A/N- Ok guys, here's the next chapter. It's a little later than I promised, but (enter blackmail here ;)) since I didn't get a lot of reviews last time, I didn't rush to get this one out.

Also, I've started a webpage, that is still highly under construction, but has got a lot of really great fics on there. Check it out if you want to at http://www.ucalgary.ca/~pdhperen/demo.html.

Aimee- thanks for the edits. So many things wouldn't make sense if you weren't checking this thing over for me ;)

On with the show.......

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

"Alright sexy, we're going on a road trip. Get changed."

Logan opened his eyes when a pile of clothes were thrown at him. He looked up to see the woman that he had learned was named Agent Joshua, smiling at him. Looking down at the clothes that were now in his lap, Logan finally realized that he had been sitting in only his robe all morning. Logan looked back up at Joshua and gave her a grin. "That'd be great, but see the thing is, I don't know if I'll do that."

Agent Joshua raised an eyebrow. "I could always help you you know."

Logan stared back at her hoping to catch her bluff. However, it didn't appear as though she was going to crack anytime soon, and eventually he caved in. He grabbed the clothes and stood up to get changed. "If you don't mind, I'm just going to use the bathroom before we go."

Agent Joshua narrowed her eyes. "Fine, but I'm listening in, and if I hear you say anything, I'm breaking in there to check up on you."

Logan watched as a smile came across Joshua's face. Somehow I have a feeling she's going to bust in any chance she gets. Logan started walking towards the bathroom, and closed the door. As he began to pull on the clothes he had, thoughts started to wind through his head. Max'll have a field day when she meets Joshua. Oh Max. Where are you? Do you even know what's going on? You're a smart girl. I'm sure you've figured it out. I hope you don't come to get me though. These people mean business, and I don't want you getting caught because of me.

"Sweetie, are you done in there yet?"

The sound of Joshua's voice and the tapping on the door brought Logan out of his thoughts. Logan pulled on his pants, and walked out the door. "Let's go!"

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

Logan sat in the back of a van with Agent Joshua sitting across from him. Her constant staring was starting to unnerve him. The shrill ring of her cell phone caught him off guard, and he jumped in his seat.

Joshua answered her phone, and was immediately greeted with the voice of one of the officers under her command. After she had gotten Logan ready to go and had gotten him on the road, she had left orders with this private to continue cleaning Logan's apartment in search of anything related to X5-452. While she was still there, she had found pictures of the two together, but that could have been a simple, short relationship, thus not proving that Cale knew anything about the transgenic's past. Joshua had told the private to only call her when he found something that would be useful, so she was interested in what he had to say. "Report, private."

"Sir, as I was leaving Cale's residence, the phone rang. I think you'll be interested in the message that was left. I'm emailing it to you now."

Joshua opened her laptop and downloaded the new message.

"Logan, it's me. I'm ok, I'm with Zack and Jondy. I'll keep calling you until I get an answer, so when you get home, *stay there*. Talk to you soon. I love you."

Joshua smiled. She couldn't believe her good luck. This message was all the evidence that she needed. "Thank you private. Excellent work." Joshua closed her phone. Silver was going to be pleased with this. Cale better count his blessings, because he just ran out of miracles. She looked up at Logan and smiled. "It looks like your girlfriend is worried about you. She should really be worried about herself."

Logan froze the second that he heard Max's voice. He knew that the situation had just escalated from a bad situation to an extremely bad situation. He looked out the window, and could only pray that Max somehow would figure out what was really going on and would somehow find a way to survive.

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

Agent Joshua had been reluctant, but after a long day of driving, she finally allowed Logan to go to the bathroom. While he was in there, she watched the people walk by. One girl in particular caught her attention. The girl was about 5' 5" with shoulder length blonde hair, and was carrying enough food for at least three people. Joshua leaned forward and tapped on the grate that connected the front seat to the prisoner area in the back where she was sitting. "Private, what town are we in?"

The man sitting in the driver's seat tilted his head back a bit so that he could answer her. "I believe that we are in Lethbridge sir."

Agent Joshua leaned back. "Thank you private." That girls looks a lot like the suspect that left Cale's residence with X5-452 and X5-599. I'll have to alert Silver to that.

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

Logan walked beside Joshua through the downtown area of Calgary. He looked around, thinking that there was someway that he could just run, but he had no where to go, and even if he did, he would have no idea how to get there. He had no money on him, no identification, and more importantly, no sector passes. Logan looked up and could see the Calgary Tower looming, and his heart began to race. During the entire road trip, he had tried to get some information on the man that he would soon be meeting, but everyone was reluctant to talk about him. Almost as if they were terrified of him, which could more than likely have been true. Logan was still looking up at the Tower when Joshua grabbed his arm.

