I decide to warn Cindy. So I call her. Warning her was a bad idea.
"I'm helping. If it's for my Boo, I'm helping."
"Cindy, it's too dangerous!"
"Then I'm holding up the fort with Logan!"
"He's got Lydecker to help him" I'm cut off.
"Lydecker? The ex-drunk that has been after my Boo for the last ten years?"
"Eleven years and yes, but now they want his ass dead so he's helping us!"
"I'm helping which ever way you say no, I'm saying yes."
"Fine," I say. "Be at Logan's in an hour." I hang up the phone and
turn to Logan.
"Logan, we've got someone else to help you. Cindy's helping."
"Okay," Logan says. I turn to the dinning room, which has been turned into
a war room of sorts. Rough sketches of Manticore plans are everywhere. The
numbers and positions of X-Series soldiers are on them this time too. We're
not going in unprepared. We've come up with scenario after scenario.
This has got to work. If it doesn't, we'll never know. We figure Max and
Zack's remains would be in the infirmary so that's were we're going first.
Cindy comes over and demands the 411. So we fill her in. She looks like
she might cry but she won't. She's going to be driving the getaway car. She
doesn't like Lydecker. She ends up telling him off. Logan separates them
and makes sure Cindy has something to keep her busy. Four tried before and
failed. Four try now, and they shall triumph.
