Logan and Bling worked to set up his computer
equipment over the course of an hour, with a remote link to Logan�s network so
he could continue his hacking.
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this,
Max tends to have her problems follow her around, this isn't exactly the arena
of a personal trainer, guerrilla warfare and espionage." Logan said as he
tapped into the Eyes Only network.
"It's not that much of an inconvenience,
I need to work you through your exercises anyways, and Robert seems to have an
extensive gym in back. By the way, what's the angle behind Robert and Jon, who
and what are they?" Said Bling as he sat down.
�Let�s just say they�ve had a few
unpleasant encounters with Manticore.� Logan said, summing it up.
"I see, but can you trust them?"
Bling said.
"I trust them, Max does, and they seem to
be men of honour, they live by their word. They were trained to be killers, they
are deadly, but stable, an insane man never bought his way into Delta
Force." Logan said as he continued to burrow into the Manticore files.
"I see, I'm going to get some rest, you
better as well, who knows what tomorrow may bring." Bling said as he got up
and left.
***********
"I see you still believe in being
prepared for the next three world wars?" Robert said as he watched Jon
unload some of the weapons, and check two large strongboxes loaded with
ammunition.
"Better safe than dead, I got some new
toys for us to play with, check this thing out." Jon handed Robert a
submachine gun, he looked it over, and recognised the design.
"An H&K UMP .45, I've been trying to
find this thing, I see you've adapted it to carry a silencer, we'll need that,
does it use .45ACP rounds, or others?" Robert said as he looked the weapon
over.
"It uses ACP, which means it's
interchangeable with our pistol rounds, which simplifies things, and I dug up an
H&K CAWS for you, it's over there." Jon said as he pointed to a
shotgun.
"Good, I'll need something for close-in
combat, how goes your search for H&K PSG-1's, or are you still coming up
short on them?" Robert asked.
"Found two of them, but let's get off
guns for a moment, I take it you finished your explosives work?" Jon said
as he shut a weapons case.
"I did, twenty more napalm devices and
I've doubled the power on the hi-ex grenades you brought. I've made up four
blocks of plastique, each capable of blowing up an armoured vehicle, or a ten
inch steel door." Robert said as he pointed to his worktable and a closed
metal case.
"Good, I just want to know one thing, can
I go see Kendra anytime soon, or is that compromising us?" Jon said,
hopeful he had some sex in the near future.
"It would be best if we got all of Max's
friends, and anyone who knows anything about her, out of Seattle, Lydecker will
torture them to no end to get info on our resident X5's.
We can send them out of town until the heat dies down, so no fun below
the belt for you my friend." Robert said as he cleaned one of his pistols.
"I can't fucking believe this, just
because Lydecker and the Red Series are around, you've got to cut into my fun! I
can't believe you man, you're fucking with my sex life cause you don't have one,
tell me fuckhead!" Jon said as he threw a pipe wrench at Robert, which he
swiftly avoided.
"I'm saving lives dumbass, if Lydecker
gets his hands on anyone who is connected to Max, he'll show no mercy in his
interrogation, or have you forgotten what he does in those? If you want Kendra
to live, you'll listen to me, we get them out of town, we send Lydecker and the
Red's packing, and you can make it up to her with twenty-four
hours of non-stop sex. I just want mission security to be tight, and you
to be clear-headed, and focused on the objective." Robert said, reverting
back to his Delta Force attitude.
"Fine, but if she dies cause you didn't
want to put her up in here, you are fucking dead you piece of shit, I will
personally make sure you die, is that understood?" Jon said as he grabbed
Robert lifted him up.
"It is, now let go, before I make
you." Robert said as he grabbed Jon's arm and twisted it away.
"I'll be up on the roof, let me know when
Max and Andrea get back, I've got a bottle of Jack Daniels to keep me company,
come up later if you want." Robert said as he started going up the stairs
to the second level of the garage.
"I'll see you in a bit, I just want to
finish checking the rest of my gear, save some of the Jacky D for me." Jon
said as he inspected an M4A1 he had mated an M203 grenade launcher too.
******
"So now there's two of those guys? Max,
I'm not sure about this, Robert is cold enough, Jon seems more sociable, but
really, what if they turn us over to Lydecker instead?" Andrea said as Max
drove, they were returning from their supply run, they had managed to get enough
food for several weeks, the back of the SUV was crammed with packages.
