Friday-One week before the Treaty.
Logan was suppposed to meet the Senator Marshall in a few minutes. He had brought the disc he wanted to show the senator.
«The senator will see you in a minute.» said the assistant to Logan.
Logan simply nodded.
Logan thought that the building would probably impress Max. She would love to 'borrow' some things here. There were several workman in the place. These were probably the preparations for the signature of the treaty.
After a few minutes, the same assitant motionned him to enter the Senator's office.
«Hello Logan.» greeted warmly the senator.
«Hello Marshall.»
«How's the family business?» he asked. The old man knew that because of Eyes Only the Cale's had lost their business, but he couldn't help but asking.
«You know as well as i that things are not that good at the moment.» simply said Logan. «But i'm doing well.»
«Hmm...So why did you wanted to meet me Logan?» asked the senator.
«It's about the Treaty.» announced Logan.
«Is there a problem?» inquired the senator.
«I think it should be cancelled.» continued Logan.
«What do you mean?» frowned the senator. «You want me to abandon almost a year of work?»
«I think you should look at this.» said the younger man pulling out the disc.
These were video footage. (A/N:I'll let you imagine what the video footage is...)
«So?» said the senator. «I don't see anything unusual Logan.»
Logan came next to the senator to see the video but the images he had downloaded were no longer those on the disc. It was showing a video footage of Sam/Max wandering in the streets of TC with Alec next to her and Mole.
«I don't...i don't understand...there was two Max...» he stammered.
«It's alright son. You're not the first one who is against the Treaty.» assured Paul Marshall.
«No...No...»
The senator asked one of the guard to help Eyes Only out of office.
«The poor guy.» he commented.
When they dropped him at Joshua's house, Logan couldn't believe it. There was clearly all the images of the last few weeks. Including the one of the TC entrance when they had come back from the 'Rescue'. There was a very frigtenned Max holding tightly Alec's hand.
He pushed his door open and headed to the kitchen. There must have been some whisky, or some alcohol that Alec had left last time he was here.
«That was stupid Logan.» said Alec.
He should have known after his meeting that this insect would show up.
«Really stupid. We were already playing with computers at 6 when you were probably spending your time tanning on a yacht near France with your girlfriend of the moment. How could you think that you hacking in our system would go unnoticed?»
«The hope of the fool.» said Logan. «Now leave me alone Alec.»
«Huh huh...» said another voice. Zane appeared in another corner of the room.
«Can handle a single man alone?» said Logan mockingly though the fear was clearly risen in his chest.
«Calm down Logan, you would have been dead by now if we were here to kill you.» assured Alec.
«The guy's right.» said a thrid voice. Krit, stated Logan in his head. «But as for myself, i don't know. I've never quite understand why is it that she was interested in you. I mean usually we like the same things as we are 'really' brother and sister.» he paused. «Never. Though i should get it. Right Zane?»
«Right. He was always in tune with her when we were young.» assured Zane.
«What do you want?» asked Logan, his voice shacking.
«Nothing.» said Alec. «Just be careful and watch your back.» warned 494.
And then the three of them disappeared into the darkness like they were ghosts. Logan took a deep breath.
«I can't believe he thought that he hack into my system!» said Dix proudly.
«Don't brag.» said Mole. «You have an advantage on the ordinary.»
«What? You like him now?» asked Luke in disbelief.
«Don't talk about doom! Of course not, but i mean we're all gifted, and he's ...he's just ordinary...» shrugged the lizard man.
«Do you think Zane or Krit will kill him?» asked Dix.
«Nope.» said Syl from behind.
The three transgenics turned their head to face the blond girl.
«They didn't go there for that.» she continued.
«They just want to scare him.» explained Mole.
«What are you doing here?» inquired Syl. «You're supposed to be on sentry duty!» she told Mole.
Mole shook his head.
«You like too much playing CO here little girl!» warned Mole.
«You got any problem with that?» said Syl.
«Aw! Syl! Stop it would you!» yelled Jondy. «Plus, Alec put you two together on sentry duty.» she informed the two.
«You've got to be kidding me!» they said in unison.
«No way, i'm spending more than one minute with this punk!» said Mole. He had learned the hard way that even though Syl, like all the X5s, has nice features, that she really can kick your ass. Not that he couldn't take her. He was respectful of the girl. It's just that they couldn't stand each other.
«And no way i'm spending with you and you factory of pollution.» she commented.
«Not like your lungs couldn't take it? Or is it that you spend too much time on the outside and got 'ordinarized'» (A/N:okay so that word, i imagined it. Yeah yeah, pathetic!)
Syl was about to bolt and kick the guy's ass, but Jondy held her wirst tightly.
«Stop fighting, and do what you have to do? You're soldiers or what?» she looked at her sister then Mole then back to her sister.
They both nodded and exited command.
«Alec didn't really put them together, right?» said Dix amused.
«No.» admitted Jondy. «I know they both want Max's position as second in Command. They'll have to sort it out between them. Maybe spend the night out, will give them time to discuss...»
«Syl and Mole? Discuss?» Luke chuckled.
«Or they'll come back more calm at least.» Jondy hoped.
Outside Seattle, in a gymnase, Thula's team were waiting for her. They had split up back in Toronto when they tracked 453. Ames had already used the girl to get 452, so with the right plan they would get 452. She had witnessed the murder of their kind in that warehouse. They had to get her. Plus she had killed Ames. Peoples were asking for revenge.
Though some familiars of the Great Families thought that Ames was just as weak as his father. In a different way, but he was weak i fcouldn't defeat a transgenic filth. Anyway, why he hadn't he told the Conclave that he got her prisonner?
Ames White had trespassed his prerogative by ignoring the Conclave.
Anyway, they had split because they figured it would be more easy to track to freak down. They were waiting for their CO for one day now.
«She's not coming back.» said one of the girl.
«She said we rendez-vous here. So we stay here!» said stubbornly one of the guys.
«It's been one day...maybe she's...»
«Don't say that word!» ordered the older one! «We are immortals. We don't die!» he said like an automaton. (A/N:Definitely brainwashed, don't you think?)
In the sewers, Krit, Zane and Alec were discussing the situation.
«He will try again.» said Krit. «Won't he?»
«Yeah.» agreed Alec. «Logan's pretty stubborn. I guess that's what your sister saw in him.»
«Saw? Past tense? Because you think that she won't be back at him once she'll recover.» said Zane. «That you'll mate with her? Believe me, transgenic or not, a woman is a woman! And a woman is trouble! Especially Max.»
«Aw! Come on Zane. The guy's already stressed! We like you Alec. It's just that we like our sister more.»
Alec just nodded. Now was not the moment to talk about that.
«I won't mate with her, if that we'll help you sleep at night.» informed Alec not looking at the two brothers.
«Er...okay...» simply said Krit.
«He's whipped.» commented Zane.
Apparently, having one person to hate in common (meaning Logan), made it easier for the three to talk the way they did before all the whole mating thing came in the equation.
In the gymnase, the familiars were getting impatient.
«I'm done! Who's the guy who knew were we could get her in Toronto. The husband guy.»
The older guy handed her the phone.
«I'm sure he'll know how to get hold of her.» she continued.
She made the call and repressed a satisfied grin once she had hung up.
«What are you smiling at?»
«We've got a lead. A certain Logan Cale the guy said. Helped 452 for what i understood to hide Ames' son.»
«Where can we find that guy?»
«I've got the lead you do the search.» complained the girl.
Liked it? Loved it? Hate it? Review...pretty please...
