Part Fifteen
It was morning. Approximately ten o' clock A.M. when I woke to the smells and sounds of breakfast being made. I found that I was in someone's waterbed that's when it all came back to me; I hadn't been strong enough to resist him although I didn't remember anything past the making out part.
I brush my hands through my hair and find that it's in a ponytail. Quickly I make a move to see if my barcode was showing, which it was.
Conan came in wearing a large T-shirt and a pair of cargo shorts. "Hi." He was smiling greatly.
I just smiled but it quickly disappeared.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Geneva, I see it, what's wrong?"
I sighed, "I'm sure you noticed the anklet thing on me right?"
"Yeah..."
"I need it cause I'm chemically unbalanced. Every time it's that time of the month I can't control my urges to do stuff. It's like heat. Last night I went outside to get some air to clear my head and when I met up with you...well my friend, Ella, was supposed to hit a button that would send me into a hit of seizures, that was the only way to control it. Too bad she wasn't awake when I snuck out." I looked up at his face to read his expressions; he had none. "I guess I'll leave now, I'm sorry." I began to get up and look for my clothes.
"Geneva, it's okay...but I'm guessing you only 'want to be friends' correct?" I looked up at his face, he was smiling nicely.
I smiled, "Yeah, I don't want to be known as the town's slut on my first few days here, can we just pretend that we never had, you know."
"Sex? Who are you, what are you doing in my home?" he said with a smile.
"Thanks. Can I change now?"
Conan put his arms in the air and began to back away slowly. When he shut the door I searched for my clothes, and when I got dressed I walked out to where Conan was fixing some food.
"Hey, Conan I got to go and tell Ella that I'm okay and that it's over. See, after I get some action my brain chemicals are balanced out again."
"Okay, you said that you just got here, what have you been doing as a job or what ever?" Conan asked as I turned to the door.
"I used to be a mechanic. Where I used to live, but I quite." I said turning to face him.
"There's an old Harley shop that's looking for work along the main street."
"Thanks, I'll go check it out. What's your job?"
I work at the store Grocery. You been there yet?"
"Yeah. Well I got to go now." I said.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
I froze when the door knocked. I backed up out of the way just as the door swung open and in stepped a beautiful brunette.
"CONAN! Who is this bimbo?" She yelled.
"Excuse me?" I said, she shot me a look that said 'don't go there'.
"WHO IS SHE? I SAW YOU TWO MAKING OUT ON THE DECK LAST NIGHT!"
"Shit." I muttered like this was going nowhere.
"Jessica, I told you we're over, over. You can't come in here like that anymore, and that little drive by on the store wasn't cool!" Conan said coolly.
I tried to get to the door, but Jessica blocked it. "You want out you go through me." Jessica was a little big...she probably thought that I couldn't beat her.
"Move out of the way."
"No, why should I?"
"Cause if you don't I'll back hand you." I said calmly.
Jessica looked my up and down, "Huh, you're so skinny I could flick at you and you would bust open."
Conan spoke up, "Um, Jessica, I don't remember you ever saving my life."
I was careful not to show my emotions, "I think you're mistaking me with someone else. Seriously cause I don't live near here. So, if you'd excuse me..." I forcefully pulled the door open making her run into the wall.
I walked out and heard her trying to follow me. She was trying to sneak up on me. Right when she was behind me I whipped around and right when I did she tried to push me over board, but when I ducked down I **accidentally** stood back up with her on my shoulder and I dumped her overboard.
I heard Conan laughing from my right when he saw what happened. "I recommend, Jessica, don't do anything sneaky to me or Conan, cause I can kick your as$. You have been warned."
I gave a quick smile to Conan then I grabbed my skateboard and left. I skated all the way up the hill and when I was up there Ella was looking out over the water.
"Hey," I said.
Ella ran over to me. "Where the hell did you go?"
"Out."
"Geneva, what happened?"
"I met a guy last night, we're only friends now...I told him that I was chemically unbalanced and every once in a while I have ergs I can't control he was decent about it and said that it would be best if we were friends."
"Oh, so it's all good?"
"Yeah...I think I'm gonna go and work with him at the store Grocery. Should we go back to camp now? Oooh, his ex stopped by she saw us making out and started to get in our faces so she accidentally fell into the water."
Ella smiled, "Yeah, let's go...this thing is over right?"
"Yeah." I helped Ella get the tents down and loaded it up in Matt's car.
When that issue was finished we drove down and back to the campsite. When Matt saw me riding down the road he ran away to the bathrooms. I laughed.
