Forgotten But Never Forgiven
Chapter Five
" How" Krit managed to grind out through chattering teeth, looking up at Zack like the long lost brother he was. Zack had taken one look at the fallen X5 and turned and hurried to the lounge room where, hidden in a hollowed out book in his bookcase, Zack kept his supply of tryptophan. Hurrying back through to the kitchen, he knelt down beside Krit, an extremely worried expression pasted on his stone like face.
"How long had you been holding them off for?" Zack murmured, referring to Krits seizures he figured by hos bad they were that he had had to fight them for quite a while as he watched Krit down a handful, wincing. Too caught up in controlling his shaking body, Krit leaned his head back against the cupboard door, continually keeping an eye on His older brother crouched beside him, and waited for the seizures to subside.
****************************
"This time we almost figured you were dead"
!5 mins later, Krits seizures had eased and he was now staring at Zack with the typical expression of someone who was looking at a ghost showing clearly on his face. Zack looked down at his hands, a sad smile full of hidden emotion playing across his lips. "Yeh well, this time I thought you really had gone crazy when you started apologizing for kicking my door down" Zack replied, his weak attempt at lightening the mood completely lost on Krit who now started frowning. "Zack I just came from trying to find Zane" he started, immediately gaining Zacks full attention. " I finally found the apartment he had been living in last" Krit paused, sighing deeply, "it was completely trashed. By the looks of it something major went down there." He paused again, looking directly at Zack " I think Manticore got him".
Zack sat back slowly running a hand through his already tousled blonde hair. He had thought as much. " I remember before we attacked Manticore that they were almost closing in on both Johndy and Zane" He said. "There were a couple of close calls but in the end I thought we had lost them". Zack shook his head, lost in the newer memories of his younger sister and brother, and the images his mind conjured up of them now back at Manticore. Krit sat, gazing at his brother, even through the fog that still clouded his mind from the seizures, he recognized the tired look about him. This wasn't unusual for Zack, for he had often looked something like this after being on the go for months on end. 'But this was different' Krit mused, noting the slumped shoulders and bowed heard, Zack was not only exhausted but he was also haunted. 'Stressed to the max' Krit thought.
"What happened to you Zack?" Krit asked soflty, placing a hand on Zacks shoulder, causing Zack to jump in surprise.
"Nothing important" Zack stated, standing up and beginning to pace the room, shrugging Krits hand off as he stood. " Im back, and now we need to focus on finding the others"
Nodding, Krit agreed," That's pretty much what Syl and I had begun to do over the last couple of months. While I went to find Zane, Syl went up and visited Kai" He watched Zack steadily as he turned and made another lap of the room, processing the information at the same time. Zack frowned as a fresh memory assaulted him, Images of a young boy, dressed as they all were back at Manticore, with Red shaved hair and that hollowed soldier expression flashed though his mind. Zack remembered feeling proud of Kai, him being the second oldest male, and also because so far he hade made the perfect soldier. Ruthless, seemingly uncaring, but extremely loyal to the team and the mission at the same time. He remembered being very proud of the fact that Kai was the first to master his feelings, to appear indifferent to emotion and feelings, and able to concentrate solely on the mission at hand. Shaking the memory away Zack sat back down, his eyes still hooded with that far away look. " I remember Kai and Syl were paired up when we escaped, Syl is really the only one of us that he ever really speaks to now" Glancing up at Krit " And obviously you and Syl are still close" He added raising an eyebrow in his brothers direction.
Nodding, Krit got right back to the point, bringing Zacks thought of his siblings back to the task at hand. " While I was looking around Zanes place I found a note that Tess had written with her new address and number. So that's one more sister we can get in touch with".
" He had her address written down?" Zack asked, an alarm bell starting to ring in his head.
" Though I don't think there was much chance of them seeing the note when they raided Zanes place" Krit answered, reading the worried look on Zacks face.
" Whys that?"
"It was under the fridge" Krit said grimly. Images of the state of Zanes apartment running through his head. He had checked the whole place. There had been bullet holes etched into almost every wall, some from what he knew was Zanes gun, and a lot from others, and there had been blood.
"How did you find it?" Zacks slightly edgy question making him wince.
" By picking the knocked over piece of crap off the floor" Krit answered. The image of the destruction enough for Zack to not ask anymore questions..
Authors Note: Im sooo sorry for not updating for so long guys! I didn't mean to leave you in the lurch like that! :O) - My computer and I had an argument and then he went and refused to work so I had to send 'im to the shop for some counseling!
Anyways, Thank you to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday! I felt very Spesh!
Also, Sorry Alexandra Bruderlin But I ended up making it a Z/M thang. But who knows, im thinking that theres still going to be some very juicy Zack and Johndy scenes as well.
Thanks ACB for clearing up my questions. That stumped me for so long. I had the biggest mental blank and couldn't figure it out. TA for helping!!!
P.S - Syl and new character Kai introduced in next chapter.. :O)
