Chapter 15: To the Rescue

I sat in the back of some pick up truck solemly going back home. There is no point in staying in Virgina. I might as well go greet my family and tell them about where I have been. "Are you hungry back there?" The man who was driving with his wife asked.

"Nah my appetite has been shot."

"You need something to eat. We have been driving for 2 days."

"I'll be fine."

"We can't let him starve." The woman whispered.

"I asked him. You just heard me ask him." The husband groaned

"We are feeding you anyway." The woman yelled.

They stopped at a gas station. I curled up under the blanket. Why didn't I wake up quicker.

The pick-up truck started to move back and forth. As if someone is trying to get in. If it's a police officer then they will take the bombs. FUCK.

It slowly opened and I braced myself. The blanket was yanked off. Jeanine glared at me with her hands on her hips. "You look a mess."

"Shut up. Why the fuck are you here?" I frowned.

"I came to help your sorry ass. I wanted to explain myself I really do lo-"

"Save it. I just want to go home."

"Ava is fine by the way."

"Jean why do you keep following me. I said leave."

"Did you know she was born with her mutation?"

"JEAN I SWE-"

"That means she has her whole life to live. Just thought you should know." She smirked. "What's in that bag?"

"Ava's things."

"Do you want to save her?"

"Is that even an option at this fucking point. Lane wants me dead. I have no way in. In fact I don't know where they even ARE."

"Yes you do."

"No I don't."

"Grandpa's house. You went there before Sonia kicked your ass."

"Thats why there were so many black vans?"

"How else do you kidnap people and take them quickly and quietly?"

"Why are you helping me? Isnt that where you work?"

"I want to see you happy" She said climbing aboard. She sat next to me .

"Ava is fine right?

"Some what. She's in a cell and training her body."

"Isn't she already -"

"For kids of course. Her dad wants to see what a born mutant and a made mutant can make."

"So Ava and Lane?"

"Or any made mutant with a penis and sperm. Mr. Bunte doesn't care. Ava seems to have lost her spunk to fight. After the fight Lane and her had... I wouldn't even call it a fight....."

I suddenly got frustrated. "Leave me alone Jean. I don't need to know this."

"Wait what?"

"Everytime you show up. Dumb shit starts happening."

"Wait that-"

"Sonia, Mr. Bunte, Lane, what's next? I get killed? Wouldn't be surprised."

"TJ I di-"
