DARK ANGEL
The Complete Third Season
Episode 12
"The Demon Hand Part I"
Previously on Dark Angel,
Tanedra Woods hires Max on secret missions that connect with the Transgenics. Erinn is undercover, working for Sierra and Tanedra, hiding a dark secret. Sara is developing feelings for Alec as Max realizes that she thinks her relationship with Alec is changing at a fast rate! Asha returns to break-up Logan and Max's relationship when she admits that she pregnant with Logan's baby. Sierra is hiding something evil, something big.
The next morning from last nights little confusion, Max stayed in bed. Even though she tried numerous times to fall asleep forever, it just wasn't working. The bright light coming in from the window peaked past the curtains. She lay in bed for hours, reflecting from last nights events. Max kept looking at the red solution that would cure the virus she had inside of her own body. The first vial was given to Logan so that his DNA wouldn't be attacked by the growing virus in her system. She could remember the days in Jam Pony. Yeah, that was hell on earth, but she was free to do her own thing. Sketchy had left Seattle to help Normal at a new branch of Jam Pony. Sketchy didn't exactly enjoy the whole Transgenic thing and Normal promised he wouldn't rat out Max and Cindy.
Max was getting too close to finding out something about Sierra Lakefield. Everyday she would try to cover up her being a Transgenic. It was hard to protect herself while being in the eyes view of her very enemy. Ever since Joshua went loco and attacked Sierra that one night, she had been given the boost she needed to end the Transgenic for good. Max continually tried to think of ways to get last night out of her head. She couldn't believe that she gave into the temptations of Heat. Having Alex in her bed was one thing, but Logan leaving her was total downfall on her part. Poor Sara had to suffer because Alec 'kinda' cheated on her. Asha seemed a little too happy that Logan had been mad at her. Asha has more to her then she lets out; something bad.
Never mind the fact that Alec loved what they did last night. He wasn't in heat, Max was. It disturbed her to think that Alec enjoyed himself and wanted more. Sara spent the night last night with Cindy and Max. She had been siting on the couch all night just soaking in her own tears. Max felt totally responsible for Sara's heart ache and decided to get ready and grab some ice cream on the way. Cindy knocked on the bedroom door softy and waited for Max's response to let her know she was allowed to come in. Cindy was wearing track pants and a baggy sweater to block her from the cool wind that lingered in the apartment.
"Morning Boo, you still sleeping?" she asked. "I thought I would come in and talk you into coming out. Its about 12:00 am now" Cindy sat at the end of Max's bed and waited for her to talk.
"Is Sara still there?" she asked. Cindy nodded her head.
"Of course, she wanted to talk about how bad Alec is and I got too carried away. You know Alec and I don't really get along" Cindy laughed.
Max smiled and got out of the warm covers to get her shirt on. Cindy stood up and walked to the door and sighed.
"Tough love" she whispered as she walked out of Max's room. Max followed behind her and was looking forward to a good scoop of ice cream. Sara was sitting on the couch carrying a tub of ice cream that was completely empty. Max's soon to be nice morning had dropped serious amount of levels in her mind. Sara got up and threw the empty tub in the garbage and smiled at the sight of limping Max.
"Hey, thanks again for letting me stay here," she thanked. "I had no where else to go, I've been staying at Alec's these past weeks" she continued.
Max hugged Sara and put on her coat. Cindy noticed while she put the coffee pot on.
"You leaving Boo?" she asked. Max nodded her head and walked out of the door.

Erinn smiled as she watched Sydney Williams walk gracefully into Sierra's office. Erinn had a close call yesterday but Tanedra's husband Tyrone took the fall and is now in jail for the night. She heard that he was questioned about his whereabouts that night of the break-in. Erinn typed onto her work computer on the search engine "Sydney Williams". Nothing came up. Meanwhile, in Sierra's office, Sydney walked in and sat down on Sierra's leather chair. Sierra locked the door behind her and smiled.
"Welcome," she said. "I understand that my brother sent you here to help me with my little bug problem?" Sierra comfortably said. Sydney crossed her legs and an evil grin crossed her fair face.
"Yes, tonight I plan to rid of your little bug in the building. Erinn is a dangerous foil to our operation" Sydney pursed her lips and pulled out a dagger with the similar carvings as the red robed cult. Sierra handed her files of Erinn's background and photos.
"These are pictures of Erinn so you know who exactly your killing" she said. Sydney cleared her throat.
