A/N: Sorry I've been dragging out the rescue part for so long. Next update won't be for a while since I'm starting school. But I'll try to update as soon as I can. I have so many ideas…just gotta write it down…if you're bored…check out my other story: Disasters in Science. Please read and review…*hint* I may just update faster…
DizzyDame: I don't exactly know whether it will be a M/L or M/A. I kinda want to make it a M/A/L story since it doesn't really involve much romance. Can't we all work together? Maybe that's why people won't read it…please tell me what you think…what do people like…M/A/L?
CoolAngel: Thanks…I was wondering if you were one of them. It's a real surprise to me. I never thought I'd be on anybody's list. lol. Anyway, thanks again!
Whisper: Thanks for the tip. I'll try my best to improve my stories!
Chapter 7: Rescue
Max struggles with the chains, but with no luck. She was weak, but the cause of it was unknown. Possibly something in the atmosphere…she hears White talking to someone, but can't tell who, even with her hyper-hearing. The voices were muffled.
***
White answers his cell. It was the Conclave, just as he expected.
"Have you found her yet?"
"Yes. She is in my custody at this time."
"Good. Don't let her escape."
"I won't. Besides, she's too weak. I'm testing the 'Mantical'. It appears to be working."
"You know you must get rid of her. If she lives to see the Coming, she'll ruin everything."
"I know. I just need some answers from her."
"Don't let your emotions take over, White."
"Weren't you the one told me we didn't have feelings?"
"You're right, you don't. Anything you feel is unreal. Remember that."
"I will."
"Do you have any information on the whereabouts of Ray?"
"I'm trying to find out."
"Do whatever it takes. You must find him before someone else does. I know how you feel. He was you're only son…he meant a lot to you."
White's stomach jumped at the mention of Ray. He didn't like discussing Ray with anyone…especially members of the Conclave. It would show his emotions, which would show weakness. He would not show them. He couldn't; otherwise, he'd be known as the disgrace. He couldn't let that happen…not when he was so close to becoming the hero… He shook off the feeling and continued the conversation.
"Yes…452 may be the only one who knows his location."
"Do whatever it takes, as long as she is gone, for good, and Ray is found. The time is near. We must prepare ourselves. Hurry. Finish your job! I expect to hear from you in a few days."
The call ended. White pocketed his cell and left to meet up with Otto, acting as if nothing happened…
***
As the footsteps approached, Logan picked up a signal from White's cell again. They were close…so close that White just walked out of the building next to them. It was then that they noticed his men not too far behind with Otto guiding them. They knew they were there, but how? Joshua, Alec, and Logan fled to a nearby abandoned building…seeking shelter and protection, but they knew they couldn't run for long. White would find them if he was able to detect their presence. They didn't have much time…
Ooo…I'm getting good at cliffhangers! *dances around*
Sorry, but I like cliffhangers ...they're so fun! :)
***This was kinda rushed since I don't have much time…please tell me if it doesn't make sense. I'll try and fix it. Next time, I hope to be able to spend more time on it.***
