Emotion

Jam pony:

Soilders entered the destroyed building for Max. She was wide awake. They thought that she was going to be asleep. Or knocked out. They were wrong. Max got up. "Original Cindy are you ok?" she asked.

"Yeah, boo. What the hell was that?" Original Cindy asked.

"Dunno," Max said. "Get down." She said as she saw three soilders come her way.

"You," One soilder asked Max. "Your coming with me."

"Yeah right." Max said jumping up unleashing a kick to the mans stomach knocking him down. The other two soilders shot out tasers at her. She fell to the ground. Original Cindy got a piece of debris and slammed it into the mans head knocking him out.

Max kicked another in his head. "Let's blaze."

Cindy and Max headed out. Soilders were everywhere. Max and Cindy ducked under a truck. "Hold onto the little bars. Just until we are scott free from these assholes."

Cindy nodded and held on. They were about a mile away from Jam pony.

"Let go," Max said as Cindy and her fell off.

"What about everyone else?" Cindy asked. "Sketchy, Normal, Herbal..."

"I dunno." Max said.

"What was that all about, anyway?" Cindy asked.

"I really dont know. Manticore." Max said. "Logan's lets go."

"Ok," Cindy said.

Logan's aparment:

"So they blew up your job?" Logan said.

"Yeah," Max said.

"Well, you should be getting ready for Krit." Logan said.

"Krit?" Original Cindy asked.

"My little brother. They got Zack. And I am going to help." Max said. "Tonight."

Manticore:

Lydecker entered Mademe X's office.

"X," Lydecker said.

"Deck," Mademe X said, "What do you want?"

"I dont know what type of games your playing but something big is about to go down." Lydecker said. "Between you and me. You arent going to kill any of my X-5's. My kids."

"And your so sure about that?" Mademe X said.

"Yeah I'm sure." Lydecker said.

"Well we might just have to terminate you then." Mademe X said.

"I will find a way to warn my kids." Lydecker said.

Television screens across America:

This is Eye's only. This is a message going out to Manticore. You were wrong for what you did today and you will be stopped. You wont get any of the X-5's."

Logan's aparment:

"Thanks," Max said.

"No problem," Logan said.

"Original Cindy you should stay here until this thing is over." Max said.

"Ok, but be careful, boo" Original Cindy said.

"I will." Max promised.

Krit walked through the door. "Ready?"

"Yeah," Max said. Krit walked out.

Max looked into Logan's eyes. She tilted in for a kiss. "Max!" Krit screamed.

"Here I come," Max said getting up. "See ya,"

Streets of Seattle:

"Where we headed?" Max asked.

"Manticore," Krit said.

They got on her motorcycle and were on their way. "We are not gonna make it their tonight." Max screamed.

"We will stop at a motel on our way," Krit said.

Reds headquaters:

"So Lydecker we can get her back for you," Mike said.

"How?"Lydecker asked.

"She has one of our implants in her head and it has some type of alloy that is traceable." Mike said.

"Why would she use one?" Lydecker asked.

"Long story," Mike said. "But do you want our help?"

"Yeah," Lydecker said.

Motel:

Max laid in the bed couldnt sleep. "So where were you?"

Krit sat up. "When I escaped I went to Baltimore."

"Land of drugs and death. Why?" Max asked.

"It was a place that needed help and since I was all helpy and stuff. I went."Krit said.

"How did Zack get taken back?" Max asked.

"He met up with me and we were trying to help Syl. And they were their ready to get him. But me and her got away.They will be meeting up with us in a few days." Krit said.

Their was a knock on the door. "I'll get it," Max said.

She went to the door and opened it. Their was Lydecker standing their alone."Hey,"

"What the hell are you doing here?" Max asked as Krit got ready to attack.

"I need help," Lydecker said.

"Like damn you do," Krit said lunging in for him.

"Wait!" Max said. "Let's here him out. Talk!"

"Manticore is about to attack," Lydecker said.

"You kidnapped Zack," Krit said.

"That wasnt me, that was X." Lydecker said.

"X?" Max asked.

"She is another person in charge of you. Me I'm play school, she is the big leagues." Lydecker said. "Call me at this number." He said handing her a piece of paper with his cell number on it.

"Why should we trust you?" Krit asked.

"Just do it," Lydecker said.

Logan's apartment:

He heard a knock at his door. He rolled over to the door. He opened it to be knocked down by soilders.

Mademe X entered. "Where is the X-5?"

"She isnt here." Logan said.

"Well, you know what? I just dont believe that." Mademe X said. "Bring him in."

The soilders dragged him. Original Cindy was watching from under the desk.


Motel:

The phone rang. "Hello," Max said.

"They got Logan," Original Cindy said.

"No, who?" Max asked.

"Those peeps that blew up Jam pony." Original Cindy said.

"No," Max said as she hung up the phone. "Krit I gotta go back,"

"No," Krit said. "Why?"

"They got my boyfriend." Max said, she couldnt even believe she just said that.