"Matt! It's okay, it's over!" I called, "that reminds me Ella, I wouldn't mind if you pushed that little red button that removes this little piece of crap off my ankle."
Ella pushed it and at last I felt the blood actually reach my foot. Matt came around the corner still looking a little nervous. I smiled at him, and began to walk toward him. Matt ran around the corner when he saw that I was coming. I began to chase him around the bathroom facility.
"Matt, but I love you!" I yelled sarcastically. When I caught up with him I pushed him down onto a mound of dirt. I began to approach him like I had only one thing on my mind. But a foot away, "Just kidding." I said and pulled him up.
"You little..." He said and began to chase me around the bathrooms.
"But Geneva, I love you!" He said using that little tone that said just kidding...the same one I used. I laughed back at him.

Ella
//**Ella thinking to her self.**//
Look at them running around like a pair of lovebirds. I see it in them too; they like each other unlike brother and sister, the way they look at each other and the way they move around each other.
It's really kind of cute. I wonder if they don't realize it cause their 'family' or if they're in denial. Probably a little from column A and a little from column B. Oh well, perhaps I'm just jealous.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Geneva
Finally I made a smart decision and ran into the girls' bathroom where Matt wouldn't dare go. Ha. Boy, was I wrong. Matt ran in the bathroom and when I tried to get out he cornered me in the corner.
"I won." Matt said.
"When did we make a game out of this?" I pointed out. "And is this not a girls' bathroom? What-" I started but Matt did one of the least expecting thing to me. He kissed me.
When he came out of it I was still surprised but I still could speak, "Maybe I'm not done with the whole heat thing."
"No, Geneva, I am saying this, not our genetics."
I didn't say nor do anything. What was there to do? What was there to say? Then it came to me so easily; I kissed him in return. When I was done kissing I said, "Do you want to go out sometime?"
"Yeah, but not tonight, the guy's gonna be after Ella. And we have to protect her."
"Okay, maybe some other time."
We walked out of the bathroom.
"How did you know that deep down I knew that I cared for you?" I asked making sure no one could hear me.
He smiled slyly, "I read your mind by mistake and that's when I realized that I cared for you too."
I could actually feel myself blushing. I smiled at my reaction. Matt and I continued to walk towards the camp. I was starving so I began to look around for some good mixings. I decided on some cup of noodle.
I got a fire going and put some water in it then waited for it to start to boil. When it was done boiling I put the water in the cup and waited three minutes.
After three minutes I opened the lid and grabbed a fork to dig in to that yummy chicken flavor. Ella came to sit down by me.
"Hi, Geneva."
"Hi, what's up?" I said.
"Nothing much."
"Do you want to go swimming? I think it's gonna rain soon so if we want to we better get going."
"Okay, when I'm done with my noodles." I said continuing to chow down on my noodles.
Ella wen t into the tent and came back out a minute later. All dressed up, she sat down and waited for me to drink the rest of my juice. Finally at the last gulp of juice I looked around and jumped up into the tree where I had hung my other clothes.
When I got the collection of psyched out clothes I got into a ten and began to change into my clothes. I snatched my towel and exited the tent. When I looked over at Ella she had a very big backpack around her shoulders. I chose to ignore the bag and followed Ella down to the beach.
Ella lead me to the other side of the lake that I wasn't at yesterday. She opened up her bag and pulled out a very bright yellow-river raft.
"What's the raft for?" I asked.
"You'll see."
"You know I hate it when you leave me hanging."
"That's why I do it."
"Turd."
Ella began to pump the boat up with a little pump she brought along. When that was all pumped up she climbed in and when that happened I pushed off and we sailed out to the middle of the lake. Ella paddled us out to the middle of the lake where nothing could get us except for our paddles or maybe a helicopter.
In her backpack Ella pulled out an old silver Disc-man and put an old Christina Aguilara CD into it and cranked it up.
"Now we sing and be goof balls." Then the song started and she began to scream (rather than sing) out all the lyrics.
'LOOK AT ME YOU MAY THINK YOU SEE WHO I REALLY AM BUT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW ME! EVERYDAY IT'S AS IF I PLAY A PART, NOW I SEE IF I WEAR A MASK I CAN FOOL THE WORLD BUT I CAN NOT FOOL MY HEART!'
We sang that song cause it was the only one that Ella knew pretty well. After a bit we switched the CD to another one called Afro Man, she put it on, Until I Got High. I thought that was one of the funniest songs I have ever heard.
