1 Chapter 2
Blade had seen the perplexed look that had come into the chicks eyes, behind him, he felt Rowan and Keegan. They were all staring at the double of their fellow soldier Blade.
``Who the hell is it?`` asked Rowan, confused, she had fiery red hair and that's why they called her so, she had been Blade's girl ever since the escape. Seeing a double of him was just overwhelming, but Rowan could see a few differences, such as the hair and the laugh lines on the other guy.
Blade started walking slowly towards his double and the chick. Wolf, Slate, Keegan and Rowan weren't far behind. He saw his double and the chick take fighting stances and this proved his suspicion of them being from Manticore. Great, he thought, this is all I need. He stopped two feet in front of them. He first looked at the girl. She was hot and she looked like she had a fiery temper. Something in her eyes told him that she was about as confused as he was. He then slowly turned his gaze towards his double whom was looking at him with indifference.

Alec, positive that this was his twin brother, the psycho killer, sneered at the man in front of him. It was all his fault that he had spent 6 months in psy-ops. It was all his fault that he had had to relive all the shit this guy had done for ten years. ``Ben`` he sneered.
Blade was taken aback as his double looked at him with venom. Why? He had no idea. But then he said Ben. Blade frowned in confusion. Rowan and Wolf were at his side, Slate and Keegan behind him. Rowan looked at him. ``Blade?``
Before Alec had the chance to hit the guy, Max walk in front of him. ``Alec, it's not Ben.``
Alec looked at Max, well, he thought, if someone knew, it was her. But, hell, another one. Shit. He then looked back at his…other twin and raised an eyebrow. He then grinned, ``Hell, we must be some important for them to make three of us. To bad for them one of them is a psycho killer, the other a smartalek while the is well, I don't know.``
Blade was taken aback by the change in his doubles features as the chick told him he wasn't Ben, who was Ben? He wondered and frowned. This guy was a smart ass. He could just feel it.
``What's your designation?`` asked Max.
Blade looked at her, frowned and then told her. ``X5-495 ``
Blade saw the his double roll his eyes. Blade had to suppress a grin, for he knew immediately that he liked this guy. –what a smart ass- blade thought aloud in his head.
Alec heard him and his gaze went sharp as he heard his twin's thought. –no way!- he thought aloud in his head and at the same time he thought it, he knew his twin had received his thought. Their eyes were locked. All around them, Rowan, Wolf, Slate, Keegan and Max where looking at them.
Blade tried again to send one of his thoughts –what's your name?-
immediately Alec told him, - Alec, as in smartalek…you?-
-Blade, who's the chick?-
Alec grinned, Max saw them, she was totally confused, but she could have sworn that they were somehow communicating.
-none of you damn business!- Alec thought and his twin received the message. For the first time in a long time, Blade grinned, a genuine grin.
