think ive given up on this story. Plot is coming along with shippiness and
lots of stuff in general. I should have the next chapter, which will be
considerably longer, up in . give me 5-6 days?
Part 12
"So let me get this straight," Rook mused breaking the silence that had fallen over him and Spartacus. "We're under siege with 20 city blocks smack in the middle of Seattle to our disposal and if we dare risk it, the rest of this god forsaken place and yet we can't think of anything to do?"
Rook was lazily sprawled on a busted up couch in headquarters while Spartacus sat on the table in the room; her legs crossed Indian style. Her head rested on her hand and she had a bored look on her face.
"Yep. It's pretty pathetic," she confirmed blowing a strand of hair away from her face.
Rook looked over to her and chuckled, a few pairs of eyes observed their conversation as Dix sat working on the computers typing away and Luke worked on some gadget or other. A few others loitered around going over the maps for the heist they'd planned for that night. They needed cash.
"It's not funny Rook. This is cataclysmic for me. I NEED to do something or I'm going to spontaneously combust!" she cried in frustration glaring in his direction half-heartedly.
"Why is that? I mean why can't you just sit in silence and muse over your own thoughts?" Rook asked genuinely curious sitting up slightly to face her and awaited her reply.
"Because if I don't do something the only thing I can do is see in my mind all the images, memories and information that for some reason I pick up on, not to mention this whole Alec and Max thing. I can understand seeing the thoughts of someone in trouble so I can help out, like that time with Kahlua. But WHY do I need to see them get their way overdue 'nookie' session?" she argued and Rook suppressed a chuckle, both at her words and at the long breath she drew in.
He decided to ignore her little rant and rolled his eyes continuing with his outspoken train of thought, "Okay let's see. We got Max and Alec together so hopefully you wont be frizzled by their 'UST' anymore. Since everything is quiet on the transgenic front they're off somewhere getting, and I quote, they're overdue nookie. Mole and Wesley have weapons under control and Zyme and Stitch are completely fine in the infirmary. Sandy is getting some much needed sleep as when he wakes up Max is gonna give him the third degree. Which, since he hasn't slept in like three days, doesn't look to be anytime sooner than in at least another eight hours."
Spartacus rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to argue but Rook stopped her, "Let me finish. Jondy and Zane have gone off somewhere, they said where but I wasn't listening. The point is, they'll be late as no doubt they'll get sidetracked. Zack is helping out with the repairing of TC. Kahlua is teaching an X8 class and Mint is learning in an X8 class. Joshua wont leave Sandeman's side and we've already settled in, played pinnacle war at least two dozen times. What else did we do?"
"We painted my room and watched the video. Oh and we set up security cameras, hacked into government files and downloaded blueprints. Logan sent us all he'd found on the familiar stuff and we played escape and evade with the Picassos," she pitched in with a bored tone as she counted on her fingers.
"Then we went and watched the sparring and I won $150. That was a great fight, we played two games of chess, one went to you the other to me and you've annoyed Mole to a point of no return singing 'This is the song that never ends.' Three hours since Max and Alec went off, the hour is 11am and we find ourselves here," Rook finished and looked over to her. She huffed as she squeezed her brain to find something to do.
******** Please please review and I promise ill have the next bit up soon.