"I trust Robert, he could have easily
delivered me to Lydecker by now, several times in fact, Jon is an unknown
factor, but he seems to be on the level. They've been abused by Manticore like
we have, so let's keep that in mind sis, Logan trusts them as well, what do you
need, a declaration of intent by those two?" Max responded.
"I just think that Robert may abuse his
power, with his strength, and the fact that he cannot be hurt, I think that he
may believe he is invincible, and start a war in Seattle." Andrea responded
as they came up on their new base of operations.
"I think he may, but let's not have him
doubting himself with our disbelief, not one word of this, we'll deal with it
when it happens, not before." Max said as they parked the BMW in the
garage, and got out.
"It's about time you two got back, now
one thing, first rule about borrowing my SUV, you must reward me with gratifying
sexual pleasure." Jon said as he jumped down from the second floor.
"Very funny, now are you going to help us
unload this stuff, or are you going to flex your muscles all day?" Max
said, Jon was wearing a T-shirt, from which his muscles were bulging, he was
obviously a powerful man even before Manticore.
"I'm just saying that if you want to
borrow this thing, payment is required." Jon said as he rounded the back of
the SUV.
"Pay this!" Max said as she threw a
pipe wrench at Jon, which he caught the heavy end of in his stomach.
"Ouch, that did hurt, you're not like
most girls are you?" Jon said as he rubbed his chest, then picked up four
bags of groceries, and then carried them to a freezer.
"Genetically enhanced ass-kicker of
arrogant males, what can I say?" Max said as she grabbed two bags of
produce and carried them into the kitchen.
"Are you two gonna play nice, or must I
ref?" Robert said, he was calling in from a roof window, he jumped down,
not feeling the impact, and grabbed more of the food. Andrea was a bit shocked
by such a raw display of power, she did not often see that, and did not often
attempt such feats herself.
"Just showing your buddy to reel it in,
or I'll do it for him." Max said as she got out a bag of apples.
"Jon, if I've told you once, I've told
you ten thousand times, quit hitting on X5's, you have a girlfriend, and I know
how you don't hit women, but Max has no objection against men." Robert said
as he hefted the last of the groceries, including a first aid kit, he and Jon
didn't need that kind of thing. If Logan was going to get that transfusion, he
would need the blood transfusion equipment, Robert thought.
"I was just having a little fun, can no
one take a joke around here, it's like you never even heard sex-related humour
before." Jon said as he loaded the last of the meat into the freezer.
"I would suggest you lay off the subject,
the lady has already shown her distaste for your brand of humour, unless the
other lady�?" Robert said, but Andrea shook her head.
"Since that is settled, why don't you
join me on the roof, maybe we can smell the X5's that are after Max and Andrea,
as for you two, keep an eye out, the Red's are still out there." Robert
said as he went over to the room where Logan had set up
"I'll be up in a minute." Robert
said as he ducked in.
"I've got the transfusion equipment, but
I need a blood sample first, to see if Max has flushed out of your blood yet, so
hold still." Robert with laser-like precision, he swipes a knife, barely
catching Logan, but drawing a sliver of blood.
"Hey! That hurt, what are you
doing?" Logan said as he rubbed the cut on his face.
"Seeing if it's safe." Robert said
as he cut his own hand, before the wound sealed itself a single drop of blood
hit the blade. The blood came into contact with the blood on the blade, and they
mingled, until Robert rubbed it off with a cloth.
"So what does this mean? Why was that so
important you had to slash my face?" Logan said, wondering what Robert was
doing.
"If Tracker and X5 genetics come into
contact, they react violently, and the blood is the equivalent of acid. That
stuff will eat through your entire body, the genes start ripping themselves
apart, and you would die, but it's safe now. I'll set the transfusion up for
tomorrow, you'll need rest." Robert says as looked at what Max was doing.
"Why the secrecy, Max would want to be
there for me. Is there something I should know about?" Logan said, puzzled
at Robert's secrecy.
"The results of the transfusion might be
rather �unpleasant, you see, and Max would be horrified, but if you want to
walk, Jon's blood is your best shot. The process will take anywhere between two
and twenty-four hours for it to fully take effect, at the end of that period you
will have full control of your lower half. I've set it up with Jon and Bling
that you are at the doctor's, undergoing a new surgery. She can't see you
because Lydecker still has her picture floating around at your hospital, so it's
best she not appear, I'll say Jon's keeping an eye on him, he'll really be
checking for traces of X5 kids. The first little while will hurt like a bitch,
believe me I know, but after that you should feel sensations in your legs and
feet. I suggest you spend some time with Max tonight, reassure her that you love
her, don't hide it, this nose knows, and enjoy your last day of being stuck in a
chair." Robert said as he left, leaving Logan to his own devices.
