Max awoke with a jolt. Suddenly, she felt a hand pat her arm gently. A beautiful, dark red haired girl was writing something on a clipboard.
"Welcome back, Max! It seems that you have woken up!" the girl said cheerfully.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Max demanded.
"My name is Cossette, and I am a nurse. And I think that you know the answer to the second question." Cossette's hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail. Her sharp, blood red eyes bolted from the clipboard to the monitor and she filled out Max's charts.
She turned quickly, making her ponytail move to one side. A barcode suddenly appeared on her neck. "Are you a prototype?" Max asked after seeing the anomaly.
Cossette nodded as she measured out thirty CCs of injection for Max. "Now I guarantee that this will sting!" She pierced Max's skin with the needle and pushed the plunger of the syringe.
Max, surprisingly to Cossette, did not wince from the pain. But she did ask after the injection, "How long have you been a nurse?"
Cossette only looked like a teenager and surprised Max with her answer. "Since I was six!"
"SIX?????"
They were very rudely interrupted by the door's sudden opening. Madame X, or Renfro, called, "Miss Lydecker, may I have a word with you?" The moody (ahem) female dog of a woman walked through the door of the ward. "Preferably now!"
"Please excuse me," Cossette gently said to Max. She followed Madame X out the door.
"Yes, ma'am?" Cossette grumpily asked.
Madame X closed the door to the ward and glared at the girl standing in front of her. "Miss Lydecker, your father may have shown favoritism with you, but now that he is missing, no one will grant you those favors! Nor will I show ANY favoritism to you!"
"Ma'am, I do not know what favors you speak of! You know very well that my father gave me the most training out of all of the X series kids combined! I got the longest training sessions, longest lectures. Why else do you think that I can work at Manticore at a young age? Now tell me, what favors?"
"X9/8375-"
"Ma'am, I have a name!"
"Miss Lydecker, if you talk back to me one more time, I can have you shipped off just like the other members of your sorry group! Your father was a fool to create you!"
"Any way, ma'am, I have a patient to take care of!" Cosette interrupted. "Please excuse me!" Cossette walked back into the ward.
Do not attempt to adjust your set. This is a streaming freedom video bulletin. It cannot be traced, it cannot be stopped, and is the only free voice left in this country. This is a special nation-wide Eyes only to report to the surviving members of X5. It is my great dismay that I must report the death of X5/452 and the capture of X5/599. Eyes only has the possession of X5/599's contact number and requests all with the number to contact immediately. The fate of your family rests upon it.
Logan Cale, the cutie, turned off the hacking equipment and looked up at his friend, Bling. "Do you think that will help our cause?"
Bling shrugged. "Only if the other X5s saw it!"
Logan's phone rang. "Hope that's one of them now!" Logan picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Logan, where's my homegirl?" It was Original Cindy. Logan sighed, making her worried. "What happened?"
"Bad guys with guns shot her in the heart."
Original Cindy fell silent. "I-I-is she okay?"
"She's gone," Logan said sadly.
"What?"
"I said she's gone, dammit!" Logan snapped.
"She can't be!" Original Cindy's voice was starting to shake. "Boo wouldn't let anything hit her!"
"I wish it were so!" Logan said slowly. He expected a reply, but only heard the phone click as she hung it up.
Max's heart monitor sped up when Cossette walked back into the ward. She noticed the change. "Is something wrong, Max?"
"No!" Max's voice was higher than usual.
"It's the Miss Lydecker thing, isn't it?"
Max looked at Cossette strangely.
Cossette held out her hand, as if wanting Max to shake it. "Cossette Lydecker, RN. X9/8375 code name Fear." She put her hand down when Max did not shake her hand. "And you are X5/452 code name Max, right?"
Max nodded.
"I do my homework!" Cossette said cheerfully. She picked up the clipboard with Max's charts. "Heart rate back to normal….stitches healed….skin color is back to normal….temperature is normal….Looks like you have completely recovered!"
"So what happens now?"
"You resume Manticore training tomorrow."
Max sunk into her pillow at this statement. Back to Manticore? How could she go back?
