Chapter six:
A troublesome plan
"Phoenix." Max said yanking her into consciousness. When she opened her eyes Max and Benji were standing over her.
"What happened." Phoenix asked.
Benji was the first to answer. "The shelf fell on you." he explained. She got up and looked around the room, but they were still in the lab.
"Wait I could have sworn that we got out of this lab." Phoenix said.
"What are you talking about?" Max asked.
"No... Nothing." Phoenix stutered."Was it just a dream? She asked herself.
Benji and Max were staring at her with weird expressions on their faces.
"What are you looking at?" Phoenix asked angerly.
"Nothing." they both said as they turned around and started walking back to the house. The rest of the way there was complete silence except the occasional conversations between Max and Benji. PHoenix at times could hear what was they were talking about,but other times she couldn't hear them. She did however hear on thing that sounded important.
"We can't let her do it." She heard Benji whisper.
"If she wants to we will let her." Max whispered back.
"But we don't know what will happen." Benji replied.
"We will warn her about what will could happen." Max said.
That was all she heard before they reached the door to the house. Indistinctly Phoenix headed up to her room. Halfway up the stairs Max stopped her.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"I need to think about something." she replied.
"Okay I'll tell Benji to wait untill you come back downstairs to start the test." Max said before turning and heading back towards the basement.
'Am I one to be weak?' Phoenix asked herself. 'Am I one to give upon others?' Phoenix started to think.'I have so many questions to ask but I don't know how or who to ask.' Phoenix had many question that were swimming in her head. She didn't know what to think about her mission with Max and Benji.
"Maybe I just need some rest." Phoenix said as she walked through the door to her room. Her room wasn't the same as it was when she left. It was clean and the metallic bowl was missing. 'Someone must have been in here.' she thought to herself as she laid down in her bed.'Maybe the owner...' she started to think but sleep took over.
Down in the basement:
"How do you wanna do this?" Max asked Benji.
"While she is asleep because it will be easier." Benji replied.
"Yes but..." Max started to say.
"Don't okay. Stop being a baby and let's do it already." Benji barked. "We only need her for a little while more." he added.
"What do you mean?" Max asked.
"After we open that door we can send her back to the lab." Benji answered.
"I don't think so Benji." Max said angrily.
Benji began to open his mouth to say something but he instantly shut it."She want to help me find my family, and I plan to keep her safe. Not only that but I don't wanna hurt her any more than what I have already." Max said.
"Okay then." Benji said with a smile. "What do you propose we do?"
"I say we wait till she wakes up and wait until she is ready. Then when she opens the door we will leave, and you can do what you want with whatever is inside." Max explained his plan throughly.
"Fine we'll do it your way but after that you resign from this job and leave the house." Benji said angrily.
"I'll go wake her up then and you have a deal." Max said sadly.
"I'll be waiting." Benji said turning to the lab door.
"Where are you going?" Max asked.
"No where really." Benji replied. "Go get the girl up." he added.
On his way up Max thought to himself. He was thinking about how much he knew Benji, and he knew that Benji wouldn't let them go that easily. He had to think up a way to escape from the house unharmed.
Back at Phoenix's room:
Light again was shining through the roof, and woke phoenix up just as Max walked through the door.
"Oh you're already up." Max said.
"Stupid su keeps waking me up." Phoenix replied. Max looked at her with a weird expression. "What?" Phoenix asked innocently.
"Uhh... for one the sun is not shinning." Max said.
"What do you mean?" Phoenix asked before looking around. "Wait what? I swear the sun was shining when I woke up." Phoenix said.
"I think you're going crazy. Anyway we are ready for you." Max said with a worried expression.
"Alright I'll be down in a few." Phoenix replied as Max turned and walked out the door.
'I wonder what that was all about.' She said to herself.
