of light slowly crept in. The X-8 slept unaware that the enemy had captured their ally. Brian awoke by the street sounds below. It had been the first night that they slept so soundly, not being bothered by the snoring their brother suffered from. Getting up, Brian walked to Zack's room and knocked on the door. No one answered, he knocked on it again. After trying several times Brian decided to go in.
"Zack! I'm coming in!" Brian yelled frustrated.
He waited a few seconds getting no response. He grabbed the doorknob and slowly turned it, opening the door. He walked in, only to find that the room was empty. Zack had disappeared during the night he could tell. Liz walked in on hearing her brother yelling.
"Zack always disappears, don't worry Bri." Liz reassured.
"I'm not worried Liz, I just wanted to tell him that we'd be moving out soon." Brian replied.
"Oh, so where are we gonna stay then?" Liz wondered.
"Some place I found, It's got enough space for all of us and the rent is okay." Brian answered.
"Um Bri, how could you afford this?" Liz questioned.
"I got a job, yesterday and Logan was generous enough to pay for this months rent." Brian said while walking out of Zack's room. "We'll probably be moving out tomorrow."
The rays of light filtered in through the bared windows. Max was back in Maticore, tied up by restraints. What had happened she couldn't remember, but Zack was with her. Where is he? She questioned herself. Suddenly the door of her containment cell opened. It was Madame X, smiling wickedly she looked at Max.
"I'm Madame X," she introduced herself.
"Where's Zack?!" Max shouted enraged.
"You know you shouldn't have tried to save your sister, it wouldn't have worked." Madame X stated.
"Where's Zack and Tinga?!" Max questioned once again.
"Oh, your brother and sister, they're in good hands." Madame X replied as she walked out of the room, giving a nod to a doctor that stood near by.
