Max could already see the truck at the end of the dark alleyway. The blonde haired man who had grabbed her was now just behind her with his hand in-between her shoulder blades to keep propelling her forward. The other two he was with were already in the truck and backing it up. Just as the truck got to them Max jumped into action. Bursting forward she leapt against the lowered door of the moving-type truck and leapt backwards. Turning in midair Max brought her knees to her chest and brought her hands under her body and in front of her.
Max hit the ground hard and her knee dug into the asphalt. Quickly jumping up she found her captor nearly five feet away and not moving at all. Max smiled at him, "Looks like I'm going to be more than you can handle."
Max could see his blue eyes reflect the moon light from far above as he smiled, "I really don't think so. I always come prepared."
Max knew her superior speed and strength gave her the advantage even though she was handcuffed. Leaping forward she placed her right foot just in front of the man and swung her left leg around, her foot aimed at his head. The man was already out of the way and grabbed the chain between her wrists and pulled forward using all his strength. Max found herself flung forward past the young man but she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down next to her. He was fast but Max was faster as she leapt up and kicked with all her strength into his side sending him rolling over.
It was then that Max saw the back of his neck and the barcode that was etched there. Visions of barcodes flashed through her mind and she realized this wasn't one she knew of. Before she could react the man was already up and swept her feet out from under her. He placed his right foot on her knee cap and looked down at her. Max could feel the pressure as his foot sank deeper and she knew that she had lost. Any more pressure and her knee would snap.
The man grabbed her handcuffs and pulled her arm in front of him. Both of them looking into each others eyes. Max could feel her eyes watering. There were others like her.
