Rating: PG-13

A/N: This is my first fanfic. Actually, my second, but my first was just humorous fluff. About Sela Ward and her Golden Globe. But back to the Story…

I am sorry this part is so short. I have already written a couple more parts. I think I am going to add the rest of the characters in later, gradually. This is exactly the kind of fanffic I never read, but this is the best I could do for now. May write another later.

BTW-Zach's POV. ** Zach's thoughts.

"Whatever It Takes" Part 1
______________________________________________________________

*I never meant it to turn out this way. I mean, it wasn't supposed to be this big-cause this much of a commotion. But even though it didn't go exactly as planned, it still worked. Like I told Max. It's my job to protect them. And I'll do whatever it takes.*

____2009-2 months after the breakout from Manticore____

*I gotta think of something. We aren't going to be able to run forever. We'll never last this long. This has gotta be really big.*
(Zach paces around an old abandon warehouse. He looks about 12, but still has the mentality of a 50 year old army general. He has on some ratty mismatched sweats he dug out of a dumpster in some small town in Idaho.)

*I got it. This has to work.*
I hide out in the warehouse for another couple hours, until it gets dark.

Then I slips out into the cold night and eventually find myself in front of a hardware store. It's been closed for about an hour-no signs of anyone anywhere. I ever-so-cleverly pick the lock on the back door of the store. It's less conspicuos. I slide in, and walk in a crouching position *just in case someone comes back* around the store and pick up the things I will need. I don't take too much though, just enough so that the owner won't notice. Then I slide them into my sweat shirt.

*This isn't going to be nearly enough. I'll have to raid another tomorrow night.*
