Alec stared at the X5 in the freezer, unable to breathe as if he had been
punched in the gut.
She stared at him, "Ben, you came for me! I was beginning to think you were dead." She got out of the freezer and moved towards the door. Numbly, Alec followed her. "How many guards are there?"
"I.I'm not Ben. I'm his twin but I can't explain now. The guards are downstairs but I was planning on leaving through the roof."
She stared at him and a look of puzzlement briefly washed over her face. She was confused, but like any X5, not slowed. She held out her hand for him to shake.
"Jondy."
He smiled, and shook her hand, "Alec. Let's get out of here."
Jondy nodded and took some clothes from a bin, scrubs but better than nothing. Alec looked out into the hall. Clear. He signaled to Jondy to follow him. They crept down the hallway. She then signaled to him to follow her. A signaling argument ensued and Jondy just went off in her own direction. Alec looked at his watch. 4:15. Running out of time, but still ok.
Or maybe not. Alec could hear the confrontation before he could see it. Three guards, no alarm pulled yet. He jumped into the fray as Jondy attacked a guard to the left. Alec quickly knocked one guard out before moving on to the next one. He blocked and parried while looking for an opening. He swept his opponent to the floor and slammed the guard's head onto the floor knocking him out. Alec moved to help Jondy with hers, just to see the guard hit the floor. Jondy gestured towards a door and signaled to move the guards in. Alec picked one up and went over to the door. It was locked, but he was able to pick it easily. They slid the guards in and Alec started out.
"Wait." Jondy whispered. She walked over to a cabinet and reached in. She pulled out a vial and held it up for him to see. "This is what it was all for!"
She started for the door. Alec followed her, curious, but eager to get the hell out of this place.
They made their way to the roof and climbed to the cold ground below. By dawn they had made it back to the abandoned house and Alec's motorcycle. They had just enough time to grab Jondy some warmer clothes and hop back on the motorcycle before sirens began to sound over the valley. When the guards had followed their tracks to the house, the pair was long gone.
