I stood there in a blind rage, how dare she even try to attack me!! It wasn't my fault that Jake had had me followed because "I couldn't be trusted". That was bull and he knew it. I knew this was all my fault though, all of it. If I hadn't even come out here none of this would have happened. None of it.

I looked down at Max almost feeling sorry for her, what would they do to her back at Manticore, would they really do all of those things that Chase had said? And who was the other girl with her? I only knew about Brin and Max. I had so many questions, but knew i would never get any answers.

I sighed and told the soldier, "Take both of them, I don't know who she is, but Jake will."

He nodded and said."Yes ma'am."

I felt a familar pair of eyes on me and turned to see Chase standing in the shadows pointing a gun at me. His eyes were so hard and cold, why didn't he understand that I was just doing my job? He didn't smile as he raised it so it was pointing at my head.

"Put the gun down and just walk away." I said slowly taking a step toward him.

He just stood there, I didn't realize what he was doing until it was to late. Max had gotten free of the soldiers and was coming straight at me while her friend fended off the soldiers. Sh!t this was the seconded time I had been to be caught off gaurd. Would this nightmare never end? Suddenly a bullet sliced through the air cutting into my shoulder. I looked up at the building just in time to see a sharp shooter running off, everyone seemed out to get me today.

As I felt Max's fist lock with my jaw I knew that I was going to regret ever wanting to work at Manticore.
