Chapter 4 – Regroup
Apartment Room 108
They should be here by now Chris wrote , he was sitting at the end of the bed .
Maybe they got hold up
Maybe they're unreliable
What do you know !
" Knock Knock " Max called .
Go he wrote
In your face she wrote as she headed off to the door .
" Hey " Max said as Gem opened the door .
" Hi " Alec said lazily .
" Hey Gem " Joshua said .
" shhhhh quiet , shutup ! "
" What ? " Max whispered .
Gem spent the next 5 minutes explaining everything , whilst Max and Alec argued .
" So that's why you have to be quiet around him , and use these " she said handing them notepads .
The door opened to reveal Chris lying on the bed holding up the notepad .
Took your time he wrote .
I had a few distractions she scribbled looking towards Max and Alec .
I remember them and there goings on , it's as if ones a cat and the other's a dog – no pun intended he wrote with a dumb grin .
I hope your not a funny boy like dumbo over here ! Max scribbled .
Oh no , I'm all serious
What did she put ? Alec wrote .
She said you're a nice chap he scribbled with a deceitful grin on his face .
I bet she did he wrote back .
Were gunna go figure out a plan , ok ? Gem put .
Coffee ? he wrote .
Fine she scribbled as they went into the other room
Logan's Pent House
Logan sat at his desk, all the monitors lit up brightly , and a web cam feed showed Sebastian on screen.
"Hi Sebastian, wondered if you could help me with something" he asked in a do-gooder tone .
"Sure, Logan, what is it " his robotic voice asked.
"Max had gone out to Oregon to help a friend, but on the way she encountered some reds, or at least something like red's " he explained .
"Hmmm, well I'll tell you what I know "
"Thanks "
"Apparently the South African's have been developing a knew implant , different from the old one , it is rumoured that someone can tolerate this implant for much long , between 2 and 3 years , but … "
" but ? "
" It seems that the implants sometimes go faulty , either killing the person they are attached to , or stop working for small periods of time , causing huge amounts of pain " he explained.
" So are they trying to fix it or what ? "
" Yes , but they decided to terminate the Red's with the new implant , the VRD II C , they killed an estimated 60+ by making the chip go into over-ride , but the VRD II C users caught on , they grouped up and attacked one of the facilities , destroying all the equipment they used to kill them "
" So the Red's kind of split ? " Logan asked.
" Yes , the new red's renamed themselves and prefer to be named the RM2's , both the Red's and the RM2's are after biosynth technology , but it takes time to find it , so they must have found some or got someone to find them for them "
" Damn ! " Logan spat.
" Logan ? "
" Max , she's chasing after these guy's because a friend of hers is linked with them "
" Another Biosynth ? " Seb asked.
" Yep , anything else I need to know ? "
" Maybe if you could manage to Electrocute the RM2's it could kill them "
" No , I remember Max did that once about 9 years ago "
" Yes but maybe it could cause a malfunction either killing or weakening the RM2 so they can be terminated "
" Great , but I don't know why these guys are still after Transgenics , surely they realise that won't work "
" You'd think , but I guess someone told them that and they believed them , it's doubtful it could help , even if they created weaker biosynths of their own and put the implant in , they would probably still die like Max could've , but being unstoppable is a bad thing because they want more and want to last longer , so they will stop at nothing if they think it could help "
" Thanks for the info Seb " Logan said and he then dialled Max's number .
" Max , hi , I've got something for you ...
Apartment
" That was Logan , in a nutshell , the Red's or some New Red series are behind this because they still think we can prolong life " Max explained.
" Great ! " Gem hissed.
" How can we stop them , with them being superhuman and all ? " Alec asked.
" Well , they new implant has faults , if we electrocute them Logan says that can cause the implant to stop working so we can kill them easier "
" Good job I bought my Electricity gun " Alec remarked.
" Tazer's idiot ! " Gem snapped.
" Good job I bought one of them too " Alec humoured.
" Red's pretty whack " Joshua said.
" Yeah , how are we gunna get tazer's ? " Gem asked.
" Ask " Joshua said.
" Ask ? " Alec said with a face as if Joshua was crazy , Gem though it over and a smile came over her face.
" Yeah , ask , I think I have a idea " Gem said.
" See not just a pretty face hey big fella " Alec said.
" Ow ! " he said as Max punched him " I was being serious " Sure honey " Gem Mocked.
Then the door burst open.
" Hey guys ! I think something happened " Craig said , yet no one said a word , but Gem reached for her pad.
" No , I mean I can here crackling , as if something happened down their end " he explained.
Like what Gem mouthed .
" Like I don't know , there bugging equipment broke or got destroyed "
" Hey could be right , Loan mentioned the Red's could have someone doing the muscle work for them , and they come and take over "
" The Red's , oh crap " Craig said scratching his head.
" Take over ? " Alec asked.
" As in kill everyone and accidentally destroy the equipment " Max guessed.
" You think—" Gem said but was cut off.
" No , they need them to get you , us " Max sighed.
" God , everything's so messed up " Gem said , angrily she grabbed a vase and through it at Craig , who just managed to dodge it .
" Why couldn't you have just died ! " she yelled. Joshua growled in a low pitch tone , Craig was about to say something yet instead he just left the room. Alec went after Craig.
He found Craig down the corridor , fuming.
" Hey " Alec said.
" Leave me alone ! "
" I'm just trying to help "
" Yeah , well don't ! " he spat.
" Fine then , whatever " Alec said as he turned round.
" She was fine before , and now she's wishing me dead "
" I know what it's like "
" Do you ! "
" Yeah , Max , one minute she's my best friend , next she's my worst enemy " Alec explained.
" Gem was like that a lot back at Manticore with a lot of the guys , a lot of underlying hostility "
" Tell me about it , I've been hit so many times I lost count "
" So what's the story between you and Max ? " Craig asked.
" Breeding partners "
" Same here , that must be why they don't like us "
" Yeah , they think we're bad news because we were in the program "
" Maybe I was a little hard on Craig " Gem said.
" Maybe not " Joshua said.
" Yeah , but , if it was me in his position , would I have just sat there and took it "
" Don't beat yourself up , you were angry , that's understandable " Max said.
" Guess your right " Gem said. They sat in silence for a minute or to then Max said something surprising.
" You don't still like him do you ? "
" What ! God no ! "
" Hmmm " came Max's response.
" Well , he gave me Libe , I'm grateful for that , of course I am , but it wasn't some huge gift he gave me , we had orders to screw and that's what .. happened "
" Pretty Whack " Joshua said.
" Exactly , every minute of it was disgusting , I didn't even like him then , I certainly don't like him now ! " Gem spat.
" Far be it from be to give relationship advise , but you sound like your trying to convince yourself "
" No I'm just frustrated "
Then the door opened , and Alec nervously peaked round the door , seeing things had calmed down he went in , and Craig followed.
" Sorry " Gem said.
" What " he teased pretending he hadn't heard , but he received a easy look and he grin went to a straight face. " I'm sorry to "
" Need a plan " Joshua said and all eyes were on him.
