Again a long wait, sorry for that, you know how demanding school can be, anyway I wrote this chapter a long time ago and didn't realize I hadn't posted it, sorry for that too.
Adam jumped through a window, rolling on the street down below, "I'm out" he spoke through a radio, after a few seconds a car stopped besides him and he quickly jumped in.
"The package? Did you get it?" Jessi asked as she steered the car through a maze of containers scattered all over the docks.
"Yeah, let's hope the others do their part" Adam said as the Car approached a locked gate, and just as they were about to crash the gate opened to allow them through, "Gate open!" they heard Jake through the radio, "Cutting it a little close don't you think?" Adam replied.
"Sorry, Asha had some trouble immobilizing one of the guards"
"Hey! Don't blame me, you're the one who was afraid to follow him between the two generators!"
"Remember the pulse? It was electromagnetic! Just like the energy from those generators, last time I was left in a comma for thirteen years!"
"Fraiddy cat" Asha said teasingly as the car drove up to pick them up.
"Yeah, say whatever you want; you'd be careful too if you were me"

"No more virus, no more unfinished business with Alec, looks like Logan and I are finally gonna be able to spend some quality time together" Max said happily as she finished doing her hair.
Cindy was lying on the couch reading a magazine, "I hope that by quality time you mean candle lit dinner followed by a night of wild se..."
"We're going to a restaurant"
"And after that?"
"We'll see" Max lifted an eyebrow, then got up and headed towards the door, "Don't wait up for me!"
"I won't" her friend replied

"Hey baby" Alec said as he laid down on the bed next to Lisa, "I was looking for you" he leaned towards her and began kissing her.
"Well, you found me" Lisa smiled as she felt his lips upon her neck.
"I love you" he continued passionately, "I need you"
"You need me?" Lisa pushed him away angrily, "Is it really me you need? Or my blood?"
"What's the difference?"
"What's the difference?"Lisa shouted, "You want my blood?" she reached over for the dagger that had by now become a regular item on the bed, "Here take it and go!" she slid the dagger across her hand.
"Lisa!" Alec tried to calm her down, "don't be like this"
"Do you want it? I'm not cutting myself again tonight, so you better do it fast before the wound closes!"
Alec looked at her then back at red drug oozing from her wrist; slowly he leaned down and placed his mouth over the open wound, sucking the warm liquid into his mouth. All the while Lisa stared at him, seeing what she had turned him into.

Jessi parked the van outside a tall building, "This is the place"
"Ok, you all know the plan" Asha said as she turned to the group, "Jake, you'll take down the surveillance room, I'll take the van around the back, Adam and Jessi will take out the guards and start loading the truck"
Quickly and with stealth Jake, Jessi and Adam sneaked into the building by jumping through a window on the second floor, Jessi made a few hand gestures indicating their next move then the three of them split up.
Jake arrived at a room covered with tv monitors in which a guard could see several places in and out of the building, suddenly the guard stood up as he saw Jessi run past one of the cameras.
"Where do you think you're going?" Jake asked as he skillfully handcuffed the guard then knocked him unconscious, "Security room is…secure" Jake spoke through an earpiece.
"So is the loading ramp" Jessi added as she and Adam finished taking down the last of the guards.
"Ok, I'm pulling in" Asha answered.

"McDowell!" Lydecker ran past Alec and Lisa in the hallway, get your team ready, we just received a signal from a silent alarm"
"Looks like it's time for some fun!" Alec smiled as he and Lisa split up to go get their things ready.
Exactly five minutes later the whole team was on a truck being briefed by Lydecker, "So who exactly are we facing?" Luke asked happily as he loaded his gun.
"The S1W" Lydecker answered.
Alec's eyes widened with shock, he knew the S1W, he knew they were fighting for a just cause, "The S1W? but they're no threat to…"
"They're terrorists and thieves that need to be taken care of; Understood?" Lydecker stared angrily at him.
"Yes sir!" Alec responded like the good little soldier he was, hating himself more and more for doing it.
"Good, now let me warn you, the S1W is no longer a small gang of thieves, They've seem to be growing in numbers and acquiring technology for their terrorist acts, that is why you need to stop them; Their new members are quite capable of handling themselves, even against you"
"" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""
"Everything's loaded" Adam said as he signaled Asha to start the truck.
"Wow, so this was the big mission?" Jake said once the group was on the move, "I'd imagined it would be…I don't know…hard"
"Where not safe until we get the vaccine to the safe house" Jessi said coldly.
"Come on, what could possibly go wrong?" suddenly a man on the road stepped in front of them and raised his hands, "What the…?"
Jake woke up hearing a loud buzzing sound in his head, his nanites were working like crazy inside of him, he looked around, the truck was laying sideways several feet away, Asha was unconscious next to it, slowly he struggled back onto his feet.
"Not had quite enough yet huh?" a blonde woman began attacking him.
"Who…who are you?" he asked as he grabbed both her hands and stared at her.
"We're her to stop you, that's all you need to know" Syl answered as she swiftly freed herself from his grasp and continued attacking.
A few feet away, Jessi was running as fast as she could, dodging a rampage of flying objects thrown by the telekinetic transgenic, "There's no running away, love; best you give yourself up now while you have the chance!"
"You think that impresses me?" Jessi stopped before the man, and just as several pieces of metal were about to hit her, they stopped in midair then were thrown against Gio, pinning him on the floor, "I was moving objects with my mind long before you were even born"
"What do you want?" Adam asked as he fought Luke on the other side of the truck.
"We're here to stop you from stealing from J&R, but me; I'm here looking for a challenge" suddenly the transgenic jumped in to the air then dashed at him with a kick he was barely able to evade, and with one quick punch to the head, the X6 fell unconscious.
"Adam!" Jessi shouted as she fought an oriental woman, "Get Asha out of here, we'll meet you back in the safe house"
Adam quickly ran to the blonde girl's side, picked her up and ran away into the nearest alley.

