Reiks
Reiks ran, and every once and a while she would look back to make sure nothing was chasing her. When she wanted to, she could be quick and light on her feet.
Reiks burst through the doors of the skyscraper, panting. A few stop and stared at her; others just continued their daily routine as if she wasn’t even there. Reiks pushed past the Anthromorphs, focused on one goal and one goal only. It was then that she saw another administrator known Commander Gem. Most knew her as second command of KIN. Reiks had to admit, she and the leader of Kin were probably the only two she respected. Mainly, Commander Gem was a lot like Reiks, so the two stayed out of each other’s way and often got along well. “Commander….gem” she said, bending over, catching her breath. “Androids around the weapon shack” she said quickly, her eyes staring at Gem for some type of reaction. Instead, she laughed.
“Are you sure you sure? This is no sick joke is it?”
“No of course not” she snapped.
Commander Gem stared at Reiks curiously.
Reiks, do you honestly expect me to believe you? When’s the last time we were attacked?”
Reiks stared, astounded. “I…..I’m not sure”
“Exactly. Now run along, I have more important business to do” she said, waving her hand dismissively.
Reiks felt her blood boil. ”How dare she?” To think, I actually didn’t hate her!” she thought angrily. Reiks grabbed Commander Gem’s arm as she began to walk off. “Could you at least warn our leader? Then you’ll see I’m not joking. And if I so called am, you can give me any kind of punishment you want” she said, a determined look on her face. The two stared at each other then sighed. “What makes you so sure Reiks?” she questioned, one eyebrow raised. Reiks stood there, unable to speak then closed her eyes as she slowly began to tell her what she had witnessed. By the time she opened her eyes to meet Gem’s gaze, she still looked skeptical but a little more trusting. “Reiks…..” she muttered shaking her head, and walked off. Reiks stared after her. It wasn’t exactly a “I believe you” or “I don’t believe you” response. ”Please tell him…..”
