CHAPTER 2
seattle 9:42 pm, Crash
"After that long day Normal had us working you know what I need?" Cindy asked Max
"A pitcher of beer." Max replied
"Yeah, that and that blonde over by the bar." Cindy said
"She looks strait to me, but good luck." Max said just as her beeper went off. It was Logan "Gotta blaze, see ya later."
"Roller-boy again."
"Yeah," Max said "but don't call him that, he's kind of depressed about being back in the chair."
"Whatever." Cindy said "See ya later."
seattle 10:00 pm, Foggle Towers
Max walked right into Logan's apartment, like usual not bothering to knock "This had better be important," Max called into the computer room "I just got off work a half hour ago, and I haven't even got a chance to relax yet." She was joking because she couldn't think of a better way to spend the rest of the night, than with Logan.
"Hiya." Logan said as he wheeled himself into the room. He was followed by a tall man with brown hair. "Max, I'd like you to meet Fox Mulder. Fox, Max."
"Hi." they both said.
Logan continued "I was thinking you might like to share the information that you just told me with her. I think she would be very interested."
"How is she conected to Manticore." Mulder asked
"I'm just into the whole government conspiracy part of it." Max said quickly.
"OK." He said "Manticore was a government run lab that, when the human genome project was finished, used the results to create super soldiers. The project was assinged to a Colnol Lydecker, who showed an immense interest in the young soldiers. The children's DNA was spliced with that of cats, giving them the increased speed, strength and ability to jump. This was not the first attempt to create super soldiers, the government had tried during the Cold War, but all of the prototypes had massive phsycosis. Manticore, however, sucessefully created a super human. Everything was going fine for them until 2009, when a group of X-5's escaped. Since then, Lydecker has been searching for them. He has only been able to get one of them back. He sucessfully captured another, but he escaped. And eyes-only prevented anymore from being captured when he did his cable hack." All this information Max already knew, except for the previous attempt to create a super human soldier. She had thought that Manticore had been first.
"Do you know anything about where the X-5's went after they escaped?" Max asked
"My partner is coming with the information that I have about the other X-5's. But I think that you might be an X-5." He said, suprising her. He saw the look on her face and said "I have a knack at reading people's facial expressions, that's why I became a criminal profiler. I saw the way your eyes narrowed when I mentioned Lydecker and the way you looked when I mentioned the other X-5's. Most of them are in Canada, but I cant remember exactly where. That's why my partner is flying up with the information."
"Oh." Max said
"In the meantime," Logan said "how about something to eat?"
"Sounds good to me." Max said.
washington 10:00 pm FBI Headquarters
Deputy directer Kursh was sitting in his office on the phone "Hi," he said "It's me, Kursh. I'm just calling to tell you, I think I know where one of your X-5's are. And one of my agents knows where some of the others are. I have bugs planted in their office and I heard them talking about going to Seattle to talk to a rep for Eyes-Only about Manticore. I don't know where the rep lives, just that he's in Seattle somewhere. Probably a wealthier citizen if he's got enough time to help Eyes-Only. I'll call you if I get any more information." and he hung up the phone.
gillete 10:02 pm Manticore Headquarters
"Get some troops ready, we're going to Seattle. We wont fail this time."
