Sick

Chapter: 1

By: ash2009

It has been two months now since the government came out and told the public about Manticore and that the tangencies are not a threat. Alec was happy about it. He was so happy that he jumped up and down cheering. Max just sighed in relief. She did her job and kept everyone safe. She and Logan were not dating anymore but both were okay with it. They had found new lovers. Max was with Cindy and Logan was with Alec.

"Max have you seen Alec?" asked Normal.

"No why? What's going on?" asked Max.

"He has not shone up for work today," said Normal. He was still a really big fan of Alec and the fighting.

"Sorry Norm haven't seen him..." started Max but Norm cut her off.

"Well since we are short one man everyone will have to help out longer."

Max growled and said, "But when I do find him I am going to kick his ass!"

"Calm down Max," Soothed Cindy "There might be a good reason for him not showing up."

"Okay people! Back to work! Those packages wont deliver themselves! Bip! Bip! Bip!" yelled Normal in his annoying way.

...........................................................................................................................................

"Man that Alec is going to get it when I find him!" growled Max.

She was still upset and had to work three extra hours to deliver some of Alec's packages.

"Uh Oh. Something's wrong. Here comes Logan and he looks to be upset," said Cindy.

Max calmed down and looked in the direction Logan was coming.

"What's up?" asked Max.

Logan sat down next to them and ordered a tall glass of beer. He drank down half before he began.

"It's Alec. Something is wrong but I don't know what..." trailed off Logan.

"What happened honey," asked Cindy

"Well I haven't seen or herd from Alec all weekend. He wont return my phone calls and I cant find him anywhere. Do you think he dumped me or is sleeping around again?" asked Logan.

By just hearing this Max's temper fired up again. She cared for Logan like a sister and no one was going to hurt him!

"I don't know but I sure as hell am going to find out!" was Max's last words before she stormed out of the bar.

Cindy and Logan looked at each other and quickly fallowed her.

......................................................................................................................................

"Alec!" yelled Max as she pounded her fist on his door.

"Alec open this damn door!"

When she got sick of pounding on the door with her hands she used her foot and busted the door down.

Both Cindy and logan gasped in surprise. She shattered the door. It could never be put back together. They fallowed Max into Alec's apartment but stopped at what they saw.

The room was kept clean and everything was organized. The one thing that surprised them both was what was on the bed. There was a big bundle of blankets that was shivering. They walked over to the bed and saw Alec laying there.

"Alec?" asked Logan.

Alec did not even react just kept shivering. All helped unravel him from the blankets so they could help him. It was plain to see that there was something wrong with him.

After uncovering him they laied him on his back. Max lifted his eye lids to see if there was any reaction. There was none. Alec began to shiver violently.

"No," he moaned.

"C-cold..."

Alec opened his eyes a crack when Cindy cupped his checks soothingly.

"C-cold..." He repeated

"Yes I know honey. I need to ask you some questions. Can you answer them for me?" Asked Cindy.

Alec nodded.

"When did you become sick?" she asked.

"F-friday..." was his answer.

"Have you ate anything?"

"No. C-couldn't keep it down f-friday."

"Did you just become sick out of the blue?"

He nodded.

"Okay. We are going to help you. Just rest now," Cindy soothed.

Alec nodded again to let her know he herd her.

"Close your eyes and sleep."

Alec fought to keep them open though.

"It's okay. We will be here when you wake up," was the last thing Alec herd before he fell asleep again.

................................................................................

All were sitting in a chair around a small table.

"Max he's not getting better," Stated Cindy.

Max looked over at Alec and said to her, "His favor has broke."

"Hun you know the favor will come back in about three hours," Said Max's girlfriend.

Max sighed and looked over at logan. He just sat quietly looking at the table. He knew she was watching him.

"Logan?" asked Max.

"Do what you think can help him. I don't want to loss him," said Logan softly.

Max sighed again.

"Max what's your plan?" asked Cindy.

"The only thing I can think of is to give him back to Manticore. They would know what to do. This is not a human sickness so we cant help him."

All nodded in understanding.

"L-logan..." came a call from the bed.

All got up and went to Alec.

Logan sat next to him holding his hand.

"Water," requested Alec.

Logan picked up a glass with a straw in it and helped Alec sip.

"Alec. We can't make you better. The only ones that will know what's wrong is Manticore," said Max.

Alec lessoned quietly still not understanding.

"We have to give you back to Manticore so they can help you," finished Max.

"No!" Alec freaked.

He would have got out of bed if they didn't hold him down.

"Shh... We will come get you out after they help you," Soothed Cindy.

Alec was really week so they over powered him easily.

"Noooo! I don't want to go back. Please!" cried Alec.

"I'm so sorry," Whispered Logan as he held his lover down.

The stress was to much. Alec actually broke down crying.

Logan hugged him trying to sooth him.

................................................................................

They were all in a car with Normal driving. Normal didn't like the idea but knew it was for the best. Max, Logan, and Cindy were all in the back set with Alec over their laps. He was sweating really bad. Everyone knew he was getting worse. Soon they arrived. It was the middle of nowhere. About a mile away was the new Manticore building. Slowly everyone got out of the car carrying Alec. He was to week to walk. They ly him down in the dirt on a blanket. Max tied his hands in back of him and rolled him on his side so his arms didn't cramp.

"Please..." Moaned Alec, "Please don't leave me here."

Logan hugged him and said, "We will come get you after they help you."

Max put a gag in his mouth to make it look like he had been captured.

"Mmmm," moaned Alec in distress. He didn't want to go back. He would rather die.

When he saw them walking away from him tears welled up in his dark green eyes. He was scared.
