The truth hurts (chapter 5)
"Ben, that's it Ben, no last name?, where he used to live?, his family?" I was getting frustrated, all I wanted to know was the truth, and all he gave me was a name.
"No wait, it wasn't Ben, I got it wrong, Ben was one of the ones that managed to escape. No the guy's name was um…something being with a …um .. Zack, That's it. Zack. Sorry there were so many names on the list I just got confused."
" Zack huh….. OK, Well this Zack guy, do you know anything about him? APART from his name."
"The only thing I managed to retrieve was a photo of the guy when he was really young. It was in the file. But that was years ago. So I imagine he has changed ." I was getting excited, I don't know why, but something inside of me told me to find him, because he knows, he can help me find out who I really am, or what. Anticipating this, Logan spoke
"Listen, before we go any further, I thought you should know. These effects that take place on your body, might be a bit weird. And well, if you want to find out the truth about yourself now, I know a way we can find out ." I looked at him, Hearing about what he thinks I am, is different from finding it out for real, I mean, what am I supposed to do, apart of me believes him, but another does not want to. And getting proof that what I am is not…natural, well that can ruin a girl's life. I made up my mind.
"OK, so how does this bitch work?" He was taken back by my comment I don't think he actually expected me to give him a reply right away.
"Well, all I need a sample of your blood. Then I will test it with the DNA results that I have from the other X5s and if it, resembles theirs by any means, well then, your one."
" That easy, huh?" A looked away from him, I had not even realized, but we had walked for miles and now two hours had gone by. I turned around and headed back the direction that we came from. He followed. The walk back was in silence, I was thinking about how my whole life would change, if the results said I were one of them. Would I be safe?, Could they find me?, What would they do to me if they did?. All this questions. And the only one with the exception of Logan, with the answers was Zack.
We reached my house, the walk back was much quicker, Logan did not say anything, I think he knew I needed the walk to clear my head. And it did.
" So, can we go somewhere to take this blood test?"
" Well, you can come over to my place this afternoon, and we can take it from there." He wrote his address down on a piece of paper and told me to come at two. I nodded and walked in the direction of my front door. The walked and turned the opposite way.
Since it was only ten when I reached home, after my walk with Logan, I found myself having enough time to think about the situation. I was going to go through with it. I looked at the address Logan gave me, and smiled. Two weeks ago if someone I only met once gave me their address and told me to met them, I would have not done it. But then again, this was Logan, and their was something about him that made me feel…safe. I mean the guy risked his life for me, the least I could do was show him that I trusted him.
At one, I left my house. I don't think my parents really worried about me, they knew I could look after myself, and if I am genitally engineered then I could really look after myself. I wonder what my parents would say if I told them?, how would they react? Would they have known all along?. Then this started to worry me, what if my so called family knew about me? Why did they do it? By the time I reached Logan's my mind was completely screwed.
" Hey, Max, come on in, I want you to meet someone"
N/A: OK, SO THIS IS WHERE I GET INTERACTIVE (AKA- WRITERS BLOCK, IF I CAN CALL MYSELF ONE!), I WANT TO KNOW WHO YOU THINK LOGAN WANTS MAX TO MEET! AND IF I THINK I CAN WORK WITH IT, I JUST MIGHT USE IT. (Zacklover here's your chance!) PLEASE BE REASONABLE. NO OUT THERE SMART ASS COMMENTS.
