INSIDE TERMINAL CITY
The rescue team finally returned after hours of being gone. They could all feel the tension that was in the air of the city.
Alec led the group through the city's streets and toward the city's main building. Just before they reached the door, he told the person with the sample of blood to go run some tests on it to see what the results would bring.
"Go get the blood tested as quickly as you can, Brin. We need to know if it's hers before we start jumping into any conclusions. For all we know, she could just be missing and all that blood could be someone else's even all that we heard, saw, and knew happened tells us otherwise. We need something some confirmation one way or another," Alec said solemnly.
She just nodded and started to leave, but Alec stopped her for a second.
"Oh, um, Brin? Did you radio in back here about what we think might have happened to Max?" he asked her.
"No," she replied.
"Good," he said. "Now go do the tests and report back to me directly afterwards."
She nodded again and left.
Alec then turned to everyone else in the group and asked, "Did any of you radio back here with any information about what we think happened?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Good, this is what we're going to do. Tell no one that Max's dead because don't know whether that's true or not. Just say that she's missing for now. We need to wait for Brin to return with the tests before we can do anything else. We can't get everyone all riled up," he explained.
Everyone nodded understandingly.
"Does it really matter what we tell them? They're going to be riled up anyway," a dark haired and dark eyed transgenic asked softly.
"Just don't tell them that she's dead, Krit. Missing is a whole lot better than dead," was Alec's reply.
"Yeah, but I can't lie to them Alec. Especially to my family. I can tell everyone else that, but you know how our family is, they'll see right through me. Especially Syl and Zack. I was never good at lying to them."
"I never said to lie to them. I just said to not tell them that Max could be dead and that she's just missing which can just as well be it. We don't know for sure," Alec answered. Then he spoke out to everyone, "Okay, I'll just make this a little bit easier for everyone to handle okay? I'll tell everyone that she's missing so none of you will have to deal with that. All you have to do is keep your mouths shut about the situation and tell anyone who questions you that you cannot give out any information about what happened at this time. How's that?"
"Not going to work, Alec. They'll get suspicious if we say that. They'll know that we're hiding something," a transgenic called Gem said.
"Okay, okay! How about we just go with the story that she's missing. That could just be what it is. Just tell them that if they ask. You can tell them your side of the story but leave out anything that will lead them to think that she has been killed. This way none of you have to lie about anything and are just leaving some things out, which isn't lying, and it will be believable because none of us would be lying and didn't make anything up. Now will this work?" Alec said in frustration.
They all nodded.
They then continued toward the building and entered it. They saw that most of the other transgenics had already gathered into the building waiting for the return of the team for news of what had happened and the return of Max. Seconds after they had entered, all eyes were immediately on them and the televisions that were in there were muted. Everyone was staring at them questioningly.
Just then from nearby, a doggish looking transgenic, a blond woman, and a man with copper hair stood up from where they were sitting and approached Alec, Krit, Gem, and the other transgenics that had just entered the building. Others around them stood up also. Everyone else remained seated and just watched with keen eyes.
All was silent for a moment. It was as if everyone in the building knew what had happened. They all wore grave expressions and no one spoke. It was as if they were afraid of the news that the rescue team was going to bring.
Then after a while of the tense silence, the puppy-faced transgenic finally broke it and asked the question that was in all of their minds.
"Alec," he asked with a sad look on his face, "what happened to Little Fella? Something happened to her didn't it?"
Alec looked down to the ground and sighed. He then looked back up and looked at the other transgenic in the eye.
He answered his friend's question softly, "Something did happen to Max, Joshua."
Alec then turns away from Joshua and raised his voice so that everyone in the room could hear him.
"Listen up everyone," he said. "You all are most likely wondering about what just happened outside this city today and now about Max because as you can see, she's not here right now."
He paused and looked around. A murmur had broken through the crowd.
He then continued by saying, "Well, all I can tell you is from our point of view of what happened for we were only there for the search and help of them. If you want to know what actually happened when they were attacked, you'll have to wait for them to tell you. As you all know, earlier today Max, Zack, and Little Emi were attacked by a group of crazy people who are totally against our kind. You all know that those people meant to kill them just because they are transgenics judging by the way Zack returned. We found him first being attacked by around 10 of those humans so we helped him out and knocked them all unconscious. By that time though, he had suffered many injuries along with a couple of bullet wounds, which were enough to make him lose consciousness, after all of the enemies in sight were taken out. By the way, where is he and how's he doing at the moment?"
"He's still unconscious in the infirmary. Emi's there with him and Jondy's making sure they're all right," answered the copper-haired man.
"Thanks, Zane," Alec said with a nod towards him. "Now where was I?"
"Can you stop goofing off now and tell us what happened? It's no time to pretend that you forgot what you were saying. Be serious already!" cried the blond woman.
Alec rolled his eyes and said, "I am being serious, Syl! I really did forget where I was! Uh, that wasn't a very good thing to say about myself huh?"
Syl sighed, "No, but will you please go on now?"
"Fine, fine, fine, I will. Now lets see... Okay, after we found Zack and some of us took him back here, the rest of us continued our search and found Emi not far away and brought her back here. Then we continued to search for Max. The thing is though, we thought we heard her a distance off, but we couldn't find her anywhere. We searched and searched, but we still couldn't find her and we've covered a lot of ground too over and over again, so we came back here. All I can say right now is that we think that she could be missing..."
Just then the door opened behind him.
Brin came quickly to him and said in a low voice, "I need to talk to you."
Alec nodded and said to everyone else, "Now will you please excuse me. I need to leave for a moment, but what I just told you all is just about it about what we know."
With that he left the building with Brin.
They walked quickly back to where they had discussed their plans of what to say to everyone so they wouldn't be overheard by any transgenic. They then stopped and Alec asked with a masked expression, "What are the results of the blood test."
Brin answered without looking at him, "It's hers Alec."
He sighed as he heard what she had to say. He had hoped that their thoughts had been a mistake and that the blood that they had found on the ground hadn't been hers.
Alec then looked at Brin again. He had heard the strained sound in her voice as she told him that. He knew that she was trying to hold back her emotions. He put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Brin, look at me."
She just shook her head.
"Brin, look at me," he said as he lifted her head up so he was able to see her eyes. They looked as if they were trying to hold back tears and that she was fighting with herself to stay strong.
"Look Brin, just because the blood is hers doesn't mean that she's... you know. It doesn't mean that. There's still a chance that she still out there somewhere. Her body wasn't found anywhere near the blood."
"How do you know that she isn't though?" she asked him with tears in her eye.
"I don't. I just hope that everything will be all right," he answered and with that, he pulled her into a comforting hug. "She could still be alive Brin."
Just then, they heard a Krit calling out their names with a note of panic in it.
"Brin! Alec! Where are you?"
They stepped away from each other and Brin wiped her eyes.
"We're over here Krit!" she answered as they headed towards him.
Within seconds the met up with him. Before they even had a chance to question him, he said frantically, "You've got to get back to headquarters now!"
"What happened? Did you guys tell everyone that Max's dead?" Alec asked as they ran back.
"We didn't tell them anything like that! But they know now!"
"How?"
"The news! It's on the news! Max is dead!"