*******
"Took you long enough, what were you
doing anyways?" Jon said as he stood on the roof of the building, sniffing,
searching for a scent, a trace of the X5's.
"I was checking Logan, her blood is out
of his system, it's cool, we'll do it tomorrow, and feed some bullshit to Max
about how he's at the doctors, trying a new surgery to restore his legs. We'll
keep her busy, and by the next day, Logan will be able to walk like the rest of
us." Robert said as he took in a deep breath, searching for familiar
scents.
"I see, what's your angle on this, why do
you want to see this guy walk so much?" Jon said, wondering what Robert's
angle was in all this.
"The man dedicates his life to fighting
corruption and drug dealers, he can't walk, he spends his time locked away being
the high-minded protector of society. Max want's to be with him, and they
deserve each other, but he's obsessed that he holds her back when he's in that
chair, so I'm just helping them along." Robert said as he poured the Jack
Daniels into two glasses, then hands one to Jon, they both down a significant
portion of their glasses.
"Why you 'ol softy, since when were you a
matchmaker, or a hopeless romantic?" Jon said, elbowing Robert in the ribs.
"Fuck off, if I can't be happy, those two
might as well, Max has found out that seven of her siblings are captured, and at
least three are on her trail. If I were in her position, I'd be glad to have
someone like Logan to have support from. As for Logan, I said before, and, he
couldn't have asked for anyone better, she's smart, brave, and beautiful, what
more can I say?" Robert said as he drank more, and just stood there.
"I'd say you were looking to make your
own love connection, what about Andrea, she's cute�" Jon said, hinting
that it was time Robert got back in the game.
"I would hardly think that, if you
haven't forgotten, ANY X5 and Tracker bodily fluids coming into contact is a
violent reaction, sex would kill her. I doubt if she fell into heat, she'd
bother me about a condom after all." Robert said, as he thought back to
her, and then dismissed it. But if your own genetics weren�t on the fritz,
could it work?
"Ah yes, the curse of the Tracker, no
genetically enhanced superwomen for us, we must settle for plain old stock, that
only lasts 70-80 years, fuck, ITS NOT FAIR!" Jon yelled, Robert knew it
bothered him to, he would outlive Kendra by centuries, forcing him to find new
woman constantly, eternally.
"You think I fucking like this? If there
were any more Trackers, woman Trackers, we would be free and clear, but we are
cursed to be the only two successes, it bears a heavy load on one's soul does it
not?" Robert said, knowing they were both burning on the inside about their
super-genetics, making normal life impossible in every sense.
"Yes, but on the bright side of things my
friend, I've got all the time in the world to beat Wilt Chamberlain's record of
screwing 20,000 chicks." Jon said, laughing.
"Ah yes, you and your dick, if you're not
thinking with it, you're thinking for it." Robert said as he drank more of
the Jack Daniels.
"Hey, if I can't fuck, I kill people,
there's something enjoyable." Jon said as he smirked, standing on the edge
of the building.
"Ah yes, your two passions, plus
drinking, and making smart-ass remarks. That reminds me, Max doesn't appreciate
your sexual humour, so you best be dropping it, before she drops you."
Robert said as he sat on the edge of the building, and made another sniff,
looking for a familiar scent.
"I can't stop what I love, are sure my
joke just wasn't out of context? She may have gotten the wrong meaning behind
that joke�" Jon said as finished the last remnants of the whiskey in his
glass.
"You try, I'll watch, then Max shows you
what they taught the X5. While we are on the subject, we may want to pace Max
and Andrea through some of our own combat manuvers, they are ten years out of
practice, and those new kids probably know far more about fighting than they do.
I'll show them how to maximize their speed and agility, using our combat
manuvers, they should adapt to them quickly." Robert said as he reminded
Jon of the combat manuvers that they had studied throughout the years.
"Ah yes, a good refresher course should
teach them well, Delta Force taught some mean techniques especially, pushing
strength and speed to absolute limits. They will need to know this stuff if they
are going to equal their brethren in combat, what do we do until then?" Jon
said, as he checked the bottle, but was disgusted that it was empty.
