Max instantly flung herself at Logan and brought him down to the ground next to her. Zack was already running before the windows shattered. Max watched as four figures dressed all in black flew in through the windows on zip lines. They quickly disconnected and pulled out machine-guns. She recognized Terrence and Wren who were immediately closing in on the door to prevent any escape. Max was so preoccupied with making sure Logan was okay that her survival instincts hadn't even kicked in.

Zack however was already in action. As Terrence and Wren moved for the door Zack leapt out from behind the corner and clotheslined Terrence and kicked the gun out of Wren's hands. Mira instantly brought her machine gun up and fired a few rounds into the air before shouted, "Everyone down on the ground and no one gets hurt!"

Logan was reaching in the drawer by his desk for his gun but Jared quickly kicked the desk away and leveled his gun down at Max and Logan, "Don't even think about it. Zack," Jared looked over to Zack with his gun still aimed at Max, "one move and your precious sister gets it."

Zack instantly stopped reaching for Wren's machine-gun and stood up. His face didn't mask the rage he was feeling as he stared down at Jared. Terrence stood up and grimaced as he held his side. Wren put her hand on his shoulder, "Sit down. I'll handle this."

He was about to argue but the look in Wren's eyes caused Terrence to reconsider so he sat in Logan's wheelchair with his machine-gun ready. Wren pushed Zack over to where Max and Logan were and made him kneel on the ground. A fiendish smile of satisfaction was frozen on her face as she watched Zack kneel on the floor but still defiant. She quickly used the butt of her machine-gun to the side of Zack's head causing him to collapse next to Logan.

Max was instantly holding Zack's head in her hands. Zack looked up at Max, a look of failure on his face, "I'm sorry Maxie."

"No, it's not your fault. We'll get out of this," Max insisted. Logan looked on as he tried to sit up feeling slightly rejected at how quickly Max forgot about him in favor of Zack. Wren's smile spread wider as she looked down at the broken Zack.

Jared stood to the side, his gun leveled at the three of them as Mira gave the all clear signal for Jules, Thomas, and Jacen in the hallway.

Jacen walked into the room and smiled at his triumph. He noticed the sadness in Max's eyes but quickly dismissed it as a feeling of elation came over him as he stared down at Zack who sat on the ground holding his head. "So Zack, we meet again. I bet you never thought you'd see me again. Next time you stab someone in the back make sure they're dead." Wren threw a quick glance to Terrence, there was more to the story than they knew.
