1 Hope and Memory
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that is not a figment of my own imagination.
A/N: Well I am back finally with chapter two to a story started so long ago I forgot what it was about. I want to apologize to anyone and everyone for this taking me so long to write. Work has sucked real badly lately and I just haven't had the time. But without further ado chapter 2.
1.1
1.2 Chapter 2: Brin's Fall
1.3
1.4 The rain washed over her lithe form. It had soaked her long black hair that was put up in a ponytail. It beaded up on the black leather jacket and the black cat suit she wore. X5-734 stood their contemplating her next move.
1.5 The whole night had been a bust. X5-452 was nowhere to be found. She had tried her work but she had been afraid to talk to any of 452's friends, not knowing how much they new about her or her connection to Manticore. She did ask the stiff guy behind the counter. It had taken all her control not to drag the prick over the counter when he shouted, "Bip! Bip! Bip!" while tapping at his watch. How did 452 work there every day and not kill him.
1.6 After that she had decided to follow some of 452's friends. She had ended up at some local bar. She sat in the corner by herself sipping a beer. An argument had broken out due to some relationship crap. Other than that it was just your average bar on a Saturday night. She sat quietly for three hours watching and waiting. But 452 didn't show. Hell the only thing that she had enjoyed was the looking at the cute bouncer. It wasn't enough to keep her there, but it was a nice distraction, at least for a little while.
1.7 So now in the rain she stood wet, scared, and exhausted. X5s didn't need much sleep but they still needed it. And she had not slept in over three days. I need to find a place to sleep she thought. I can search for 452 tomorrow. She thought shaking her head.
1.8 Her name is Max! Said a small voice that only 734 could here. We should know that Brin!
1.9 Oh great! 734 thought now the weak one is back. It had been getting stronger and more frequent ever since the fire until recently that is. She hadn't heard it in almost three weeks. It must be because I'm so tired. God 452 where in the are you?
1.10 Her name is Max! And if we wouldn't have been weak. We wouldn't have to find her. Tinga and Zack would be alive too. The small voice stated a little louder than the last time.
1.11 "Shut up!" 734 screamed into the endless sky. "You were the weak one." She whispered under her breath. Tears were forming in her eyes as she just stared up at the stars. "You were the weak one. You were the weak one." 734 kept repeating quieter and quieter. The tears flowing steadily down her cheeks now only to be washed away by the rain.
1.12 The exhaustion, the voice, and the sound of rain almost made her not hear the zip of a bullet streaking strait at her head. 734 moved at the very last second. Not quite fast enough for it to miss entirely as it tore brutally into her shoulder. The force spun her like a top. Her cat like balance was the only thing that kept her from going over the ledge. Her eyes scanned the darkness trying to find cover and relizing that there was none. Another shot tore though the night and she skirted side ways. The wet slippery concrete making it even harder to keep on her feet. Then pain flowed in waves of fire up her right leg as another bullet ripped into her calf. The force of this one knocked her legs right out-from-under her. 734 landed hard on the corner of the ledge breaking several ribs and bouncing her over the side. 734 screamed, not in pain but in frustration, as she began to fall to the ally floor. But the scream was cut short as the back of her head cracked into a window ledge. She then began to fall again, but this time into the empty blackness of unconsciousness. 734 body continued it's own fall with out its mind. It landed in a heap of garbage with a loud crash.
1.13 The impact woke Brin from blackness. All she could manage to do is wiggle and whisper softly "Max, Max, Max, Max, Max, I'm so sorry Max…" before the blackness grabbed her again.
