Costa Rica's Callin' Ya! Chapter 5

****************************************************************

(Recap)

He couldn't breathe anymore, the darkness claimed his as he vaguely heard Max call him in the distant. All he could do was let in to the temptation of slumber.

Max was coming back to the rendezvous place when she saw a huge man grab Logan from the back.

"Logan!" she screamed running towards him.

*********************************************************************

Max ran as fast as her transgenic legs could carry her, which wasn't as fast as it could be because of the accident, but still, to the average human, it was really fast. She rounded the corner where she had seen the man taking Logan but somehow . . . he was gone! Max just couldn't believe how a huge man like that could simple vanish into thin air, well, thick forest to be precise but still! She was stronger and faster and smarter and prettier than everybody, how could this be happening to her?

"I hate forests!" she exclaimed loudly after giving up on finding Logan.

"Yeah me too" said an old voice.

"Who's there?" Max asked, on alert once again.

"Name's Dale, I live here." He said and finally came into Max's view.

"How is it that people just pop out of places here?" she asked surprised once again.

"It's creepy at first but ya get used to it an' learn all the secrets of this ol' place. It becomes your friend ya could say." Dale said forwarding a hand to the beautiful brunette in front of him, who was now looking at him in awe.

"What's your name dear?" he asked gently, "Can you remember?"

"Of course I can! Who wouldn't? The name's Max" she said shaking hands with the elderly man.

"Ya have crew with ya wen' ya landed here?" Dale asked

"Yeah" she said putting a hand on her hip. "Have you found any of them?" she asked praying it was Alec or Chris.

"Young man, mid 20's, dark hair, tanned skin, injured leg." The man continued, "Ring any bells?"

"You found our pilot?" Max asked astounded. "Is he badly hurt?" she asked concerned, pushing past the disappointment that it wasn't any of the transgenics.

"He injured his leg from the fall, fallin' from a tree ain't an everyday thing now is it?" he asked smiling warmly at her. "Sonny will be okay, in a day or two that is."

"Sonny?" Max asked.

"Pilot you say."

"Yeah, his name was Curtis the last time I asked." Max stated. Dale had initially planned on taking this girl with him, but that could prove difficult now, an idea unveiled in his head.

"Sonny's been with me since the last full moon, that was a LONG time ago, how long have you been here . . . Max?"

"Since very early this morning, or yesterday by now." She said.

"Not the same one hey. Tsk tsk, I'm sorry deary, ya presumed the wrong person." He said walking away with an evil grin filling his features. After a few seconds Max shouted out to him,

"Wait, can't we just make sure?" she asked, to see the man had disappeared.

"How the hell do they do that?" she asked kicking the ground to rid her of frustration. She was now all by herself in a very dark and dangerous looking forest, not knowing if any of the others were even alive. She sat down on the ground and started gathering leaves and twigs for a fire.

*********************************************************************

Chris and Devan had been walking for what seemed forever, they hadn't stopped for food, water or anything else for that matter. They just needed to know that the rest of the gang had made it safely; then they could all figure out where they were and what to do next. Chris was hurting really bad, Devan could see the pain in his muscularly sharp features and had offered to stop several times, each time Chris would come up with a new joke and they would laugh and walk again. Devan knew it was useless looking for the rest in pitch black surrounding, how many times had he been diverted from a tree by Chris?

He needed them to set up for the night, knowing that Chris' own injuries woun't stop him from going, Devan plopped himself down by a tree with a big 'huff.'

"Dude, you okay?" Chris asked kneeling down.

"Oh I'm fine, just hungry, dehydrated, I have a throbbing head and my feet are killing me; but don't worry, I'll be up and about in 2 minutes flat."

"Way weird dude, I didn't even ask you if we needed to stop, sorry man." The sandy blonde said sitting down next to Devan. "Waddaya say we boot up for the night right here, I'll grab us some food and we'll start looking for them once again early moring?"

"You sure?" Devan asked, desperately wanting the answer to be yes, regardless of his selfishness. Chris nodded and after a few words, left to find food.

Devan knocked off his shoes and tried desperately to get as comfortable as possible. He grabbed a few big leaves off the nearby bushes and put them together at the back of his head.

"Ah" he whispered, comfort at last!

*********************************************************************

Chris had been looking for food for both himself and Devan for the longest time possible, even with his heightened senses; life out here was very tough. He had rounded the same circle of trees at least twice, stepped into a snake hole and managed to get a tear in his pants for not watching where he was going.

He finally saw what looked like wild berry trees, as he neared the place, he saw a small fire burning. Wanting to get warm out rode the other responsibilities in his head, he slowly made his way towards the fire, that was when he felt himself being hit at the back of the head, causing him to fall backwards.

*********************************************************************

Logan knew he was safe, he could feel it in the atmosphere; he inhaled deeply and ended up coughing due to the foul smell. Maybe someone just farted and the smell would go away. Logan knew that flowers were growing all around him; there were roses, daisies, carnations, lilies and all other flowers. The smell had lifted and all there was left was clearing mist in a green world. The sun was shining and Logan was running, he was chasing . . . Max.

They ran, Max kept glancing at him as they ran through the forest. While trying to look at him, she fell onto the ground and he tumbled on top of her. They looked at each other for the longest time possible, here Max was on the floor, Logan on top of her, holding her hand, he slowly raised her hand to his mouth and . . .

"GET YOUR BLOODY HANDS OFF OF ME, MAGGOT!" a voice screamed from below him. He looked down to see a weird Max and a stranger combination in her face. Logan was scared now, so he screamed as loud as he could, regardless of the fact that it sounded extremely girly.

"GET OFF OF ME NOW LOGAN!" the voice said loudly once more. Logan opened his sleepy eyes to find equally sleepy eyes staring back at him, but these eyes weren't as big and warm as Max's, no they were very . . . green. Logan realized that he was lying on top of . . . Alec!

"IF YOU AREN'T OFF OF ME IN 20 SECONDS FLAT LOGAN, I PROMISE I WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH MYSELF!" Alec screamed at the figure almost entirely on top of him, not aware of the large crowd of amused people watching on.

"I'm sorry Alec, I . . . ahh . . . I'll get off now." Logan said and slowly rolled off Alec, feeling himself go extremely red, almost purple.

*********************************************************************

A/N: Howda ya like it??? Tell me okay; just review and I'll kiss all your hands. Ha ha, kidding!!

There! I hope you got enough Logan bashing and embarrassment. It took a lot to think up something like this (useless plot to get reviews)!

Incase anyone's confused, Logan's kidnappers are part of the Sinai tribe and have kept him next to Alec. The M/A action is gonna start really soon, be patient! (ha ha ha)

Thanks *****Sabrina*****

P.S. I'm gonna have another tribe here so I need a name, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks you all!!!
