Chapter Four
"Theressa," Logan said giving her and everyone a startle. It had been quiet for awhile and Logan's sudden out burst scared everyone.
What? Fox asked telepathically. Even though they weren't on the surface yet she still wanted to keep quiet. She linked Jean and Warren with her and Wolverine as well.
Beast told me to give this to y'all. Logan put his hand out to reveal, three blinking lights. Theressa turned around and picked one up after Archangel and Jean had done the same.
What are they? Warren asked.
Trackers. Wolverine replied. Put them on your neck. This is in case one of us is captured. If that happens skip Cerebro and head straight for the Blackbird. Use the tracker devise in the jet to trace the signal.
Great. Jean said putting the device on her neck. Theressa disconnected with Jean and Angel from the main link and Jean created a new one with Warren.
Jean, whose Theressa's husband? Angel asked as they walked on the surface now.
Christopher Knight. Jean replied
Where is he? Angel hoped that Theressa couldn't hear him. If she could she wasn't saying anything.
He passed away a few years ago. Jean said remembering how Theressa dealt with that loss.
How?
It's not my place to say.
Why does she still wear the ring?
I don't know Angel. If you love her or like her in the least bit you will wait for her to tell you and not a moment before.
Angel stopped the conversation right there and respected what Jean had just said.
At the Military Base:
"Mr. Summers, I will ask you one more time," General Tyler said trying to calm himself but wasn't doing a very good job. "Where is the X-men's hid out?"
"I don't know! The X-men broke up. We're everywhere now." Scott replied unwilling to break. "You have told me the same lie for the past five hours and I am growing tired of your game. If you don't know where the hide out is then where is the safe house?"
"We never had one." Scott informed the General. Scott had always intended to buy a warehouse or some building and use it as the safe house but he never had the money. They had hoped they would never need one but that hope was crushed when the soldiers came after him and Jean.
"Sir, if I may have a word with you?" said a Captain over the P.A. system. The general walked out of the room and into the observation room where the Captain was sitting. She stood up when he came over to her. "Yes, Captain?"
"Sir, maybe we should give him some water and bread. He's been in there for a long time with out anything and you've been torturing him with that stick and maybe…"
"This is an interrogation Captain and in order to get what we want we must do what we must and what we must do is to shock him and give him nothing to eat or drink until he gives us what we want. Is that understood Captain?"
"Yes Sir." She replied and watched the General leave and as soon as he was gone she walked into the room where Scott was lying on the bed with a bowl, a rag and a glass of water.
"Here, have a drink." She said helping Scott drink, for his hands were tied to the bed.
"You shouldn't be in here." Scott said knowing she would be I trouble id she was caught.
"You heard the whole thing?"
"Yeah, I heard the whole thing."
"I'm going to clean you up a little bit so this may sting." The Captain put the cloth in the bowl, mixed it around; making sure it was good and wet and placed it on Scott's side, which had the biggest wound. "Ahh!" Scott cried when she place the cloth on his side. "I'm sorry but it has to be cleaned. You don't want it to get infected." "What's in the bowl?"
"Water mixed with peroxide."
"No wonder it hurts."
"I said I was sorry."
"It's better than being shocked."
"I bet it is."
"What's your name?"
"Kristin Jones You can call me Kristen instead of Captain."
"Well, Kristen, why do you work for that bone head?"
"General Tyler? Well for one I needed a job and two because he's my father."
"Really? Why do you have different last names?"
"I married last year."
"Oh Congrats. You should probably go but before you do could I have another drink of water?"
"Of Course." Kristen said giving Scott the rest of the water.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome." Kristen picked up her thinks and went back to her station.
