Unknown Link
Chapter 3
The day had come. They had been training hard for this event; they couldn't fail. The plan stated that the rescue would happen strictly at night. With Logan's help, they got the equipment they needed. They were ready, but so was Manticore.
_*_*_*_
Slowly the sky turned to midnight blue, and stars appeared. They reached the forest surrounding Manticore, leaving Logan in the van to execute from behind the scenes. The enhanced soldiers jumped the fence, paired up and scattered, all was going according to plan.
Krit and Syl reached the barrier, putting a bomb on the doors, backing away as the bomb exploded. In they went, for a thorough search for Max and Zack; Brian would be the X-8's problem. Tackling soldiers, as they went being sure the soldiers didn't report their location. The alarm went off, 'Intruder alert!' 'Intruder alert!' They reached another door, pushing through they spotted Zane and Jondy, giving each other hand signals all was understood. One wing of the building was clear.
Rapidly as the enhanced soldiers had come, the Manticore soldiers flooded the enormous building. Renfro and Deck watched their children on the security cameras. Renfro smirked; she was getting done what Deck could not and then some.

Scott and Liz found another way in. Reaching the laboratory, Liz put the bombs in. She turned around to give the 'ok' to Scott, but he had disappeared. She couldn't yell out his name, the soldiers were too close. She ran out of the lab as it exploded, glass shattering everywhere. Liz gathered herself up, and went on to execute the plan.
Heather and Nick had gone into the sector where Renfro's office stood. Both wanting to settle a score with Madame X. Reaching the door, they kicked it open only to find awaiting soldiers. Both went to the sides of the doorframe, going in there would be suicide, that was a risk willing to take if it could tell them where Brian was. The soldiers stepped forward, being met by flying punches, and the awaiting darkness of unconsciousness.
Nick and Heather walked in unharmed. Nick sat on Madame X's chair.
Nick smiled up at Heather, "Comfy," he whispered.
Then he proceeded in hacking into Renfro's computer. Heather rolled her eyes; her brother was goofy even at the serious of times. Then she spotted it, both her and Brian's barcode was printed neatly on the folder, lying atop of Madame X's desk. Her curiosity was getting the best of her, she open the folder, dropping it as she read its contents.
"Got it!" Nick stated, as he got up. "Come on, I know where Bri is."
Heather gained her composure, grabbing the folder off the floor while accidentally picking up another, that had also dropped. She followed Nick out of the office. Things were starting to look up; Bri would be free once again.
_*_*_*_
Madame X ordered her soldiers to stand off. She couldn't risk getting them all killed. Renfro smiled, I'll let those children to think their home free, but there will be no escape!
_*_*_*_
Nick slowed down in front of a white door; bars placed where there should be a window.
"This should be where Bri's stayin'," Nick stated.
Both Heather and Nick backed up as they put a bomb to the door. Exploding, the door crashed to the ground. In they walked, fanning away the smoke. And there he was, their Brian lying on that bed, restraints tying him down, and reddened eyes. Both siblings untied him, helping him sit up.
"Have I ever told you lately that I love you?" Brian said as he looked right into Heather's eyes.
