Part VII

Tuesday 24 September 1963

D Henry Phillip McCoy jumped out of the chair in his apartment when the phone rang. He rushed to the other side of the room where the phone was he picked up the receiver. "Hello, Hank McCoy speaking," he spoke calmly.

"Hello Dr McCoy, Charles Xavier calling," Charles introduced himself. "Tomorrow at 3 pm a car will come for you," he told Hank and then hung up. Hank became very excited; tomorrow he will meet his very first mutants.

He turned off the listening device and gave a sigh of disgust. Charles Xavier is either a very smart man or a very paranoid man. He did trust McCoy but doesn't trust Brand Corporation. He only had one opportunity left, if he wanted to know where that mutant school is and try to get a tracking device on McCoy.

Wednesday 25 September 1963

Dr Henry McCoy was finishing packing up all of clothing and other belongings. It was nearly 2:30 and Hank was beginning to panic, he had checked both the suitcase and apartment three times. A sudden knock on his door sent him almost into a blind panic; he grabbed his suitcase and rushed to the door. When he opened the door he was surprised to see his former superior from Brand Corporation, Professor Carl Maddicks at the door.

"Please come in Professor Maddicks," Hank said before he rushed to the couch to check his belongings for a fourth time to be sure.

"Dr McCoy," Maddicks greeted. "It's a pity that you are leaving Brand Corporation, you could have gone far."

"Thankyou for saying so, Professor," McCoy said humbly. "But I'm not ready for such a large commitment," McCoy stated. "I can always come back, can't I," Hank then added.

"Sure you can kid," Maddicks said with an obvious fake smile that Hank completely missed.

"Excuse me for a moment," Hank said before he rushed back into his bedroom.

"Okay kid." Maddicks waited for Hank to be out of sight, he then quickly hid the tracking device into Hank's suitcase. He then looked as though he was looking around the apartment.

Hank came out of the bedroom. "Sorry about that Professor," he said a little breathlessly.

"Not a problem," Maddicks said. "Since your busy I'll leave," Maddicks then waltzed out of the apartment.

When Maddicks left, Hank emptied his suitcase. Maddicks had been very nasty to him since he joined Brand Corporation. Last week when he told Maddicks that he was quitting He had said; "Good riddance." Hank soon found the tracking device.