"I like to refer it as eliminating the bug" she bitterly added. Sierra smiled.
"Whatever makes you happy, just do it," Sierra continued. "Ames is getting too close to getting his ass kicked. We need to watch out for that Max and her pals. Sending that pregnant woman back into their lives was a great idea on Ames's part" she said. "I never was a believer in my brother Ames, he might just impress me. Give me the 101 on the Demon Hand." Sierra demanded. Her assassin, Sydney Williams handed her a map with a circles location in red ink. Sierra scanned the map that pin-pointed that whereabouts of the mysterious Demon Hand.
"Huh, what do you know? The Demon Hand is right in the middle of Seattle" Sierra Lakefield said with a menacing smile. The two women glared at the map where the red circle surrounded the ruins of Manticore.
DARK ANGEL
~*~
Disaster struck on a global scale: terrorists detonated a nuclear weapon in the sky high above the United States, producing a powerful electromagnetic pulse which destroyed virtually every electronic device within thousands of miles, immediately plunging the country into total anarchy. The Pulse brought the nations to its knees. In fear, the Government started to create human weapons. I happen to be one. After years of running, I had enough and took a stand. The Transgenic's and I created Freak Nation. I joined forces with the police and now working with Tanedra Woods helping her solve Transgenic cases. Sierra Lakefield; the voice of the people, is against the existence of my kind. With the help of faithful ally's, we plan to take down the Breeding Cult before the preverbal apocalypse and explore more into my destiny. The whereabouts of Sandeman; my father, is unknown.
Tyrone sat by himself at a rusty, navy blue table at the police headquarters. He was given a small cup of burning hot, black coffee and a plain donut. He waited patiently for the Chief of Sector police to question some more about last nights break-in. A little gas light penetrated beaming, hot light into his dark hazel eyes. Tyrone continually tapped his foot on the hard, cement floor and the twiddling of his thumbs increased every anticipated moment. Tanedra watched her husband from the other side of the two-way mirror, while talking to her boss.
"Chief, you know Tyrone wouldn't be apart of this break-in at Lakefield's office!" Tanedra begged. He didn't pay attention to her begging and smiled.
"Tell me something, Woods. Can you give me a reason to why he disappeared on the face of the earth for a six month period?" he pondered. Tanedra sighed.
"I can't tell you," she regretted. "I can only tell you that it was for the greater good, trust me" pleaded Tanedra. She knew that if Tyrone's secret about being involved with the cult would ever be heard by the Chief, Tyrone would be facing he death sentence. The Chief crossed his arms and opened the door to the questioning room.
"Tyrone Woods, I have the right to ask you anything about last nights crime and if you refuse to answer anything, then I will be forced to hold you here for another forty-eight hours" he promised bitterly. Tyrone hit the table with unbelievable strength and created an imprint of his arms on the steel table.
"Sir, excuse me but I have a right to an attorney before I say anything to you!" demanded Tyrone. The Chief backed away from the angered man and called in one of his workers. He whispered into his ears and the man left.
"Your attorney is being called as we speak," said the Chief. "While we are waiting, we need to work with us here" his tone suddenly softened. Tyrone rubbed his eyes and his bald head. Tanedra couldn't watch her husband going through this rough time and left the station. She got into her car and rode to her work building. She passed Erinn and walked into Sierra's office where Sydney was just leaving. Tanedra watched as she left, which triggered her memory. She remembered seeing Sydney at one of the crimes that the Red Robed cult committed. She ignored Sydney and advanced further into Sierra's office.
"I need to talk to you," she said. "Tyrone is innocent!" Tanedra pleaded once again; more than she had ever in one day. Sierra closed her silver laptop and stood up from her dark, oak work table. Her hair was down onto her shoulders and was perfectly straight. She wore a red blouse and a grey skirt that covered down to her knees; revealing her tanned and shiny, silky smooth legs.
"Tanedra, I've been working for this department for a very long time now. If I have suspicions about someone, I will take serious measures" she insured. Tanedra wasn't taking that for answer.
"Sierra, please. Tyrone is my husband, he was with me last night, not here in your office" while Tanedra begged for her trust, Sierra knew who exactly broke into her office last night. She wanted to target Tyrone for a certain personal reason.
"I will see to it Tanedra. If I were you, I would be questioning your husbands motives" Sierra snorted, gracefully walking out of the office with her brief case.