Alec hurried down the block, it seemed the party had already started without him, he made a left towards where the fighting had cominced and just as he approached the action, a man ran into the alley towards him, "Where do you think you're going?" he asked the criminal he had just blocked off.
The man walked out of the shadows and Alec's eyes widened, "Zack?" he whispered.
Zack didn't answer him but instead looked at the unconscious girl in his arms, "She's hurt, I need to get her to a hospital"
"Asha!" Alec stared at both of them in silence then lowered his head, "go…"
"what?"
"I said Go!" Alec shouted and stood in place as Zack ran past him.
"Why them?" he thought, "Why did it have to be them? Every time I start to feel like I'm actually doing some good in the world, I find out I'm actually the villain"
Slowly he walked out onto the street to where the fighting had been taking place, and just as he showed his face, he was attacked by a brown haired man, he easily dodged Jake's attack and threw him against the pavement, "Give up" Alec shouted, "I don't want to hurt you!"
"Oh, but I do long to hurt you" a woman's voice answered, Alec quickly turned around to find the red haired woman that had attacked him and the other transgenic when they'd been trapped inside Jam Pony. The last thing he was able to see was the woman's foot as it approached his face.
"Wow, thanks" Jake said as he got up, "I…"
"Don't thank me" the woman pulled him up and threw him against a wall knocking him out, "I'm not helping you"

Max and Logan were sitting in a fancy restaurant waiting for their meals to arrive, "so…how've things been with eyes only?" Max hated talking about that, but she was trying to make conversation and it had been the first subject to jump on her mind.
"Ok I guess" Logan answered, puzzled by the fact that she had even mentioned anything having to do with eyes only, "It's been a little difficult getting the equipment running again, but I'm finally back in the air; now I just have to get my informants back. How about you? How are things back in Jam Pony"
"Ok I guess, ever since Mia did her mind wipe thing, things have been pretty calm; except that now I have to be on the look out every time Sketchy opens his mouth"
"Yeah, I guess he's not that good at keeping secrets"
"Ring!!!!!" Logan's cell phone made a loud sound, Logan quickly pulled it out and stared at the screen, "It's Kyle"
"Answer it" Max lied about what she wanted him to do, "It could be important"
"I…" Logan stared at her then at the ringing phone then quickly answered, "Hello?"
Max sighed, she knew what was happening, she could see it in logan's face; something big was going down and it was up to them to settle it. "What's going on?"
"Kyle just called, he'd been working with the S1W, they were going to steal some vaccines to help the people that really needed them; but they were attacked"
"Well, if they were stealing them…"
"One of Kyle's friends was with them…and so was Asha"
Max sighed as she stood up, "Where?"
"Sector 5, between 3rd and 4th"
"I'm on my way"
"Wait Max!" Logan stopped her, "There's one more thing; they were attacked by Jennigs & Rall's team"
"You mean…?"
"" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""
"Alec!" Max thought angrily as she sped down the street on her motorcycle, "Why did it have to be Alec? I guess all those times he's ruined something for me weren't enough, no matter how many chances I give him, he always ends up screwing things up for me again"
She stopped the bike as she got to the scene of the crime, a truck was lying sideways on the street, photographers and reporters were digging for scoops while the sectorpolice secured the area.
"Max" she heard Kyle walking up to her, "Thanks for coming"
"Don't mention it" she replied, "What happened here?"
"My boys happened" Lydecker appeared behind them.
"You! You lying, cheating son of a…" Max shouted angrily as she charged at him but a pale blonde woman stopped her.
"Nice to see you to Max"
"What did you do with my friend?" Kyle confronted them, "Where'd you take them?"
"We didn't take them anywhere" Lydecker answered.
"They were attacked by your men" Max replied, "They were attacked by Alec"
"At first yes, but then the familiars showed up"
"The breeding cult?" Max said coldly, "How convenient for you"
"It's true, they took my team too, they took Alec"
"Well they can keep him" Max turned around to leave.
"Max" Kyle stopped her, "they took Jessi"
"They also took Brin and Syl" Lydecker added.
Max stopped and let out a big sigh, "Fine, I'll help you mind them"
"I knew you would" Lydecker smiled, "And Lisa here is going to help you"
What will happen next? will Max find Alec? Will Adam recognize Max? What's the breeding cult up to? Stay tuned and remember to Review.
