Disclaimer: I don't own any of
the characters, so please don't sue me. I'm just making this because I'm a big
DA fan.
Timeline: I guess it's
somewhere after I and I am Camera, so nothing after that actually really
happens like Tinga being captured by Manticore and all that. I'm also taking
some information given in Meow, like Logan having fixed the exoskeleton and the
implant that can be traced.
Since so many people have
asked for it, here's the next chapter. Read, review and enjoy!
************
Max woke up. She could feel
Logan's jacket covering her weak body. Logan arguing the matter with George
would only serve to emphasize the truth of Logan's words. She thought
everything was a dream, but with her enhanced hearing she proved herself wrong.
Logan was about to turn himself in.
"Logan, this is risky.
You sure about this?", George said.
"There's no other way.
I don't want to know tomorrow that somebody died when I could've done something
about it.", said Logan.
"Logan, we could wait
for the police to come."
"They don't even know
we're here." Logan sighed. "There's no way you're going to talk me
out of this. It's something I've decided I'm going to do. I'm not going to let
this place be covered with bodies of innocent people."
Cheeks burning from fever, Max
opened her lips slowly and was about to call Logan until Normal's voice
interrupted her.
"What's going on?"
The conversation between the two men had drawn Normal's attention.
Logan nodded towards
Normal. "I'm going to talk them
out of this and see if I can make some kind of arrangement to let us
free."
"Ain't that kinda
risky?", asked Original Cindy.
"They're looking for
something," Logan said. "I know what they want and in turn of that
they'll let all of you go."
Everybody remained silent. A
man was going to give his life for the others'. Normal never thought he would
be stuck in a situation like this. He had seen hostage situations in COPS, but
he never thought he'd be in one. Original Cindy felt like all this was like a
bad nightmare, she hoped Sketchy would call for help, but then again, that was
Sketchy. George had delivered that package to Logan, he somehow felt guilty of
this happening. He never thought he had put Logan's life in danger.
Stares invaded the small
room. Everybody was looking at each other as if trying to guess their thoughts.
Max broke the silence from a
corner in the room. "Don't do that, Logan."
Logan turned around facing
Max. "Please, Logan. Don't.",
she begged.
Logan saw Max deep into her
eyes. "Max..."

Back at the tracking van,
Lydecker felt it was taking ages to find Max. "What's taking so
long?"
"Sir, since last search
lasted so long, I've decided to use a new tracking program which will simplify
it. Right now, I'm downloading the software."
Lydecker didn't care what
system was going to be used. He wanted Max, now. "How accurate is this
program you talk about?"
"This program
simplifies the search by tracking two sectors at a time. If the girl's
somewhere in Seattle, we'll know her location in no time with this
program."
"Excellent."
Lydecker smiled. "Please report any novelty related to the search via
radio frequency."
"Yes, sir."
"I'll be patrolling the
city accompanied by a military convoy, just in case." Lydecker stepped off
the tracking van and left with the military convoy into the darkness of the
streets. This time...there's nowhere to go. He held the radio
transmitter tightly waiting for the news he wanted.

"Logan, they'll kill
you."
"Max, it's the only
way. They'll let all of you free and you can get your pills, you need
them.", said Logan. He had tried to convince Max about this idea of his
for a while. He knew his life would be in danger, but he knew Max would die if
she didn't get her pills soon.
"If they find the
package, I'm dead anyway. I'm trying to keep everybody out of this before that
happens. I don't want anything bad happening to you.", Logan held her
hand.
They exchanged looks for a
while. He knew Max was not comfortable with his idea. For god's sake, he was
sacrificing his life for hers. But he thought there was no other way, he had to
do it. Logan let go of Max's hand, while a tear ran down her face. He slowly
stood up and walked towards the door without losing eye contact with Max. God,
please help me.

That's the end of chapter
three. Just one thing, this fanfic is more like an episode I would like to see
on the show, so it's not going to be long. Please let me know what you think of
it by reviewing. I'm running out of ideas and I fear I might end it pretty
soon.
If you have any ideas of
what you want to see next, please post them in your replies. I don't think
there'll be a new chapter up any time soon, but I promise I'll try my best.
I've got some ideas, but I got to develop them. Having said that, please
review. That's the only thing that might make me work better and faster. :)
