Chapter 9
"Oh Spider I was so afraid that I had lost you for good." Shriek said as he held Spider tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"I am a lot harder ter get rid o' then that love." Spider said as he hugged her, "Odd I missed yer..."
"I missed you too. How did you escape?"
"Well..." Spider said as he stood back up again and motioned toward Steinix and the Trackers, "It wasn't exactly an escape. We made an agreement."
Shriek whined and backed away. "What!?" she cried, "What sort of agreement? Your freedom in exchange for mine?"
"Shriek don' jump ter conclusions. Let me explain."
"Ok..ok..." Shriek said calming down, "explain then."
So Spider told her about the project and her eyes widened when he told her about the others.
"So...there are more like us?" she said.
"Yes, 10 others, 2 o' them are female. I have seen them myself." Spider answered.
"None of them are...aggressive are they?"
"Well...one is, but he knows better then ter try ter attack anyone, at least me and I won' let him touch yer."
"Alright...I'll come back will you and...them." she motioned at the others, "as long as we are allowed to be together."
"Don' worry, that has already been takin' care o' love." Spider reassuringly as he nuzzled her neck....
During the whole trip back to the Tracker camp Shriek stayed as close to Spider as she could, nearly causing him to trip a couple of times. Once at the camp Spider led her to a transport, but she refused to get in unless Spider got in first. After they were both in the pair curled up together in a corner and Steinix got in along with the Trackers once they have packed up their camp. They were then on their way...
"I wonder why we were moved to a another larger cell?" Hoth said, more to himself then the others.
"Probably so there would be enough room for Spider's ego...." Delta grumbled.
"That's not funny Delta."
"I wasn't trying to be funny."
Hoth groaned and so did most of the others; Delta has been in a sour mood ever sense Spider arrived. He knew Spider was up to something, something that the Master's agreed with him upon, but what he had no idea.
"The worse thing is..." Kilk whined, "Is that we can't see the girls anymore..."
"Yeah...how can we flirt with them if we can't see them?" Charr added.
"Is that all you two think about?" Felth asked.
"No." Kilk and Charr said in unison, both had mischievous grins on their faces.
"I had to ask..."
"Maybe..." Lunic said quietly, "they are...doing experiments...on them."
"You loony. The Master's haven't done experiments on us since Beta escaped." Charr said.
"Doesn't mean...they have...stopped doing them...completely."
"What are you trying to do? Scare us? Jeez shuddup!"
"Oh leave him alone Charr." Juk said, snarling briefly, "he can't help thinking the worst, it's how he is."
"And what are you going to do if I don't tough guy?" Charr said getting into Juk's face. "Punch me?"
"You are pushing it...." Juk growled.
"Enough you two...someone is coming." Hoth said.
They all moved to the front of the cell, looking to see who was coming. After a moment they saw Spider, who was being led by Stienix to them. Behind Spider they could see Invy and Echa, who both looked a bit bewildered. Then they spotted someone else...and it was a big shock. Walking close beside Spider where it was hard for them to see, was someone they thought they would never see again.
"Beta...?" Delta gasped....
