She runs and she runs but she never stops. She was trained to be in an army
and work together but she managed to escape. Escape into a world of her
own. "They are here," said the voice. "They are looking for you, Hide!"
"MM" Max woke up and found herself in a nice hot bubble bath that she made
herself. Max heard the phone ring. She was so touched by the fact that
Logan was the caller.
"Hey Max! We have a problem. Two mariners were kidnapped yesterday. I'll
explain the details later. Come over here quickly!"
"Two mariners were found missing and I'm supposed to find them. My missions
get worse and worse by the day!" she complained. "Geeze Logan don't you
have anything better to give me."
"Max, this is no time for your sarcastic jokes, get over here quickly!"
"Who said I was being sarcastic?" she asked hanging up the phone. She
brushes her hair and she turns on her motorbike and she speeds off. Two
mariners handcuffed walk past and it wasn't police who were holding them.
It was someone else. "Looks like I have to start my mission before I even
get the task!" she said as she kicked the two men butts.
"It was nice of you to bring your two friends along!" Logan said
sarcastically
"These aren't my friends. They are the two mariners that went missing the
other day!"
" Congratulations! But your task is not finished yet!"
"What a surprise!"
"Look at the two mariners necks at the back. What do you see?" he asked
her.
"How come?" she asked not too curious.
"Rub it with water!" he said. Max gave them both a cloth and they came off
very easily.
"Why do they have it?"
"We thought it would be funny if we put some barcodes on the back of our
necks and think of us as an item." They explained.
"Logan, they are after me aren't they?" she said dreamily.
"We are not sure!" he said firmly.
"Duh they are! Don't lie to me Logan! They are after me!" Max showed no
emotion. She was like a rock.
"You do not know that Max! Do not jump to conclusions!"
She remembered something then. The little dream she had in the bathtub.
Herself as a kid said that she should hide and not fight. She was thinking
and she didn't hear Logan talking to her.
"Max, I found the place, could you get and check it out?" Logan asked.
"Huh? Yeh sure whatever" said Max. "Where is it?" Max asked.
"It's near the post office. The M.A factory."
"M.A? What the hell is that supposed to stand for?"
"Nothing. It's just a name! Go check it out."
"Let these lunatics out!"
Max kicks the guards butt out of her way and she enters the building using
the guard's security pass. She steps inside with two other people. They
enter first. As soon as she enters the alarm starts ring and she runs but
she cannot hide. They've trapped her but they have not seen her yet. 432 is
here, is all she could hear them saying. She was 432 and they were out to
get her. Was she gonna fight like the Dark Angel she is, or was she gonna
hide like she said when she was young?
