Max's fist hit me with full force knocking me off my feet, I was never good
at fighting, better at writing and things like that. Ofcoarse it didn't
help that I was shot in the shoulder, when I found out who that sharp
shooter was I would put a nice shiny bullet through his head.
My eyelids became increasingly heavy when I heard a man yell "Stop!"
For just a moment I didn't recognize the voice then it hit me, Jake. Damn him! I felt Max pick me up and hold me in front of her, after hearing Jake tell the soldiers to turn the tazers up I felt my rage come to a full boil. The b@stard was going to actually let me die!!
"You bastard... You dirty lying bastard!" I screamed at him before all of my enegy disappeared.
I heard the gun fire and saw Jake go down then felt Max drop me. I knew she was getting away, but I didn't stop her. At this point it just didn't seem to matter. I heard Jake howling and cursing and smiled the @$$ hole deserved it.
I slowly raised my eyes to see Chase standing over me. There was no warmth in the look, but instead of walking away like he should have done he lifted me into his arms. We didn't say anything as he walked to his car and opened the door to set me on the seat.
Finally I broke the silence saying. "Where are we going?"
"To a hospital." He answered, then turned to face me and said. "Let's get one thing straight, I am not doing this because I want to or even feel the need to, but because you now owe me a favor."
"Sorry to tell you this Chase, but I don't know or have anyone that could ever help you out if you get into trouble. Which I may add you are in. You don't just shoot Jake Mathison and get away with it, he'll hunt you down and kill you." I said coolly.
"Well what the he11 was I supposedto do just leave you there so that bastard could have his men finish you off?!" He bellowed.
I hid my smile of delight, he still cared about me! As I began to relax in the seat the pain in my shoulder that had seemed to have disapeared earlier was now back with a vegance.
"Who were those two and did you plan that?" He finally asked.
"How'd I know you'd ask that? The one that grabed me was Max, my misson was to capture her and bring her back to Manticore. I really don't know anything about her, they don't trust me there because I have a problem with accepting orders that do not sound right to me. I don't know who Max's friend was, but they must have some connection to each other. I've only seen one other person who fights like that and that's Brin. When I left she was still in reprograming. No I didn't plan that, I knew Max would be in LA, but not at that bar. Personally, I thought that as long as she stayed out of my way, I'd say I hadn't seen her. Jake planned it. He's the one that told you about me isn't he?"
Chase sat there quietly taking in all of the things I had just told him before he answered. "Yes he told me about you, now what do you mean you couldn't be trusted?"
I shrugged, "Jake feels that I can't be trusted, I just have a concience and do what I think is right."
"Like lying to me?"
"I don't want to get into this right now,"
Suddenly a wave of pain hit me, everything became a blur. I heard Chase calling my name franticly, but it sounded so far away. Then I felt all of my muscles go limp then everything went balck and the world ceased to exist, for the time being.
My eyelids became increasingly heavy when I heard a man yell "Stop!"
