CHAPTER: Consequences.



They got up and started to make their way to the exit. " Hey what's your name?" he asked realizing that he didn't know it.

" I'm Larissa." She lied. " What's yours?" she asked just to be polite.

He extended his hand to hers and then lifted her hand and kissed it like a gentleman. " My friends call me Sketchy."

" Well get out of here huh."

" Yeah."

They walked out of the exit and straight into Logan, he must have expecting Max to be there cause this wasn't his usual hangout. " Hey man." Sketchy said.

" Hey." Logan replied.

Lana immediately recognized him; he was Max's friend. He knew was the one that knew a lot about her. She turned her face in the other direction in hope that he wouldn't recognize her.

" Hey," Logan said to the red head Sketchy was with. " Hey you look kind of familiar." Logan said.

" I hag out here a lot." She lied still looking elsewhere.

" Sketchy get away from her." Logan warned.

Sketchy looked confused, what was Logan talking about. He supposed to get away form hot chick that actually wanted him. " Hey man what are you talking about."

" Just get away from her, she dangerous."

Sketchy looked at the girl next to him. She defiantly was not dangerous. " Whatever man, Larissa lets go." Sketchy took her and walked away form Logan.

Logan stood there trying to come up with something to convince Sketchy to stay away from her with out sounding crazy. " Sketchy," he yelled but he just kept on walking. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed Alec's number. He waited for him to pick up impatiently. " Alec," he said when someone picked up.

-----

" It's Max," she said over a yarn. -----

Max, what are you doing there?" he asked confused. -----

" I'm helping Alec out." She said like she was sating the obvious.

----

" Anyway," he said. " Lana, is going to sleep with someone, you have to stop her."

-----

" Who?"

-----

" It's Sketchy, I tried to stop him but he won't listen."

-----

Max sighed how did she know that it had to be some desperate fool; it was just like sketchy to get himself in trouble. She got up form he bed, he may have been a desperate fool but that desperate fool was her friend. " I'm there," she said and hung up the phone. She started to leave then she noticed she didn't even know where she was going. Where the hell did Sketchy live anyway. She shook Alec lightly. " Alec," she whispered.

" Hmm,"

" It's sketchy he's in trouble."

" What did he do this time." He said getting up from his bed.

" It's Lana, she's going to sleep with him." Max explained.

" Oh," he said pulling out some clothes form his closet. He took off the pants he was wearing and put on the one he took out and changed his shirt to and put on his jacket. " Ok let's go."

Max almost laugh; even when his friend was in trouble he still had to look good. " So where does Sketchy live?" Max asked.

" I don't know the name of the place but I can show you where it is."

" You're okay right?" she didn't want him falling all over the place.

"Yeah."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sketchy fumbled with the keys to his apartment. Suddenly he forgot which key was for the front door. " Hold on just a sec."

This annoyed Lana but she faked a smile anyway. " You take your time."

Sketchy got a hold of a key and shoved in the doorknob, it was the correct one. She opened the door and indicated for Lana to walk in. he walked over to his kitchen area and began to pour some drinks.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Max got on her ninja and Alec got on his motorbike. She followed him to where Sketchy lived. He stopped in front of a run down unpainted building. " This is it," he said.

" Lets go in."

Max walked up to the door and knocked, no one answered, she knocked gain but he didn't' answer. She feared the worst she kicked it open. She scanned the room for Sketchy. He was in the kitchen looking alarmed by the piece of wood on the floor that was once his door. " Max, what are you doing here?"

" Sketchy get away from her." Max warned.

" God can a guy get a break?" Sketchy yelled.

Lana took a pot from near by and knocked Sketchy out and began to run, she didn't get very far. Max was on top of her before she got five feet away. " Get off me." She yelled.

" What and let you sleep with another one of friends."

" You don't understand." Lana said.

" Tell me what it is then, cause to me it seemed like you were going to sleep with him and leave him dead."

" It's him or me." She said.

" You can't just kill people for your own selfish reasons." Max cried. She knew she was being a hypocrite when she said that. She killed Ben because she didn't want to be captured. It was only human nature.

" Society owes be this. I didn't ask to be freak."

" Well I didn't ask for it either." Max explained. " But I dealt with it."

" What do you know about anything? You're normal."

" If you call a genetically engineered soldier normal." Max said.

" You mean, you're like me, you and Alec? That's explains why he didn't die."

" Yes, it explains it," Alec said breaking him silence trough all of the commotion.

Lana looked over to Alec, he was already up and about. He must have been very strong. She remembered how he was when he was with her. He was very strong, in every way imaginable. " Look I'm sorry ok. Can you two just let me go? I'll leave here as soon as I get the chance. I promise I won't kill anyone else."

Max laughed at her plea. It made no sense. She didn't have a choice but to kill people. " How would you get your energy?" Max asked. " You can't take Alec with you, he's mine."

She didn't know what to say. She knew she would have to kill people to keep on living.

" Have you ever thought about the consequences of you doing this?" Alec asked. " Do you think it's nice to play with people's head just for your own selfish needs."

" I'm sorry."

" Yeah the damage is already done." Alec said walking outside. He couldn't stay in the room with her anymore. He knew she had no choice but to do these things but what really got him the most was that she pretended to be Max. When he was with her, he gave his all, thinking it was Max and now that he knew it wasn't he felt like he somehow betrayed Max and he knew deep down she felt the same.

Max watched Alec leave the room; she could tell he was really upset, perhaps more than her. " Listen," she said to Lana. " My mind is telling me to leave you here to die but I have a heart. I feel obligated to help you out because at the end of the day us freaks have to help each other out." She got off of her. " I know someone that might be able to help you, I'm not making any promises."

Lana nodded. She couldn't believe that Max would want to help her after what she did. She felt really guilty now. Alec was really upset with her. She could tell that she disgusted him. It was a shame that she wasn't in any way disgusted by him.

Max walked over to Sketchy and felt for a pulse. He was okay. She put him on the couch and walked out with Lana.
