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: The end has come. This is the final chapter of my fic. I want to special thank medusa, BlackWolf, AJ, lenkid, shorty, and speeds for your support. I don't think I would've written anything without you.

I also want to thank everybody who took the time to read my story and review.

Said that, I want to let you know this chapter took me so long to write because I really wanted to stick with the characters. Sorry for making you wait :). Now on with the show. Hope you like it.

Logan didn't move, he couldn't. Dumont had come out of nowhere and was now pointing his gun to him.

Dumont saw the envelope in Logan's hands. "Stand up." His finger slid on the gun's trigger. "Now!"

Holding the envelope tight, Logan stood up in front of him. Dumont watched cautiously.

"Give me the envelope.", he ordered.

Logan looked at Dumont's gun pointing now to his chest. He looked down to see the envelope for one last time. He then turned his eyes to Dumont handing it to him.

Dumont took the envelope with his right hand and looked at it. Before he knew it, Logan was over him trying to get the gun off of him. Dumont pulled the trigger shooting near Logan's head.

Dumont dropped the envelope before both fell to the floor still struggling.

"You won't get away with this.", Logan told him.

Logan was now over Dumont, he tried to get the gun with both of his hands. This action caused his shoulder to ache like hell.

Both men tried to get hold of the gun. Seconds later, the gun was fired and none of them moved.

Dumont looked at Logan in the eyes and gasped. Logan raised his hands and looked at them. They were in blood. He moved away from Dumont, the bullet had gone straight to his abdomen. Soon, blood started coming out from Dumont's mouth.

Dumont started gasping for breath while Logan kneeled beside him. Logan saw Dumont fighting the inevitable until his heart stopped.

Logan turned around and saw the envelope lying on the floor again. He took it and then saw the dead bodies that surrounded him. Jam Pony had become in a battlefield.

Watching the bodies, he noticed for the first time that some of them weren't from Dumont's men. He stood up and saw the Manticore Special OPS tags on some of the bodies.

Manticore? How did they get here? They don't know Max works here, as far as we know. What if—

"Freeze!". A group of policemen entered quickly to Jam Pony. Logan turned around looking at them.

"Don't fire!", Matt told them as he approached to Logan that responded with a big sigh of relief.

***********

"Send in the other team.", Lydecker ordered to one of his soldiers. The second team was still in their humvees a couple blocks away from the Jam Pony headquarters.

"Sir, we can't. The police has surrounded the place. It's too risky to do something in their presence since that time when—"

"I know why, soldier. You don't need to mention it." Lydecker sighed. He took his radio transmitter. You won't get away, again.

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

"Locate the signal and keep track of where it's going.", Lydecker ordered through his radio transmitter.

"Sir, there's a problem.", the tracking tech told him.

"What?! What are you talking about? Do what I've told you to do, now!"

"Sir, there is much traffic on the sector. I can't make out which one is the subject. The police might have something to do with this."

There was a long pause. "Report immediately when you get something, understand?" Lydecker seemed angry.

"Yes, sir." The tracking tech turned off the radio and turned around. "Done, ma'am."

Renfro had been standing behind the tracking tech. "Good work," she said as a smile appeared on her face. The project is mine. We'll bring her back, but not now. First, I need to get rid of Lydecker, once and for all.

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

Jam Pony was surrounded by a group of police cars and an ambulance. A few policemen had entered the place to get the handcuffs off of Normal and George while Original Cindy gave Max her pills.

Outside of the Jam Pony headquarters Matt and Logan watched everything that was now happening. Logan was wearing a sling after receiving a brief treatment on his shoulder.

"How's your shoulder?", Matt asked.

Logan watched his shoulder "I'll live," he said.

A couple of policemen carried Dumont's bagged body as Logan and Matt watched.

"So…did Dumont discover that you---"

"That I work for Eyes Only?",  Logan completed.

Matt nodded.

"No, he didn't. Fortunately. He was close to finding out, though.", Logan said.

Another two policemen followed behind carrying the woman's lifeless body. Logan saw Matt watch how the woman's lifeless body was put beside Dumont's inside a van. "You knew her?"

Matt turned around. "She worked at the department. Used to work on hoverdrone systems, governments satellites to help the police department. Years later she resigned, nobody knew why."

"That explains a lot of things.", said Logan as he remembered the information contained in the envelope. God knows how many people inside the police department or even the government are involved,

George came out from Jam Pony and walked towards Matt and Logan.

"George!"

"Hey, Matt.", George said.

"I didn't know you---"

George rubbed his wrists, he had marks from the handcuffs. "I owe Logan for being alive."

Logan smiled. "It was nothing." He saw the ambulance. "Well, I'll leave you two. I have to arrange some things."

**********

A policeman escorted Normal outside Jam Pony. He saw Original Cindy outside, she had given Max some kind of pills inside and left when the policemen told her to.

Normal approached to Original Cindy. She was already waiting for him.

"Before you start complaining about what happened, let me tell you that Original Cindy is not in the mood for coming to work tomorrow. And my boo is going to need a few personal days, too.", she said.

"It's fine."

"Now, don't BS Original Cindy with—", she stopped and looked at Normal. "What'd you just say?"

"I said it's fine."

Original Cindy was shocked, she wasn't expecting that kind of answer from Normal.

"Now, get out of my sight before I take that back.", he told her.

With a smile on her face Original Cindy walked away leaving Normal just outside of Jam Pony. Once she was away, Normal let slip a small grin.

**********

"Hey!" Logan saw Original Cindy walking towards him. He was standing beside the ambulance waiting for Max.

"Hey."

"I was meaning to thank you about what you did. If it wasn't for you—"

Original Cindy cut him off. "No need to do that. Original Cindy did what she had to do."

Both shared a smile.

"About Max…you don't have to worry. She'll be okay, you can go back to your apartment. You need to rest.", Logan told her.

"You sure Max is gonna be aiight? I don't' wanna—"

"I'm sure."

"Well, then…Original Cindy's gonna take a little nap." Both laughed.

Original Cindy walked away towards her apartment. It was now dawn and everybody really needed to rest. Almost everybody had left the place and Logan still stayed outside waiting for Max.

Soon a couple of paramedics carried Max on a stretcher transporting her to the ambulance. They rolled her in the ambulance and Logan followed holding her hand.

"Hey.", he said.

"Logan? You're fine! I thought that…I was scared they would---"

"I'm fine, it finally finished." He looked at her, she had regained color on her cheeks. "You look a lot better now."

"My boo gave me my medicine.", she smiled.

Logan saw her smile. After what had happened, watching Max  smile made him forget what they had been through. "That was some night."

Max nodded, "Yes," she admitted.

"And we even got to spend the night together."

"Yeah, I guess we did," she chuckled.

"I didn't think you were that kind of girl."

"Oh, I'm just full of surprises," she said.

"Talking about surprises---"

"That's right. You were going to give me a surprise tonight.", Max said.

"Last night.", he corrected. "Well…this is it."

"What?" she asked. "So, being in an ambulance after a night full of crazy people that planned to kill you was part of your surprise?"

Logan chuckled. "Sebastian gave me a call a few days ago telling me about a way of getting that implant out of your head without damaging. I didn't want to tell you any of this until I was 100% sure that it would be safe. He called me again…and we're now on our way to his hospital."

He looked at her eyes. She didn't answer.

"What?"

She didn't answer at once. "Nothing." she said.  "Thank you, Logan."

"You're welcome," he said finally.

Max and Logan looked at each other as if time had stopped. Logan held her hand while the ambulance left the place and drove through the streets. The sun was rising and a new day began.

The End
