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: Please bear with me. I couldn't sleep last night and suddenly got how to end this fanfic. So this chapter is mostly what I thought would fit well in the story. I have to be honest, I didn't know what was going to happen till yesterday. Hope you like it.

Dumont paced back and forth. Every minute he would stop and look at his watch, then he would turn his attention to his men that were searching for the package. His men would take board boxes apart, unwrap envelopes, but still nothing.

Time was passing by and so Dumont's patience. That package must be here, somewhere. We can't leave without it. If Eyes Only gets this package, the information he'll get will be enough to get us out of business. And I would be in jail. If that happens, they'll get somebody to finish me inside. That way they don't have to worry about a leak of information that can link them. Dumont shivered. The simple thought of being finished by his superiors terrified him. He knew his superiors were powerful enough to pay a cold blooded killer to finish him if things went wrong. He had heard about how they used to silence people. Their deaths were slow and agonizing. They couldn't ask for help because they knew the guards had been paid. It was amazing how his superiors controlled almost everything. Nobody would guess they were the same people who governed in Seattle.

Sweat invaded Dumont's forehead. He took a black handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face. If we don't find that package, we'll have to burn this place with these people inside. The police won't know why we were here and find instead four bodies, or at least what was left of them. Dumont was about to order his men to burn the place over when one of them approached to him with an envelope on his hand.

"Sir, I think we've found it.", the man said as he handed Dumont the envelope.

Dumont raised an eyebrow in surprise. He put his handkerchief in his pocket and took the envelope from the man's hand. The man stood in front of him motionless as he extracted the envelope's content. Reports that involved people in high places by letting criminals free in exchange of large amounts of money, photographs of Dumont himself bribing judges, and information about locations where Dumont's men met; all this made Dumont smile in relief.

Dumont turned to the man. "You've done a good job. I'll be sure to give you a small reward because of this."

The man slightly smiled and nodded. "Thanks, sir."

Dumont sighed. All his fears of being finished had vanished. "Now, let's see who is the man behind Eyes Only…" Dumont turned the envelope and saw the address the package had been sent to. He read. "Fogle Towers, Mr. Logan Cale."

Dumont turned his eyes away from what he had just read. Ideas rushed through his mind when he looked at the office where George, Normal, Max and Logan were.

"Sir, we're almost there. Do you wish we enter the place using deadly force?

"Only if necessary.", Lydecker replied to the leader of the Special OPS team. He wanted his kids safe and sound. If they entered using deadly force, they could kill her. That wouldn't be good after what had happened to Ben. The Committee wanted the X-5's back, but there was no use if they brought them back dead.

"Are your men using tazers?", Lydecker asked.

"Yes, sir. They still got 'em from last time.", the leader said referring to the time when Max and Jace escaped.

"Good. I want your men to use them. We don't need to use deadly force if she's alone."

"And if she's not?", the leader asked.

"Then we will have to finish off everybody that is with her. Keeping those people alive is risking the mission. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir.", the man responded.

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

Normal's office was silent. He and George were sitting on his desk. Every now and then, George would turn around and watch Dumont's female sidekick. Her hair was black, done in a ponytail. She was dressed in black as well as the other men. Her face was pale and her eyes were green. Every time she turned around to watch them, George turned his eyes away from her. It almost seemed like her eyes didn't have life.

Meanwhile, Logan sat on the cold floor with Max's head resting on his lap. Their hands were over Max's belly. He was glad he had been handcuffed to Max, that way he'll be closer to her. He rubbed Max's hand with his fingers as time passed by.

At first, Max kept shaking because of the seizures. But with Logan's soothing touch, it seemed the seizure had slowly gone away.

"I wanted tonight to be special, Max.", Logan whispered. "Just the two of us, having dinner, as always."

Logan turned around and tried to look his right shoulder. He wanted to know how much blood he had lost. He saw the wound. It looks really bad. Lucky me the bullet went through, but still--I need something to stop the bleeding. Let's face it, if Matt doesn't come it'll be more possible of me dying in hands of Dumont or because of a bleed out. Soon I'll be hyperventilating. I just hope Matt gets here before that happens.

He bit his lip in pain. He could feel that burning sensation expand over his shoulder.

"We'll get out of this, Max.", Logan said. There was no response, not even a slight movement of her head, nothing.

Logan raised an eyebrow. Max had been very silent for too long. "Max?" Logan lifted his hand that was joined to hers and saw it didn't move. "Max."

Logan shook Max's body looking for a response. Nothing. "Max! Talk to me!"

Two of Dumont's men stood at Normal's office door. Dumont's female sidekick gave them a nod and let them enter. They approached to Logan and removed the handcuff that joined him to Max.

"The boss wants to see you.", one of the men told Logan.

"No! Max! Please talk to me! Max!", Logan said as he struggled to stay with her.

The two men grabbed Logan by his arms. He held Max's hand tight until one of the men grabbed his arm making him let go of her. The men literally carried Logan out of the office. Max didn't move.