Ella and I stayed out on the lake until about five o' clock that evening when it began to start to gush down rain. I realized that, as much as I really wanted to stay here and sing like the geek I was, I had to go and get ready for tonight, with the whole killer problem.
"Ella, do you think we could, um, go now?"
"I think it'd be okay." She said immovably.
When we tried to paddle the boat was quickly filling up with water and we were starting to submerse. I couldn't believe that it was raining like we were in the shower, but that's Washington for you, the weather changes every fifteen minutes.
"Shit, Ella keep the disc man out of the water!" I spoke.
"Dude, we're sinking!"
I made my decision without realizing it. I dove in and began to push the boat to shore as quickly as I could. I stopped when I realized my effort was pointless.
"Ella," I said, "give me the disc man and anything you don't want to get wet!" She handed me her Disc man and her headphones.
"Hold on to the stuff!" I admonished right before I flipped the thing while holding the stuff in my mouth. Ella sloped in with me and swam under the raft. I put the stuff that I had up in the small compartment that could hold something and closed it up. I snatched the bag from Ella and tossed it up on the bottom of the raft.
"There, now we're not going to sink."
Ella splashed me in the face. I pushed the raft all the way to the shore, with the help of Ella. When we reached shore we began to put everything away. I helped her get everything loaded up, which to our frustration was terribly hard to get loaded due to the wet texture of everything.
When we succeeded in getting everything packed up Ella and I talked and drug everything up the small trails that lead to camp. I told her that I would have to go and get the go-cart from inside the cabin by the river that night. I knew at that time that she was getting suspicious, but she tried to hide it, had I not been a prototype I would not have seen it.
When Ella and I get to the campsite, Matt had already put up the tarps so that we wouldn't get too wet at night. Ella and I split off when we reached her campsite. I went to mine and noticed a man walk past me looking at Ella's campground. I didn't get to see his face because of his hood but he was more than likely a suspect.
I hurried over to my tent jumped in and began to change into my camouflage that was a little warmer and rain-resistant. I went over to Matt's tent and he opened the door. I motioned for him to come over to Logan's camper.
Matt knocked and Logan looked out the window before admitting us. We would not take any chances. I went into the camper which was bigger than it looked from outside of the camper. Logan had all his equipment out and ready to go. He also got his hands on a map of the area resting on a table. I sat down at the table and Logan sat across from me. Matt joined my side of the table.
"Okay, one of you goes out to the sand dunes, the other stay on his back. We're still not sure if he'll go to the sand dunes. We'll be in radio contact of one another." Logan explained.
"Who wants to follow him?"
"I will." I volunteered.
"I guess I have to stay put. I'll get a vehicle, so I can get around quicker, if you need it." Matt said.
"You can use my ride."
"Thanks."
Matt and I stare into each other's eyes saying that we hope the other one will be okay. I look away and dig into my pockets looking for my keys. I handed them to Matt.
"You guys are going to be out there a while. You up to it?" Logan asked, he noticed something funky going on.
"I slept all day, practically." Matt said.
"I don't sleep much." I added.
"Okay, I'll be hanging out here looking at satellite pictures. I'll warn you when something goes up." Logan said again shaking off the funky vibe he got off us, I almost smiled.
Following Matt out of the camper I exited Logan's lovely "home". We walked side by side until we reached my tent. I opened it up and wheeled it out of there so he could use it. I grabbed a net-like thing that looked like there were leaves growing on it to help camouflage it. I threw on the net and gave Matt one of his own. Matt threw it over himself and when he was done I threw my arms around him and gave him a giant hug. He returned it and played with my brown hair.
"Come back okay?" Matt said.
"I will, it's not like he's gonna do anything. I better get to my post." I said pulling away to look in his eyes.
"Okay."
I went back into the small buck of trees that separated our campsite from the other one. I jumped into the tree and sat there and waited for the mouse to come into the cat's lair. Matt zoomed out toward the sand dunes a minute after I got comfortable in the tree.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
(Several hours later.)
"Logan? You still with us?" I said through the microphone.
"Yeah, anything sighted yet?"
"Not a thing. How's the satellite pictures going?"
"Okay. So far so good."
"Shhhh." I whispered into the microphone.
I saw a guy approaching the campsite dressed in black and wearing a ski mask looking everywhere for peeping toms. The guy I was spying on took a can of something out of his backpack and sprayed it onto the tent's zipper. Then he opened it so quietly even I could hardly hear the noise. He took a rag out of his coat pocket and entered the tent.
