Dix was bringing up the entire history of the phone and had it printing as Max and Alec came in the command. She saw the video playing and knew what Alec said was true. She grabbed the printout and was furious at what she saw. Sketchy knew about the setup to turn alec over to white and never told her anything about it.
She left command after throwing the paper down and didnt wait on anyone she was going to find him and kill him. He had betrayed her friendship worse then logan had. She had to find OC and let her know what was going on as well.

-
OC came out of the bathroom and was walking to her room to finish getting ready for the day when Sketchy ran in the room.

'Man, you know i dont want bothered when im getting ready for the day." said OC wondering what was going on with this little man.

"Im leaving." said sketchy, "Once max and alec find out what iv done they will kill me."

"What have you done?" asked Oc, wondering what her friend did to get on the bad side of Max and her boy.

"Alec was to be handed to that white guy and i was to make 50,000 dollars." said sketchy, knowing OC wouldnt approve.

"YOU WHAT?" asked OC, trying her best not to trottle her friend.

"Logan promised me 50,000 dollars to turn Alec over. Said that transgenics were going to save all of us when the time comes. He said that Alec and Max were the saviors but that white had to have them." said Sketchy, " When Alec was found I let logan know that he was back and that Max was hiding it. Then I told Gem that Max had been feeling bad before we left TC and made sure he knew she was going to her apartment."

"They were your friends." said OC, tears escaping her eyes. "They are my friends, how could you?"

"The money would help i wouldnt have to be a bike messenger anymore." said Sketchy, "He promised that he would give me his penthouse. All i have to do is tell him where we are?"

"LEAVE NOW." said Oc, hoping this was all a bad dream but knowing it wasnt.

"HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" said Alec, hearing more then he ever wanted to."How could you sell us out like that?"

No one seeing Max or Mole behind him. Until Mole had sketchy by the back of the neck.

"Man, we have always been there for you and you sell us out!" said Alec, knowing Max was ready to kill the ordinary and knew she wouldnt sleep again if she did. "You are done and you will be leaving but not before Logan is dealt with."

"Wh..h..hat are y...ou going to do to me?" asked Sketchy losing his breath with every word.

"Wait and see." said Alec, "Mole you know where to take him to?"

"Yeah," said Mole knowing this human was not going to see the light of day again if he had anything to do with it. He carried him by his neck to the deepest part of the woods, knowing there was no way anyone would track him, once he took his cloths and all.

"You fucked up human." said Mole making sketchy stripped to his boxers. "No one fucks with my family. You are lucky i dont shoot you right now."

"Do it!" said sketchy, "Im dead either way."

"You will stay alive until our leaders decide otherwise, unless you try to escape then that on you."

Mole shut the steel door and left him in the dark underground bunker, with only a thing of water, loaf of bread and a blanket. He knew that all he would need, to keep him until alec or max decided what to do.

Max had disappeared out of the house, she ran to the tallest thing she could find which was their water tower. She needed to clear her head. She didnt know how her life had gotten so chaotic and then again it always had been. She knew that she was never again trust another ordinary except for OC, as she knew that girl would never betray her.

She knew they were going to find Logan some how and deal with him. At this point she didnt care how as long as he was gone. He was a danger to those she loved. She just didnt understand how anyone could turn on the person they counted as friends who always had their back.

-
After everything she had been through what would happen next? Could she trust OC and would they find Logan or would he find them?

When Max got back to command she walked in the middle of Gem and another trangenic talking about the heat. Max knew from her own personal experience that their heat wasnt simple. She wondered why she hadnt went into heat since her heart transplant but decided she deal if it came up.
"We need a place that safe so we dont have sex with someone we dont want to." said the transgenic Si. "You know we go through heat and we are mated to them."

"I will talk to Max and Alec see what we can do." said Gem already knowing that no one had thought of it since in TC alot of fight broke out over that main thing.

Max walked up to Gem, knowing she was going to have to deal with this.

"Hey Gem, you wanted to talk to me." said Max, wondering the best option would be.

"Hey Max, yes the safety of the girls once their heat hits. We dont want to mate with just anyone." said Gem, "Especially the younger ones."

"Ok, see if the females will give you their heat dates and who they want to be mated with then the guys if they want to mate with that female." said Max, "If not then we need to fortify a place they can go to stay safe."

"Thanks Max." said Gem, "I think that would work out very well."

"Max can i ask a personal question?" asked Gem wondering if she was asking for trouble. "Have you ever been with a male transgenic?"

"Honestly no." said Max, "The ones i was around have always considered me their sister, all except for Alec."

"Wasnt you and Alec paired in manticore." she asked,knowing they were.

"Yes, but i kicked him across the cell told him that only contact we would have." said Max,her eyes glazing over as she wondered to herself what would have happened if she had mated with him.

Max didnt noticed when Gem walked away or when Alec walked up beside her. "Max!" asked alec, wondering where she was mentally since her eyes showed she was zoned out.

She jumped and hoped he didnt see but she knew he did. He always watched everything about her and knew that why she lo..loved him. She couldnt remmeber when she fell in love with him but knew she would always be, but she wasnt sure how he felt for her.

"You okay?" asked Alec wondering where her head was and knew if he gave her time she would tell him.

"Can we go somewhere?" asked Max, wondering if he understood.

"Sure." said Alec, motioning for her to go ahead of him.

They soon found theirselves on top of the water tower. They both sit there side by side wondering what was on the others mind.

"Alec, can you believe sketchy betrayed us for money?" asked Max, wondering what he thought.

"Truthfully, no i thought he was our friend." said Alec, sad that the one guy friend that was ordinary turned on them. "I dont know what happened but he isnt staying here. He out as soon as we can find Logan."

"Does he know where we are?" asked Max, wondering if anyone knew where they were.

"No he doesnt. Phones cant be traced here." said Alec, "We arent even on the map. This is our own small country though we soon will send out scouts to see what else is here."

"Are we safe?" asked Max, knowing no where was always safe.

"As we can be." said Alec, "No where is really safe, but at least the army dont know where we are now."

They sat four couple hours talking and just relaxing in each others presence.

Back in Seattle

Logan was watching TC burn. He had been in his car when the first explosion happened. He didnt know who or what had caused the explosion but knew that he was glad it happened. Now he just had to wait and see if the bodies could be recognized after the fire.

He knew that sketchy was in tc the last call he got, but he didnt understand when he had said there was a new TC.

Maybe he was drunk or high again.

"If he was in there, then the money wont be spent." thought Logan, wondering what was going to happen next when another explosion but this time it was the Cale penthouse.

"WHAT THE HELL!" shouted Logan, no one understanding where the explosions were coming from. "MY HOME, MY EQUIPMENT."

"YOUR PAY FOR THIS!ALL OF YOU!

_
what caused the explosion at TC and was it the same reason Cale penthouse exploded to?

Thanks for the reviews. OC would never betray them. She is a real friend. Who will Max mate with? Will she go into heat?
