"Yo Max, you ready?" Alec asked poking him handsome X5 face in Max's office. "I'll never be ready so I might as well go now," Max answered back looking through the papers on her desk. "Ok let's go"
With a sigh Max stuffed her stuff in a bag and hurried after Alec who was talking to Joshua telling him that they were going.
"So why do you need me when we go see good old Clemente? I mean you went to see him two times without anyone before. What makes now so special?" Alec asked joining her on their way outside. "The National Guard had said that they would not talk to me harmlessly without there being security guards. The best deal I could get out of them was that they had their guards I had you," Max answered showing no sign of expression. "Not saying I can't handle it myself or anything," she added with a smile.
"Maxie I'm hurt, you make me sound so useless and unwanted," Alec pouted his cute. smooth. adorable lips. "Well it's always best to have backup!"
As they reached the gate there was a black van waiting for the two transgenic passengers to enter safely. The guard's outside the fence kept both the people against transgenic and supporters of transgenic's outside the barracks.
Max and Alec entered the Van only to find an unexpected Logan in the front seat driving. "Log buddy, what's going on?" Alec asked confused.
"Clemente thought it was best to have an alley to dive you guys. Best to have someone you know then a member of the breeding cult who is looking to dive you into a river," Logan responded totally serious and professional. "All he had to do was pull some stings, yet the only person he could think of was me."
"Cool, so any news on the whole Breeding Cult Dealio?" Max asked laying her head on Alec hardly paying any attention to what she was doing from exhaustion.
"There's hasn't been any reaction, knowingly. They are petty damn good at keeping things a secret but there will probably be something big. Those runes are not on you for no reason. What ever they plan to do you have to be the one to stop it!" Logan replied keeping his eyes on the road ahead.
"Logan, is there something you're not telling me?" Max asked, the way he responded seemed like there was something that he was keeping from her.
But she didn't get an answer as the van came to a halt, "We're here,"
Slightly pissed Max got out of the Van only to have bump into a well-built Agent. "What the fuck?" Max mumbled backing up. "What's with that?" She asked the person in front of her.
"Sorry Ma'am we were ordered to cover you until you get in the building. We don't want anyone to attack someone so.. Important to the transgenics," the agent replied.
Alec chucked as he got out of his side of the door. "Hey! Where my protection?" "We were told only to watch the leader of Terminal City, I believe you are to be protecting her too, not just accompany her,"
"Right," Alec replied pretending to be disappointed as he walked over beside Max. When they walked into the building more agents, Otto and Clemente, immediately greeted them. "Max, I'm pleased you were able to make it! We have a lot to discus!" Clemente said as he led her into an office only having Otto and Alec Follow.
Inside was a desk with 2 chairs in front and one behind. All else that was there was a American flag in one corner and a plant in another. "Please sit down," Clemente insisted. Max and Alec took the offer and Otto stood at the door incase of an unwanted intruder.
"So what do we have?" Max asked trying to the important stuff.
"Well Max so far we have been able to keep the National Guard from going in and destroying Terminal City but that's all we could get so far. It seems that Senator McKinley is not to found of Transgenics. He's been digging into everything he can to destroy you lives. I'm guessing he has some kind of past with a Transgenic that was like Kelpy,"
"I don't think that's it," Otto interrupted from the door.
"And why is that?" Alec asked curiously.
"Well when Ames White was around he seemed to meet McKinley a lot and well, it's the last word that he would say to him that really got me confused," Otto answered thinking back to all the time he had seen White and McKinley together.
"Well maybe Ames was just getting his orders from him, you can't really be very sure when it comes to anyone now a days," Clemente shrugged not worrying about it.
"I don't think so I mean it seemed that when ever White talked to. a certain person he would say fe'nos tol, at least I think that is what they say," Alec suggested turning back to Otto. "Actually that is exactly what he would say," Otto confirmed.
"Shit," Max mumbled. "The Senator is a familiar, he's got many under his control. One wrong move could mean we are ALL dead, not just Transgenics!"
Clemente looked toward her. "But how would they take out the whole human race?"
"Not really sure but it's something that doesn't affect us because why go through all the trouble trying to kill us now then when they set out to kill the Ordinaries," Alec answered trying to think of something then out of no where.
"Snake blood," all heads turned to the female X5.
"Snake blood?" Alec asked rather confused about what was going on.
"Snake blood. When I got the cut from the snake blood I didn't get hurt at all but they said that many familiars and ordinaries have died by it, but I didn't. I'm guessing that all transgenics are immune. And they want to get rid of us because we are in their way,"
"Or maybe we have cure," Alec added.
