Take away
Joshua's
"You found him?" Max asked.
"Yes," Lydecker said.
"Thank you so much." Max said smiling.
"We can go see him tonight." Lydecker said.
"Yes!" Max screamed.
"I can pick you up outside of Logan's" Lydecker said.
"Around 8." Max said, "And thank you."
"Your welcome." Lydecker said.
Max ended the call on Logan's cell phone.. "Logan."
He got up and everyone stared at her. "Well spit it out, boo." Original Cindy said.
"He found a cure." Max said smiling.
"We'll be able to touch again." Logan said.
"Yeah," Max said.
Alec left out the room. As did Asha.
"What did he say?" Logan asked.
"He'll pick us up in front of your place." Max said.
"Ok," Logan said.
"Around 8." Max said.
"Damn it." Logan said.
"What?" Max asked.
"I was expecting a call from an informant, dealing with the harbringers." Logan said.
"Leave your cell phone here." Max said, "Zack, answer the call and let us know what's the what."
"Ok," Zack said catching the cell phone.
Joshua ran up to Logan and gave him a high-five. "Max and Logan getting Busy!"
"Yup, big fella." Logan said, "Max and Logan getting busy."
Max laughed. "Let's go."
She got her motorcycle out of the basement.
"Remember just touch my legs." Max said.
"I have on gloves." Logan said.
"Ok," Max said. "But still, safety first."
They took off.
Warehouse
"We need to take them down, now!" Cole said.
"We will sir." Agent Jones said.
"I want them dead tonight." Cole said.
"I'll put a team on it." Agent Jones said.
Logan's
"Max!" Lydecker yelled from his new truck.
Max and Logan walked over to him. "Nice,"
Logan got in the front seat and Max got in the back. The windows were tinted.
"I'm happy to see your back to your old self." Lydecker said smiling at her.
"I'm happy that I'm good too." Max said.
"So how far is this place?" Logan asked.
"An hour or two away." Lydecker said.
"Let's get going." Max said. "Oh and Lydecker."
"Call me dad." Lydecker said, "Remember our deal."
"Ok," Max said, "Lydecker, did you talk to him?"
"Yes," Lydecker said.
"What did he say?" Logan asked.
"He said, he wanted to see you both." Lydecker said.
"Oh," Max said. An hour of silence and classical music had finally gotten to Max and she decied to break the silence,
"So...do you have any information on these people called the Harbingers?"
"The Harbingers?" Lydecker asked. "Do you mean the Harbringers?"
"That's what they're called?" Max asked.
"Yeah," Lydecker said.
"Well, I guess I couldn't hear him right, through all of the busted lips and blood." Max said.
"What do you want with them?" Lydecker asked.
"They're in town. Hell bent on killing my ass." Max said.
"Max," Lydecker said, "They're dangerous."
"Stronger than White's people?" Max asked.
"They are the next step, of White's kind." Lydecker said.
"So they're connected." Max said.
"Yeah," Lydecker said.
"What about the Manticore stuff?" Logan asked, "We found out that these people have been around for thousands of years."
"They have." Lydecker said.
"White and his are part of a tribe." Lydecker said, "Or a cult. They have been around for a lot longer."
"So White is really old?" Max asked.
"No," Lydecker said, "I meant his people have been around for a long time. They're hundreds, maybe thousands of his kind out there."
"And the Harbringers are better than them?" Max asked.
"Yes," Lydecker said.
"So where does Manticore fit into all of this?" Logan asked.
"Sandeman, wanted to use the way of the Egyptians had used half man and half animal."
"Like in those old mythologies?" Max asked.
"Yes, and he used that as his dream to make soldiers and to use them for good." Lydecker said. "But someone corrupted his idea."
"Renfro?" Max asked.
"Yup," Lydecker said.
"So there's a history lesson for you." Logan said.
"So where do I fit into all of this?" Max asked.
Lydecker exhaled and said, "You're a transgenic, but your also one of White's kind."
"So, I'm half and half." Max asked.
"Yes," Lydecker said, "You're the only one. That's why your so important to them. They want to see how that was and make more you. Your kind."
"Oh," Max said.
White's headquaters
"We have to find 452." White said.
"We will," Another agent said.
"We need her." White said.
"Sir, we're on it."
Sandeman's
Two hours later Max, Logan and Lydecker made it to his place.
"452," Sandeman said.
"My names Max." Max said.
"Max," Sandeman said, "And you must be-,"
"Logan,"
"Nice to meet you." Sandeman said.
"Same here." Logan said.
They looked around his mansion.
"So, do you live alone?" Max asked.
"No," Sandeman said, "A few students alsolive here."
"Oh," Max said, "And by students you mean transgenics?"
