A/N: Thanks for all the great reviews! I wasn't planning on writing another chapter so soon, but I'm felling really happy today so here it is.!

Breaking Point.

Chapter 2- Help

He was hearing voices. So what? It's not like he was crazy or anything.

Alec rode his bike trough the haunted streets of Seattle, ignoring the package in his backpack.

All he needed was a good nights sleep. No flashbacks, no dreams, and he would sleep like a baby. Then everything would be back to normal. "Yeah, that's it, sleep." he mumbled to himself.

Only one problem with that. How was he going to stop the dreams? He needed help. Help from someone that knew about all the Manticore crap. Help from somebody that could be trusted. Help from the one person he would never ask.

Max.

The last thing he wanted was Max thinking that he was some loony tune like precious brother Ben. Besides he didn't want to hurt her, she doesn't need the reminder of what happened to her brother.

Okay, so second choice. That would be...Logan. He wasn't exactly someone Alec really trusted, but he had no other choice and maybe Mr. Eyes Only might find it in his heart to help him out.

Logan sat in front of his computer, whistling the tune of a Pre-Pulse song that he couldn't remember the name of.

He was happy, better yet, he was thrilled. Last night Max came by his place to talk. She told him everything. How Alec got arrested, how she got him out, and how she lied. They weren't a couple, just good friends.

He cringed at the thought. Max hates Alec, if she was confessing everything to him, why would she say they we're good friends? Logan shook the thought off and kept whistling.

He was just too happy about Max coming over to see him. 'Although for some reason Original Cindy had come with her' he thought as he ignored the sound of his fax machine.

"You should really lock your windows." came a voice from the other side of the room. He turned his rusty wheelchair to face the intruder.

"Alec?"

" I need your help?"

"With what?" Alec gazed at him attentively.

"Well, I just-" His gut told him to keep the details to himself, remarkable so did his brain. "I need to find a doctor, someone from Manticore."

"Anyone specific?" Logan said turning towards his computer. "Not really. Just someone who knows what they're doing."

"I have someone who could help you. Carl Densen, he's the same guy working on the virus."

"On the virus?" Alec asked trying to hide the gloom from his voice.

"Yeah, I found him a few weeks ago; apparently he's been making a lot of progress. We'll have the cure sooner or later." Alec faked a smile.

"That's good. So how can I reach him?" Logan gave him a peace of paper. "You can reach him there."

"Thanks" Alec muttered and left threw the open window. Logan looked at his fax machine, remembering the message. He picked up the paper and read it.

He grinned at himself. "I guess sooner then later."

======================================================

Like? Don't like?????

Note: This IS M/A!!! I just cured the virus because I don't want Max to be with Alec just because she can't be with Logan.
