"Hey Max!" Alec called through the small crowd of Transgenics in Terminal City.

"Yeah?" Max asked turning around to find him right behind her staring down at her. "Got were you able to find any other of your siblings?"

"Yeah, well I found out what happened to two of them. Vada and Kavi were killed by Lydecker and his people. Also Cade is on his way. I've got a question though, how could you have gotten info on 3 others? I mean if you take Me, Zack, Vada, Kavi, Seth, Jondy, Jack, Syl, Krit, Ben, Tinga, Cade, and Brin then thats 13 escapees," Max said confused.

"Yeah, what could be wronge with that? Theres all of them, we where train that there were 13 traitors while growing up," Alec replied not sure of where this was goin but he knew where it wasn't going... in the bedroom.

"When I first met Logan he told me there was only 12. You know what I'll talk to him later and I'm really thankful for this! Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" Max smilied wrapping her arms around his neck. Now it's gettin good! Alec thought to himself.

"Yeah, but it never hurts to say it again," Alec grinned wrapping his arms around her waist. "Well then." Max smiled.

"I,"

Kiss

"Love."

Kiss

"You,"

"Mmm and I love you too," Alec said picking up two containers of gasoline.

They headed into the main building each carrying two containers of gasoline. "G as up the generator. Got anything?" Max called over to Mole who was watching the Television set.

"It's all quiet on the transgenic front," Mole replied taking what ever was left of his cigar and through it in the trash, seconds later the garbage lit on fire. "Having your self a small camp fire Mole?" Alec asked grabbing some marshmallows that were on the table, and then headed over to heat them up.

"Hey Big Fella I've got something for ya," Max said taking out Joshua's necklace from her jacket. "Logan was able to grab it before White trashed is place,"

"I'll have to thank him," Joshua smiled about having his necklace back.

"Listen about the simbo-"

"Father told me that the two snakes intertwined together," Joshua interrupted tracing his fingers over the carved symbol. "Sort of a caduceus. You know--the wand carried by Hermes, messenger of the gods. The Greeks adapted it from a more ancient Babylonian symbol representing fertility. I read a lot," Dix said looking awkward at the people who were staring at him.

"All I know is it's the same symbol White's breeding cult uses. I hate to say this, but maybe Sandeman was involved with them somehow," Max said checking her hand but the symbol had already disappeared.

"No Max!" Joshua argued. "Sandeman was good, I remember!"

"Yeah but that's not what I meant Josh. What I mean is maybe after going through everything the cult does maybe he would want to try and stop them," Max explained running her other hand where the strange symbol once was.

"Good or bad, if Sandeman did create Manticore, he was one strange dude. I mean, look at us. What was he thinking?" Mole said referring to all the Anomalies in the building since Max and Alec were the only X series on that part of Terminal City.

"And why did he bother? Humans hate us," Dix added showing something to Alec on the screen.

"People afraid of things that they don't understand," Joshua said cleaning a rifle.

"Oh look at this!" Alec called staring one of the TV's he turned up the volume to they could all hear.

"All cars, we have a transgenic on the loose, heading eastbound towards..."

"Where the location?" Max called impatiently. "Sector five. Last seen headed east on Fourth. White's men are on their way," Dix said staring at a near by computer.

"So are we," Alec said going after Max who was already at the door waiting for him. "Call Biggs we might need some help," Max said tossing over her cell to Alec.

~@~@~

Max and Alec made it to the checkpoint with Biggs already waiting. "Biggs Do you have your sector pass?" Max asked taking hers from her jacket.

He flashed his Jam Pony sector pass at her. "All right lets go!" Max called heading to the front of the line Biggs and Alec close behind. "Jam Pony messenger,"

"We have got a few urgent pickups at Harbor Lights," Alec said taking out his pass to show the sector cop. After tossing is back at him the sector cop let them through the barracked area.

"Freeze don't Move!" They hear sector cops yelling as the turn the corner and see the White Transgenic. Alec now leading the way grabbed a pipe without getting off his green Ninja. While riding past Alec kept his the metal pole sticking out causing it to knock out 2 sector cops.

Max stopped her Ninja. "Hurry gets on!" She yelled to the Transgenic.

While the Transgenic was getting on the bike a few Cops were taking aim. Biggs knocked some out while driving to the other side at the same time Alec took out a gun and took out the tires of the police car. White appears in his car in front and takes aim but the sounds of gunshots caused him to take cover when it turned out Biggs was taking out his tires.

Biggs took off down the road but Alec stayed in place to wait for Max. She took a jump and kicked White in the face while passing. When Max and Alec started going White took some shots all missing them.

Finally Max and Alec were out of sight and White got mad throwing his gun at Otto. Luckily he ducked and the gun broke the window of a near by car.

By the time they got to Terminal City they let the four of them in without a hesitation. "Welcome to Terminal City!" Max said as they came to a stop. A bunch of Anomalies came to greet the new ember of Terminal City.

"We did good," Alec said coming up behind her causing he to jump in shock. "I guess we did," Max said smiling.