"Do you smell that?" Robert said, as
he took in a deep breath, trying to identify a new scent.
"Yes, it's an X5, but it's not Max, or
Andrea, nor those other X5's we fought earlier, or any of the other's I have
encountered, what do you suggest we do?" Jon said, as he detected the
unique scent of an X5.
"Let's track it, whoever it is, they are
moving around, but we can still track them, let's see where the night takes
us." Robert said as they headed downstairs, grabbed their trench coats,
their sidearms, glasses, and walked off into the night, looking for their prey.
*********
"Max, you've been awfully quiet about the
rest of us, what's going on, how many of us are still free?" Andrea asked,
they were sitting down, talking, and Andrea approached the subject once again,
and Max could no longer dodge it.
"I didn't want to tell you this, but
there are only five of us left, even Zack is captured." Max said, as she
patted Andrea's back, but she knew nothing would help her with what she had just
revealed.
"Zack? They have Zack, is there any hope
for us? Our own brothers and sisters are hunting us down now, what do we do? I
was always hoping the twelve of us would reunite one day, raid Manticore, and
shut it down forever." Andrea said as she rocked herself, absorbing the
news.
"I don't know, I was hoping for that to,
Zack would have led us, and we would have freed Lydecker's other projects, and
burn Manticore to the ground. I see
Robert and Jon as the ones who will stop Manticore, they'll rescue the rest of
us, then burn the place to the ground. Robert has a strong sense of duty about
him, and he rubs off on Jon in that way, those two will be the guardians of X5,
I can feel it." Max said as she tried to provide relief to her sister.
"I was glad they appeared when they did
at Logan's, I was afraid they'd take us back to Manticore, and turn us into
Lydecker's little soldiers." Andrea said, fearing for what was to come.
"Let's put that behind us, we also have
the Red Series to deal with, and there are some other things you should know as
well, let me begin from the start." Max said as she told Andrea of her
encounters with Lydecker, the capture of Brin, and what it could mean for the
rest of X5. She told Andrea of the Red Series, the invincible soldiers with
great strength, who could not feel pain, and what they wanted of them.
"It seems you've been busy here in
Seattle, why don't you just run away, go to Canada, they would never find you
there, you could lead a normal life there." Andrea said, as she took in the
news.
"I would, it's just with my friends,
Original Cindy, Kendra, Sketchy, Herbal, and Logan, it just doesn't seem right
to leave them." Max said.
"Of course, I understand, why not bring
them with you, you could all etch out a better living there." Andrea said,
wondering why Max was so insistent on staying here.
"They don't just let anyone through the
border, I could get over the fences, but my friends don't have acrobatics behind
them. It's also Logan, he could never come, his crusade as Eyes Only would hold
him here, so I'm here, I'll stay with him until his crusade is at an end."
Max said.
"You love him, don't you?" Andrea
said, wondering how involved Max was with Logan.
"I do, I can feel it, I've wanted to be
with him for a long time now, but it took Robert's sense of smell to point it
out, that we should try it, or it will blow up in our faces. We're together now,
but it won't go to a the next level for a long time, Logan feels he's holding me
back with his injury, and he's too damn proud to accept help with it. I just
hope he'll realise it's not holding him back one day, and he can move on."
Max said.
"I see, I want to know, I'm sort of
interested in Robert, what should I know about him?" Andrea asked.
"I'd suggest stopping that thought
process then and there, Tracker and X5 genetics are incompatible, according to
the test files. When they spliced the two together, the X5 died on the spot, his
body ripped itself apart, they labelled the genetics incompatible, and dropped
the idea of incorporating the two. I'm not sure what would happen should you and
Robert have relations without his package wrapped, but it could kill you, you
would also never be able to have children, because your child would spend forty
years growing the womb thanks to healing genes Robert would pass on. He�s also
about as dark, disturbed, and violent as you can get, so if you're looking for a
fling, look elsewhere." Max said, cutting off Andrea from thinking about
Robert in a romantic detail.
"I see, is there any way around this,
some sort of gene that makes them reject each other?" Andrea said,
wondering what was up.
"I don't know, that's what the files say,
they could never figure out why this violent reaction happened, Robert said
something about a genetics lab
analysing his code. He hopes to treat that gene, so he can use his genetics to
cure us of our seizures, if that works, you two could have something
going." Max said as she pondered the possibilities.
