Disclaimer: I don't own Dark Angel, Max, Logan, etc. If I did why would I be posting stories here? Wouldn't I be off enjoying an obscenely large amount of money? All I've got is a bent penny.
Spoilers. Most of the first season including "AJBAC," but Max was never captured. Plus a few hints from the second season, although I've kinda played around with the time line.
A/N: This is my first fan fic. I've read a ton and decided that it was my turn to contribute. This happens with a modified "AJBAC," so everybody's still around. Please Review. I think this is the final chapter, but I may do a sequal if I ever find the time. Sorry that it took so long for me to get this completed.

CHAPTER 6
2:19 PM
STREETS OF SEATTLE: 43rd AND MAYBERRY
"This is it," Original Cindy announced as Jhondy stopped the motorcycle in front of a plain looking warehouse. "Can you hear anybody inside?"
"Just a minute." She quickly shut off the engine and sat there, just listening. After a moment she rolled her motorcycle to a hiding place and said, "Follow me, and try to stay quiet."
Confidently Jhondy made her way around some of the warehouses before finally coming to a stop. "I think this is the one. Follow me up the roof. I'll figure out a plan."
Jhondy silently pulled down a fire escape ladder and practically flew to the roof as Original Cindy did her best to follow. By the time that Original Cindy caught up Jhondy was standing over a skylight trying to think of a plan.
"There's Max. And I assume that that guy is Logan," Jhondy pointed. "Then we've got Sam and Evan. And I can't believe it, but I think that's Brin." The last comment was full of sorrow. After a momentary pause Jhondy commented, "Sam and Evan I could probably handle, but I can't stop Brin too. Not all at once."
"I'm good at distractions. I could probably buy enough time for you to stop one of them before the other came back," Original Cindy offered.
Thinking out-loud Jhondy began to flesh out her plan, "If you can get Brin or Sam out of there for five minutes or so it should be enough for me to subdue the other and Evan, and get to Max and Logan. Then Max and I should be able to take down the other easily. Ok. Do you have a distraction in mind?"
"Already ahead of ya sista. Lemme know when you want me to go," Original Cindy said, managing a small smile. From the looks of it Max wasn't doing great, and after everything that Max had done for her Original Cindy knew that she had to come through.
"Go for it," Jhondy said before turning back to watch the progress through the skylight.
With a nod Original Cindy turned and climbed back down to the street. She was hoping that she could hold out long enough.
2:27 PM
STREETS OF SEATTLE: 44th AND CALHOUN
From her seat Max tried to think of a plan. Tried to think of anything that could help get her and Logan out of their current situation. Leaning back her head Max happened to notice the window in the roof. She also noticed a person peeking through it. Subtly she checked to see if any of her 'guards' were watching her. When Max was sure that they were otherwise engaged she leaned back her head and tried to see who it was looking down at her.
When she did make out the face Max couldn't believe what she saw. It was Jhondy. Max also realized that Jhondy was trying to give her a message. Careful not to let Brin, Sam, or Evan notice her focus on the ceiling Max finally nodded that she understood. Then she went back to staring at the walls.
Shortly thereafter Max heard something outside. Original Cindy. That would explain how Jhondy'd found her, and who the other person that she'd referred to was.
"What is going on out there?" Sam demanded of no one in particular.
Evan looked up at this, "It's to early for the pick-up."
"I'll go check," Brin said. As the Manticore soldier she was Brin quickly and quietly made her way around the crates and finally a door was heard.
Seconds later Sam was taken completely by surprise.
Jhondy had managed to silently open the skylight. Once Brin had left Jhondy'd jumped through, landing on Sam and taking them both to the ground. Despite Sam's attempts to fight back Jhondy's attack had been too quick. Too fast. Too unexpected. After the exchange of only a few kicks and punches Sam went down, and stayed there.
As soon as Evan realized what was going on he hurried toward Sam, but even as she picked herself up off the ground Jhondy met his face with her fist. The power behind it was a lot, even for an X-5, he wouldn't be getting up, not for a while anyway.
Kneeling behind Max, as she untied her and picked the handcuffs, Jhondy said, "Your friend, Original Cindy, she's outside creating a diversion."
"We'd better hurry, and it'll probably take both of us to stop Brin."
"Lean the way," Jhondy said as she pulled Max to her feet.
As she hurried toward the door Max said, "I'll go first. Once she's not watching for you go for it."
Before Jhondy could agree, or argue, Max was out the door. Original Cindy was going off on Brin so Max launched herself at Brin. Max's momentum carried the pair to the ground as Original Cindy scurried out of the way.
Rolling over one another Brin easily gained the upper hand. As she straddled Max's stomach her hands reached down and gripped Max's throat. Max responded by slamming both fists into Brin's solar plexus before rolling to trade positions.
Just a quickly Brin threw a few punches into Max's side, knocking her to the ground. Jumping to her feet Brin placed her foot atop Max's throat, and shortly Max's hands were the only things supporting it. "I didn't want to have to kill you, but you didn't exactly leave me a choice, little sister," Brin said, disgusted. But just before she could lower her foot any more Jhondy tackled her.
As Jhondy pulled her to her feet Max asked, "Cutting it a little close, don't you think?"
"Sorry, let's just finish this."
But in the seconds they'd wasted Brin had regained her balance and came back with a flying kick that caught Jhondy in the jaw, throwing the girl down, unconscious. Landing on her feet Brin faced Max, "I'll see you again, don't worry."
While Brin spun around and hurried away from the ware house Max knelt down next to Jhondy's side. "Jhondy? Can you hear me?"
"I'm here," came the strained reply as Jhondy's eyes slowly opened. Pushing herself into a sitting position she noticed a dark vehicle pulling away, "I take it that's Sam and Evan?"
"Yeah, Brin already split. Oh my god, Logan," Max remembered, jumping to her feet.
"It's cool Boo. Original Cindy done took care of that," said her best friend as she emerged from the warehouse with Logan right behind her.
Turning back to Jhondy Max asked, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Besides we need to vacate before anything else happens," Jhondy replied, accepting Max's hand to help her up.
3:31 PM
MAX'S APARTMENT
After dropping Logan back at his apartment Max, Original Cindy, and Jhondy arrived at Max's apartment. They'd managed to find the space for Jhondy's motorcycle in addition to Max's and were just about to settle down when Original Cindy said, "You know what, boo? We have nothing to eat. I'm gonna go find us some Chinese or somethin' aiight? Later boo."
Original Cindy was out of the apartment almost immediately, leaving Max and Jhondy the time that she knew they'd want to catch up with one another.
"You have no idea how good it is to see you again, and I'm not just talking about you saving my ass earlier," Max began.
"I missed you too Max. I have to yet to find anyone, even an X-5, who sleeps as little as the two of us. Besides, making friends wasn't exactly an elective back at Manticore."
"Well, if you don't have anyone to get back to you should hang around her for a while. I'm sure that you could get a bike messenger job at Jam Pony. Normal'll hire anyone with the ability to ride a bicycle," she laughed.
