Xin Ru Si Hui (A Heart Reduced To Ashes)
Chapter Five
What if Max had been in love with Zack as well as Logan at the time of Blah Blah Woof Woof? Who would she have chosen? What would have happened?
Max stood in the jail cell that contained many other women. These women all looked, in some small way, like her. She was bored and tired. 'I hope that Logan's ok. There could be nothing worse than losing Logan.'
Lydecker walked into the Police Office, and looked around for the man he had been talking to on the phone.
"What do you got?" he asked when he had found him.
"We got your killer." Replied the captain.
"Where is she?"
"He's in a holding cell."
"Must be a mistake."
"It's no mistake. He gave us details from the crime scene and he produced the murder weapon."
"Where is he?"
"This way. Call off the 10-07 on the girl."
Max had been waiting in the cell for what seemed like hours when an officer came and opened up the door, ushering all of the women out.
"Okay, let's go. Everybody out." He ordered.
"What's going on?" asked Max.
"Perp confessed. You're free to go. Let's go."
Max stood outside the police office, looking. She didn't know what she was looking for, but she knew that it was important. Then she saw it. Him. Zack. He was handcuffed, and walked in-between two police men. 'My Zack. He must be the reason that all of us girls have been let go. He had sacrificed himself for me. He had always said that he would rather die than go back to Manticore. But he gave himself up to Manticore so that his baby sister could go free. He did it so that I could have a life. And what did I do to him. I walked out on the man I love, for the man that I like. What better repayment than that.'
Detective Sung walked up beside her, and saw that she was watching Zack. He grabbed her arm in an attempt to shake her out of the daze that she appeared to be in.
"Just go."
That was all he said, and with those words in her heart, Max walked away from the police station, and back to her home.
By the time she had reached her place, tears had been streaming down her cheeks for a long time. 'I can't believe that I've lost him. He shouldn't have done it. I shouldn't have let him.' But deep down inside, Max knew that if she had tried to stop Zack, he wouldn't have let her.
She slowly let herself into her home, and closed the door behind her. When she turned around, she saw Original Cindy on the couch, crying into a pillow.
Original Cindy looked up, and saw the tears on Max's face.
"You heard then?"
"Heard what Cindy?"
"Bout Logan. That's why you're crying right?"
"No. What happened? Cindy please tell me! What happened?"
"I don't know if I should be the one telling you."
"You have to, please. Did something happen to him after I gave him blood?"
"You gave him blood?"
"Please, just tell me."
"Max, I'm sorry, but... Logan had a post-surgery problem. I don't know what the problem was but..."
"What?"
"He... He died."
"He... No this can't be happening. Please tell me that this is all a joke. Please, Original Cindy, please?"
"I'm sorry Max. It's true."
"I have to go. I have to do something. I don't know what, but I'm going to do something. I'll be careful."
"Alright boo."
Max got her Ninja, and walked out of the door.
~~
Ok. Please don't kill me for killing Logan. But I needed to do it for the next bits to make sense. Anyway, there will be more soon, but I'm also working on another story at the minute. I spose that I should finish this first though huh?
Please review?
Please????????????
