Eagle Eyes
Manticore was not the only covert military operation making genetically enhanced prototypes. In fact, there were many more all around the world. In Australia, there was one called Eagle Eyes. This is their story.
Chapter Three
Kaylee sat on the train, bound for Melbourne, where she would get off and take the first plane to Sydney. She was in Car E, Seat 47, and was sitting staring out of the window. She was trying to remember exactly everything Agalia had told her.
^^^^
"What's happening? Who's Hannah? Why isn't Albury safe anymore? Mum you have to tell me, please?"
"Well the very first thing you should know is that I am not your mother."
"What! But. What about dad and Schaffer?"
"They are not your father or brother. I'm sorry that I don't have more time to explain."
"So I'm adopted?"
"Not really. You see you were.how should I say this.you were made."
"Made?"
"Made. I can't tell you all of it, because I only know a little, but you and many others were genetically engineered to be perfect soldiers. But six months after the last two of you were born, fourteen nurses took fifteen of you and tried to escape. Only one, Hannah, made it past the guards with the two youngest. You and another girl. You have to find Hannah. She will be able to tell you more. The last address that I have for her is in your wallet, and her phone number is in the mobile phone that I have brought for you. You must give me your old phone and your old wallet. You can no longer be Kaylee Gunnar, they have found out who you are and are trying to recapture you."
"Recapture me. Why?"
"I do not know why. Maybe because you're a valued asset of theirs, or maybe just because they do not want anybody knowing their secret."
"But."
"I can't tell you any more. You're train will come very soon. You must change into some different clothes. Do it now."
Once she had gone and gotten changed, Agalia began telling her what she must do.
"You must take this train to Melbourne, and when you get there take the first available flight to Sydney. If the first flight is not until tomorrow, you must take the first flight out of there, no matter where it goes. Then from where ever you are, you must take a flight to Sydney. When you get to Sydney you need to find Hannah or if she is not at that address then go to the one labeled back up. There you will find a woman named Vanessa. She will be able to tell you where Hannah is."
"But I don't."
"You must do this. You're life is in danger. There are certain things that you must leave behind. Not just material things either. You must not use the name Kaylee, or talk about any of us. You must leave us, and all of your friends behind. You must not try and see or contact any of my relatives, or Jonathon's, because that will endanger them. You must not try to contact us from any private phone or they will find you and hunt you down. If you must ring anyone, then you must use a public phone. Do you understand?"
"I can't ring you from my mobile, but I can from a public phone. What about you guys? Aren't you in danger too?"
"Not as much. They may try to hurt us, but it shouldn't work."
"What about me? What are you going to say to my friends and school?"
"That you ran away. I have a contact in the Police who can fake a report saying that you have run away, but were spotted by the police in Adelaide. You will have rang us from Adelaide and told us that you don't want to be found, that you are fine, and we will stop the search. Two days later you will be found dead in a river, as a result of a horrible murder."
"That's awful."
"Yes, but it is necessary. Do you now see why you must leave Kaylee and everything that has some connection with her behind?"
"Yes. But mum. I mean Agalia, why can't you come with me?"
"Because I would endanger you too much. Your train is here. You must go now."
"Please tell Schaffer that I'll miss him and that I'll never forget him. And tell Jonathon that I love him and will miss him. I love you Agalia. I'll miss you the most."
"I'll miss you too honey. Now go."

Kaylee fell asleep with her head against the window, tears still running down her cheeks. She woke again when they stopped somewhere. She didn't know and didn't care where they were. She just wanted to go home. Thinking about home made her begin crying again, and she buried her head in her hands.
At the next stop, a lady came and sat down next to Kaylee. She took one look at the weeping child sitting there, and immediately placed an arm around Kaylee. Even though she knew she probably shouldn't, Kaylee turned to the woman and began crying into the ladies shoulder. The lady just sat there with her arms around Kaylee for the rest of the trip.
When the train pulled into Melbourne, the lady gently awoke Kaylee, who had fallen asleep again about half an hour before. Looking down at her face, the lady saw how tear streaked her eyes were, and gently wiped the last of the tears away.
"Thank you," whispered Kaylee.
"That's alright dear. I'm sorry to have woken you, but we're here."
"That's ok. I shouldn't have fallen asleep on you. I'm sorry to have disturbed you so much."
"It was nothing dearie. You looked so lost and sad that I felt compelled to comfort you."
"Well thank you, but I have to go catch a plane now. What was your name sorry?"
"Tabitha Donnold."
"Thank you Mrs. Donnold. My name's. Elise. Elise Smith."
"It was my pleasure Miss Smith. Now you had better go catch your plane and I had better find my son and my granddaughter. Good bye."
Kaylee watched Mrs. Donnold walked over to a young man, and a small girl. She watched as the small child climbed all over her grandmother, and silently wished that she was that small child.

Well there you have it. Four chapters in one day if dad will bring the net up. Even if he doesn't it still means that I have written four chapters in one day which I do believe is a miracle for me. And for those who might mot have gotten it ^^^^ meant a flashback. I suppose I should have said that earlier though. Anyway, please review for me or else I won't know what you think of it and whether I should keep writing it.
