Zack and J.D walked into the elevator and pushed the button. Zack was standing in the middle of the elevator pointing his gun towards one of the exits while J.D was holding his knife ready for combat.

Every floor they stopped by people shrieked in terror. When the doors closed again Zack couldn't help but chuckle a little. This was to strange, but it felt good. He had no idea what J.D was planning but he prayed that he knew what he was doing.

J.D poked him in the shoulder to get his attention right before they came to the bottom floor.

"They're coming down!" A guard shouted.

The blonde woman was waiting nearby watching the guards and police officers raising their weapons towards the elevator.

"Wait shooting until my command!" one man shouted and it was obvious that he was in charge.

When the doors to the elevator slide opened the guards stared dumbfounded. The elevator was empty.

"It's a trick. They're going for the stairs!" someone shouted and all armed persons ran to the stairs.

A minute of silence then the hatch on the roof opened and one man in blue scrubs jumped down. He watched around.

"Clear!"

A second man jumped down.

They managed to take a few steps to the nurses station that they had to pass before getting to safety.

"Bambi!" Carla shouted relived when she saw him and then she saw the man with him and she screamed for help.

J.D cursed and clasped a hand around her mouth.

"Carla! Trust me on this one. He's okay. He's no danger to you!"

Zack snorted and then raised his gun when they suddenly were surrounded. Not by guards, not cops but Manticore soldiers.

-

"Aw Hell!" J.D said.

"Right there with you Bro. This just isn't my day!" Zack agreed watching the circle of Manticore guards.

"Well, well this will certainlymake me look good." A male voice said amused and J.D snapped his head in time to see another X5 walk into the circle.

Zack, without thinking about it , took a step forward so the nurses was behind him. The nurses were innocents. They weren't supposed to get hurt because of them.

"X5-599 and X5-992. It's been a long time." The other X5 said hardly. "Colonel Lydecker will be please to have you back. He is sure that you will be a part of the elite once you've been re-programmed properly."

Carla gasped at his words and Zack gave her glare that clearly meant for to be quite.

This was going to be ugly.

Turk was walking down the hall whistling. His shift had just started and he had decided to say hi to his girlfriend first. When he walked closer to the nurses station he saw armed men pointing guns against Carla and several others.

He was about to say something when someone grabbed his arm and jerked him into a room before he was seen.

Let me know what you think.
