Here's Part six, it's really short, though. I'm not sure if Jack was ever mentioned in the show or not, but he is the kid that was taken away because he had seizures, when Max snuck into the operating room and saw Lydecker drinking coffee while they were doing an operation. I just don't know if I got the name Jack from the show, or from someone else's fanfic. If the name was someone elses, I'm sorry for taknig it, there is no harm intended, and if you wish me to change it, I will.

By the time Logan's parents got home and she got back to the mall, Max was half an hour late. But she was twenty-five dollars richer. Logan was till absorbed in his computer, his fries long gone, and he barely looked up when Max sat down across from him.
"Whatcha find?" she asked, putting a hand in front of his monitor to make him look up.
"Not much, you're right, they do have very tight security at Manticore."
"Told ya. I got us some more money. Here." She handed Logan the twenty-five plus the ten that he had given her earlier.
"How did you get the money?"
"Babysitting. These really cute kids. They want me back tomorrow, but I told them I'd call, that I had to ask my parents. You know, people my age still live with their parents now."
"Yeah, I know. Most people your age are still in school." He put the money in his wallet, "Now, about what I found. At the moment, you are ten months old, and there are four others your age. Zack and Tinga are almost two and are already in training. According to the schedule that I have found, you will start training along with Syl and two others when you turn one. And it will begin with stuff like schoolwork and little exercises to get your strength up. In fact, you already have a vigorous workout schedule, which puts you ahead in development by about two months compared to other children your age."
"The DNA splicing probably also has something to do with it." Max interrupted. "What else did you find?"
"Not much, except for a list of all the X5s, there are only two younger than you, and about thirty older than you. All ranging from six months up to 45 months.'
"Thirty three? All I remember is about twenty of us, and Jack was the only one younger than me and Syl, I don't remember anyone else being our age, either."
"Then what..."
"Weeded out, because they weren't good enough. Experimented on so the rest of us could be improved. Is there any way we could take them out, from here, I mean."
"I don't know, Max. They have really tight security, and you're the only one who could get in. It took four of you to take it out twenty years from now, and Zack..."
Max interrupted Logan again, "I know, Logan, but in twenty years, there will be X7s and adult X5s at Manticore. Now there are only baby X5s, and if I recall, all the other X series were no good. What we called Nomalies."
"You're right. There would be no resistance like what you could give. But would you be able to do it?"
"I know what to take out, Lydecker told us, remember?"
"And the children? There are over thirty kids in there. Babies, Max, what are we going to do with them?"
"We'll figure that out when we get there..."
