Chapter 12

A Change of Plans

Next morning Tom woke up the car laying in the back seat while the other two were sitting in back in their seats still sleeping. That's when Tom decided to look up at a bank's near by sign that showed the digital clock and time. 9:17 am

Ha ha time to wake these boys up... he grabbed both of their ears and yanked them, both woke up right away. "Damn dude that hurt..." Jake moaned while Ron was rubbing his "Ah shut up it wasn't that bad, what time is it?" "nine seventeen" Tom answered while yawning.

"How are your sense Ron?" Tom managed to ask "Give me some time to wake up lad that's when it works best..." Jake stretched out his arms " Wish we had some of the French currency in our pockets then we could buy ourselves some break feast." That made everyone moan. Tom definitely agreed with Jake there "Man I hear ya this belly needs some food." They usually got most of their cash through the resistance so it would be hard to get back on track. He and the others were in the military no longer got checks from the military cause they were counted as KIAs ever since their visit to the prisoner camp … or could also be called an execution camp... but he tried to keep his mind away from that.

It didn't matter whether he had a KIA or not cause he didn't have family back in America since the Chinese Invasion. The only family he used to have was his wife Terri who just happened to take a lucky business trip to Alaska and had been there the day the bombings were planned. That was also one of the reasons he joined the United States Marine Core. At first it was all revenge but now its a matter of forgetting it all cause he wasn't even shipped to that front. It never meant he would forget his wife Terri but he kept his mind off of it cause it would only drag him down so he quickly thought of something else.

"So when you wake up we're going to fully rely on your senses?" Tom asked nervously but Ron only grinned "Don't worry man I'm like the blood hound out of this whole group" "Well I sure hope you can find the others quickly." Jake had been trying to sense the others the whole time but wasn't nearly as experienced as Ron.

After a starting back up the car Ron got back up on his senses and started sniffing around with Jake they let Tom drive. "Stay at a good speed and stay low Tom" Ron sure knew what he was doing. "Okay boy Ill give you a treat if you find something" Tom joked while driving down the street.

"Will opening the windows help?" He asked with both nodding yes. As they drove down the street it was torture for them all when they passed the restaurants... they probably hadn't eaten for at least two days but he didn't complain and so did the others they were at work and he didn't want to disturb them.

Its amazing how far technology has advanced he thought to himself. Now they got super human beings running around doing the dirty work for the military and the general public never even knew about and still doesn't. Also made him wonder just how much more the government hides form them but this would probably have to be one of their biggest considering they were walking and living proof of their creations or what Francis liked to call their biggest mistakes.

Even if having all those abilities extremely improved your performance at anything he still wouldn't ever want to be one... and there was always the chance of the serum turning you into an apprentice which it was originally made for. He'd rather shoot himself before turning into one of those bastards but even form what he heard you yourself pretty much got budded out and wouldn't live... but if he were to some how end up like A2... nah that probably never happened cause if Ron were drugged wouldn't Jake be drugged as well but that still didn't cover the topic of how he escaped.

About an hour later Ron finally spoke up "I think I got a trace of something take a right here." I hope he's smelling right. He turned the car down the street which didn't look like a friendly area with trash littered on the street and side walks and graffiti on some of the walls.

"I think they might be on this road" Ron said just as the passed steps leading down to the subway. Then just as they passed an alley "Stop right here!" Tom brought the car to a sudden halt "You sure they might be here Ron?" Jake asked "I can feel what your feeling but its not much" "I know it ain't much but I'm for sure" Tom had known Ron for awhile now and he was for sure Ron knew his stuff. "Alright let me park this car I'll leave it running just in case." Tom parked the car on the side of the street close to the alley.

"You guys ready?" Jake asked "Yep" Ron replied "Sure thing" He answered. Then they got out of the car cautiously walking down the alley. As they were walking he noticed that both Jake and Ron had activated their SH to defend their selves from any sort of attack. Tom felt kinda left out so he found and picked up a lead pipe lying in a dumpster. "lets get this over with"

They walked down the alley in arrowhead formation with Ron in the middle and Jake and Tom on the sides. I hope this ain't a... it always seemed to happen before he could finish his thought before they knew it they were surround by men pointing guns at them. "Don't move" one of the French men ordered. Then one of them came up and took his heavy weapon away then moments later a familiar voice said. "Don't worry their one of us." He turned looking toward the direction the voice came from and saw that it was Catherine.

The men slowly lowered their guns "Good to see Mr. McArcher we've heard a lot about the chosen one." The French resistance man greeted. "If it weren't for Ron we never would've found you lads" The French man shook each of our hands "Very nice too meet you gentleman but let us come inside"

That would probably be better, as they walked into the building their sat Marla and Olga at a table. "Jake!" The little girl shouted excitedly while running over to give him a big hug. "Hey Olga how have you been" the little girl started to tear up a little. "I really missed you Jake I thought you were dead." Jake hushed her and calmed her down "Don't worry I'm here and I'm not gonna leave for a while"

But even though Marla and Catherine were happy to seem them they looked puzzled as well. "Whats wrong?" Tom asked the two. "We got some bad news guys." When Jake heard that he started playing with Olga a little so she would pay little attention to them. "Francis, Natalie, Jason, and Marcus are traveling to Germany at this moment to bust you guys out of prison." That made our mouths drop. "Wait they did what?" "Well... Francis said that all SH were sent to a prison there but where were you guys?" Marla asked looking even more worried than before. "Your not gonna to be believe it but we were being held at the Notre Dame Cathedral" which successfully rose a few brows in the room.

"Oh god we got to get them..." "Can you get hold of them?" Marla had a tear running down her cheek now "We can't" Ron went into another room and started to curse. "I think they might be taking the train..." Marla said wiping the tear off of her face by the looks of it there were more to come.

"This is bad..." The moment of happiness lasted only for a few seconds and ended with a came right back at them with a pocket full of worry. "Damn it where the is the prison." Tom asked. Catherine quickly added in "Been there done that I know exactly where it is but we'll have to stay low the whole time." Jake laughed but not the good kind "Haven't we been doing that this whole time?" He was mad and aggravated but Tom didn't blame him his girlfriend was riding a one way ticket to hell.

"Look what I meant by that is that this is gonna be James Bond x10 meaning security is very tight and its nearly impossible to slip by it" Jake stood up looked her in the eye and said "Then we'll either have to find them before they get there or go in the hard way..."
