The Grand Scheme Of Things 3

Chapter 3



Half an hour later Alec walked down the hall in Max's cellblock. He approached her door, unlocked it and entered. He found her pacing her cell with...was that a scared face? He shut the door and faced her folding his arms over his chest.



"So what's with the meeting?" he asked curiously.



"I have a way to cover our asses, " she stated.



"The only thing that is gonna cover our asses is to do the mission, " he said bluntly.



"Exactly, " she said plainly.



This shocked him. 'Did I just here what I think I heard?'



"Can you get some protection, " she asked. She was slightly embarrassed about asking a complete stranger if he had protection so when they had sex he wouldn't get her pregnant. The whole aspect of having sex with Alec was both exhilarating and frightening. It was frightening because she'd be betng Lng Logan. It was exhilarating because he was desirable and she was lonely and desperately wanted some kind of companionship.



"Oh, I get it, we do it but with protection so you won't get pregnant. Sorry if I don't see how that's going to cover our asses, " he said with a slight smirk on his face. "If they examine me they'll be able to tell I've had sex recently and they won't think anything else about it for awhile, " she said desperately.



The look on her face tugged at his heart. He didn't know when or how he became infatuated with her, but he was nonetheless. Alec wasn't a Manticore loyalist. He did whatever means necessary to survive. Manticore kept a roof over his head and clean clothes on his back along with three square meals a day. Behind their backs he ran a black market within the walls of Manticore. It wasn't beyond him to do things out of line, but Max was. "I can get some protection, but I'm sure you already know this those things aren't exactly one hundred percent efficient, " he said with a lighter tone.



"It's our only way, " she said with sad eyes.



Alec sighed and unfolded his arms and headed for the door. "I'll see you tonight, " he said cocky.



"Tonight it is, " she said putting her hands in her pockets. "Is there a particular kind you like?" he asked trying to be serious.



If looks could kill he would be dead.



He put his hands up in defense, "I'm just asking." He quickly left her cell before she broke out a can of whoop ass on him. She stared at the closed door and wondered, 'What am I doing?'



She was stuck between a rock and a heartache. Alec was a major distraction. The fact that he looked exactly like Ben didn't help either. He was more distracting in the way he wasn't your everyday Manticore loyalist. There was something about him though, and it wasn't that he looked like Ben. He was nothing like Ben. They acted completely different. Ben was never cocky and arrogant like Alec. Whatever it was, it was much deeper.

"Director Renfro, when would you like X5-452 and X5-494's evaluation scheduled?" the doctor asked.



Renfro sat in her chair and leaned back, "At the end of the week pull both of them out of training and examine them at the same time. I don't want any way for either of them to deter the outcome of there examinations."

The doctor nodded and entered it on his pocket computer. "X5-452's tests I'll have back by the end of the week. So far I haven't found any evidence of Werner Syndrome."



Renfro stood from her chair and made her way to stand in front of the doctor. "Doctor, she's an X5. Her X7 copy is in the late stages of progeria. Besides, the specific X7 DNA sequencing she is an exact copy. Now, I want to know why X5-452 hasn't shown any signs of it, and her impeccable health state from being out on the outside for so long."



"Yes director, " he nodded.



"Now, do you have X5-494's specs back?" she asked.



"His will be back the same time as X5-452's, " he said.



Renfro went back behind her desk and leaned on it, "I want to be informed as soon as you get both their tests back."



The doctor nodded and left her office.



Renfro sat in her chair and pulled herself closer and looked down at two files on her desk marked X5-452 and X5-494.