"I hope, I really want to get to know
him, he's handsome, he can hold his own, and smart, I'm going to get some sleep
now, going to spend some time with your boytoy?" Andrea said as she yawned
and got up.
"Will you kindly call him by his name,
and yes I will, now if everyone would get off my case, I would like to spend
some time with Logan." Max says as she gets up, and walks away.
*******
"Is the Eyes Only informant closed for
tonight, or is he still accepting visitors?" Max said as she comes up
behind Logan and massages his shoulders.
"Exceptions can be made." Logan
replied as he grabs her and pulls her down into a kiss.
"I see, shall we adjourn to the couch, or
is the chair made of titanium?" Max said as she kissed him back.
"The couch, I've not had the opportunity
to fix that yet." Logan said as he wheeled himself to the couch and used
the massive strength he had built up in his upper body for being in the chair,
and lifted himself out of it and onto the couch.
"Flex those muscles, you know women go
wild for that sort of thing." Max said playfully as she sat on the couch
and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"I was hoping it would have that effect
on you." Logan said as he pulled her closer and deepened the kiss.
"Yes, well, call me a sucker for a
crusader of the downtrodden." Max said as she came onto Logan's lap, he
felt her presence, due to the feeling returning in his legs, but he hid it, not
wanting to reveal anything.
"I'd hardly call that a fault, for it
works for me, it works for you, who is complaining?" Logan said as he
caressed her sides.
"Jon would, he'd probably want to watch
the show." Max said as she laughed at such a thing, and Logan joined in it
too.
"He might complain when it only goes
PG-13, he might throw popcorn at us." Logan said as he gently ran his hands
down her back.
"True, but let's just try and enjoy the
evening." Max said as she set her head resting on Logan�s shoulder, and
let his hands work all over her body.
Take
it easy Logan, the day after tomorrow, you'll be up and about, and the last
barrier between you and Max is gone, forever. Logan
thought as he stroked her back as she gently worked his own tired muscles with
her hands.
The two stayed together the whole night,
sharing simple kisses and touches, and fell asleep in each other's arms.
******
"What have you gathered, if anything, on
the targets?" Lydecker said as Jack,
Emily, and Anthony stood at attention.
"We have confirmed that the two X5's are
still in the city, thanks to your military controlled checkpoints, but their
location is unknown. The apartment the two were originally located is vacant,
and no trace of where they might be going was recorded by any of the bugs. We
however have found a situation you may want to deal with first, it concerns a
South African group. This is the group that creates the Red Series, they want
Manticore DNA to stabilize their men so they can tolerate the implant much
longer, they are willing to do anything to get their hands on an X5." Jack
said, he had led a Tactical squad to raid the apartment, but found nothing,
through his patrolling, he had found out about the Red Series, and deemed them a
serious threat.
"Damn, those South African sons of
bitches are after you kids, I'm going to call in additional support, find out
what you can about their location, but do not engage. I will not risk losing any
of you to them, we can't let Manticore technology be captured by any foreign
power. We will have to push up the time table to track down those two, the
sooner we get them and get back to Manticore, the better, those South Africans
will have brought many Red's, and they will not leave unless we force them to. I
want this operation to be complete within 96 hours, the others will join you in
18 hours, until then, scout and report in, but do not engage." Lydecker
said as he analysed the situation before him.
"We are ready for the task, is the
objective capture, or will lethal force be used?" Emily said, she was cold,
and ready to do anything to complete a mission.
"You are free to use any nonlethal tactic
to bring the targets in, lethal force is free against anyone who is
collaborating with them, or the South Africans, show no mercy against
them." Lydecker said, making it clear that they were to bring his kid's
home, but eliminate any resistance in there way to bringing them home.
"We will complete this mission, we are
X5, the targets are ten years out of training, and their genes are not fully
repaired, we will achieve this objective with ease." Anthony said as he
drew himself to his full height, saluted Lydecker, along with Emily and Jack, he
returned the salute, then dismissed them.
Damn
those kids for running away, they need my help to survive, they just don't
realise it. They need to come home, serve with their siblings, and live the way
they were trained, as soldiers. They will come home soon enough, 3 against 2,
and five more are coming in, in case anymore of the escaped try and help them,
all they'll do is get captured, and we can recondition them, make them soldiers
again. Lydecker thought as he watched his perfect soldiers walk out the door of
his office.
