"Max, Max, Max." Lydecker clucked sitting on the other side of the bars and staring in at her. "You've been in there for three days. You're still tied up, you haven't eaten and you've got to be thirsty. Plus it must not be fun urinating on yourself." He added with false pity, she knew he was mocking her.

'I'm never going to obey you Lydecker." She spat. "You should kill me and get it over with.

"Now where's the fun in that soldier? Believe it or not I like to have fun too, just not the same kind of fun."

"Yah your fun is playing with human guinea pigs." Max retorted angry all over again.

"Oh. Now lets not get fiesty I might have to let some of my friends play with you." He motioned to the doctors that stood behind him in white lab coats.

"Go ahead. It's not like I have much to live for.

"Oh that's right all your little friend rodents ran away and left you alone to be captured. How silly of me. But we can still catch them you know. Perhaps a male guinea pig. Perhaps Logan."

"He's just a cripple." Even as the words left Max's mouth she knew she was lying. Logan could never be just a cripple. Logan was everything to her and apparently Lydecker knew that.

"You." Lydecker spoke coldly to one of the doctors. "Go get me Logan Cale. We clearly need him."

"Yes sir." The doctor replied hurrying off to do the master's bidding. Max scoffed and then burst out crying. What was wrong with her?

"Oh goody." Lydecker cooed. "The side effects are kicking in."

"What are you talking about?"

"Of the meds we gave you when you were knocked out. Your will power should dissolve into nothingness as soon as Logan gets here."

"I doubt it." She shot through her tears.

"I don'." He replied and then he and the doctors left leaving her to her own thoughts, and tears that now were real.
