All Chapters of FLUX: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Tom headed to the right side of the room and leaned against a wall while he watched the commotion. The pregnant ladies were all settled on the right side along with some of his other research prisoners. Anyone that looked like they knew what was going on was rushed along the left side of the room and disappeared through the double doors behind the desk. Guards were stationed all around with large guns at the ready and handguns in their holsters. They seemed friendly enough as they helped the crowd, but the sheer number of force they had among them made Tom wary.One pregnant woman cried out in pain and dropped to her knees. Tom rushed to her side along with another man in camo."Are you okay?" Tom asked."It's my baby. It feels like knives right here." She gripped her belly as her whole body tightened in pain."Alright, it's okay ma'am. We're going to get you to the doctor." The man in camo nodded to Tom and together they helped her up by her arms. "Right through these doors."Tog

"Morning!" Jack said.Lexi rolled over out of the light with a groan."Come on Baby Girl, let's get a move on." He handed her a bowl."Mmm- What is that?" She sat up and grabbed the bowl."Oatmeal. A safe house wouldn't be complete if it didn't have food.""It's not bad," she said around a mouthful."Finish up quick. We'll get you dressed and ready to go, then head out.""Do I have to wear those clothes again? They're too big.""Unfortunately, yes. I wasn't able to find travel clothes in your size. But, don't worry, once we find our transportation it will only be a few hours home."Lexi sighed. "Okay."Once they were ready, Jack shut down the safe house and they headed to the Surface. The sun was just coming up over the ocean. It cast a golden glow across the solar towers. The river ahead shimmered in the dark and light rays."That's pretty," Lexi commented as she adjusted her sunglasses."Imagine this, but without the solar towers and covered in green.""Green? Why green?

Alex stretched her neck as per her normal routine. Fifteen hours this time. Not really a record. She was feeling a little more lethargic than usual. She tapped the lights on and hit it three times in quick succession to get it to the dimmest. The lights went from dimmest to brightest. She shook her head and squinted against the light, smacking the table again causing the lights to go back off. Stupid automatic updates, always changing the way things worked. She tapped it once and the lights turned on dimly. She sighed. Why was everything so hard?She took to her normal morning routine then stared into the search bar of her mirror. She needed to see this. Just a little bit. She flicked at the screen, searching for men with beards. Faces filled the mirror with sorting items on the left. She clicked brunette and blue eyes. She scrolled through them looking through many faces. She clicked human next. None of them were him, but they did remind her of him. His cool blue eyes and dark brown

Alex awoke in her bed. Her whole body was sore. She couldn't even move her fingers. The adventure from the last few days hit her hard and she sobbed. It felt almost like a dream. More like a really horrible nightmare. Her insides felt raw and empty.She twitched her hand slowly towards the light sensor. Bright light filled the room with one click. The bright hurt her eyes and made her flinch, causing more pain. She tapped it two more times and the light dimmed."Ah, awake finally, I see." Henry stood over her. "I thought you would be up days ago. I do have your lover waiting for you, after all.""Leave him out of this," Alex hissed. "He's done nothing to you.""Well, except sleep with my wife.""I'm not your wife." Alex spat hoarsely and pushed herself upright."You are until you finish your contract. Let's be civil here." Henry sat down on the bed. "We can make a deal.""What kind of deal?" Alex glared at him with hard eyes. She would wring his neck if she thought she even had

Pseudo-daylight streamed through the windows. Alex covered her eyes and rolled over onto something fluffy, hard, and soft all at the same time. It groaned.Jack's arm came around and wrapped her body close to him. She uncovered her eyes and stared right down into his ice blue ones. Her hands pushed the bushy hair away from his face.A tear ran down her cheek and Jack took his free hand out and caught it. "What's wrong?"Alex shook her head. "It doesn't matter. There's nothing that can be done about the past. We just need to figure out what to do now."Jack nodded. He lifted his chin and kissed her on the nose. "You're the boss." His smile warmed her heart.She laced her fingers around the back of his neck and kissed him deeply. He kissed her back, softly at first and then growing stronger.She pulled back. "Where's your Vice?"Jack shrugged. "When Abigail helped me escape I forced some of the scientists to take it off me. I didn't want to approach Henry with it still on. Things
