Logan looked through the glass of water in his hand and looked at his apartment through the wavy effects the water caused. He rolled back over to his computer and took a look at the overhead map he had of the federal check point where the tracking device had stopped. He glanced over at the time he had before the TelNet satellite moved out of position and he would have to wait another twenty minutes for a Department of Defense satellite to pass over the area. This satellite would allow a better angle around the cloud cover and also allow him to pick up heat signatures but the wait was killing him. Even when he was able to see what was going on he still didn't know what he would do.
His wheelchair crunched over the broken glass in the room and he could feel the wind rush over him. It was starting to rain outside and he wondered what he would do about the broken windows. It seemed so trivial though. Here he was powerless to help Max and instead of looking for ways to help he was trying to not think of her. He knew it was impossible and he looked back at the monitor and told himself that he wouldn't move until he thought of something useful.
Before Logan knew it the D.O.D. satellite came into view and he now could see most of the complex. He was surprised to find only one heat signature that seemed to be guarding the building but he became even more surprised when he saw another heat signature following the patrolling guard. Logan wondered if it was Zack trying to infiltrate the premises and suddenly he hoped that he wouldn't kill any of the X-6. To him they were nothing but enemies but he knew they were more to Max. That meant they had to be more to him.
Logan watched the two figures circle for some time when suddenly the one figure rushed behind the other. The two signatures merged and Logan could only assume that some sort of struggle or interaction was going on. These two heat sources stayed together for a few minutes before moving off in the same direction and too close together to identify. Theories ran through Logan's head but the most obvious one was that Zack had taken out one of the X-6 and had dragged them off into the bushes.
Looking back at the building Logan noticed another guard coming around the side and that he would be where Zack had attacked the guard in a few minutes. Logan found himself on the edge of his seat and felt slightly ashamed that he was actually getting some entertainment value out of this. Suddenly off to the side he saw several large vehicles with multiple heat sources driving on to the scene. They began to circle the building and one parked right where Zack had been. Suddenly Zack was no longer there and Logan couldn't find his heat signature anywhere.
A bright flash caused Logan to reel back from the screen and he knew an explosion had been set off where the guard had been patrolling. Suddenly the other guard came rushing around the corner to see what the sound had been and then went running back into the building. Logan could only think that Lydecker would arrive in Hummers but why would he be cutting off the area and why would he be setting off explosions near the building?
Logan took off his glasses briefly to rub his eyes and then put them back on. The cloud cover was slowly starting to creep across the screen and he knew in a few moments he would lose the picture. The explosion had left dozens of heat sources and combined with the incoming soldiers it was hard to tell what was going on. The only way to tell if a heat source was from a fire was when it would be extinguished by the rain that Logan realized must be coming down heavily in that area.
Finally the cloud cover completely covered the screen and Logan backed away from the computer. He rolled over to the table where he was working on the exoskeleton and tried to work on it but finally gave up and started thinking about Max. His mind wouldn't just let him forget about her that easily. Logan promised himself that if she made it out of this he would tell her how he felt but just as Logan promised himself this another thought ran through his head. How exactly did he feel about her?
