Chapter 5 Sibling chats

A young woman in her early twenties sat on her couch looking out the window at the busy streets of Minnesota. She sipped on her coffee and watched the rain splatter on the window. She sighed and ran a hand through her long blonde hair and closed her eyes. The silence that consumed her was quickly broken by the phone. Her blue eyes snapped over to it and she answered it.

"Hello?" She asked into the phone,

"Syl?" A female voice asked into the phone.

"Hey Jondy." Syl said immediately recognizing the voice of her younger sister.

"Hey big sis." Jondy replied. "So how are things going?" Jondy asked her voice happy like usually.

Syl chuckled "they are fine, just like they were yesterday." She answered,.

"Oh, well you know things could have changed from then to now." She said.

"Uh-huh, sure." Syl rolled her eyes. She could tell that she was smiling through the phone.

"Where's Krit?" Jondy questioned.

"Asleep." Syl answered. "I can wake him if you want me too." Syl offered.

"No that's alright." She said. "I still can't believe you and Krit got hooked up." She said happy for her sister.

"Yea, it's still hard to imagine that me and him would actually get together." Syl admitted.

"Yea, when exactly did you two hook up?" Jondy asked.

Syl's eyes began to become full with tears, even now she still had trouble talking about this. "Right after us four took out Manticore's DNA lab." Syl said.

Jondy didn't say anything for a moment. She had been told about what had happened while Syl, Krit, Max, and Zack attacked Manticore, and she couldn't believe it. She breathed in and began to speak. "They are alive, I know it." Jondy told her sister.

Syl snorted. "How do you figure? If they did 'somehow' make it out, we would have knew about it. Lydecker and Logan saw her die Jondy. And Zack..." Syl trailed off. "If he did make it out do you not think he would have come to find us Jondy?" She asked. "It's been over a year Jon, they didn't make it." She insisted. This was the first time since she had first told Jondy of what had happened, that they had talked about it.

"No they ARE alive Syl, I can feel it, I just know it." Jondy argued.

Syl groaned. Jondy was always stubborn. "Jondy just accept it, they're gone." Syl said sadly.

"Then how come you don't believe it?" Jondy asked. Sly looked surprised, but it was true. A part of her 'didn't' believe that they were dead, knew they weren't. She hated it when Jondy did that,

Sly let a tear slip down her cheek. "Then how come they haven't told us? No Jon it's not possible that they could have survived. Logan saw Max die." She said.

"Screw what Logan said! This is Manticore, Max, and Zack we are talking about here. I don't care what anyone said Syl, they're alive, and I intend to find them." Jondy said determination written in her voice.

Syl shook her head. "Where are you going to look Jondy? Where are you going to start first?" Syl asked.

Jondy was quiet for a moment just thinking. Finally she spoke up. "Where was Max living or at the last time you saw her out of Manticore?" Jondy asked.

Syl was quiet for a moment. She knew Jondy was up to something. "Seattle, why?" She asked.

"I'm going to Seattle." Jondy said.

Syl sat there for a moment processing what Jondy had just told her. "What? Seattle why?" Syl asked.

"Honestly hun, think. That was Max's home, so what better place to start then at home base." Jondy explained.

"I suppose there's no stopping you?" Syl asked.

"Nope sorry Syl but I have to know the truth. I need to know whether they are alive or not." Jondy said. "Now what was that guys name again?" Jondy asked.

"Logan Cale." Syl said while biting her lip.

"Thanks well I'm going to go." Jondy said. "Later."

"Yea, see ya in Seattle." Syl said.

"What?!" Jondy asked surprised at what she just heard.

"I said I'll see you in Seattle." Syl said, "What you think I'm going to let you go and have all the fun? No way." Sly replied. "Krit will be coming too."

She could tell Jondy was grinning. "Good, see ya then Syl, and thanks." Jondy said and hung up. Syl looked at the phone in her hand and sighed.

'But Jondy's right, we 'have' to know." Syl thought as she ran a hand through her hair. "Now all I have to do is tell Krit." She mumbled.

"Tell Krit what?" Came a groggy voice. Syl turned to look at Krit and smiled.

"I got off the phone with Jondy just a second ago," She said.

"Oh no, what is Jondy doing now?" Krit teased. Syl laughed.

"We are going to Seattle." She said, letting the bomb fall.

Krit looked at her for a moment, before coming to sit next to her. Sly rested her head on him and closed her eyes. "Why?" He asked.

"We need to know the truth Krit. Jondy needs to know the truth, I do too." Syl said.

Krit sighed. "I know Syl, I know. When do we leave?" He asked.

"Dunno, Jondy didn't say, but my guess is she's getting ready to go to Seattle soon. Syl said. "And that means so should we." Syl yawned and snuggled up to him. He tightened his arms around her.

"I love you, you know that." Krit said and kissed her head.

Syl grinned. "Of course you do, who doesn't." She asked playfully. Krit groaned and laughed. "But I love you too." She said closing her eyes.

"I thought we were supposed to be leaving to go to Seattle?" Krit asked.

"We will... Later." Syl said.
