Chapter 29

Leaving the guys to decide who would drive, GMN-6 made her way to the garage. The events today had been quite funny. She would bet that GMN-7 was still wondering why he turned invisible and 1 didn't. Truth was, 1 is a genius. She had some good brain on her head. Although she wasn't used to the fact they had all these, brains and stuff but it is what it is. She had given 7 a taste of his own medicine literally. Men! She would never mess with that girl.

Of course they had decided to play this like nothing is wrong but the fact is they were beginning to doubt certain things. More especially they were beginning to take sides.

From what GMN-3 observed and told them, GMN 5 and 7 were in league with Doc. She didn't see anything wrong with it at first until the drug incident then she began to see things in a different light. Why would Doc include them and exclude them? It raised a lot of questions just like appearance of reproductive organs. Yes, she had hounded 3 and 4 until they explained the mystery behind 7's third leg. Sensing the topic was uncomfortable for them, she had made them explain in details as payback for allowing her to mislead herself. Well it was 3 that actually did the explanation. 4 just sat there looking like he'd rather be somewhere else.

GMN-6 walked to the garage and waited for the others to catch up with her. When she saw the car GMN-3 had chosen, she had regretted her decision not to drive. She gushed at the car. She really loved the cars around this place. She turned to GMN-3 eyeing the key in his hand. He knew what she wanted but still ignored her and entered into the driver's seat. GMN-6 grumpily entered the passenger seat with a pout while GMN-2 got into the back seat. GMN-3 backed out of the garage and out of the facility.

"You drive like an old lady" GMN-6 complained grumpily

GMN-3 cast her a side way glance while 2 looked up from the file he was perusing. They both ignored her but she continued to whine and sulk. In other to save their sanity, GMN-2 suggested that 3 let her drive. Bad decision!

GMN-6 gleefully jumped out immediately GMN-3 stopped the car and grabbed the car key from him. She ushered him more like pushed him towards the passenger side and got into the driver's seat. GMN-2 sighed in relief. He bent down to the file again but saw GMN-3 from the corner of his eyes fasten his seat belt. GMN-6 did the same but he ignored them.

GMN-6 started the car and stamped the accelerator. The car suddenly lurched forward and so did GMN-2.

"What is it? What happened? " he asked in a concerned voice.

"Wanted to get your attention. Seat belts! " GMN-6 said

"Why? " GMN-2 asked

"Let's put it this way, I won't be held responsible for anything"GMN-6 said sweetly.

GMN-3 looked at her and tightened his this one she already throwing out a disclaimer. GMN-2 was still trying to comprehend what she meant by that when the car lurched forward and he fell back against the seat. This time the car didn't stop.

"Are we being chased!? " GMN-2 yelled trying to find his seat belt

"No! "GMN-6 replied

"Then what's wrong with you, why are you over speeding!? " GMN-2 asked more like yelled

"Because I'm simply mad! " GMN-6 said accelerating.

The file lay forgotten as GMN-6 sped like the devil was on her heels. She was reckless, taking turns as if they were a last minute decisions, accelerating for no just cause. They both held on to the car as they watched this crazy girl desperately trying to paint the road with their blood. Even when she entered the city she didn't slow down overtaking like a mad person. Some were very close calls. Other drivers cursed them as they sped by. Forget simply mad, she was a nut case, a maniac bent on killing them. They were lucky for not getting caught. Immediately she stopped the car they both fled out starring daggers at her.

"Keys! "GMN-3 demanded

"Come on gramps, it wasn't that bad" GMN-6 replied

"Now! " GMN-2 said. She was crazy if she thought he would put his life again in her hands.

GMN-6 handed over the car keys to GMN-2 who was closer. He snatched it away from her. She consoled herself, she had her fun. She'd make sure she has her own car next time.

They walked towards the house. On the gate was a very bold notice that read 'gone to country house'. They looked at each other. Why did they suddenly take off to their country house. They couldn't remember seeing the location of the country house in the file. Since they were there they decided to check the house to see if they could find the box.

The house was looking unkept, the wondered how someone could live here. GMN-6 pushed the gate to open it. Something pricked her fingers. She quickly removed her hand. She felt something pierce her skin but didn't feel any pain as usual. She looked at the blood sipping from the wounds. She shook her head and wiped it away. She didn't understand who would put hidden spikes on a gate.

"We need to be more careful." GMN-2 said

GMN-3 led the way, kicking the gate open. They made it to the front door. GMN-3 was about to try the door but stopped. He took a piece of clothe littered on the floor and tried the door but it was locked. He would have broken the door if he didn't suspect a hideous alarm system. Seems like they'll have to use a window.

They scanned the house, sure there was an open window but it was at the top floor. They actually thought that whoever would want to break in wouldn't be able to reach it. Too bad for them because height was useless. GMN-3 checked the wall, finding nothing they proceeded to climb.

If outside was a mess, the inside was disaster and for the umpteenth time they wondered how anyone could live here. The house was big, booby traps everywhere but no box and certainly no twins. Of course the door had been channelled to electrocute anyone who touched the knob. They exited grabbing some things they thought might prove useful. It seems like they'll have to contact Doc for the location of their country house. Their guess was anywhere the twins were, so would the box.

They got into the car and tried the car phone.

"Doc? They're not here" GMN-6 said immediately it connected.

"Where are they? "Doc replied

"They left a note, big notice actually saying they were off to their country house " GMN-6 replied.

There was a pause at the other end.

"This is not good" Doc said. This wasn't good. They were in town a few days ago. This could only mean, someone had tipped them off and she bet she knew who. She needed to get that box but then so did many other people especially members of the order. Following them to their so called country house would be a lesson in suicide but she needed that box.

"Come back to the facility" Doc said disconnecting the call.

This was very bad. Doc thought as she paced her office. She couldn't let any other person get their hands on that box. It would be a game changer and she wasn't about to lose this game.

"Deccan get all the GMNs back here! "Doc ordered through the intercom.

"Where did they go? " Deccan sounded confused but Doc had already cut the connection.

It wasn't a matter of where the went but where they were going to. Pressing another button.

"Get me the location of the twins country house! " she commanded the tech guys.

She picked up her private phone.

"Think you can get the best of me? " Doc asked

"From the sound of your voice it seems like I did a very good job" the voice of the female member of the order that likes antagonizing Doc replied.

"You want the box? " Doc mocked

"Everybody wants the box, the point is who's going to get it" the woman replied

"Sabotaging me won't get you the box! " Doc shouted. She was losing control of her temper and who wouldn't. She had been so close.

"It won't? "The woman replied mockingly and cut the call.

Aaah! Doc screamed. She would never let her get her hands on that box. She had a lot of things to do. She contacted the tech guys

"Trace this number! "

She was going to kill that bitch and the sooner the better. She was still pacing when a bullet flew past her head, shattering the glass and embedded into the wall behind. Doc looked up and the blood in her vein chilled. Oh no!
