"How could just you and me go after even a few soldiers", asked Max as she collapsed on Logans couch head in her hands
"Yesterday I told you I had a few leads, I think I've actually found one of your siblings, may be two X5s can get in and out with the help of me looking ahead for them. She's staying at the Dancing Gazelle Motel room 13D, she bought a small laser for removing tattoos off the black market, could be to remove the barcode, she's going by Dajmine Noxy which to any may seem a normal enough name but rearrange the letters and strange enough it spells Max and Jondy", smiled Logan as he handed her the address
"Thanks Logan, I'll go check this out then we'll go from there", replied Max as she headed out the door smiling ear to ear
Dancing Gazelle
Max knocks on the door but no one answers so she picks the lock. Once inside she sees the lazar sitting on a table and the smell of burnt flesh prominent in the air.
"If you ever needed something so bad it makes you cry, have you ever loved someone so bad you couldn't sleep at night", came the voice of a female singing in the bathroom
"Krit, Syl, we have to share this room so don't you dare, I can only block so much out with this radio", came the voice when Max hit the corner of the bed with her leg causing a clank
"More", whispered Max as she heard people outside about to come in and the woman about to walk out of the bathroom
"Who are you, what are you doing in our room, Jondy are you okay", stated a man as Max tried to bolt out the door but he held a gun in her face
"Yah shit never heard her", replied Jondy as she looked at Max
"Yah shit I was only joking to Zack about the next X5 reunion and here I find it", laughed Max as she looked at her three older siblings
"X5, Zack, start talking you work for Lydecker", stated Krit as Syl closed the door
"Tell me something am I the only X5 who hates guns because what Lydecker did to Eva, you seem to have no prob about it like the old Emotionless One", retorted Max as she ripped the gun out of Krits hand and throw it on the bed
"Who", whispered Syl as she searched Maxs face for any form of recognition
"Come on it'll be fun just guess you only have one real choice of the ones who escaped, since they captured Tinga or did Zack not tell his good little soldiers who he found, or may be your not so good if you're together. The other possibility is Zack is being a dick head and hired people off the street to make me feel bad about being the bad little soldier and not going with him", hissed Max
"They captured Tinga", cried Jondy
"That's impossible he would have told us", whispered Krit as he stepped forward twisting Maxs hair to expose her neck
"Listen Bitch I will lay the smack down like I did to Zack", hissed Max as she broke free
"Baby Sister is it really you, we should have know you and those doe eyes", cried Krit as he looked into Maxs face
"But you fell through the ice and didn't come up", whispered Jondy
"No time for chit chat Lydecker's here", yelled Syl as she looked out the window
"Shit lets get the hell out", replied Max as the four ran to the bathroom window
"Where do we go", asked Krit as they could hear sirens coming toward them
"Follow me, Logan can get the three of you out of town", answered Max as she jumped on top of the motel and the others followed
Penthouse
"They're here too Little Maxie", whispered Syl as the group looked from across the street to the Penthouse which was swarming with soldiers
"Yes sir Lydecker we'll keep an eye on this place, X5-452 is bound to come back and with the others that where at the motel. No sir the computer has been completely erased we are unable to determine any other possible location for the X5s then the piece of paper that was lying on the floor", a soldier said over a cell phone
"Very well we'll see if we can get any information from the prisoner", came Lydeckers voice over the phone
"Damn, damn, damn, first they get our Mothers and Siblings, then Tinga and Brin, now they have Logan", cried Max as the four stopped in the alley
"Mothers and Siblings, Tinga and Brin how", asked Krit
"Our Mothers weren't having new kids just us over and over, Brin was dying and the only way to save her was me and Zack giving her to Manticore, Tinga did it because they had the only thing that would save the life of her little boy", answered Max
"We'll get your boy back he nose about you so it's dangerous and we'll get Tinga and Brin back, we'll call Zack and get him to call the others", replied Jondy
"No I asked Zack for a family reunion before he left tonight and he said no", stated Max
"Okay we know where Zane, Rachael and Daniel are, they'll help", replied Krit as the group headed away from the Penthouse
Manticore
"Have you had any luck", asked Renfro as Lydecker and two soldiers walked out of an interrogation room
"No he is devoted to the X5s and won't tell us anything, he didn't even brake when we gave him the manicure", answered Lydecker as he used a handkerchief to wipe blood off his hands
"They would have moved anyway, terminate him", hissed Renfro as she was about to walk away
"He might be useful in another capacity, we could use him as an example for the next class, this way we can get more funding", suggested Lydecker
"He's paralyzed too, brilliant, have the medics clean him up and we'll begin testing tomorrow", smiled Renfro as she turned back around
"Bring him to the hospital ward", ordered Lydecker as he looked at the soldiers
"You may be worth something after all", hissed Renfro as the unconscious bleeding form of Logan was dragged out of the interrogation room