"Here, come this way. We're making a short side trip."

Logan looked intently all around him. They entered a large building that at one time appeared to be a mall. Now, it was home to a lot of people. Joshua led Logan through the building towards the inner core. He looked in amazement when the mall opened up to really, one massive room. There were about four stories, with each floor going in a perfect square. The floors were connected by old escalators that were no longer functioning, but were still passable. Joshua headed towards the one, and began climbing. Logan silently followed her, and tried to move as far over as he could whenever one of the locals came down the stairs. Being the outsider, he didn't want to provoke any of them. Joshua continued climbing the floors until she reached the top. Logan looked in awe when he saw where they were going. The entire top floor was entirely closed off, but inside the enclosure was a jungle of sorts. Logan looked at the small sign over the one door and could make out that it was called the "Devonian Gardens." Logan followed Joshua in, and right away was hit with the overpowering smell of the outdoors. At one time the plants were kept neat, and paths led through the place, but now everything was overgrown, and many of the walkways were impassible. Joshua led Logan near the back of the room, and held up a vine for him, making visible a small flight of stairs. Logan walked down them, and waited until Joshua passed him. They continued walking until he saw a small figure crouched in the shadows.

"You got my money?"

Logan first looked to the small figure, and then looked to Joshua, who was now focusing in on the small figure.

"Of course I do. Do you have my stuff?"

The small figure pulled something out of her jacket and handed it to Joshua. She took the package, and gave the money she was holding to the little girl.

Logan looked closely at the exchange, curious as to what was going on, and then focused in on what Joshua was now doing. It seemed to be a pill bottle that she held, and she quickly opened it, taking out a few pills and shooting them back.

Joshua could sense Logan staring at her, and shot him a glare. "What? I have a neurological condition that requires these."

Logan narrowed his eyes. "Right." That definitely wasn't Tryptophan. Somehow I have the feeling that those pills are not for medicinal reasons. This could prove valuable later on.

Joshua glared at Logan and then pulled him along. "Come on. We're going to be late, and Silver does not like it when people are late."

As they were leaving the gardens, Logan noticed a small bench tucked away. Hmmm. If I ever get out of this, I'm going to have to bring Max here. She'll like this.

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

Minutes later, Logan found himself carefully watching the leader as he paced around the table, and went in behind Logan. As he did, Logan stared straight ahead, not really focusing in on anything. The dizzying heights were a bit unnerving for him, but since it was a similar sight that he had from his penthouse, that allowed him to relax just a bit. Logan tensed right up again however when he felt the hot breath of Silver on his neck.

"Won't the people of Seattle be worried when the great Eyes Only suddenly isn't broadcasting anymore? They may begin to think that he has abandoned them."

Logan stiffened with the words that were coming out of Silver's mouth.

Silver walked around the side of the table so that he could look Logan right in the eye. "Yes, I know that you're Eyes Only, but that doesn't concern me. You could be the Easter Bunny for all I care." Silver grinned a bit. "Although, I heard that your Uncle Jonas puts on a great act as the Easter Bunny. Junior." Silver smirked at Logan.

"Well, since you know so much about me, why don't you let me in on a bit about yourself?"

"Ah, ah, ah. But a true bad guy never reveals his true identity. If he did, when the good guy, which would be you by the way, got away, he'd have everything he would need to put away his enemy for good."

Logan sat in the chair and watched Silver as he paced. "Well you're obviously not going to be letting me go, so why not tell me? Give you someone to bounce ideas off of." Logan looked at Silver and leaned back in his chair as Silver moved into his personal space.

"Come on Cale. I'm older than you. Don't you think I saw the same movies as you? James Bond always found himself in this position."

"Yeah, and he always won."

Silver's mouth contorted into a wicked grin. "That, my friend, was in the movies. This however, is real life, and in real life, the good guys don't always win."

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

Jondy sat staring at her two siblings. Ever since Max had sat down on the bed after calling Logan, no one had moved. Max sat cross-legged on the bed, Zack sat in the chair near the table that still held the empty food cartons, and Jondy was in the other chair near the table. The only thing that had been moving in the room, was Max's eyes. They kept darting to the phone, perhaps in a vain attempt to get it to ring; to have Logan find the number that she dialed from and call her back, and then back to Zack.

Jondy kept glancing between Max and Zack. She was certain that when she had gone for a bathroom break that something would happen, but when she returned, both Max and Zack were in the same positions. Truthfully, at this point, she was getting bored. Jondy never did have a very long attention span, and this staring contest had gone on way too long for her. She needed something to do, and she wanted to find something to do quickly. Praying that someone would start talking, Jondy's leg started bouncing in anticipation.

