Three weeks had past Alex had been back to work for five day now. He was in Captain Logan's office. Logan looked down at the papers before him seeing how well Alex had been doing this week. Logan looked up looking at Alex. "Your reports are very good Alex. I don't see why not," he pulled out a card key giving it to Alex. He smiled, "Welcome back, you are on full duty," said Logan. Alex got up from his seat at Logan stood up.
"Thank you, sir," he said shaking his hand. With that Alex walked out smiling to himself. "Ejective one done," Alex said to himself.
Dash was in the bathroom washing his face when two mutants approached him. "Hello Dash," said one of them. Dash turned around now faced with two mutant in front of him. Dash slowly back against the wall. He gulped to himself he was in trouble.
Jen was in the prison training room when she was approached by Steelix. "Hello Jen," said Steelix sternly. Jen looked at Steelix, looking around she was on her own. The prison guards were no where in sight. Steelix laughed, "No one is around to protect you this time. It's just you and me," said Steelix laughing. Jen looked at him sternly.
"I don't need anyone, I can take care of myself," said Jen, Steelix went at her throwing in punches and hard kicks. Jen blocked as many as she could, and tossed in her own punches and kicks.
Lucas who just got on guard duty walked into the men's prison restroom making sure everyone was out and had headed back to their cells. He checked all of the stales one by one, he then came upon the last one, and he slowly opened. Dash was badly beaten, was lying down on the ground, his right eye was all swollen and his noses was bleeding. Lucas dropped to his knees shacking Dash making sure he was alright.
"Dash, Dash," yelled Lucas shacking him. Slowly Dash opened his eyes looking at Lucas.
"Jen," is all he manages to say, Lucas eyes grew with free. He jumped to his feet, grabbed his radio from his belt running down the hall.
"Code red, prisoner down in the restroom I repeat prisoner down in the restroom," yelled Lucas as he ran to the prison training room. He about froze at what he saw three mutants were gaining up on Jen, Steelix being the leader of the group. Lucas pulled his weapon out, pointing it right at them.
"That's enough!" he yelled, the mutants backed away from Jen who was lying on the ground. Lucas still held his blaster out at the mutants he walked over to Jen, and knelt down by her. She was bruised up, but otherwise okay Lucas knew she wouldn't go down without a fight. "You okay?" he asked her.
"Yeah," she said softly.
About half an hour later Lucas came bursting into Logan's office. "Lucas I assume I know what this is about," said Logan taking a seat. Lucas looked at his captain angrily.
"They could of killed both of them sir, Dash is lucky he's able to move around. And Jen should have more..." he was cut off.
"More what protection, Mr. Kendall just because she was one of ours does not mean she gets special treatment," said Logan.
"That's not the point sir, when Jen was attacked none of the prison guards were paying attention or did anything to stop it," yelled Lucas.
"Do not use that tone of voice in here or with me," said Logan, Lucas just shook his head.
"Or what you'll fire me," said Lucas childishly.
"That could be arranged if you don't lose that attitude, dismissed," said Logan.
"Yeah, well I'll dismiss you," said Lucas softly as he walked out.
"What was that, Mr. Kendall," asked Logan who had over heard what he had said. Lucas didn't even turn around to face him.
"Nothing," he muttered.
Alex and the others had gone out to dinner together. Alex was staring at Katie is out burst. "What, why didn't you tell me sooner!" he yelled softly trying not to disturb the other customers.
"Because, I knew that this would be you reaction," said Katie. Alex got up on his seat.
"Yeah, well I going to talk to Logan about this manner," he said sternly. Lucas crossed his arms.
"Don't even bother," muttered Lucas, everyone looked right at Lucas. Alex had sat back down wondering why Lucas would say such a thing.
"What are you talking about, have you already talked to him?" asked Trip.
"Oh yeah I talked to him," said Lucas.
"Well what he say," asked Alex.
"Pretty much if I continued on the topic with him, I would be fired," said Lucas.
"I told you one of these days your mouth was going to get you into trouble," said Katie, Lucas looked at Katie just nodding it off.
"So what do we do now, Captain Logan will never go soft of Jen. In his mind she commented a worse crime then most of the mutants in the state prison," said Trip. Alex laid back into his chair.
"I'm not sure, but one thing is for sure Jen wont last much longer in that place. No matter how strong she is, if they continue to gang up on her like they did today. Anything can happen," said Alex softly. Everyone was looking at him knowing he was right.
