CHAPTER 9 ( MOTHERING

"Who are you?" Max and Alec said in unison.

"I'm..I'm.I'm your mother." She finally said.

Alec frowned, "What?" then he remembered Sandoval's words. 'She donated eggs, to create a new series of soldiers. I believe it was for your series.'

"What the hell is going on?" Max yelled.

"I'll tell you what's going on, Sandoval sent us to kill my mother! That's what's going on." Alec told her.

"You actually think she's your real mother? She could be a plant." Max said.

"Oh, believe me I'm not a plant. Sandoval sent you to kill me?" she asked in disbelief. "I can't believe this, he was such a nice man."

"Yeah, well he's not anymore and as far as I'm concerned he never was." Alec told her.

"Let's go to the living room." The woman suggested.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

There were two sofa's in the living room facing each other. Max and Alec sat on one, and the woman and older man sat on the other side.

"I'm sorry." Alec apologized to the man he almost chocked to death earlier.

"That's alright. You've got quite a grip there." The older man chuckled.

"Of course he does Harry. He was built that way. I'm Julia by the way." The woman told them.

"Could you start by telling us about how you know Alec is your son?" Max said, getting right down to business.

"Well, after the program was completed they didn't need us girls anymore. So they let us go. At the time we didn't even know what this was, all's they told us is for some research." Max and Alec nodded for her to continue.

"The other women that were in the program with me didn't really care, but I dug deeper and found out what this was all about. Well I was just shocked when I found out they were actually going to make superior humans there." She paused for a moment.

"I felt so bad. But there was nothing I could do, the government supported this, and hid it from the public. But I just couldn't let go, knowing there was apart of me in that awful place." The woman almost started to cry again.

"l later found out X5-4, Alec was my son, and I was actually trying to find a way for you to escape. I guess that's how they found out, and sent you two to kill me."