Max sat on the bed, her mind racing with worry and regret. I hope Logan's ok. But then again, if these people were after me, they wouldn't take him, right? But then he was harboring a criminal, so maybe they would take him. But this still all goes back to, how did Lydecker find us? Is Zack right in that he finally figured out where I stay? That can't be it though. It just can't. I'm always so careful, and lately Logan and I haven't even really been in Seattle all that much for him to track us. Oh Logan, I should have gotten you out of there. This is all Zack's fault. Max began to get more and more angry as she began to delve deeper into recent events. Zack. This all goes back to Zack. He's the only one that knows where I live, and Jondy said that he was talking to someone in Manticore. But then again, Jondy didn't know if it was someone from Manticore. It could be someone else he told. But why would he tell them? Wait a minute, he had that same water that Jondy had. He said so himself. That means that it was him that told these people where I live. Zack is the one that led them to me. Zack is the one that made me leave. Zack is one that got Logan captured. Zack is the one that's going to pay. Max looked up at Zack with venom in her eyes.

Jondy had been watching Max intently for the past few minutes, and could almost see the gears turning in her head. But when Max looked up with pure hatred glowing in her eyes, Jondy froze in her spot. But as soon as she froze, she knew she had to get out of there. Quickly grabbing the empty containers of food, Jondy stood up and ran out of the room, quite intent with avoiding this confrontation that she knew was going to get ugly.

Zack gripped the arms of his chair as he saw the look that Max was now giving him. He knew that something was coming, but for the life of him, he couldn't tell what that was, and that scared him. Especially since this was Max coming after him; the one person back at Manticore that could invoke some damage to him. "Max?"

Max narrowed her eyes and started to stalk towards Zack. "Don't you 'Max' me. I finally figured it out Zack. It took me awhile, but I figured it out." Max came right up to Zack and grabbed his neck, slowly lifting him out of the chair. "It was you Zack. You're the one that told these people where to find me. You're the one that made me leave." Max continued to lift Zack higher and higher until he was as high as she could reach. "You're the one that got Logan captured. And because of that, you're going to be the one to pay." As blind rage began to take over Max's senses, her fingers began to close over Zack's throat, squeezing the life out of his body.

Realizing that Max was in fact going to kill him, Zack decided that he would have to act. Bringing his arms down on the arm that was holding him captive, he could hear the telltale sound on a joint dislocating. He couldn't be sure, but he assumed it was her elbow, possibly her shoulder. Either way, he didn't care, because the pressure on his esophagus was now gone. Falling back on his training, Zack knew that the threat was still there, so he immediately punched his captor in the chest, causing a crunching sound as a few ribs broke.

Max stumbled back from the pain. She felt like she was breathing in fire because her lungs hurt so much. Her shoulder was out of joint, but she took her hand and shoved it back into place, ignoring the grinding sound that could be heard as the bones rubbed over each other. As soon as Logan reappeared in her thoughts however, she lunged at Zack, catching his jaw with her fist. Now that he was off balance, she crouched down, and swept his feet out from underneath him. As he fell, his head hit the small table that held the TV, breaking the table in the process, and creating a sickening sound as bone met wood.

Dazed, Zack grabbed the back of his head, and looked up into the eyes of Max.

"Why did you do it Zack? Have you been working for Lydecker all this time? Did you sell us all out? Why Zack?" Max fell back into her fighting stance, never letting her guard down for a second, even though her opponent was down.

Zack could take a lot of punches, but the cold slap of being called a traitor pushed him over the edge. He jumped up from his position and attacked Max. Punches and kicks were thrown and blocked. Counter punches and lunges were made. As various things in the room were destroyed, neither Max nor Zack took notice as they were fully focused on their fight. Max seemed to have the upper hand though. For all of Zack's warnings that emotions would be her downfall, they seemed to be her upper hand as they gave her strength through the battle. Grabbing whatever material of Zack's coat as she could, Max took him in her arms, and threw him against the wall. As the wall buckled under the pressure, Zack slid to the ground, defeated.

As all of her adrenaline rushed out of her body, Max collapsed to the floor. "What happened Zack. I need to know." With no strength left to even talk, Max's words came out in a whisper. Even the whisper was strained. Her voice sounded eerily similar to when she was close to dying after her fight with the Reds.

Zack looked up at her, and wiped the blood out of his eyes that was coming from a deep cut in his forehead that had occurred at some point in the fight. "It's not Lydecker Max, it's someone much more ruthless."

Max narrowed her eyes in confusion. "What?"

Zack sighed. He knew that he would have to tell her everything. But, maybe with this knowledge, they could somehow help their siblings, as well as Logan. "It's not Lydecker that's after you this time Max, it's someone else."

