Author's Note: Thanx for all those reviews people gave (Besides those weird
Reviews. :S)! Sorry I haven't been able to post this chapter soon enough, I
haven't had time to finish it, with homework and all plus I burnt my whole
left hand, so it takes a very long time to type with just one hand. But
now, here it is! I'd also like to dedicate this chapter to my friends
Ninjix and Mags (that's their pen names on fanfiction.net) who helped me
finish this chapter and give me the idea of the whole 'Ames White' section.
Please R&R (
Chapter 4
"I don't know what to do! I'm stuck Logan! I need help here! Tell me something reassuring!" cried Max for the first time, seeking help from Logan, knowing he would be willing to help.
"Like what?" asked Logan, holding Max in his arms and comforting her as best he could.
"I don't know! Tell me that everything will be OK!"
"OK.Everything will be OK!"
"Liar!" said Max softly, waiting to hear what Logan would say or do but all Logan did was smile and kiss Max gently on the forehead. As soon as Logan did this, Max pulled away. She had let her defences drop and she hadn't noticed. Something was definitely wrong about her. She raced out of Logan's apartment, quickly grabbing her jacket off the coat hanger, and raced off on her Ninja, cursing herself as she rode down streets and alleyways of Seattle.
She stopped in front of Joshua's place just to ask him a few questions like, why did he do it? Or what made him do something this cruel, wasn't the love that she gave him enough?
As Max stepped into Joshua's place, Max got a fright. The whole place was in a mess, chairs tumbled over and right in the middle was Joshua, huddled in a tight ball, mumbling strange words. Max quickly hurried over to where Joshua was and tried desperately to comfort him, not knowing what made him feel this way.
"Joshua didn't mean to do anything to little fella!" exclaimed Joshua.
"Oh yes he did!" retorted a voice from behind.
Max whirled around. When she saw who it was she gave a yell of fury and launched herself at him. Ames White dodged and grabbed her arms, yanking them behind her back.
"My, my. You are getting slow 452" he sneered as she struggled furiously.
Max twisted and got one arm out. White cursed and whipped out a gun attempting to shoot, but she managed to give a high kick and the gun was flung to the opposite wall. White was still holding her very tightly around her wrists when a gun suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Always carry a spare!" exclaimed White and he thumped her on the head with the butt of the gun. Max slipped to the floor, dazed.
Joshua stood up slowly, "leave her alone!" he said dully.
White spat at Joshua and started dragging Max to the door.
Joshua sprang up and yelled again, "Leave her alone! Take me instead!"
Max's head snapped up. "No! Josh! No!" she yelled, her eyes diluted with horror. "I'll be fine. He'll kill you if he takes you"
"No Max. No. He'll kill you too!"
Max shook her head slowly and smiled at Josh. He blinked and she was gone.
Max was wrapped up and taken to a white van. She only caught a little glimpse of it before her eyes were bound tight with a piece of white cloth. She was roughly handled and dumped in the back of the van and driven to an empty warehouse. She was tied very tightly to a metal chair and her blindfold was taken off. She sat there staring around her, trying to figure out where she was, besides the fact that she was inside an empty warehouse. That was when she saw Ames White walking slowly towards her.
"So.you've found out! Huh? About time too. I was wondering what you were up to! Smooching up to your boyfriend.what's his name? Logan Cale, that's it!" said White menacingly.
"He's not my boyfriend!" said Max, half-heartedly, not sure whether it was true or not. She did like him, but she didn't know how much.
"There's a lot of conviction in your voice, that's for sure!" replied White sarcastically.
"What do you want from me?" asked Max eager to change the subject. Just thinking about Logan was just breaking her heart. She couldn't stand not being with him, but she also couldn't stand being so close to him. She didn't know why this was so as nothing was standing in between their relationship like the virus had. But the virus was long gone. She needed to have some time to think her relationship through.
"What I want.from you, is highly confidential information that I believe you have," said White slowly. He wanted to make sure Max had heard him properly and was not muddling up his words.
"Even if I did have information, I wouldn't give it to you! Not in a million years!" said Max, spitting as she did so.
"Well, aren't you a very stubborn girl!" said White with a snarl, grinning maliciously, "You know, there is a price to pay for stubbornness, and I believe at the end, you might not be able to talk again, nor see!"
