Sorry for holding the story hostage. It was a spur of the moment thing.
Anywayz I promised and here is chapter 9. Thanks to all those who review
and again I apologize for my drastic measures but hey, never accomplish
with words what you can with a flamethrower.
Part 9
Spartacus sat on the table in the middle of TC headquarters. Her head was slightly tipped to one side as she watched Mole with unabashed curiosity. He uncomfortably glanced at her every few moments as he cleaned a gun trying not to show her his uneasiness.
Her legs swung back and forth underneath the table and her body rocked with the momentum. Dix, Luke and other transgenics watched with interest trying not to be noticed but clearly intrigued by this human girl's behavior and complete lack of fear. She wasn't the least bit threatened in fact she looked rather giddy thought Rook from a seat not too far away watching her and playing a game of chess with an arctic division guy.
Mole took the cigar from his mouth and snapped, "What? You've been staring at me since two hours ago when you came in with leftover pizza. Now could you please tell me why your eyes are constantly boring into my head?!"
Spartacus smiled showing a full set of teeth and shook her head softly, "You are awesome. You all are but man, you take the prize lizzie boy."
The transgenics were openly staring now as they made a circle around the pair; Rook near the front, ready to jump in at the slightest threat that might be posed towards Spartacus. But Mole took everybody by surprise and sat back down with a small grin and a shake of his head, "You are one screwed human. Just don't let that tongue of yours go, one day it's gonna get you in a whole heap of trouble little lady."
Spartacus grinned and winked at Mole and with a mock yes sir she jumped off the table.
Rook shook his head and taking her by the hand began leading her away, "C'mon you, it's way past your bed time."
Spartacus pouted but allowed him to lead her outside, "Oh c'mon Rook it's just five in the morning," she whined.
Rook stopped and turned around a disbelieving look on his face. Spartacus grinned and shrugged innocently, "So where're ya takin' me loverboy?"
He chuckled still clutching her hand and moved closer and leant down close to her ear, "To heaven and back baby." He pulled back and had to suppress his laughter at her flabbergasted face. He shrugged innocently mimicking her earlier actions before turning around and began walking away.
She stood there still slightly shell-shocked. His retreating form shook her out of her reverie and she went after him, "Hey come back! You can't just give an offer like that and then leave a girl hanging. It's just wrong."

White sat before the Conclave. He played absentmindedly with the pen in front of him as he distractedly listened to their arguing.
"How are we supposed to get rid of them. They bet our Phalanx and they were only four. We can't send them into Terminal City. And sending large numbers is out of the question, we'd be discovered," one of the high priestesses argued.
"I say we turn the public against them. WE get the humans to invade TC. They don't seem to have any qualms about killing them," another said.
"Humans don't stand a chance. They might get a few but they could never hope to win against a large army of organized transgenics. Our easiest bet is just to bomb them. Or smoke them out," a third pointed out.
White snapped the pen and slammed it onto the table grabbing everybody's attention, "We need to get them bit by bit, not grand scale. Lure them into a trap and while some are off we attack the city at the same time. We can't fight them all at once."

Alec couldn't help the smile that split his face as he gave chase. The adrenaline was pumping and he realized that he truly felt free. His legs sprinted so fast they almost seemed like they weren't touching the ground.
He saw her dart into one of the apartment buildings and up the stairs but he didn't miss a beat as he continued to gain on her.
Sprinting down their hallway he jumped grabbing and immobilizing her legs and with a surprised squeak she fell to the floor. She struggled to get away still laughing maniacally. He watched her smiling as he pinned her arms on either side of her head and his body weight on her so she couldn't move.
Her laughter died down but she kept the impish smirk, "Alec. let me go."
He pushed down on her letting her know he was in control and he whispered, "Now what would be the fun in that. Nope I don't think I'll let you go, I'm quite comfortable. If you wanna leave you're gonna have to give me a fee."
She looked up into his eyes and saw complete sincerity; "You're not joking are you?"
Alec merely shook his head and smiled even wider at her sigh of frustration, "What's wrong Maxie. Cat got your."
He never finished his sentence as Max shot up and pressed her lips against his. She pulled back and laid her head back down watching him. His eyes were closed and his tongue shot out to moisten his suddenly too dry lips.
"Is that a good enough fee," she asked slightly breathless.
She didn't wait for his reply and taking advantage of his distraction shimmied up from under him and sprinted away.
******* Yay! I got there. You m/a fans out there happy. Well whatever feeds your cat. Now come on are you ready?. concentrate. REVIEW!!! .please.(tentative smile)
