No land for the helpless

Logan's apartment

He slowly fell out of his chair. Logan was out of it. Unconscious. Lydecker slowly followed through.

"Max," he said.

Her face went cold as all the blood rushed from it. Behind her windows busted inward as soldiers surrounded her, Original Cindy, and Sketchy. Running."

"I know," Max, said lightly.

Two soldiers pursued her. She did a back flip landing behind them. She did two kicks landing squarely in their faces. The other soldiers came for her. They used their stun guns and shot at her. She fell to the ground.

"Leave the others take her." Lydecker ordered.

"You bastard," Original Cindy mumbled as he walked by.

As they left her and Sketchy assisted Logan.

"He's not going to make it through the night." Sketchy said.

"And how do you know?" Cindy asked. "When did you get your medical degree?"

"Can't you tell?" Sketchy said.

"Tell what?"

"All hell is breaking loose."

Manticore

Max awaked in her cell. "Let me out!"

"No!" Lydecker said coldly.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Max asked.

"You thought we wouldn't find you..." he said. "You played us for a fool."

He opened the door to the cell.

"What? You have no fear that I wont just kill you and leave." Max asked.

"No I don't," he said.

She jumped into the air and unleashed a kick. "Guess again!"

She ran to the main corridor. She kicked open the door. Guards waited. She just leaped past them. She noticed a jet about to take off. Where was she? Looked around and thought this was her last resort.

She jumped for it and made it.

Seattle

"Cindy is he ok?" Sketchy asked.

"Yeah, he's just fine." Cindy said "The doctor just left him."

"So Logan are you going to be fine?"

"I have some good news,"

Washington

"We will rebuild the city," the president said.

"Yes well this is going to be a big job for us," a man in a white suit said.

"Why is that?"

"Because ever since Bush had left after he was president the world has been in chaos.," the man said.

"Send the men out," the president said. "Make it look good."

The man nodded and left out.

Seattle

Max awoke to the sound of a gunshot. She could not believe she dozed off. She looked out the window. Seattle, home sweet home.

She did a leap from the jet and landed perfectly on the ground. Made her way to Logan's home.

"Hi there," she said.

"Max!" Sketchy and Cindy said together.

"Max, your ok?" Logan asked.

"Yeah," she nodded.

"Guys! Listen!" Sketchy said turning up the television.

The newscaster sounded very proud. "I ma happy to say that the town of Seattle I being rebuilt!"

Max smiled she then turned on the radio. Every station was covering the same thing.

Months later

The grand opening of a new bar is were Max and her gang all were.

"I'd like to make a toast to Max." Logan said. "She was very brave through this whole ordeal."

Max smiled. "Thanks,"

"To Max!" the crowd cheered.

It was a time for celebration. A time for happiness and a time for hope.

Later on that night a Logan's

"Max?"

"Yes,"

"I have a surprise," he said rolling over to her.

"What is it?"

He lifted out of his chair.

"Whoa, its like some kind of miracle." Max whispered. "Is it for real? Will it last? How did it happen?"

"When I was shot the bullet hit this other bullet that was in my back which kind of made every thing ok for me t walk/ but there are still two bullets inside of me." He said.

"So it is a miracle," she said.

"Yeah and so is this." he took her by the hands and kissed her like she has "never been kissed"

Space needle

So, this is it. Seattle is better than it was before. Way better. The gang are ok. Except for Sketchy, he will never be ok. So this whole earthquake was suppose to rock our lives. It did. It really did. We all loss Herbal he will never come back and there is no one I know that can talk like him.

Cindy and me are still bunkmates. I hope that goes over and the biggest news is that Logan and me are an item. I cannot believe I am talking like a schoolgirl. Well I have a man to attend to. R.i.p. Herbal you will never be forgotten.

THE END