Asha sat in Logan's apartment reading a magazine, flipping through the pages to past time. She listened to constant sound of distant water falling from the shower spout. Logan was having a shower for a long time now, giving Asha the time to look through his house. She quickly got up from the brown couch and searched in the cabinets and drawers for something in particular interest to Asha. Meanwhile, Logan got out of the shower, shirtless and walked around his room. He pondered about his feud with Max and the constant painful memory of Alec taking advantage of her. He couldn't let anger over take him, he loved Max too much to hate her. He tried to hate her for what she did, but his unconditional love was too strong and over-powering. He debated whether to call her to make things right and to start over. Logan wanted to just kiss her now that the virus was done with. Asha wasn't his taste, he may be having a baby with her, but that doesn't top him from having a life with Max. Just before he was going to put his shirt on, Asha came from behind him and smashed a vase over his head. Logan didn't get to see who the intruder was before he hit the ground and blacked-out. Asha really did have true feelings for Logan and it hurt her to hit him like that. She found him as a true friend. She often debated whether what she was doing working for Sierra was the right thing or not.
Asha checked to see if he was out and ran to the phone. She dialed the number to her boss and checked Logan's pulse. He was still alive. She sighed that he was still alive and a woman picked up from the other end.
"He's out and there was no sign of the demon claw or whatever," she whispered. "But I did however find information from the cabinet in his house. I read some of it and it seems to be information about the Demon Hand" Asha admitted. Asha stared at the piece of parchment that held crucial information about the Demon Hand. It said that the hand was forged to be a certain key to open and release something lethal and dangerous. She also read something that said "The X63 project". Just as she was talking to Sierra on the phone, Max was knocking on the front door. She thought about how she was going to approach Logan that afternoon, and finally decided to come down to him, holding the last part to the cure of the virus. All she had to do was to drink the vial solution and his DNA wouldn't act with hers. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Logan, Its me, Max. I wanted to talk to you about last night" Max said. No one was answering. Asha hung up the phone with Sierra and noticed that someone was at the front door to Logan's apartment. She tried to think of what she was going to do. She pulled Logan's heavy body behind his bed and closed the bedroom door. Max waited patiently at the door for Logan to answer, hoping every second that Asha wasn't going to answer. Asha dusted herself off and looked at he door and answered.
"Max, uh, hi, come in" Asha said. Max faked her smile and sat down on Logan's couch. She waited for Asha to get Logan, but she just sat down beside her. It was an awkward silence for a very long time until Max decided to break it.
"Is Logan here or something?" she questioned. Asha shook her head.
"Oh, he left to grab some groceries, do you want me to leave a message?" she asked. Max shook her head as well and stood up
"Could you tell me if he was, you know, okay last night" she asked. Asha had to lie.
"Max, he kinda left in anger last night and didn't come home until early this morning. He broke a couple of things including a vase in his room." Asha lied. Max looked at the stand that once his mothers vase stood.
"His mothers old vase?" Max challenged. "I thought he loved that vase" Asha's heart sunk in her chest. She felt like she was on a roller coaster that was continually on a steep ramp. She had to quickly think of another lie to keep Max away from being curious.
"He was really angry from what you did" she said passing the guilt back to Max to keep her away from the subject. Asha used crafty mental thinking to trigger Max's emotions.
"I'm going to leave now, don't say I stopped by" she said leaving sad. Asha closed the door behind Max and smiled.

Night fell upon Washington, and the sun sunk into a deep sleep. The sky was crystal clear and revealed beautiful, flamboyant stars. Erinn walked in the underground parking lot of the building towards her car. This reminded her of the last time someone tried to kill her. She had come to the conclusion that she didn't like underground parking. She walked towards her black car and used the key pad to unlock the door. Just before she entered the car, she heard someone talking to another person. She closed the door and peaked over the car's hood to see who was talking. No one was there.
Erinn stood up fully and walked slowly to the car that the voices were coming from. As she walked to the jeep, a cool breeze caressed her face from the open entrance of the parking lot. Morbid chills ran down her spine as she ducked behind the jeep to spy on the voices. When she peaked over the wide side of the car, she realized that a radio was playing a conversation between two people repeatedly. Erinn picked up the radio and scanned the object. Suddenly, a loud bang from a shot gun broke the radio she was holding and it smashed on the cement floor. Sparks hit her feet in her high-heels and she backed away.
"Crap" she whispered running behind the jeep once again. Sydney came out from behind her car holding a giant shot gun. Sierra had sent Sydney that night to finally kill Erinn out of the picture. Sierra watched from her office on the security camera's of the underground paring lot. She sat back and watched the little show.
