other characters, but that's it.
Chapter 3: The Drive
I talked with the man and he decided to help me. Not because he wanted to be nice, but
because he wanted to help out Adam. He didn't care about whether I even came along
with him on the 'mission.' 'Oh your gonna be glad I came' I thought to myself. 'Just
wait.' He didn't know about Mutant X or even mutants in general. 'What an excellent
surprise it'll be for him, when he's in trouble and I blast the guys with my own special
weapon.' I laughed almost evilly and prepared to meet General Kontsa at Port Aris. I
didn't really need to take anything with me, so it didn't take me long to get ready. "Please
don't rain." I begged aloud, hoping all would go well. I drove for a half- hour, as the sun
was just rising. I got incredibly tired on the drive there, which wasn't surprising, seeing
as I hadn't gotten any sleep the last night. But managed to stay awake, and somewhat
alert the whole way there. When I reached the port, the general was waiting. I stopped
about five feet away from him, and opened the door. I rubbed my eyes, as I stood to face
him. He was a tall man, probably in his early forties, with brownish grayish hair, and a
small goatee. "Hi." I said in a tired voice, almost a yawn. "Lets go." He commanded
sternly and motioned impatiently to his car. "Yes sir." I said sarcasticly, but not loud
enough for him to hear. He quickly climbed into the driver's seat and I slowly walked to
the opposing side. "Hurry up!" he yelled out the rolled down window. "I'm coming, I'm
coming." I barely managed to say. I sat in the passenger seat, and relaxed almost into a
sleep. Needless to say, there would be no resting on this 'mission' in front of him. "Wake
up!" he screamed in my ear. I pressed my palm against my left ear and stared at him
annoyed. "Stay alert." He started to calm down. "We are going to meet the rest of my
squad down the road a bit." I waited for him to say more, but he didn't. "And then?" I
asked him, calmly. "Must you know everything?!" he questioned, and I sighed deeply. I
decided not to speak for the rest of the ride, which I thought, would not be long. Again, I
was wrong. After driving for twenty minutes I worked up the nerve to talk. "Uh. where
are we going? I thought we were just going down the road." "What? You don't think I
know where I'm going?" he asked, but I ignored him. "We still are just down the road!
See the signs? They say 'Rankwood Avenue.' Am I wrong? Is that not what they say?"
"The signs don't talk." I replied smartly. I smiled when I saw the irratation on his face
and he warned me cruelly. "Don't you even think about talking smart with me kid." I
chuckled at his anger and smiled as I replied, "First off, I'm not a 'kid.' Second, too late."
I continued to smile as he looked at me discusted. "Your in for a serious beating the way
your acting." He threatened. "Ooooooo. Ahhhhhhh. I'm afraid. Help me! I think I'm
gonna die!" I laughed uncontrollably, half due to the situation, and half due to the lack of
sleep. He growled and replied oddly, "I could tear you apart." I continued to laugh even
harder, and said, "Just try!" He took a sharp turn into a parking lot by what looked like,
an abandoned storage facility. "Right here?" I asked him, confused but not at all afraid.
"No you idiot! We're meeting my squad here!" "Oh." I said and laughed to myself. I had
forgotten everything. The 'mission,' who the guy was sitting next to me, his 'squad,' the
whole deal. "How could I have forgotten?" I murmured and scratched my head in
thought. I shrugged and followed the general out of the car.
