Keemew2: YEAH! Spring break is here! To bad it lasts only 1 week. Oh, well. Can you believe I've reached 7 chapters? Wow. It's getting pretty far in chapters, but the plot is pretty much stuck. Oh, dear. I'll have to figure something out.

Ch. 7: What defines a prison?
G
Jamie walked in a slight daze. The fog that was clouding his mind decided to interfere once more. At least this time he wasn't dizzy. He just felt weak, and alone. Detached. The next thing he knew he was pushed threw a door into total darkness. Someone, most likely Shasta, bumped into him and grunted.
"See ya kiddies." One of the soldiers jeered, "Hope you have fun. And don't worry, I don't think the boogie man is out yet."
"For your information, I am not a 'kiddy' and I think you're the one who needs to worry about the boogieman. So why don't you go run along and grab your blanky? I'm so sure Teddy is waiting for you in your cradle. Oh, yes, don't forget yur wittle baba."
"Why you…"
"Don't touch her!" Some one snapped. "Marker doesn't want her injured. Let's go." The little bit of light that Jamie could see threw the fog vanished to leave total darkness. Didn't matter much. It wasn't like he could see anyway.
"Guess that was a little too much. Maybe I shouldn't harass them so much." Shasta muttered, "You okay?" She asked from somewhere in the room. 'To my left. I think.'
"Yeah, why?" He replied meekly
"What was with those spells you kept having in Jerkface's room?" She asked quietly. Jamie thought about that for a minute. Then shrugged.
"I have no idea."
"None?" Her tone was curious
"Not really." Only that for some reason, I feel detached from everything. The worst part is, I feel alone. I don't sense the Wild Eagles presence. That's the most bothersome part. I couldn't tell what was going on after the Wild eagle took control. Everything is so hard to…
"Weird. Sooo, what do you think of our knew room?" Jamie wasn't sure how to answer that exactly.
"Why do you want to know that?
"No reason. Just thought it might be nice to talk. You have no idea how boring life can be. Right now isn't so bad, but it can get a lot worse."
"Uh, yeah."
"Don't worry, it won't bother me if you think I'm weird. Or crazy. Or stupid. Or what ever." She seemed to sound a little depressed.
"What's wrong?" Jamie didn't like it when people sounded depressed. His mother sounded the same way before…he didn't want to think about it right now.
"Nothing really. I just…"
"Just what?"
"Nothing. Never mind." She was silent for awhile. You ever hear of an Organoid?" She asked suddenly
"Sort of, why?"
"Just wondering. They haven't been seen in years. Even then, there were only two or three that were actually seen. They are one of the true mysteries of Zi. Them and the ruins of the ancient Zoidians."
"I know. I remember reading about it in the history books."
"What else d those so called history books say about the past?" She asked. Her voice sounded amused at the thought of the history books.
"Nothing really. It doesn't have a whole lot of information."
"Course not. They don't know anything. Nothing at all. Heck if it weren't for Dr. D, my grandfather wouldn't know what he knows now. "No one, not even my grandfather knows what really happened."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, well, gramp's said that the Organoids had disappeared all together before he was born."
"Do you know who built the Organoids?"
"No. The original creators are still a mystery. Some people actually say that Organoids can be born. My grandfather was on of them. Don't ask. I have no idea what he meant. Or how it could happen. HE may have told me just about all he knows, but not even he knew everything."
"This is a lot to take in."
"Confused?"
"Usually I wouldn't be, but for some reason I can't concentrate to well."
"Really? Come here."
"What?" A small light came on to his left. He saw her smiling face beaming, then it dissapeard as she moved the tiny light. It wavered a little till she came to his face.
"Over here." She said. He crawled over to were she was.
"A light?"
I had it hidden. I don't recommend asking me were." She groped for his arm and pulled him closer. Then she shined the light in his eyes.
"Hey!"
