The Grand Scheme Of Things 4
Chapter 4
Max paced her cell repeatedly. At the moment she was in lock down so do speak. No training to do and Renfro wasn't pestering her. It would be another couple of hours before Alec would be back to her cell. So, she stood from her bunk and lifted it. She removed to bricks from the wall and placed them on her bunk and covered them up with her blanket. "You tired me out 494, " she said to herself as she pulled the bunk down. She poked her head through the hole where the bricks were and looked down. She smiled and went into the hole feet first and slides down the pipe and landed in the boiler room area of the basement. Carefully, she looked around and suddenly a man with long hair and a doglike face rushed at her, growling and barking.
"Easy...easy. Relax, big fella, " she carefully.
"You relax, little fella, " the man spoke.
"Wow, you can talk, " she said surprised.
"Wow, " the man mimicked.
"I...I didn't mean anything by I'vI've just...I've never seen anyone that looks like you before. So what happened? They put too much canine DNA in your cocktail?" she asked in a conversational tone.
He sniffed the air, "Cat. Cat in your cocktail."
Max shrugged, "Yeah well, don't' hold it against me."
He growled lightly
"I dig your teeth can I see 'em? Come on, let me see. I'm not going to hurt you, " she said with a gentle smile. She approacand and he snapped at her. "It's okay." He resisted then let her see them. She smiled, "Those are cool."
"You're an X5, " he said.
"Yeah, you can call me Max, " she offered.
She extended her hand and he just looked at it. She took his hand and shook it. He smiled and began to shake her hand back. She released his hand and started to look around.
She shook her head, "Nope. I named me."
"Father named me...Joshua, " he said.
Max stopped as if she just realized what he was talking about. "Father? You don't mean Lydecker do you?"
Joshua growled, "No, father...Sandman..."
Max narrowed her eyes, "Sandman named you?"
Joshua nodded.
She nodded, "Okay."
Joshua heard a noise and said, "Guard." He waved his hand at Max to instruct her to be quiet. He rushed to the inside window and pointed, "Guard."
Max walked over to the window and peered in. Realization dawned on her, "So they don't know you're down here?"
Joshua shook his head, "No."
"What about this Sandman father of yours?" she asked.
"Left me here...here I am, " Joshua explained.
Max looked confused, "He just left you here?"
Joshua nodded, "Made me, then left me. True enough."
"That's pretty whack, " she said sympathetic.
"He made us all. I was first...special. Then more like me...more like you...more people..." he pointed to the ceiling. "...up there people. Father lost in all the people. I'm here, waiting."
"It's too bad you don't have a room with a view. You know a window. I'm trying to find a way out of here, " she said as she looked around the room.
Joshua put a hand to halt her, "Ah, wait." He glanced through the hole in the wall. Then opened a panel underneath and smiled at her. Max smiled and said, "Thanks big fella."
Joshua smiled.
A few moments later they came up to a storage room. There were large storage crates piled by the wall with cans on top. Joshua walked over to one and removed the top to reveal a barred window. "Room with a view, " he stated. He and Max moved the top crate to floor and Max got on top of the others and tugged on the bars.
"This is gonna take a while, " Max asked.
Joshua shook his head, "Uh no, no exit. X7's in the forest."
"How many, " she asked solidly.
"One, " he sniffed.
Max looked out the window to the grounds and saw an armed X7 emerge from the woods. "Yep, there he is. I think I can take him, " she said.
Joshua shook his head, "Uh oh."
She looked at him with a lopsided grin, "Come on, there's only one."
"Lots of one, " he said shaking his head.
She looked back out the window and saw more X7's come out of the woods. "Oh, lots of ones, " she said looking back to Joshua.
Joshua nodded, "Pretty whack."
The X7's faced each other and stand still.
"What are they doing?" she asked curiously.
"Talking, " he said.
"I don't hear anything, " she said observing the X7's.
"I do, " he said touching his ear.
She realized what he meant. "Must be in the ultrasonic range."
"Bat, bat in there cocktail, " he said.
She looked back out to see the X7's finished talking. "I'll just have to wait till there's a gap between them to get through, " she said getting off the crates. She started to replace the crate when Joshua helped her. "Thanks, big fella, " she patted his shoulder.
Joshua smiled, "Your welcome."
"I gotta blaze. I'll be back tomorrow. Thanks for everything, Joshua, " she smiled as she held out her hand to him. He took her hand and shook it in return, "You blaze."
"See ya later, " she said as she jogged off leaving Joshua to himself, again.

Alec walked down the many halls of Manticore. He was on his way to get the 'protection' he and Max needed. It would be easy for him to get some he had his own blackket ket going with pretty much all the guards and most the medical staff.
He came up on a lab area and walked inside. He looked around and found his contact looking into a microscope.
"Steve, " Alec said cheerfully. "I got a favor to ask..."
Steve shot up from the microscope and rolled his eyes, "What ever it is no. The last time I helped I almost got myself killed."
"Come on Steve I just need some condoms, " Alec said walking toward him.
"Condoms, what do you need condoms for? The X5's have been paired off with breeding partners for procreation, " Steve said confused.
Alec's face cringed, "Please man, to sleep with the same woman over and over again gets old after a while."
"Who's you breeding partner?" Steve asked curiously.
Alec shrugged, "452 why?"
Steve raised his eyebrows, "The rogue? Somehow I don't think you'll get bored. She might show you a thing or two."
"She's okay, " Alec smiled.
"So let me guess, she doesn't want to get pregnant?" Steve asked going over to a counter.
"You guessed right, " Alec said walking over to lean on the counter Steve was getting the condoms out of.
Steve handed him a small box and sighed, "You didn't get them from me."
Alec slapped him on the shoulder, "You're a good man Steve." Alec pushed away from the counter and made his way to the door.
"Hey, " Steve said as Alec reached the door.
Alec turned and looked at him.
"What's she like?" Steve asked completely serious.
Alec knew what he meant. He wanted to know what she was like to get along with. Alec tilted his head for a moment, "She's different...interesting I guess you could say. See you around." urneurned and walked out before Steve could ask anymore questions.
