Unknown Link
Chapter 2
Logan had graciously lent them some space to rest for the night. Heather sat upon the couch, watching the rainfall. The other's had all went to sleep, they would be carrying out the plan in a couple of days, they needed their rest. Heather couldn't fall asleep; her thoughts were somewhere else. She wished that Brian's capture could have been prevented. They could have stayed behind, and helped him escape. Instead Brian sacrificed himself for them. Tears started to form, but she wouldn't let them fall, after all she was a trained soldier. Even though, she cried when she first entered the New World, she couldn't cry this time. Brian was the only one who would be able to make her feel better, she knew he hated to see her cry.
So Heather sat on Logan's couch watching the rain, her sight clouded by the forming tears, and she analyzed why she was feeling what she was feeling. She always knew that she loved Brian, always thinking it was the kind of love only brothers and sisters have. But somehow it was different, the love was deeper then that, the saying 'you don't know what you've got till it's gone' just became true.

In Manticore
Brian had been sitting on the cold hard floor of his containment cell, thinking. Thinking about his family, thinking about Heather. She was the most important to him, though all his brothers and sisters are important, it was different for Heather. Heather depended on him; he depended on her soon growing to love her more then he should. The Manticore soldiers created by Lydecker and Renfro, they were meant to be killing machines, not to have emotions. They miscalculated; the enhanced children can even feel the strongest of all emotions… love. Exasperated by all his 'thinking' he let sleep consume him.

On a phone 2 people talked
"X-8840 reporting," The X-8 said as the phone was picked up.
"Good, everything is going according to plan?" Madame X asked.
"Yes Madame, The X-8 and X-5 are planing to rescue their brother's and sister." X-8840 replied. "They are going with the help of an outsider, to 'rescue' the three… be ready the attack will happen in a couple of days.
"Don't worry, we'll have the X-5, and X-8 at home safe." Madame X replied evilly.
"Fine, X-8840 signing out!" X-8840 stated and they both hung up.

The next day
Krit and Syl called up Zane and Jondy, it was clear that they couldn't do this alone even with the X-8's help. They needed all the help they could get. Manticore is a big place; they'd have to sweep the whole place looking for Max, Zack and Brian.
The door of Logan's penthouse soon erupted with loud knocking. Logan opened it, and in walked Zane and Jondy. They introduced themselves, and the X-8, Krit, Syl and Logan filled them in with the plan. They were going to get Brian, Max, and Zack out of Manticore and destroy the building once and for all.

Manticore
Max and Zack had gone through the final phase of the reindoctoration, becoming the perfect soldiers they were meant to be. They would work together, along side their sister Brin. Lydecker was once again in control of his 'children'. In secret, Madame X had already given them a mission: The Capture of all the X-5. Giving authorization from Renfro, they were able to get out of Manticore for completion of their mission.