"I don't care what you do to me!" said Max making her mind up that she will not give any information to White what so ever, though in truth, she had absolutely no idea what White was talking about.
Just then, Max had an idea, she was going to make a deal. She'd exchange White's so called 'highly confidential information' for her freedom.
"How about a deal?" asked Max.
"Like what?" asked White curious, wondering whether this was a trick or not.
"I'll tell you the highly confidential information that I supposedly have and you give me back my freedom!" replied Max hastily.
"O.K.You tell me the information I need and then I'll set you free." Said White.
"I prefer to tell you the information when I'm free, not chained up like this," said Max reasonably, indicating the fact that she was chained up in the chair.
White had no other option other than unchaining her. But he made sure she wasn't able to escape because he planned that after she told him the information he needed, he was going to chain her up again.
"Thank you, now, the information I promised you. I'm so sorry White, but I've got bad news for you! But, I don't have the information you need!" said Max with a smirk on her face.
At that same moment a long thick rope fell from the railing just below the ceiling and Max grabbed on and quickly climbed up. Some of White's men started climbing the rope after her, but as soon as Max reached the top, the rope fell down along with White's men. She and Alec quickly ran to a window and the end of the railing and clung on to a make-shift flying fox, connecting to the building opposite, another empty warehouse, but most obviously safer, and flew to the other side. When they at last landed in the opposite building, Max saw Logan standing inside, just in front of his Aztec. He was grinning widely and Max ran up to him and gave him a big hug.
"Thanx a lot you guys!" said Max sincerely, "I really was in trouble, didn't know how to get out, but when I saw Alec waving at me from above, well, it raised my hopes high up."
"Oh, you know, it's my duty and all, saving damsels in distress and all!" remarked Alec, being cheeky as usual.
Logan just stood there, leaning against the Aztec staring straight at Max. Never saying a word. His thoughts were about Max and he couldn't help smiling. Max turned and caught Logan smiling and staring at her. She blushed and remembered the time when she woke up finding out the Logan had been staring at her the whole time. She brushed the thought away and quickly headed to the Aztec.
"We'd better go now, they'd be over here before we'd even left," said max.
They quickly jumped into the Aztec and raced off.

"How's my Boo?" asked OC as she entered the apartment and getting her own cup of coffee for herself.
Max was sitting on the couch, staring out to space with a steaming warm mug in her hands. Max didn't answer OC, she obviously didn't hear her and was thinking of something else. OC went and sat next to Max, waving her hand up and down in front of Max, wondering what she was thinking about.
"Hello? Anyone in there?" asked OC
Max quickly snapped out of her day dream and blushed to a deep red. She had been thinking about Logan. Was there anything happening between them? She hoped so.
"Huh?" asked Max
"You seemed to be day dreaming about something," said OC nudging Max's shoulder gently, "thinking of someone in particular?"
"Oh! OC! I just can't get him out of my head! There's something going on between us but I just don't know what!" said Max frustrated
"It seems you and him need to have a little talk!" said OC helpfully.
"I want to talk to him, but I just can't build up the courage to do so. OC, I've never felt this way before. I used to be able to go to his penthouse and there was nothing to it, but now, I can't." said Max breaking off her sentence.
"Just go to his penthouse and pretend its for business reasons." Said OC
"I don't know."
"Oh come on! You're my Boo! Who says my Boo can't do something as simple as that!"
"O.K"

Logan was sitting in his seat doing some Eyes Only business when Max appeared leaning on the doorframe. She was grinning broadly when Logan turned around.
"Oh no! She's in heat again!" thought Logan as he stared at her, "But she does look kind of hot!"
"Hey!" said Max. She walked over to him and leaned over him, looking at the screen.
Logan looked up and saw Max on top of him. He resisted trying to touch her and the longing to push her hair away from her face. He was wondering why Max had come over. Maybe she had heard what had happened.
"So you heard," said Logan.
"Heard what?" asked Max
"You don't know?"
"No.what about?"
"About Joshua."
"JOSHUA!!! What happened to him?" asked Max in surprise standing up quickly and staring right at Logan's eyes wondering.
"He's disappeared."
"WHAT!!!"