*******
Max
you're coming with me this time, no matter what. Zack
thought as he drove through the city on his stolen motorcycle, dodging between
alleys, trying to find her. He checked all of her usual haunts, nothing, she had
disappeared. he checked Logan's, he wasn't there either, his computer equipment
was gone, and the front door was broken down, serves the bastard right, he
finally got caught, Zack thought. He continued to search for Max, he could
find nothing. Out of the shadows, at the end of the street, were two men, both
wore leather trench coats, and mirrored sunglasses, they were big, and looked
ready for a fight. They took one look at him, and Zack knew they were after him,
so he ran, they chased, they were fast, but no one could catch an X5, and he
eluded them. They appeared for brief moments during the chase, almost as if they
were homing in on him, but he evaded, and got back to his motorcycle, and tore
off, fleeing for his life. Great, big guys
in trench coats are after me, what is Lydecker breeding at Manticore, they must
have been sent by him. I'll show them, I'll get Max, and we'll kick the ass, and
then we leave, go to Canada, and Max starts taking her duty seriously. Zack
thought as he continued to prowl the streets, looking for Max, as the hours
ticked by, he came no closer to finding her.
*********
"We've found them, there are two of them,
all seven of you will need to go in on this one, we retrieve them, and the
problems with the implants are over." Said the mysterious leader of the Red
Series, he recruited new members, and was the keeper of the implants.
"We are ready, but the one who defended
them before is superior, he has greater power, speed, and he cannot be hurt,
bullets run off him like water. The girls will be easy, but he will not, I want
guarantees that he can be dealt with." Said the lead Red, a man with a
shaved head, and an intense manner.
"We've analysed the information you gave
us from your botched job on dealing with them, he took great pains to avoid your
weapons fire. The man you encountered must have a limit of firepower he can
absorb, use that against him, enough firepower will surely kill him." Said
their leader, and he walked away, leaving the Red's to discuss amongst
themselves.
"We must complete this mission, if we do,
we will be enhanced by this mission, we can survive the implant for years, we do
this job, we live!" The lead Red said, raised his fist, and the others
joined him in the symbolic gesture, than they left, heavily armed, and looking
for two X5's.
*********
"Can't believe that little bastard gave
us the slip, we'll get him soon enough, no one is laying his hands on the X5's
while I'm around however." Robert said, bothered that the X5 had eluded the
two of them in the hunt.
"There's always tomorrow, you may want to
take a look at the weapons I procured for you, the UMP should be familiar
enough, but familiarize yourself with that H&K CAWS." Jon said as he
tossed the shotgun to Robert, and he looked it over.
"It's a bit heavy." Robert said as
he hefted it.
"But you're so big." Jon said,
smiling as he inspected his M4A1, mated to an M203 grenade launcher.
"I concede the point my friend, this
should be useful, I take it you'll need me to do some work on the grenade rounds
for that launcher?" Robert said as he pointed at Jon's weapon.
"That would be useful, it's hard finding
good grenades for this thing, the box for them is over there, the charge is
kinda weak, and you kind of owe me for the weapons I acquired for you." Jon
said, reminding Robert of his benefactor for new weapons.
"It is not forgotten my friend, but let's
keep it quiet, Max and Logan are trying to have some time to themselves."
Robert said, pointing to one of the back rooms.
"Really, maybe I should go see if they
need any help moving things along�" Jon said as he headed to the door.
A knife flew threw the air and buried itself
right next to the door, and Jon turned around.
"I think you won't be doing that, or do I
have to test my new toy out?" Robert said as he aimed his shotgun at him.
"You're no fun, you know that? I can't
have any fun around here when you're around, you've got that whole decency thing
going." Jon said as he turned away from the door, but plucked the knife out
of the wall, and threw it back to Robert, who caught it and put it back in it's
sheath.
"Call me old fashioned, I believe a man
and woman should be able to spend time with each other without obnoxious sex
maniacs bothering them." Robert said as he checked the slugs in his
shotgun's magazine.
"Let's just check our stuff, and get some
sleep, I have a feeling tomorrow will be a very long day." Robert said as
he put the shotgun back in it's case, checked the submachine gun, his sidearms,
then went into his room on the second floor. He brought his equipment with him,
not planning to get caught flat-footed should anyone attack.
Jon did the same, but as everyone slept
through the night, no one was quite prepared for what tomorrow would bring.
