As I rounded the cornor trying to hurry a pair of hands caught me form behind and shoved against the wall. It was cold and slimy, with brown water sliding down the wall and onto my jaket. I struggled and turned to face my captors only to find that it was Zane and Jondi. I was dumbstruck, what were they doing out?

Finaly able to form my thoughts into words I said, "How did you get out?"

A cold smile spread itself across Zane's lips, one that sent chills up my spine, "We had a distraction."

Max's screams subsided and she came towards us, Zane moved away so that she was facing me. Now I've never considered myself short and I know that Max wasn't that tall but she still seemed to tower over me.

SHe looked down at me with her dark eyes gleaming, "Hi-ya Yancy, fancy seeing you here."

I glared at her and said, "What's this all about?"

No answer came, instead Max's fist connected to my face. The blow didn't actually hurt all that much or maybe it had just been that I was felling numb like I had for days now. I knew I could withstand one punch, but I also knew that if someone didn't get down here fast I wouldn't last for long. Not with all the hate she felt for me right now. Blow after blow came, I fell to the damp floor and tried to curl in a ball to protect myself. My nose was bleeding and so was my lip, I absently wondered if she had broken my nose, oh well.

Jondi spoke up saying, "Forget about her Max and lets just get out of here."

I suddenly remembered my gun, as I reached iside my jacket I taunted Max saying, "Yeah Max why don't you just leave little ol'me and run like a coward."

For saying that I recieved a good kick in the ribs, the three than turned to leave. I slowly stood swaying and pointed my gun and yelled, "Freeze or I'll shoot!"

Max slowly turned, she was smiling coldly, "Don't you want to know who caused the diversion? He's standing right behind you."

I turned just in time to see Chase bring the but of his gun down on my head. As I drifted down into the black abyss my last thought was, I'm begining to really hate this job...