"Yes," Sandeman said. "And what do I owe this pleasure of this trip?"
"They need a cure." Lydecker said.
"I understood that from our phone conversation." Sandeman said, "Would you all follow me to my lab."
His house was huge. Twenty bedrooms, a pool and a pond.
The lab was even huger. "Amazing." Logan said.
"The virus is genetically enhanced." Sandeman asked.
"Manticore's own." Max said.
"I'll need blood samples from you both." Sandeman said.
They gave him the blood and a hour or so later.
"I have some good news and some bad news." Sandeman said.
"Shoot." Max said.
"I can have a cure." Snsdeman said.
"Then what's the bad news?" Logan asked.
"It will take a few months." Sandeman said.
Max and Logan looked at each other. "It's already been a few months."
"It wouldn't kill us to wait." Max said, "At least we'll know we have a cure waiting."
Logan smiled, "Ok."
"Thanks," Max said.
"Your welcome." Sandeman said, "I'll keep in touch."
"I'm sorry he cant have a cure sooner." Lydecker said.
"You don't understand." Max said, "We had no hope at first and now we do. We're grateful, Dad."
"I'll drop you back off at Logan's." Lydecker said and smiled.
"Ok,"
The ride back was faster than it was getting up there.
"Thanks," Max said.
"Your welcome." Lydecker said.
"Remember, my legs." Max said.
"Remember, gloves." Logan said.
They hopped on her bike and were off to Joshua's.
Joshua's
Pizza boxes were all over the table.
"So, I guess ya'll threw a little party when we were gone." Max said as she and Logan entered.
"No," Zack said, "We were just eating, cause you know the whole taking down the Harbingers is going down tonight."
"What?" Max asked.
"Logan your informant gave us an address." Alec said, "So we got some weapons and explosives and we're going to blow their asses away."
"Cool," Max said, "Let's go." Max headed out the door then went back and got aslice of pizza. "An army marches on it's stomach."
"Max," Logan said.
"I know, be careful." Max finished for him.
Warehouse
Max, Alec, and Zack were on the roof.
"I see about ten of them." Zack said.
"And big bad is over there." Max said pointing to Cole.
"And the main computer is over there." Alec said.
"So we take out the main computer with this." Zack said taking out an explosive the size of a quarter.
"Me and Alec will keep them busy." Max said.
"Right." Alec said, taking a gun out of his back pocket. "Take this, Maxie."
"I don't do guns." Max said.
"Let's get this over with." Zack said.
They crashed through the window.
Max looked at the computer screen and saw her face. "Were you looking for me?"
Zack tossed the explosive on to the computer. "Back away."
Max kicked two Harbringers into the computer just as it exploded.
"You animals!" Cole said.
"I think you're going to need a doctor in the morning." Max said as she kicked him the face. He fell to the ground and kicked her. She fell also. He punched her in the face.
"You see I'm stronger than you." Cole said, "Bitch."
Max leaped into the air and kicked him in the side making him crash into the wall. He used his feet to propel himself off the wall and kicked her in the face sending her to the ground.
Zack had three on him and he did his best to fight them off. Alec was also handlig himself.
Alec shot two in the arm, but it didn't phase them. They took the gun and kicked him in the stomach. "We got rid of their information, can we go now?"
Zack shot two in the head. "I'm guessing going is the best idea." He was tossed across the room.
Max kicked at Cole and he grabbed her leg and knocked her into the wall and kicked her sending her sliding across the floor. Just as she got up, he kicked her.
"Let's go!" Max screamed.
Cole pulled out a taser and shocked her with it. She kicked him. The back wall went off as Logan's car came crashing through. He shot Cole and sadi, "Jump in!"
Max, Alec and Zack got in and he reversed and they were on their way.
"Thanks man," Alec said.
"No problem." Logan said.
"We got rid of the computer." Max said, "So there goes all their information on us."
"We can move back home now" Logan said.
"Yeah," Max said.
"But it's not over," Zack said, "Not by a long shot."
"I know." Max said, "It's only going to get worse."
"They'll be pissed at us for destroying their computer." Alec said.
"But we'll stop them" Logan said.
Joshua's
"This isn't good-bye." Max said, "We're just moving back into our homes."
"You not come back to see me, little fella." Joshua said.
"I will," Max said, "Everyday."
Logan was already outside.
"Let's go." Max said.
"Ya'll come on back now, ya hear." Joshua said.
Max smiled and got in the car. She waved at Joshua.
The car sped off.

Authors note: I hope you all liked this chapter. It's longer than the others. Just to show some insight on what the bad guys are all about. Next chapter will get back into the Max/Alec thingy and more angst. But don't fret the story is nowhere near over. And the cure is a little further down the road, so there will be more Max and Logan shippiness to come. Please review
