Zack, Bling and Bella got near the Manticore back entrance. Zack looked at his watch. 11:10. They walked bording the wall of the building and Zack
showed to Bling the security camera. 'Just in case Brin has problems.' Bling made an OK sign with his head and took care of it.
Zack took his master key and opened the door. He waited for the alarm to start, but there was absolute silence. 'Well, at least Logan's good at
something.' Zack waited for Bling and when he came back, they all got in togheter.

Brin got herself out of bed, trying not to made noises. She looked at her watch. 11:05. 'Good.' She was already dressed. 'No time to loose on silly
stuff like putting your clothes on in times of crisis.' She thought to herself. She slowly opened the door of her room, took a look outside, no
one, she then walked through the hallway to get into the security room.

"What are you...?" Started to ask the guard, but Brin knocked him out before he could finish his sentence. She taped the code and
blocked all the cameras to make the images perfectly still. 'This way nobody will see people going into Manticore.' Brin looked at her watch
again. 11:10. 'Showtime!'

Sera looked at her watch. 11:00. She got into the room B-265 very easily. There wasn't any guard at this hour usually. The cameras were doing the
work. She stared at Max, who was just lying there, fixing an empty place in front of her, her eyes wide open and kind of in a catatonic state.

" Max! Are you okay?" Sera asked, but Max didn't answer her, like she wasn't even hearing her. "Max?" She took her blood
pulse. 'Damn!' It was very weak, but present. She injected her 3cc of Narcan and after that, she unglugged the I.V. solution. "Max, talk to
me." Sera aknowledge a little eye movement. She took the eye solution she had in her pocket since she had trouble herself with eye dryness, and
put one drop of Visine into Max's eyes to moist them.
Max began to wink a bit, and the images that were in front of her since 2:00 this afternoon began to fade, and then vanished. She couldn't believe
they weren't in front of her anymore. Instead, she saw Sera's face.

"Sera? What are you doing here?" Max asked, having no clue of what was going on.

" What? Don't you remember Max? Think...hard!" Sera ordered her.
Max went into her thoughts to recollect the events of the day.

" Oh! yeah...I remember." Sera was relieved, she had been scared for a second that Max really had forgotten everything.

" Are you feeling better now?" She asked out of concern.

"A little." Max said, trying to smile despite the fact that her body was hurting like hell. 'That's what not moving for 9 hours do to
you.'

" I have to go before I get caught. Take care." Brin got into the room, ready to conquer the whole world. Max could see in her face that
she was eager to get out of this place. 'I don't blame her!' Max thought.

" Brin, said Sera to her, here's the vial of Narcan, give her 2cc of it in about an hour if she's not better. And here is her medical chart, in
case anything happens. Just give it to someone named Logan, okay?" She'd stolen the chart from Lydecker's office, wishing she wasn't about to
die because of it. Sera got out of the room, praying to Whoever was up there to help those kids. 'I know I'm not a great believer, but please...'

"Come on Max!" Brin unstrapped her and put her arms around Max, so she could put hers around Brin's shoulders. "Good, now hang on and
we'll be out of this ghetto in no time!" They both turned towards the door, cligning to one another, only to find their heads being the target
of Lydecker's gun.

The three of them were walking in silence in the hallway of the first floor of the base. They had to find the stairs to go to the second one to
reach the room B-265. Zack saw the stairs sign, and before opening it, he made the others stay behind him. He opened the door very fast and found
himself in front of 4 soldiers. 'Damn!'

Zack punched the first one right in the face without the guy realizing there was someone in front of him. He kicked the second one so hard in the
stomac that he couldn't stand up either. Bling took care of the third one, who was much more stronger than his buddy lying on the floor. Zack help
him. Bella took care of the forth man, who said to her "Hello Sweety!", when he got into her face. They were fighting like hell and
Zack was impressed by the strength of Isabella. As for Bling, well, the guy's Mr. Muscle, but he still needed back up since there was Terminator
in front of him. Two against one was good, Zack kicked the soldier in the chest, and it made the guy loose his breathing faculty, and when he turn
towards Bling, he didn't get very lucky, Bling punched him in the jaw and the guy fell down, bleeding. They heard Bella fighting and she gave the
forth soldier a punch in the face, and then she turned to kick him in the stomac, and when he fold forward, she finished him with a good one on the
back. "Sweety my a$$!" She said to him, who was lying unconcious on the floor. She turned and saw the two guys were looking at her in
astonishment. She smiled.

"I'm impressed!" Said Bling. Zack didn't say anything, but he sure thought it.

"Thank you Bling, you're not bad yourself." She looked at Zack right into his eyes. "As for you Zack, I thought you could do
better." And she walked in front of him, smiling with victory. She was now very glad to have taken those classes in High School. She could
remember Logan teasing her about it. 'He's not teasing me now, huh?' They walked up the stairs and opened the door to the hallway.

"It's clear." Said Zack to them. He made a sign for them tofollow him. As they were getting near the room B-265, Zack could hear
voices.

" Lydecker..." Zack said to himself.