"Hold still ding bat. Consider me a doctor." He stopped moving and let her do what she was doing, "Huh. It looks like the effects of the drug are still at work. Your eyes are slightly glazed and dilated. Weird. You must be having a bad reaction to them. I hope that isn't bad."
"Yeah, well, I really hope it isn't."
"Maybe if you got some rest." She murmured thoughtfully, "Try it."
Sure, why not." He muttered. He lay down and closed his eyes. I really don't have anything else to do. I'm so tiered, but why? Sleep sounds very good…I guess. Jamie opened his eyes a little. His vision was so bad he couldn't see his hand in front of his face in the darkness. Heck! He couldn't see it if he put up to cover his eyes! As he put his hand down, he felt weaker. That was probably bad. But I can't help it. Sleep…
And darkness set in.
Williams walked through the hall in a slight hurry. He stopped at a door and looked around. Seeing no one around, he tested the door knob. It was locked. He quickly picked the lock and opened it up and he walked in. He closed the door and locked it up again. He walked over to a file case and opened that up. He skimmed the first couple files to get a good look at the filling system, then closed it. Judging where the file he wanted was. He opened the fourth drawer and flipped through the files. He stopped at one labeled Ultimate-X prototype. Taking it out partially he opened it. He saw a fox like Zoid labeled Shadow Fox. He took a small camera out of his pocket and snapped a shot of the document, doing the same to the rest of the papers. Setting that back in, he skimmed a little further. He saw another file labeled Ultimate-X: varying projects. He took that out and looked at the first page. It had a picture of Shasta's Zoid on it labeled X-Seeker. He set that back in and looked some more. HE found a picture of the Berserk Fury, and Lyger Zero. One had exclusive info on the Berserk Fury and Vega, while the other had partial info on Lyger and Bit Cloud. Just then, he heard voices outside the door and the door knob rattled. He put the file back and closed the drawer. He scanned the room and saw a desk kitty cornered on the other side of the room. He ran to it and hid there, praying they didn't want to come that way. The door opened to reveal Marker himself.
"Have you been keeping an eye on Williams like I said?" He asked the soldiers next to him
"Yes sir I have." She replied, "I just left him in his room. He said he was taking a nap sir."
Those people aren't the only ones treated like prisoners around here. Williams thought I'm stuck with some one watching my every move. A baby-sitter. Then again, they have a right too.
"Good. I don't trust him. He's too friendly. Soldiers aren't supposed to be friendly."
"Yes sir." They walked over to the drawer and opened the fourth one. He pulled out a file and put something in it. Putting it back, he closed it. "Did you put Pierce in my office like I asked?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. I wonder if she'll tell me where Stoller is, if I told her, her sister gave me most of the information I wanted. After all, why would I want her after I had gotten my information? Of course, I wouldn't hurt her. Too bad. I still need that brat."
"Not to interrupt, sir, but one question. If it's alright that is."
"GO ahead." They stopped walking at the door, curiosity covering his face.
"No offence sir, but how do you know she isn't lying."
"Se wouldn't, not after the threat I gave her."
"Truthfully sir, you wouldn't even know."
"Good point. Thank you Treisa. Looks like I need another discussion with that brat. Meanwhile, have you set up for the next kidnapping?" They closed the door and Williams popped out. He walked over to the drawer and pulled out the file he was looking at. There were more papers in it. He looked at the last couple. A picture labeled Jamie Hemeros was labeled on it. Under that was "Pilot of: Reynos and X-Seeker. Then he noticed something else he hadn't noticed before. A mark he hadn't noticed. A mark he had seen somewhere before. He took the whole file out and stuck it in his Jacket. He walked over to the door and carefully looked out. No one was around. He locked the door and left.
Keemew2: Okay. So I didn't have Shasta mention she was lying yet. But I got to thinking. If my cell mate had a truth serum on him, I wouldn't say anything either. So there. Oh, and, also, I won't be getting the next chaps out as soon as usual. I got thing to do still. It may be spring break, but I got a lot to d in the story department. Well, bye for now.
