Double crossing Liar (Chapter 6)
N/A: OK SO HERE IT IS, PLEASE READ IT, AND TELL ME IF YOU LIKE IT. I MAY ALSO POST ANOTHER CHAPTER 6, WHICH WILL BE ANOTHER ONE OF MY IDEAS. TELL ME WHICH IS BEST AND I WILL KEEP ONE OF THEM.
I walk in and see the back of a tall, well built blonde guy in the corner of the room . I look around, the house was small yet, cozy, but was missing something…..home. It did not look like a home. It looked like a house. Then I realize that Logan was only here to find me and the house was probably a rented one. Logan looks at me and gestures me to sit down. And I do.
"Max, I want you to meet….Zack!" I immediately get up and turn to the guy in the corner. My mind was running, 'I thought Logan said he did not know where Zack was or what he looked like'. What the hell is going on? Is he the same Zack? And why the hell won't he turn around!
"OK. What the hell is going on?" Just then he turned around. He was… well…cute. But the look in his eyes were dead. Like there was no hope or no reason in living. He looked at me, and looked back at Logan.
"This her?. She doesn't look like what I pictured her to be" I gave him a ' you'd better watch your mouth, boy' look. And turned back to Logan and asked
"Logan, are you going to tell me what's going on?, or do I have to stand here and get dissed by some jacked up moron?"
" I' m sorry Max, this is Zack, Yes the same Zack I was talking about this afternoon."
"I thought you said that you did not know anything about him." I was confused, not to mention pissed off, as soon as I start trusting Logan, He pulls something like this. Typical Male. Just then Zack spoke.
" Well, you'd better take some of her blood, so we can find out if she is the real thing.". What the hell???
" EXCUSE YOU! But didn't your momma ever tell you, it was rude to ignore people when they are standing right in front of your face." Who the hell did he think was? He wasn't even talking to me, its like I wasn't even there. "Genetically engineered or not, I am still going to kick your ass!" He suddenly turned and faced me.
" Logan, what the hell? I told you not to say anything? Great, just Great! Now what if she isn't the real thing? What are we going to do then? What part of 'get her blood, don't say ANY thing about Manticore' did you NOT comprehend?. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck"
"Zack, calm down. Listen to me, she IS the one. I know it. She does not even realize it but she sensed me along time before, I went up to her. And the only way how she could have done it was if she had genetically engineered senses. Trust me, as soon as she takes the test it will turn up positive." I turned back and looked at Logan. He KNEW all along that I was one of them, and then he tells me stuff about this Zack guy, and lies to me about not knowing where he was or what he looked like.
" You, Double crossing bastard!" Both Logan and Zack turned to look at me, wondering who I was speaking to. I stared Logan in the eyes. " What ARE you playing at, Logan?"
" Max , Zack , Listen to me. Max the first time you met me, the very first time you saw me. Where were you?" .I was taken back, what the hell is he changing the subject for?.
" Um.. I don't know, Probably when I was walking to school or something. Why?"
"That's it. The first time you remember me, I was hiding from you, and keeping my distance, but somehow you knew I was following you. You sensed it. The first time we actually met was at your shop. Last week. But you knew I was following you, for what three, four weeks?. And there is no way a nor….standard person would have sensed it, let alone know it." Zack turns and looks at Logan, and gives him a dirty look.
" Oh, now I get! Your all knowing and magnificent Logan, right? Are we supposed to go with your hunch?. Get real Logan. You'd better pray SHE is the real thing!" Just who the hell did this guy think he was? He is standing there going all commander over Logan, What a Jackass.
"OK, Whatever, can we just take the test and get it over and done with, already.?" Logan turns to me and walks over, tells me to sit down and gets a small bag. He sits opposite me.
" OK, can you roll up your sleeve?, I will take a small amount of blood, it won't hurt, don't worry!" Followed with a big smile. I smile back.
" So, the needle and everything, is clean right?." I know there is a bigger issue here to address, but I still did not want to take a chance.
" Everything is new. I bought it this afternoon, after we talked. So there is nothing to worry about." With that he inserted the small needle into me, and pulled on the syringe. A bright red fluid filled the syringe, and then the extracted the needle. He went over to the table where a microscope was set up, and got some of the blood and smeared it on to a slide, and slid it under the microscope. He then got up and went over to Zack and did the same.
" So Logan, you still never told me why you lied to me when I asked you whether you knew anything about ……Him". Zack looks up at me, and I just look back at him.
" Well, you see. A couple of years ago, one of my informants told me something about government experiments on babies, but I only found sketchy details. Until of course, I hear about one of them escaping that's when things started to come together for me, I got the names of some of the X5, so when I traced them down, to get information. They were gone." He returns back to the microscope and looks at Zack blood. " That's only because Zack, traced them down, and warned them. However, soon Zack realizes that I too, was looking for them, and thinking that I was one of Lydecker's men. Tries to kill me" He looks up at me and smiles and then looks back down and resumes testing the blood " But for some luck, I tell him, that I can help him track down the missing X5 he has not got to, but he tells me that he has been to everyone, so that's when I tell him about you and the whole mix up. So then I track you down here, and then we had to see if it was really you, but the only way to do this was to get some of your blood, however, you can't exactly walk up to a strange and ask them for blood so I was supposed to get to know you and then get your blood, but you know how that plan backfired, and here we are now. Well, you can stop worrying now, Her blood matches yours." There was a sigh of relief coming from Zack, I wondered what he would have done to me if I did not match it. Would he have killed me for knowing the truth?. Then suddenly it dawned on me. I was genetically engineered, all this time there was a chance of me not being one, but now there was no doubt, no maybes' I WAS one of them. Logan realizing what a shock this was to me, spoke
"Max, you OK?." I looked at him, there was a look of concern in his eyes.
" I'm fine, its just, well.. dawned on me. I mean I am not who I thought I was. So what does this mean, will I wake up tomorrow and find that I have acquired a third eye or something" Finally Zack spoke
" No, nothing that exaggerated. You will have cat vision, something like night vision, only better, you will be faster, quicker, your reaction time will be much high than a normal human. It's the DNA, you see there is feline DNA in us, among others. It's the secret of making the perfect 'Genetically enhanced killing machine"