Seconds later he was carrying Ella out of the tent door. I felt so guilty for not doing something but we had a plan. When he was out of hearing range I jumped down into a big muddy spot. Ewwww.
I follow him out to the sand dunes. So far everything was going as planned, he was going out to the sand dunes. I was a ways behind him but I could still see everything from the lake, or so I thought.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three gunshots. I feel my stomach turn to lead. I begin to run to them. When I get there I find that Ella is still unconscious and Matt's looking up at the man who killed that woman the other night.
"Matt, is he armed?" I whispered through the microphone.
"I kicked it." He choked out.
The man was facing Matt but his back was facing me, I quickly made my choice. I begin to run as fast as I can, then right behind him I launch myself out and ram my elbow into his spine.
"HAGH!" the man groaned.
He got up and came at me.
"My, my, I do believe we have a little bitch to beat now don't we?" He said in a hoarse voice.

"Okay, you said that you just got here, what have you been doing as a job or what ever?" Conan asked as I turned to the door.
"I used to be a mechanic. Where I used to live, but I quite." I said turning to face him.
"There's an old Harley shop that's looking for work along the main street."
"Thanks, I'll go check it out. What's your job?"
I work at the store Grocery. You been there yet?"
"Yeah. Well I got to go now." I said.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
I froze when the door knocked. I backed up out of the way just as the door swung open and in stepped a beautiful brunette.

I tried to get to the door, but Jessica blocked it. "You want out you go through me." Jessica was a little big...she probably thought that I couldn't beat her.
"Move out of the way."
"No, why should I?"
"Cause if you don't I'll back hand you." I said calmly.
Jessica looked my up and down, "Huh, you're so skinny I could flick at you and you would bust open."
Conan spoke up, "Um, Jessica, I don't remember you ever saving my life."

Matt and I stare into each other's eyes saying that we hope the other one will be okay. I look away and dig into my pockets looking for my keys. I handed them to Matt.
"You guys are going to be out there a while. You up to it?" Logan asked, he noticed something funky going on.
"I slept all day, practically." Matt said.
"I don't sleep much." I added.
"Okay, I'll be hanging out here looking at satellite pictures. I'll warn you when something goes up." Logan said again shaking off the funky vibe he got off us, I almost smiled.
Following Matt out of the camper I exited Logan's lovely "home". We walked side by side until we reached my tent. I opened it up and wheeled it out of there so he could use it. I grabbed a net-like thing that looked like there were leaves growing on it to help camouflage it. I threw on the net and gave Matt one of his own. Matt threw it over himself and when he was done I threw my arms around him and gave him a giant hug. He returned it and played with my brown hair.
"Come back okay?" Matt said.
"I will, it's not like he's gonna do anything. I better get to my post." I said pulling away to look in his eyes.
"Okay."
I went back into the small buck of trees that separated our campsite from the other one. I jumped into the tree and sat there and waited for the mouse to come into the cat's lair. Matt zoomed out toward the sand dunes a minute after I got comfortable in the tree.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
(Several hours later.)
"Logan? You still with us?" I said through the microphone.
"Yeah, anything sighted yet?"
"Not a thing. How's the satellite pictures going?"
"Okay. So far so good."
"Shhhh." I whispered into the microphone.
I saw a guy approaching the campsite dressed in black and wearing a ski mask looking everywhere for peeping toms. The guy I was spying on took a can of something out of his backpack and sprayed it onto the tent's zipper. Then he opened it so quietly even I could hardly hear the noise. He took a rag out of his coat pocket and entered the tent.
Seconds later he was carrying Ella out of the tent door. I felt so guilty for not doing something but we had a plan. When he was out of hearing range I jumped down into a big muddy spot. Ewwww.
I follow him out to the sand dunes. So far everything was going as planned, he was going out to the sand dunes. I was a ways behind him but I could still see everything from the lake, or so I thought.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three gunshots. I feel my stomach turn to lead. I begin to run to them. When I get there I find that Ella is still unconscious and Matt's looking up at the man who killed that woman the other night.
"Matt, is he armed?" I whispered through the microphone.
"I kicked it." He choked out.
The man was facing Matt but his back was facing me, I quickly made my choice. I begin to run as fast as I can, then right behind him I launch myself out and ram my elbow into his spine.
"HAGH!" the man groaned.
He got up and came at me.
"My, my, I do believe we have a little bitch to beat now don't we?" He said in a hoarse voice.
