A/N: I KNOW THAT YOU PPL ARE GETTING IMPATIENT BECAUSE I WONT LET MAX AND
ALEC FIND THEIR SON JUST YET. WELL, THEY WONT FIND HIM IN THIS CHAPTER
EITHER. THIS IS A LONG ONE BUT THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS. JUST BE
PATIENT PLEASE.
AND I WOULD LIKE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON HOW THE BABY IS FOUND.
Alec walked into Logan's penthouse quietly. "Over here." Logan said like he usually does when Alec goes over there.
"What's up?" Alec asked.
Logan didn't look too happy. "Krit found Renfro. I was right about the lead." He said. "We found out that Renfro was part of the breeding cult that White belongs in. That's why she didn't die. But Renfro's loyalties are to Manticore." Logan sighed, pushing his glasses to his face.
"What does this mean?" Alec asked. He didn't want to get his hopes up. From the way Logan was speaking, there was more to the news and it wasn't going to be good.
"White and Renfro have been competing on getting Max. Renfro won and with the baby, she had the upper hand. Anyway, Krit found her in Michigan. We think that she was trying to get to Canada. We were right. She did take the baby." Logan explained.
"Did Krit find my son?" Alec asked. He was holding his breath.
Logan shook his head. "No. Someone got to Renfro first, killed her for good this time and took the baby. We suspect that it's White." He replied. "I'm sorry."
Alec sighed heavily. "Great. He mumbled. "Just great." Everything was so frustrating.
Alec left Logan's apartment and went straight to the space needle. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His son was alive but nowhere to be found. If White got him, he could be experimented on right now. His son might be tortured right now and there is nothing he can do.
"I would rather have you dead than suffering," Alec thought sadly.
He wondered if he should tell Max. He wondered what it would do to her. She was getting so good lately and news like this would just send her spiraling back to depression. It's been two months since she got out and Alec wasn't really up to going through all that pain again.
Alec walked back to his apartment, still lost in thought. He had decided not to tell Max. It was for the best. He would call Logan later and tell him to do the same. He unlocked his door but before he could step inside, Alec felt the cold metal of a gun being pressed on the back of his neck.
"Shit!" He mumbled to himself.
His captor pushed him inside without a word. He couldn't look back and see.
"Don't try anything funny because I promise you, you'll regret it." The woman said. "Turn around."
Alec turned around, his hands still in the air. He came face to face with the woman. She was Asian, incredibly beautiful. He assumed she was at least in her early twenties. "Who are you?" He demanded. Alec wasn't pleased on being taken hostage.
"State your designation." She ordered.
Alec frowned. "Great, another Manticore soldier." He mumbled.
"State your designation!" She repeated harshly.
"X5-494." Alec said. The woman seemed to look relieved. This confused him.
"Ben's twin." She whispered. The woman lowered the gun. "My designation is X5-"
Alec cut her off before she could continue. "Look, lady, are you here to maim me and then kill me or are you here to reminisce about Manticore and talk about designations? If you're here for a little trip down our demented memory lane, then I suggest you better reschedule or find someone else to bother because I'm not really up for any of those. I have better things to do so why don't you just get on with whatever it is you want because you are wasting my time." Alec said impatiently.
"I need to track down the rogue X5 452 also known as Max Guevera." She said. Alec looked startled. What the hell does she want with Max? Whatever it was Alec wasn't going to help. She could be hunting Max down and Alec could lead her right to her.
"What do you want with Max?" He demanded.
"My name is Brin. I'm her sister. I need to find her. It's important." Brin explained. "Tell me where she is." Brin demanded. She was taking her chances by telling a complete stranger. She had no idea who he was. All she knew that this man looked like her dead brother Ben. Maybe she could trust him considering that he was whether he knew it or not, family.
Alec scoffed. Who the hell did she think she was ordering him around? She probably didn't know him. She probably just saw his face and assumed that she could trust him because he looked like her brother Ben.
"I'm not helping you." He said. Honestly, Alec hadn't decided whether he would help her or not. She was after all Max's sister and Max would probably want to see her in the first place.
"Please, I need to find Max. It's important. I have something that belongs to her." Brin begged. She wasn't used to begging. It was either they gave her what she wanted or she got it by force. Alec seemed intrigued by her last comment.
"Just tell me where Max is and I'll leave you alone." Brin said. Alec shook his head. He didn't know her and therefore didn't trust her. She would have to prove to him that she wasn't a traitor. She could just be another X5 on a solo mission. Brin seemed angry with his refusal. "Fine!" She said and punched him out before she walked out of his apartment.
"What the hell happened to you?" OC asked when Alec walked into the house with a black eye. Brin had punched him good and hard.
"Nothing." He mumbled. "Can I have some ice please?" Alec asked. Max strolled in and looked at him curiously. "Don't ask." He said and she didn't.
Alec sat on the couch with a piece of frozen meat pressed against his face. He was still contemplating on whether he should tell Max or not. He wasn't going to. He really was tired of asking questions and trying to figure things out.
He would just leave it at that.
