(Recap)
Max didn't know what to make of all these flashing images, she suddenly felt her head spinning out of control and had to grab a hold of the nearest brick wall to keep herself upright. Max soon fell onto her knees coughing uncontrollably.
After all the coughing had subsided she got up slowly, taking note that this area of Terminal City was not familiar to her and tried to walk. That was when she felt the cool metal tip of a gun pointed to her neck, a handkerchief coved her mouth and she distinctly heard the words, "Payback time," before everything went black.

(At Ames White's secret facility, somewhere in Seattle)
"Well, well, well," said a very enthusiastic White. He had been waiting for her for the last 3 hours. "What do we have here?"
"You should transport her elsewhere, as far away from Seattle as you can," said the man carrying the unconscious body of Max, "Transgenics never leave soldiers behind, they're going to come back for her, you know."
"You would know," muttered White, "All in good time. But you, Jake my man, have proved your worth, that little 'pop' bubble will be removed from your nervous pathways . . ."White said to a very agreeing Jake, "Once you have found and returned my son Ray to me."
"In less than 29 hours?" Jake spat out. "You don't even know if he's alive, you're insane White. You're INSANE!" he shouted.
"Oh come on now, you're a transgenic, you can do it! If you can't . . ." White replied smiling, "Now that's a different story, then that thing in your neck will go POP, and big, strong Jake will be no more." He said smiling even wider.
"You CAN do it, now can't you?" White asked all innocently.
"Who last saw the kid?" Jake asked, not that he really cared, but his life was in danger here.
"You're looking at the bitch." He replied sparing a look at Max.
"That's her?" Jake asked, "She last saw your son?" he asked confused.
"What are you trying to say, huh?" White asked angrily, nearing Jake with heavy breaths.
"I just asked, how the hell am I supposed to know who took your kid?" Jake defended himself from the man that now had the power to rid him of his life.
After a long hard stare in Jake's direction, White continued as if the argument had never risen, "Now I am going to leave you two alone, get as much as you can out of her, otherwise I'll put my boys to it." He said, and left the room shortly afterwards slamming the door after him.

"ALEC!" Logan screamed running into the hospital wing.
"Logan, we have sick patients here, and they need their rest, why in the world are you girlie-screaming on the top of your lungs in a hospital?" Alec asked as he removed the IV tubes from both himself and Cindy, who was still asleep from exhaustion of all the blood drain.
"It's Max." Logan said panting. That managed to get Alec's attention immediately.
"What's wrong with Max?" Alec asked scared beyond belief. "Logan, what's wrong with Max?" Alec asked with a shaky voice.
"I saw someone carry her out of Terminal City!" The man replied and fell in a heap on the floor.
"Why didn't you do something?" Alec screamed running past him to the door.
"What was I supposed to do, if he could carry Max out of here, he would probably KILL me!" Logan said offended.
"Why didn't you scream? Weren't there any other transgenics around?" Alec asked non-stop as he picked up the nearest phone and dialed a very long number.
"I didn't see anyone there, and . . . I got scared, so I came to you." The older man answered defeated.
"Look, Logan," Alec started after slamming the phone down in frustration, "It's just that I'm really worried about her. I'm sorry, I was completely unreasonable with you."
"You love her don't you?" Logan asked almost disappointedly.
"This isn't the time to discuss who I love and who I don't, we have to find her and bring her back safely. That's all that matters right now." Alec said heading towards the head quarters of Terminal City, with Logan right behind him.
"But you didn't answer my question!" Whined Logan, not seeing Alec's glare.