Erinn had to get to her car to grab her gun, but how was she going to get there without loosing a limb? Sydney charged the gun for another round and snapped it back in place.
"Come out Erinn, let's play a game" she taunted. Erinn strategized how she was going to get to her car. She waited until Sydney would pass by the Jeep and she kicked her leg to take her down. Sydney collapsed to the hard, cool ground and hit her head. Erinn tried to grab the gun away from her enemy, but Sydney wouldn't let her. She grabbed her arm and forced her bone the other away. Erinn felt horrible pain throb down her arm as Sydney twisted it back. She punched her with her other arm and stretched her body far enough to kick the shot gun away.
"Who the hell are you?" screamed Erinn now pointing the gun towards Sydney. "Who do you work for?" she demanded. Sydney didn't speak a word while blood dripped from her ruby lips. "I figured you weren't just an ordinary girl, you're spunky"
"Spare me your small talk" Sydney snapped back.

The Chief of police walked out of the questioning room after talking with Tyrone's attorney and questioning. He was a hard one to crack. Tanedra was sipping coffee at the table waiting for answer and see if Tyrone told the Chief anything about last nights break-in and the Red Robed Cult. Tanedra didn't want to tell Max either because Max was against the Red Robed Cult. Ever since the crash of the truck carrying the blood of Transgenic's, Max had been on the search for answers.
"Anything?" she asked. He shook his head.
"I told you!" she yelled. He rolled his eyes and told her he was able to go.
"He's clean. You guys can go home now" he said. Tanedra smiled and grabbed her purse. Tyrone walked with her out of the building and they both went into the car. She smiled and turned the car on.
"Wait a minute" he said. She stopped the car and faced her husband.
"Do you trust me now? You have too, I am telling you the truth. I don't work for the Cult anymore" he pleaded. She thought for a minute and kissed his dark lips. The two shared an intimate moment igniting their relationship once more.

Alec knocked on Cindy's apartment door and waited for Sara to answer. Cindy answered and noticed it was Alec and suddenly shut the door. Alec knocked on the door once again and Sara answered this time. She looked at him for a long time and waited for him to respond.
"Hi" he said. Sara rolled her eyes and ran over to him and kissed him moist lips. She held her lips against his for a long time while he kept his hands on her head. She let go of his lips and he gasped for air.
"I guess you forgive me?" he asked. She smiled.
"Of course dummy, I was thinking all morning over some sessions of talking about you and I thought life is too short to be sad. I said, what the heck, he's good looking, nice in bed, why not?" she said. He laughed and kissed her again against the wall. Cindy opened the door to the hallway and noticed them kissing and she rolled her eyes.
"Straight girls" she shook her head and left the hallway. Sara stopped kissing him and sat on the floor of the hallway.
"That was good" she said. Alec gasped for air once again.
"I can agree with that" he added. Alec enjoyed being with Sara, but it was nothing like Max and him together. He found that when they were together, it was magic. Alec loved being with Max and the chemistry was lovely. Sara thought for sure she found the one she wanted to be with for a long time.

Max sat on top of the Seattle tower and pondered about her unproductive day. She let the cool wind hit her face and blow her dark hair. She wondered if Logan would ever forgive her for giving into Heat's temptations. She watched Transgenics walk around Freak Nation, living their normal lives in boundaries. It sickened Max that they had to live life scared and worried that humans would kill them. She checked her cell phone for the time and hopped onto the flat ground on the tower to head downstairs back to her work to grab some homework. Meanwhile, Sierra watched as Erinn and Sydney talked in the underground parking lot. She waited patiently for Sydney to take the gun in her butt pocket and shoot Erinn in the head and finally end her life.
While watching the camera, someone knocked on Sierra's door. She walked over to the door and let the person in. It was revealed to be Ames at her door. He was wearing a dark suit and was holding a gun. He looked at Sierra and sat down at her guest seat. She sat down on her own and smiled.
"To what do I owe this pleasure?" she teased. Ames smiled.
"Anything on the Demon Hand?" he asked. She turned off her computer and looked at her brother.
"We may not be blood related Ames, but I always considered you as a blood brother" she said. "I mean, I know by the cults consideration, we are related. Sandeman was a working man" she said. While they were talking, Max was listening. She just realized that not only Ames was working with Sierra about the Demon Hand, but Sierra was the mysterious leader of the Red Robed Cult.
To be continued..........
