A/N: This is a longer chapter. Hope you like it.
Max starts to tell her story not realizing that she still has her earpiece and Logan can hear everything that she says.
Max: I love him, but when I was back at Manticore they knew that I knew the identity of Eyes Only. Of course I wouldn't tell them any thing. Even when they put me through painful interrogations, I would not crack.
Sketchy: So, what happened?
Max: They somehow got a hold of his DNA and infected me with a retrovirus genetically targeted to him. I had no idea what they had done, and then Alec told me that they were sending a X-5 after a 'reporter' friend of mine. So I escaped, not knowing that I was the X-5 that he was talking about, with the help of Alec and Joshua, but it was a set up and Alec followed me.
Sketchy: Oh my God! What happened next?
Max: I got to Logan's, and I tried to get him to leave with me because his life was in danger there. We kissed and a minute later he collapsed on the ground. I was so scared, I had no idea what was going on until Alec came up and told me about the virus and the antigen that they would give him if I brought him back to Manticore and turned myself in.
Sketchy: SO!
Max: So, I kicked Alec's ass, transmitted the broadcast that exposed Manticore, and went back to get the antigen for Logan. I got there just as the charges started to go off. Renfro, the director at Manticore, told me that if they were exposed than they would lock all the doors and burn the place down with all of the transgenics locked inside to die. She called it 'plausible deniability.'
Sketchy: So, you saved all of their lives?
Max: Yes, then I found Renfro and demanded the antigen. Just after she gave it to me a guard came in and shot at me, but Renfro stepped in front of me and took the bullet. When I asked her why she just said that I was 'the one' they've been looking for and then she tell me to find 'Sandeman,' who Joshua calls 'Father.'
Sketchy: Who is Sandeman?
Max: He is the one that created Manticore in the first place. As it turns out, he was a member of the breeding cult, but didn't like what they were doing so he left and got into genetic engendering. Which he used to create us, and me specifically to take there breeding cult down. Well, any way we've had a couple little accidents involving the virus, causing Logan to nearly die every time. The last time he almost died Joshua gave him a transfusion. After he was safe I had to go save Alec's ass when he got arrested and identified in a line up for murder.
Sketchy: Alec killed someone?
Max: No, he didn't. His clone did, my brother, Ben. He went on a killing spree, and I ended up stopping him from killing his next victim. We fought and I accidentally broke his leg, Lydecker, the guy that had been chasing my siblings and me since we escaped in 2009, was closing in on us. (she continues with tears running down her face) If I tried to carry him we would have both been caught, and he asked me to kill him because he didn't want to go back. I complied with his wishes, and snapped his neck.
Max takes a minute to catch her breath before continuing.
Max: Anyway, Alec slept on my couch because the police were watching his place. So, in the morning I tell Alec about Ben and what happened to him. Logan came by just as I was walking Alec out and saw us and assumed that we . . . you know. Later that night I took some information to his place because I thought he wasn't home, but of course he was and he confronted me about Alec.
Sketchy: You told him it was true?
Max: Yes well no, I just didn't deny it and gave him the impression that it was true.
Sketchy: You lied to him!
Max: I did it to protect him. Whether it is from the virus, White, or anything else that has to do with me. I am the biggest threat to him, and I would gladly give my life in order to protect him from any sort of threat.
Logan continues to sit at the computer listening to what Max and Sketchy were talking about. Until he heard enough and went to confront her about it.
Logan: Max!
Max: What is it, Logan.
Logan: You never turned in your comm. unit after the fight.
Max: Oh!
She had totally forgot about the comm. unit and knew that Logan had heard the whole story.
A/N: What is going to happen? I'll post the next chapter soon. Thanks for all the reviews. Keep them coming.
