Lydecker Plural
Part Two
I woke up with a start. Sirens were going off! Quickly using my cat-like reflexes I got dressed in record speed. I ran out side to see what was going on there were security gunmen all over Lydecker was just behind me.
"Sir?" a security man asked Lydecker, my dad,
"Several of the X5s are attempting to escape, I had to kill X5-766, she had shot an officer."
I stood there stunned, 'he shot Eva?' I thought in shock.
"Sir," I called,
"X5-492?" he questioned me
"Sir what's going on?"
"Genney, after hours you may call me dad as I will call you by your name," then he spoke, "some of the X5s are trying to escape,"
"Dad, why did you kill X5-766?"
"Genney, get back inside, I will tell you later as a father not as a CO!"
"Yes, sir." I said not letting my anger leak through as I was taught.
I ran up to the building, looked around, and jumped up to first story and watched from up there on the roof.
On the other side of the perimeter fence I saw them split up in different directions. X5-452 easily flipped a man over her shoulder. I watched them all either fall to the ground in seizure, keep running or get shot.
My mind drifted to the time I roamed the halls one night.

I ran silently through the public X5 halls because that I couldn't sleep I got up for a one-in-the-morning walk. For some reason I stopped in front of the sleeping quarters of the other X5s.
Avoiding the security cameras, I jumped up, grabbed a beam hanging from the ceiling, and took the grate off the airshaft, swung myself into it and started to crawl through the complex system of heating and air conditioning. Once I arrived over their room I listened in on their conversation, it seemed like X5-656 had gone out and somehow gotten hold of a list of names from around the world.
"Where did you get it?" X5-493 asked her
"I found it over in the medical uses facility," she paused, "I want the name 'Tinga'."
"I like the name Matt." X5-517 said quietly looking at the list, he passed it to X5-452
"I'm going as Max," she said passing it to X5-559.
X5-559 took it and said, "I still don't like that you went out but I'm taking up the name Zack." he said taking up the role of the CO.
In the end everyone in they're squad had a name; X5-417 was Jack, X5-573 was Brin, X5-701's name was Syl, X5-493 ended up to be known as Ben, X5-711 was Krit, X5-210's new name was Johndy, X5-205 was known as Zane, X5-797's name was Jace, then last but not least was X5-766 that was Eva.

I came back to reality and realized that I was still up on the roof in my pajamas. More reinforcements were coming out of the watchtowers and from inside the building. The gates had been opened so that non-engineered people and their dogs could get out and get them back.
I knew most of them would succeed because this was one great big game of escape and evade. Dad was going hysterical what with threatening people getting fired. I jumped back down once the alarms had been turned off, the only thing I could hear was dogs barking, men yelling and gun shots being fired.
I ran all the way to my quarters and once I got there I tried to block the noises out of my head and *try* to get some sleep, but dad's scientists put a little too much shark DNA into me. So I don't sleep easily, just like X5- 452 and X5-210.
Then at last I fell asleep again.
