-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pip stared up at the X5 with fear in her eyes, as the sound of running feet got louder. A smile crossed his face, as he went to grab her, and she went into action, kicking at his knees, as she had been taught. He swore, as she went to grab for her, but she easily ducked out of the way of his hands. "What the matter, X5 too fast for you?" she taunted, as she bounced on the balls of her feet.
"You're going to die," he sneered, as he launched himself at her, knocking her off her feet. Pip sound found herself on her back, with the X5 towering over her. "Now where is that other X5 traitor? Tell me where he is, and I won't kill you."
"If I tell you, you'll kill us both," Pip muttered, as she looked up at him.
"True, but you'll tell me in the end." He reached down for her with a dark look in his eyes, and Pip tried to move away from him.
"Hey!" a female voice called out, with a commanding tone, and the X5 looked up to receive a kick to the chest. Pip's head snapped to the right to see a female X5 standing to her right wearing what looked like a doctor's outfit over a camouflage uniform. "You been a pain in our side for a bit...ya know?"
"I'm sorry," the X5 growled, as he got to his feet, only to hear feet come up behind him and turned to receive a punch in the face by Pip's X5. Pip let out a sigh, as she quickly was pulled to her feet by the female.
"Hey, um, we got to jet, or we seriously gonna get into more trouble with um, Max," the female muttered, as she pushed Pip forward into the Pip's X5's arms. "Come on, let's go unless you wanna fight more of his friends."
"Yeah, you're right," he said with a smirk, as he hunched down for a second, and looked at Pip for a second. "Okay, Pip, we're gonna have to be on the same page for a while. I need you with me okay."
"Gotcha," Pip replied, as she looked over at the fellow X5. "Ya know, some people tell others who they are escaping with that they have others with them."
"Oh, here, ah, she's just here to make sure don't stay here," he whispered to her, as he slowly opened a door for her. "After you, ladies."
"Don't try to impress me, hotshot," their fellow X5 whispered, as she slid past them to take lead. "Cause once Maxie hears that you allowed an X5 to attack her little one, you're gonna get your butt kicked."
He let out a groan, as he jogged to join them, after jamming the door. "Don't remind me, Maxie was always one with a mean temper."
"Yeah," the female muttered, as she paused and raised up her hands, and turned to face the male and Pip. "How well are you at blurring with her?"
"I haven't tried that," he replied, as he looked over Pip and she rolled her eyes.
"Ah, guys," she said, as she grabbed onto his arm.
"What?" both X5 muttered, only to follow her direction of vision to see a squadron of X7s heading towards them. "Oh, crap. Now would be the time to find out."
"No it wouldn't," Pip said, as she took off down an empty hallway, only, to have both X5s growl as they followed. Pip was almost to the door, when he grabbed her arm, and yanked her into what had to be a closet fo some kind. "Are you kidding me? The door is right there. We're almost free."
"Yeah, but it doesn't feel right," he muttered, as he looked over at the door, as the female X5 morphed into that of a Doctor. She shot the pausing lab tech a smirk, before they turned a corner and she decked him. "Ouch, she always was quick."
"She's one of you," Pip whispered, as she looked up at him. "An 09er?"
"Yep," he said, as she started to drag the tech towards them. He then smirked as she looked over at them with a somewhat confused look. "Don't look at me like that, sis, she figured it out."
"Figured what out?" the blonde X5 asked, as she gazed down at Pip with her arms crossed over her chest. "Tell me."
"Um, hi," Pip said, as she backed away from the now intimidating female into her friend. She looked up at him and shot him a fake smile.
"What did you tell her?"
"Nothing?" he answered as he quickly pulled them down, as guards walked by them. "She kinda figured it out on her own."
"The female rolled her eyes. "That's not a good thing. If she's captured. We're dead. That ever go through your mind."
"Yeah, and If she's captured and we escape without...ya think Max won't kill us."
"Good point." She then gazed down at Pip who was now wedged between the male X5 and the wall. "How did you know?"
"I kinda figured it out," she whispered, as she glanced up at her friend. "Since he kinda knew ya...it was somewhat of a give away. But any other X5 really wouldn't have helped us get away."
"Zack is so gonna kill us both," she muttered, as she got to her feet to peer out the window.
"Yeah, if we ever get out of here," he muttered, as he leaned against the wall.
"We'll get out of here."
"I'm afraid for Biggs and Dad more than I am for us," Pip whispered, causing, the X5s to turn to look at her, with confused look. "Biggs is a fellow X5 like Alec. He's from the same unit, I think. I fear for them going up against your guys' 'family' than having to face what's out there." She indicated to the other side of the door. "I get that you guys are all family and you're doing this for me, out of the goodness of your heart. But they are my 'family'. I've been with them since I could remember, which hasn't been long."
"Hey, we get that," he mouthed to her, as he slid an arm around her, as the tears started to come. "So what does this 'Biggs' do that most others can't?" He was trying to take the stress off their situation.
"He can kick Alec's butt, and he's teaching me how to blur around corners, without Max and Alec knowing." She let out a small sniffle. "There's Joshua who paints, and he lets me do it too...and Mole, who doesn't care if I hang out with him...and...the others are so neat." She looked up at them. "You'd like them."
"I'm sure we would." He looked up at the female at the door. "It clear."
"Yeah," she said as she carefully opened it. "So you can blur?" She had concern in her eyes.
"Yes, ma'am. I'm not as fast as X5s, but I can keep my weight."
"Good, then let's go." They then took off.
