Zac
Lincoln pushes me in front of him and pushes me into the jeep. Now that I think about it, he was the driver, but then where did Colton come from. My thoughts are interrupted by Martin.
Zac? He's really starting to bother me.
What! I snap.
The trucks are back and something is wrong with Kiera. The blinding pain comes again, but I just grit my teeth and continue.
What do you mean wrong.
I mean the serum hasn't worn off her yet like it has the others.
Maybe it just takes time.
No Zac, it's set for a certain duration.
Don't tell me she's-
I think she might. Is all he says
I'm sort of in a situation right now.
I know Kaine sent someone to find you.
I'll be there soon enough. I hear a chorus of Zacs but I just ignore him and sit back enjoying the outside weather.
Kiera
I couldn't sleep so I got uo and walked towards a hole in the trailer. I pressed my nose againist it smelling the blood tinted air. I also picked up a conversation going on between Kaine and Martin.
"He ran away." Kaine says.
"I don't think he ran away." Martin replies.
"Then where is he." Kaine shouts. Martin doesn't respon so Kaine goes on. If he's not back in twenty minutes I'm sending a meta after him.
"I'm sure there is a perfectly good explanation."
"This isn't science Martin, it's a teenaged boy's mind."

Zac
When we are close enough to the trailer, Colton ties my hands behind my back and gags me. Lincoln stops the jeep and Colton pushes me out. I land on my face in the grass before Colton pulls me up. Colton's R02 is still pressed againist my back as we walk to Kaine. We walk through the trees and stop right behind Kaine and Martin.
"Kaine I found your soldier, lost in the woods." Lincoln says refering to my lame excuse. Kaine and Martin turn around. When they notice Colton has a gun to my back they reach for theirs. Now Lincoln and Kaine are pointing their wepons at each other and Martin has his pointed at Colton while Colton's is pretty much shoved up my spine. We seem to be at a stand still.
"Lincoln what are you doing?" Kaine asks.
"We want our kids back." He demmands waving his R02 around.
"You mean Connar and Skylar?" Kaine asks. He nods. "Well gentlemen I'm afraid I can't do that."
"You took our unborn children from us." "And nobody seems to care, the police are to busy dealing with rebels and riots to notice you."
"No I do recall giving you a choice."
"You said that our babies could die if you didn't try to save them."
"Yeah and you had to choose between giving him to me and not." "You should be lucky all the other familes think that their children are dead." Lincoln looks really mad. I know all about what happened thirty years ago when Kaine decided he wanted soldiers. He went to hospitals pretending to be a doctor and told expectent mothers that their babies would be premature if he didn't run some tests. Most of the parents believed him and came to him every week. Once the baby was born Kaine injected it with a last dose and told most of the parents the child did not make it. After he couldn't get any more clients in the hospital he tried with toddlers.
"You lied to all of us." Lincoln says. "And his blood is on your hands." He nods to Colton who pushes me to my knees.
"Linc you know I can't let you do that." Kaine says. Just as he says that a bullet comes flying in my direction. It flies over my head and hits Colton. My eyes widen. What will I tell Skye. Lincoln puts a hand on his chest before falling to the ground as well. I barly hear the voice but Colton talks to me.
"Tell her I love her." He says, and then he's silent. Martin and Kaine holster their R02s and Martin comes to untie me.
"That was Skye's dad." I whisper to him.
"I'm sorry Zac but I couldn't blow my cover." He says Kaine motions for Martin to take me to the trailer. Martin grabs the back of my hsirt and pushes me into the trailer. He was still the same man, just now I knew I was realated to him.
