CHAPTER 10 ( TAKING CHANCES
"What?" Both transgenics exclaimed.
"It's impossible to escape from Manticore." Max informed her.
"Yeah," Alec agreed with her. "They've got some tight ass security."
"But they trust you. Otherwise they wouldn't let you go on these missions." Julia offered.
"Yeah, they do." Alec looked at Max for a second and got worried.
"Excuse me." Max quickly said and blurred to the bathroom.
A minute later she joined everyone back in the living room.
"Are you ok, hun?" Julia stud up.
"Yeah, I just had to throw up, that's all." She said placing a hand on her stomach.
"I thought you didn't need to throw up any more." Alec told her.
"Yeah, me too." She leaned back on the couch.
"What's wrong?" The older woman asked.
"Nothing, she's just pregnant." Alec smiled.
"Oh huney, your awful young to have a baby." Julia showed concern.
"Well it's not my fault smart Aleck over there knocked me up!" she looked at Alec. And the woman started at them.
"Alec!" Julia exclaimed disappointedly.
"What? I was just following orders." He defended him self.
"I'm just kidding baby. I want to have this baby as much as you do." She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"Wait, you were following orders, so Manticore wanted you to have a baby?" Julia asked them.
"Yeah, they have a new system for creating a new generation of soldiers. Not by putting them together in a test-tube but more naturally. So they came up with the breeding program where they match up the most compatible DNA's to create a new series." Alec clarified.
"I guess that means I'm going to be a grandmother." She started to cry again, so Max stud up and hugged her.
"You should get out of here. Get new papers, and go some where far away from here. They already know you live in Boston, and they're probably going to find you here." Max informed her.
"I will, and as soon as I get everything fixed up, I'll call you."
"We better go." Alec whispered.
"Yeah." Max responded.
Julia and Harry walked them to the door.
"Please consider my offer. With the baby and all, you probably should escape." Julia told them.
Max and Alec looked at each other. "We'll consider it." Alec responded.
They hugged each other and said their goodbye's, now Max and Alec headed for their apartment.
On their way back, the silence in the car was making Max nervous. "What do you think about Julia?" she asked.
"I don't know she seems like a nice, sweet woman." He said keeping his eyes on the dark night road.
"Yeah, me too. Are you really going to consider escaping, or did you just say that to get her off our backs?"
"Both. It would be kinda nice living out here, but Manticore has been my home for so long I just can't imagine leaving it for good."
"She made a little too much sense." Max agreed.
"If we stay at Manticore, nothing happens. But if we escape successfully then we could live a pretty nice life out here, but if they find us, we'd go to reindocrination for the rest of our lives."
Max laughed at how true that statement is. ~*~*~*~*~
