Thomas, Mira, Steph, Jared, Jules, and Terrence left immediately, taking the van to go pick up Krit. Logan completely confessed that he had learned that Zack was in the area and had purchased a motel room near the space needle under his alias "Hanover". It made sense to Logan that he had stashed Krit there or at the needle itself.

Max glared across the room at Logan, her eyes burning into him. Logan stared out the broken windows but occasionally glanced at Max. Zack stared out the window as well. Initially he was enraged that Logan would sell Krit out but he was thankful that he didn't have to do it himself to save Max. Now at least he could say he would never have given up the information even though he knew he'd have broken sooner or later.

Jacen sat in a chair across from Max as he continued to stare at her causing Max some discomfort. Wren sat on the couch keeping an eye on Logan and Zack while Seth sat on the very ledge of the broken windows looking out over the city just inches from certain death.

After several minutes Max looked over to Jacen and whispered, "Why is he sitting at the window?"

Jacen glanced over his shoulder at Seth and turned back to Max, it was evident that there was no tension or anger between them, in fact Max felt sorry and sympathized with Jacen, "He's always been like that. Ever since he was little he always liked high places."

Max smiled as she thought of Ben who also loved high places, "Why is he so quiet?"

Jacen sighed and sat down next to Max, it was almost as if they were somewhere else and nothing had ever come between them, "He used to be one of the most talkative of us all." Jacen smiled and his eyes became softer as his memory started to work over, "He used to tell the best stories. It was amazing how he could come up with them. When Kris died he stopped talking and only occasionally tell stories of some blue lady and about the anomalies."

At first Max zoned out when she heard about the blue lady but when she heard about the anomalies she came crashing back to the penthouse floor where she sat, "Nomilies...." Max started to trail off, "Ben used to tell stories about them. He also spoke of a blue lady, someone who he himself made up. That just doesn't make sense."

All of a sudden everything became clear to Jacen. This Ben was the one Seth had been relating to in those last few months before the escape. Something wasn't right though. Jacen shook his head and looked at Max who had suddenly become quiet and sad. Nothing more needed to be said for Jacen but it was something Seth had to know.

Jacen stood up and walked over to the window and sat down next to Seth. Neither of them said anything for several minutes. It was almost as if they could communicate without speaking as they had done many times before. Seth finally turned to Jacen and saw the look on his face. Jacen glanced from Seth over to Max who sat there watching them.

Max saw Seth stand up and start walking over to her but she was focused on Jacen. It amazed her how in one minute he could be so focused on pain and another moment he could be so open. It was almost as if he had Zack's strength but Logan's compassion and dedication. Max suddenly found herself wondering what would happen to her and the others for the first time. For some reason she didn't think Jacen could go through with taking them back to Manticore. After all, he too once had dreams of leaving Manticore.

A chair pulled up next to her and as Max looked up she found Seth staring down at her. He had the oddest gray eyes that made Max uncomfortable. It was as if he knew what she was saying before it even happened. It was then she heard him speak for the first time, his voice was soothing and calm but sad, "How did it happen?"

Max looked up surprised that he knew exactly what was going on as he continued, "Don't be surprised. It was just intuition. When Lydecker showed pictures, sketches, bar code numbers and other information on X-5 he had nothing on Ben. I knew then that he wasn't including anything because we wouldn't be coming after him. Did he not make it in the escape?"

Tears welled up in Max's eyes and her body shook softly as she cried, shaking her head. "I'm so sorry. Jacen told me what happened to Kris and........ then the escape." She tried to calm herself as she wiped the tears that streamed down her cheeks but when she looked back up at Seth he seemed completely devoid of emotion. Almost like he had already dealt with all the pain. "Ben wasn't right. Something, I don't know if it was his genes or what, but he just kept on killing. He begged me to take his life because he didn't want to go back to Manticore. He didn't want to be thrown in with the nomilies." Max knew the correct way to say the word but to her it seemed as if that was the only word that gave justice to the fear that Ben had of the anomalies.

Max looked up to Seth as she wiped at the residue of tears that had streamed down her face but he wasn't there. She looked around and was shocked to find that he had silently left. Jacen too was looking around in a confused manner and he came over to her, "What happened?"

She could feel her teeth almost break the skin of her lip as she bit into it, "I don't know. He was just here." It was then Max noticed the door was wide open and that Seth was completely gone. Jacen followed Max's eyes to the open door and ran out into the hallway. Max heard the elevator open and close as Jacen hurried to comfort Seth.

Max snapped out of her daze when she heard a muffled cry and a thud on the floor. There in the middle of the room lay Wren unconscious on the ground and suddenly her mind shifted to earlier that evening when she had fallen to the asphalt. Looking up she saw Zack looking down at her, rage in his eyes and his shoulders rising up and down. She followed his eyes down to Wren but something was in-between Zack and Wren's limp form. Max instantly recognized the gun from Logan's desk.
