A month later at the penthouse.
Max was lying on the bed. She was inhaling the sent of Logan that was still there among the sheets. It had been one month since life came to a halt and crumbled around her. About 2 weeks after the raid her and her siblings were ready for another break in when Lydecker came back. He still was not her favorite person but she knew he couldn't hurt them now. But what he had to say hurt her more than being taken back to Manticore.
Flashback
"Max?" Lydecker asked as he entered the warehouse to find her and her siblings armed and looking at a map of Manticore. They all looked up. He didn't want to tell this to them, to her but he had to. She looked at him waiting for him to say what he came for.
"Max you can't go back."
"Oh really why not?" She asked with a bitter hardness in her voice.
"Because it's a suicide mission for nothing." She couldn't believe he was saying this. He knew how much Logan meant to her and Logan sure as hell wasn't nothing.
"What the hell makes you say that?" She asked accusingly. Her siblings shifted around her.
Lydecker came up to the table they were surrounded and put his lab top on it and opened it. There was a picture of Logan on the ground. There was a puddle of blood around him and he was unconscious. Max choked on her breath when she saw it. Lydecker clicked again and there was a window that popped up. It read.
Enemy: Logan Cale
Involvement: Somehow acquainted and allied with X5 escapees.
Current status: Dead
Threat: None
Max stared at the screen. She couldn't see anything but the typed word. Dead. He was dead. She didn't let herself believe that an option till now. He had to be alive but here it was staring her in the face. He was dead and it was her fault. She couldn't breath and she couldn't see. Zack put an arm under her and she staggered. Oh god. He was dead. The one man who she had ever loved and who loved her back for her. Oh god the room was spinning. She couldn't think a single coherent thought.
They dropped her off at her apartment with Cindy. She lay on her bed for days. The first two she cried incessantly and then for 7 more days she just laid there letting the pain engulf her. Eat at her alive. If you could call her alive. She was numbed with pain. She couldn't feel heat anymore. Finally Cindy managed to get her to go to work because she could not get anymore slack from Normal and if she didn't Max would be fired. Max went to work and she threw herself in it. She made at least 20 runs a day. Sketchy griped saying Max was making them all look bad because Normal was pushing them all to be more like her. But she didn't give him complete satisfaction. She still mouthed him off. Not in the casual sarcastic way she used to but with bitterness. She was never left alone. No one knew what she'd do if they left her alone. They tried to drown out her pain at crash and go on with life. She acted more normal soon enough but they all could see she was lying. She still was tortured inside. At night she falls into restless dreams of Logan but sometimes they were so real she could have sworn that he was really there dreaming the same dream with her.
Her siblings came to her more often. Zack was with her the most. They would race their motorcycles into the night and she would try to forget for a little way.
Present
She tried to draw everything she could from his apartment as she laid there. The apartment wasn't sold or at least yet so she came often. She would curl up in the sheets and pretend he was there with her. How could he have left her? But Max knew he loved her and she would always love him no matter what. Tonight she fell asleep on his bed as she often did and for once she went into a dreamless sleep.
A/N ok there is action on the next chapter here so get ready!! ( Please review!! I need it. I need to know if I am doing something right because this being my first fic and all. I want to continue to right but you guys say the word and I will stop.
