I'd just like to thank crazy, Mrs. Ackles and whoever "culdnt b arsed 2
login" is for giving me the kick in the ass that I needed to continue with
this story. I am so sorry I havent updated this but I have to admit that I
forgot about it, I was too busy with my other one. Hope you forgive me! (
This is a short chap but I just didn't wanna make you guys wait any longer.
.................................. Otto took a deep breath as he came out of the interrogation room. He had seen the look in his superior's eyes and knew that what Eyes Only had said was true. His thoughts drifted back to his father. His father had been a cleaner at Manticore and had known what the transgenics were like first hand. He remembered his father telling him that he felt sorry for the kids, that they aren't getting a real childhood. He had always felt sympathy for them but when his father had been killed well...that had died away pretty quickly. He wanted his dad to be proud of him and he knew just what to do. He turned to the officer standing guard over White's room.
"Get me a van, I want the prisoner ready for transport in ten minutes," he said coldly.
"Yes, sir," the man replied and hurried away to comply.
Otto looked into the room White was in and his resolve hardened. He knew exactly what he needed to do.
.................................
"C'mon Jade.you said you'd tell me today," Alec whined, grabbing hold of her arm and looking down at her with puppy dog eyes. "You said so, you said today."
Jade rolled her eyes and childish transgenic. "I know I said today but I didn't say what we were gonna talk about now did I?"
"Well what else is there to talk about?" he pouted. Then he thought for a moment and said, "I know what we can talk about!" he said excitedly.
Jade grinned at his enthusiasm but the grin died on her lips at his announcement.
"You never told me who Sam was. Remember? You were playing that song on the piano and then you said that it was Sam's favorite but you wouldn't tell me who he was. Tell me now."
She looked around uncomfortably and he grinned to himself. He knew she didn't want to talk about what happened to her at Manticore but she also didn't want to talk about this. She was going to have to pick one and he didn't really mind which one she picked, so he wins both ways. He had always wondered who Sam was, he hoped that it was a chick but she hadn't said anything when he said 'he'. You're just jealous, a voice whispered in his head. I am not, he argued back. Are too, the voice said, that's why you remembered the guy for so long, cos SHE was thinking about HIM while she was playing, not YOU. Shut up, he said to the voice sulkily, he really didn't like that voice. It annoyed him.
She looked around her trying to find something that she could distract herself with but there was nothing. Damn it, she thought to herself, I really don't want to talk about anything today, I have too much to do. Then she looked up and said, "Alec can we talk later? I really need to go talk to my units about this. I fully messed up yesterday and I need to sort it out ok?"
He just stared at her, not saying a word, then he was in full whining mode again. "But you said we'd talk about it today, Ja-ade. Please...please..."
"Alec I said today but I never said WHEN today now did I?" she replied diplomatically, hiding a smirk.
He pouted, "Not fair." She giggled and kissed his protruding bottom lip.
"Later, OK?"
"You always say that," he sulked. She smiled and took his hand as they started walking towards HQ.
"You can help me sort this mess out alright?"
"Ok," he grumbled. They turned the corner and found themselves face to face with Max. She looked at them uncomfortably then took a deep breath.
"Can I talk to you guys for a moment please?" she asked.
"Not right now," Jade replied, "We're busy."
Alec looked at her in surprise, when she had said that she needed to sort things out he had thought that meant with Max but obviously not. She was still mad at Max, well you can understand why cant you? the voice asked. He sighed in resignation, they had only made a truce a few weeks ago and now this had messed it up again.
"We're gonna go talk to Jade's units now, maybe later ok Max?" he said kindly, taking in her appearance. She was disheveled and it looked like she had spent most of the night crying. She looked like she was gonna start again when Jade said she didn't want to talk to her. She nodded at Alec's response and then moved out of their way but that didn't stop her teary eyes from following them the rest of the way.
................................
They walked into the command center and immediately saw what had resulted from yesterday's fight. The group was split down the middle, Alec's units were on one side of the room and Jade's on the other. Max's siblings were sitting in the middle looking around self-consciously. When they walked in all the transgenics stood up and at attention, they both told them to stand down and the group waited for their orders. They didn't know what to do, they were loyal only to their own CO but even the soldiers in Alec's units didn't want to be under the command of niners and they had told them so too, which was probably why they were sitting in the middle doing nothing. Jade looked around for a while and then took Alec's hand in her own, seeking comfort. He squeezed it and gave her an encouraging smile. She cleared her throat and started.
"I know what happened yesterday probably confused the hell out of all of you but I'm gonna tell you straight up what's gonna happen now. I talked to Blake and Alec last night and we worked out that we will ALL be in this fight TOGETHER." She stopped when she heard some murmuring, it died down as she glared in the direction of the noise, "However we will not be under the command of Max's siblings, they will be a part of our own fighting units and therefore our fellow soldiers. That is if that's alright with them?" she looked at them slightly mockingly.
They took no offense at it and all nodded in reply, "We don't want to be in charge anyway," Jondy said quietly, "And we're sorry for all the trouble we caused." The others murmured their agreement.
Jade acknowledged their assent but she didn't smile back at the group. Just because she decided that she had to work with them for the good of all didn't mean that she had to be best friends with them overnight. They had work for trust and respect.
"Is that alright with all of you?" she asked the crowd. Her units shouted their approval and when Alec asked his units the answer was also unanimous. She gazed around in relief, she had dreaded that there would've been someone who disagreed but thankfully there wasn't.
"Well, you all have your orders so get to it," she barked and watched as the room slowly bustled to life. She turned to the rogues and said, "Go to Dix, he'll tell you what to do." She then turned to Alec and said, "I have to go and get Bubbles and Skye, I'll meet you later so we can talk alright?"
He kissed her in response and she walked off with a smile on her face. He turned back to the room and found a pair of ice blue eyes glaring at him. Logan, he thought to himself, what the hell is he doing in here? He was amazed that the guy was still alive after being caught up in a room full of hot-tempered transgenics but as he walked over there he realized why.
"God Logan! How much cologne are you wearing?!" he sputtered trying to waft the smell away from his nose.
"What?" the cyber journalist asked. "I'm not wearing that much, I can JUST smell it on me."
"Well maybe you've forgotten that you're in a room that doesn't have much ventilation and that's full of transgenics with superior nasal passages," Alec replied sarcastically. "Haven't you noticed that no one is like within 10 feet of you?"
"No.well I didn't notice," the guy blundered.
"Yeah that's right. I'm sorry you're probably used to it," he said cheekily and walked off the Dix. He turned around just in time to see the man open and close his mouth but to no avail. He just couldn't say anything, his voice had gone. Yeah well I would too, he thought to himself. Poor Logans voice, so near that nasty smell. Alec shook his head in sympathy and clapped Mole on the back. "So what's the agenda for today?" he asked.
Mole turned to him, his face serious. "We got another message," he said gruffly. "The guy says that he can give us White."
