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.

A/N: Ice, you're the best for helping me out with this fanfic. Most of it is possible thanks to you. Cynthia, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank you so much for being my friend. Your friendship helped go through hard times. This chapter is more like a birthday gift for you. I know you're going to like it as much as medusa, BlackWolf, AJ, lenkid, and Script Chick will. Don't forget to review! Enjoy!

Original Cindy watched everything that had just happened. She wasn't used to see Max crying, she had always been strong. She couldn't help it and approached to her rubbing her arms.

"It's gonna be aiight, boo.", she told Max. "He knows what he's doin'."

No, he's not. She thought. Max opened her eyes and saw that Logan was still watching her. He then pushed his glasses up turning his eyes to the door.

"I want to speak to your boss.", Logan told the guard.

The guard inspected Logan up and down, he then turned around and called Dumont. "Sir, this guy wants to talk to you."

Dumont saw Logan and gave the guard a nod. The guard pushed Logan out of Normal's office pointing him with a machine gun in his back. "Move.", he ordered.

The cold metal of the machine gun on his back made Logan tense up as he walked towards Dumont. Once he was in front of him, the guard made him stop still pointing him with the machine gun.

"You want to talk to me?"

"You want Eyes Only, I can get you to him."

************

Both Original Cindy and Max watched what was happening from the floor. Logan had been placed in front of Dumont who was heavily guarded by his female sidekick and a tall man. Original Cindy looked around in the office and saw George standing beside a wall and Normal sitting in his chair watching the bullet holes around his feet.

"We've got to do something.", Original Cindy said.

"But what? Logan's out there risking his life to get us out of here. If only the police--"

"That's it." Original Cindy turned around to see if someone had heard her. "Original Cindy's gonna take us outta here.", she whispered to Max.

"But--" Original Cindy covered Max's mouth. She didn't want anyone to notice what she was about to do. Original Cindy slowly crawled to the door giving her friend a quick glance.

*************

Dumont paced in front of Logan. "Let me get this straight. You're going to give me Eyes Only if I let everybody in that room free?"

Logan nodded.

"And you think I'm going to believe you?!", Dumont snapped and hit Logan in the face with his gun.

Logan spitted blood from his mouth. He was about to fall, but the guard held him and helped him stand up.

"You think you can fool me by telling me you know Eyes Only?!", Dumont snapped again and this time he punched Logan in the stomach with his free hand. Logan bent down gasping for breath. His eyes turned towards Normal's office and saw Original Cindy cautiously getting out without being seen.

Dumont laughed at Logan. "I don't like people like you. Always trying to play the hero. The only thing you've got is getting your friends killed sooner that I had planned." Dumont gave the guard a nod.

"No! Wait!"

Dumont gave the guard another nod. "What? You want more?", Dumont rubbed his fist.

Logan managed to stand up straight. "I am Eyes Only."

"You think I'm playing?!?" Dumont punched Logan in the stomach again. This time Logan recovered himself quickly to confront him face to face.

Dumont was about to connect another punch to Logan's face while Original Cindy stood a couple meters away from the entrance. She slipped with a sheet of paper that was on the floor and fell making Dumont and his group glance up at the sound she had made.

"Run! Go with Matt!", Logan yelled.

Dumont pointed Original Cindy with his nine millimeter. Logan noticed Dumont's intention and tried to prevent a disaster. He practically jumped over Dumont trying to get the gun off of his hands.

"Go!", Logan called out as he battled with Dumont over the possession of the gun.

"Shoot her! Don't let her escape!" Dumont ordered the men. A blast of automatic fire was thrown towards Original Cindy's direction. She managed to get up and exit the building intact while Logan and Dumont struggled for the gun.

The battle between the two men continued. Dumont's men couldn't do anything to get Logan off of their boss. It was too dangerous, then a gunshot was heard. Silence invaded the Jam Pony headquarters.

***************

Logan's fragrance coming from his jacket placed over her, gave her strength. She took Logan's jacket off of her and turned to the door. Though the seizures had exhausted her, Max managed to crawl next to the door. She wanted to see what was happening from a closer angle.

Then bullets flew everywhere and she covered her ears from the gunshots. Normal and George crouched fearing to get hit by one of those bullets. Once the blast stopped, she quickly turned her eyes to the entrance and noticed Original Cindy had successfully escaped. Her eyes turned to the battle between Logan and Dumont and she could hear that gunshot almost inside her head. She saw Logan slowly fall facing her. He reached his hand as if Max was there to hold it, though they were meters apart. Max was able to reach her hand, too. She felt Logan tried to tell her something with those blue eyes of his before he hit the floor.

Max could've shouted, but she didn't have enough strength to do it. All she could do was look in horror at the blood that already covered part of Logan's chest.

You're going to say that I'm mean by letting you hanged like this, because next chapter will not be up as soon as I would like to. I really hope this BW technique works for me! :D Don't worry, the next chapter will be good, I promise.
