193 My Sandwich

It was an early morning for the students at military base two, however one of them was up and about before any other, although it wasn't even time for the students to have breakfast yet.

"Okay, I just have to make sure, I have everything with me!" Layla said as she slowly breathed in and out.

In her hand, she held a white envelope. While handling it, she had worn a pair of disposable gloves as well. She had repeated these steps multiple times in her head, and had done everything she could, so the note wouldn't be traced back to her.

She felt around the envelope making sure the nano stick was inside. 'These things are just too small, before the war they were a lot bigger, weren't they called usb sticks or something?' she thought to herself.

"Am I sure that I want to do this?" Layla said, talking to herself, "Everything that I'm going to do is against protocol, and if I get caught, I don't think even my mother can pull me out of this one."

Right now, she stood outside the third floor of the boy's dormitory area, also known as the VIP area for the male students. She took one step forward, but then she quickly turned and started walking back, but then after another two steps… she stopped again.

"I have to... if it wasn't for them… Quin and everyone else would have died back there. If I don't do this, who knows what will happen to Quinn." She shook her head violently and then once again headed back to the boys VIP area.

Once she had entered she made sure to check the hallways, she also checked the other rooms and areas to see if anyone was out and about already. Although it was early morning, and most students wouldn't be up yet, she still needed to make sure she wouldn't be seen.

After placing the white envelope on the floor just outside one of the doors. She stepped back towards the exit of the hallway right by the staircase. "No turning back now," She said, to give herself courage.

Using her telepathic ability, she pushed the envelope underneath the door and it was now on the other side. After that, she quickly ran down the stairs heading back to her room.

So far, for everyone, it has been a normal day. They ate their morning food as usual and then went to their morning homeroom classes. It was now lunchtime, after which they usually had their combat classes. At that moment Vorden, Quinn, and Peter were having lunch outside, when Quinn received a ping on his watch.

"First, before you are going to listening to this message, make sure that anybody around you is worthy of your trust, before I will continue, I'll give you a few seconds to decide if this is the case, and to go somewhere if it's not," Logan said.

Quinn looked around, he and the boys were outside on a bench with nobody else around. Vorden and Peter then huddled around Quinn to hear the message better, and to also make sure no one came close, they each kept an eye out to see if someone was approaching, so then they could quickly stop the message if someone came into earshot.

"Good," The message said as it continued to play. "I received some interesting information and it concerns Peter and your little problem. I suggest you gather everyone that knows about what Peter really is and bring them to my room. Because we are going to need everyone's help on this to get out of this mess. Oh, and if you could bring me a sandwich from one of the vending machines that would be good. You don't have to do this, of course, but it will be good for my brainpower and help me think better."

Although the tone of the message didn't sound very urgent, Quinn knew that if Logan was initiating contact with him, and was asking to bring everyone into his room it was a big deal.

Logan didn't like people coming into his room, so it must be important if he decided to invite a bunch of people to come into his room.

Logan was afraid that people might steal the ideas he had for his future inventions, or even accidentally destroy whatever he was working on. So, Quinn knew this made Logan really uncomfortable, so it must be a big deal.

"You heard him guys, you inform the girls and bring them to Logan's room," Quinn said looking at Vorden, "Peter it might be best if you go with him."

"What are you going to do, sir?" Peter asked.

"I need to get that sandwich," Quinn replied.

The group had split up, Vorden and Peter went to get the two girls, while Quinn went to get a sandwich for Logan.

However, Quinn didn't just split up so he could get a sandwich, he was actually going to look for Fex. With his nose, it wouldn't be difficult to find him, and he knew that if he informed Vorden about this he would be against it.

If it was something to do with Peter, he was sure Fex would help out.

The girls along with Vorden and Peter were patiently waiting inside Logan's room. The boys were quite calm, while Erin was nervously tapping her foot. Lately, she had been using all her spare time to practice her sword skills, yet she still didn't manage to achieve the same results as she did on the roof that day.

While Layla who was standing next to her felt a horrible bubbly feeling in her stomach. Her heart was pounding so hard she thought it was going to jump out of her throat. She really hoped nobody would trace the information Logan was about to share back to her.

"Can't you just tell us what this is all about?" Erin said annoyed.

"This is a very serious matter," Logan replied, sitting in his chair. He was currently playing with a trapezium style Rubik's cube made from metal. The inside used little small triggers to twist and turn the shape in all sorts of different directions. This made it multiple times harder than a standard Rubik's cube. Each time he shifted one of the pieces, a large mechanical sound would be made. "And I would hate to have to repeat myself again, so we will wait until everyone is here."

The room was silent and the only thing that could be heard was the shifting sounds of Logan playing with the mechanical cube. They waited and waited.

"Will you put that damn cube away?!" Erin shouted, "Before I shove it up you're…."

Just then the sound of the door opening was heard.

"Looks like they are here." Logan said as he put the cube to the side.

Quinn entered first and right behind him was Fex. As soon as Erin saw this she immediately stepped back, with a mixture of shock and annoyance on her face.

"Quinn, what the hell is he doing here?!" Vorden shouted, looking angry.

"Wait, I was the one that asked him to come here," Quinn said. "If it's something to do with Peter or the vampires, then he's going to be a big help. Remember he helped us out last time and he has stayed true to his words every time."

"Look I can tell I'm not wanted here," Fex said, "If you really want me to go, then I'll go."

"No, please stay," Logan said. "Quinn is correct, this matter is very serious and I do believe you will be a big help."

Since Logan was the one who had said it and invited them here, the others felt like they at least needed to hear Logan out, before they decided if Fex needed to be involved or not.

"Alright, but before we begin I believe Quinn you have something for me?" Logan asked as he held out his hand, "My sandwich?"

"Oh!"

Quinn then threw the packaged sandwich over to Logan as a mechanical arm went into the air and grabbed it. Unwrapping it for him and feeding him. They all sat there and watched Logan eat the sandwich, when he was finally done he turned to his computer.

"Let us begin!"
