Lets go

Set during 'Blah Blah Woof Woof' When Donald Lydecker put up wanted posters for Max so he could take her back to Manticore. Zack runs to Maxs aid and gets her out of Lydeckers grip.

Max and Zack spend the night in Logans uncles cabin and have plans to leave Seattle for Canada in the morning.

The next morning Max phones Logan to make sure he is okay but Bling answers and tells Max that he is at a hospital and Logan is having an operation to save his life. Max storms out of the cabin and starts walking in direction for Seattles city centre.

"Max" Zack called after her as he runs after her.

"I'm going back" Max told him as she sensed he walk walking up behind her.

"No way" Zack disagreed

"I need to be there for him, he's my friend"

"The mission is to get you over the border and into safe territory" Zack reminded her.

"Yeah, well i'm changing the mission" Max replied

"Don't be carzy...Lydeckers got the entire city looking for you" Zack turned to stand infront of Max.

"Out of my way or i go through you. What's it gonna be?" Max warned looking Zack right into his eyes.

"You gonna take me on, huh Maxie?" Zack said before he grabbed Maxs jacket and added "Go ahead"

Max goes to pull away but Zack pulls on Maxs jacket and she turns to fall into his embrace as he holds his arm around her shoulders. "Get your head in the game soldier" Zack told Max then he pushed her to the ground.

Max jumps up into the air and does a backward flip over Zack. He goes to throw a punch at Max but she grabs his arm. Both of them throw punch after punch and kick after kick, each of them blocking the attack.

Max pulls Zack closer to her, so she is right in his face "Think i'm not in the game" Max asked as she kicked herself away from the ground. Spining in the air holding Zack. He hits the hard impact of the ground.

"Think again" Max added softly

Zack looked up at her and nodded "Okay" Max pushed him, stood up and begain to walk in the direction for Seattle city centre.

"Do what you want but don't think your gonna make it back outa of" Zack called to her as he slowly got to his feet.

Max turned to face him, her eyes slightly watering "your throwing away your freedom" Zack softly told her and thats when a single tear fell.

Zack rushed to Maxs side "Maxie what's wrong?" he asked sounding concerned but Max looked away from him.

He stood infront of Max and wiped away the tear gently with his thumb "Max talk to me" Zack said and Max looked up at him.

"I don't know what to do Zack, I want to go back but i want to go with you" Max replied.

"You have to chose Max but if you go back you will get caught" Zack softly replied

"But if i go i won't see Cindy again and she's my girl. She knows all about us and she understands..." Max talked

"Max" Zack tried to but in and failed.

"...I won't have someone like that if i leave Seattle" Max.

"Max" Zack tired to get her attention.

Zack moved closer to Max, lowered his head to hers and looked straight into her deep brown eyes and whispered "Iff you leave...you'll have me" Hearing this Max smiled and closed the gap between them for an elegant and tender kiss.

"I love you" the two X5's said in unison once they had broken apart.

"How did you know i had feelings for you?" Max asked

"Cindy let it slip once when i came to make sure you were okay" Zack answered and Max smiled up at him.

"Lets go, Can i still call Cindy?" Max asked as she took Zacks hand in hers as they walked back to the cabin to collect their things.

"Of course and when everything cools down we can even sneak a visit to see her" Zack answered.

"She'd like that" Max smiled.