"You said that already. Who is this someone else?"

"His name is Andrew Silver. He's based out of Calgary."

"What does he want with us?"

"Same thing everyone else does. If he can get his hands on one of us, he can make more, or sell us to the highest buyer. I got wind of him just before this serum was released in the water. Thinking that I would stay one step ahead of him, I found a mole in his operation. I wanted to use this guy to tell me what Silver was up to. He seemed legit enough, letting me know about the serum. It was my fault that I didn't get to Jondy in time, otherwise everything would be fine."

Max pulled herself over to the bed so that she had something soft to lean against. Her breathing was becoming more and more ragged because of her ribs, but she was too focused on Zack's confession to worry about it. "You still haven't gotten to the part of letting them know where I live."

Zack took a deep breath and shifted his position as well so that he was sitting more upright against the wall. "Right. When we were in Portland with you and Logan, I went to check in on my inside man."

"Right. That must've been the contact that Jondy was talking about."

Zack merely nodded. "I don't really remember what questions he asked me. The serum must have been answering for me. All I can gather is that he asked where they could find you, and, because of the serum in me, I told them all they wanted to know."

"But I thought you said that you could trust this guy."

"I was wrong."

"Zack! This is a hell of a time for you to be wrong about something!"

"Look, Max, there's nothing that can be done about that now."

Max drew her legs up beside her. The voice that she spoke to Zack with came out a lot weaker than she would have wanted. "Did you tell him about Logan?"

Zack looked to the floor and shook his head. "I don't know." He looked back up to Max with sorrow in his eyes. "I honestly don't know."

The look of sorrow in Zack's eyes was almost Max's undoing, but she couldn't let herself forgive him just yet. She had to find Logan, and with the gut feeling that she was beginning to have, she had to find him soon. "We have to find Logan, Zack. He's in trouble. I know it." Max narrowed her eyes once again at Zack and let the eyes of a cold blooded killer peer out. "And I swear, if anything happens to Logan that I don't like..."

Zack held up his hand to Max. "Don't even finish that Max. We'll get him back."

"We don't even know where to start looking."

"Silver's based in Calgary, so why don't we go there?"

"How do we even know he's there? He could be anywhere!"

Just at that moment, Jondy walked into the room, and covered her mouth with her hand. She closed the door behind her, and took stock of the now destroyed room. Her eyes then swept towards Max, who was clutching her chest, and Zack, who was slumped against a very broken wall. "Oh my god! I shouldn't have left you two!" Jondy ran towards her sister, knowing that Zack never liked to be doted on. Jondy crouched down behind Max, and pulled her up so that she was leaning against her chest. "Max, are you ok?" Jondy could hear Max's labored breaths, and was worried.

Max looked over at Zack and smiled. "Yeah. Just letting some tension out."

Zack smiled back at Max, but Jondy wasn't impressed. "Jesus Zack! First of all you drug her, and then you go and crack a couple of her ribs..." Jondy looked at Max's shoulder, and saw how Max seemed to be favoring it. "...and then dislocate her shoulder too? What the hell is wrong with you?"

Max struggled out of Jondy's grasp. "Girl, it's ok. We've kind of worked this out." Max saw the look of surprise on Jondy's face, and explained quickly so that Jondy would understand. "I'll tell you everything in the car, but we think that Logan might be in Calgary."

Jondy raised an eyebrow, and nodded once. "That makes sense."

Max furrowed her brow. "What do you mean?"

"Well, when I was getting our food, I saw a couple of black SUVs sitting at a gas station. They looked kind of like the ones that were outside of Logan's place."

"Jondy! Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because all black SUVs look the same. They're black and big. No biggy. But if they were the same ones, it'd make sense that they'd be heading to Calgary, because that is the next biggest city."

"Next biggest city? Where are we?"

"Lethbridge."

Max looked at Zack and then at Jondy. She then looked around the room and smiled. "Well boys and girls, we're heading to Calgary, but I think that we should maybe head out the backdoor. Somehow I don't think that management will be too pleased with our treatment of the room."

Jondy laughed, and reached out to help Max to stand. "Yeah, I think you're right. Zack, you coming?"

"Yeah." Zack gripped the wall to help him to stand. He passed by the two girls, broke the window to their room, and climbed out.

As Jondy helped Max climb through, she leaned in to whisper in her ear. "I'm surprised with what I saw when I walked in to the room."

"Why, because it was trashed?"

Jondy laughed. "No, because I thought you would've killed Zack."

Max threw her head back laughing, until the pain in her chest became too much and she had to stop. She now knew where Logan was, and no matter how injured she was, she was going to get him back.
