CHAPTER: Sugar
They drove down the streets of Seattle, Lana was on Max' bike and Alec rode behind them. He head no idea where Max was going but he knew her quest for a cure for the virus had introduced her to an collection of doctors that specialized in freakiness.
Max stopped in front of a building. Inside lights were on. He got off his bike and followed Max into the building. They walked into what looked like a doctors office. Max walked over to an old Doctor with wild gray hair.
" Hey, I'm sorry I came by with out telling you but it's an emergency."
" Hey, it's you. How's that virus going?" the lab tech asked Max.
" The virus is going nowhere, but that's not why I'm here." She showed him Lana. " She needs your help quickly.
" Now what's her mysterious illness?" the Lab tech asked Max.
She pushes Lana forward, " you'll see."
Lana sat on a leather-covered chair as the Lab tech extracted blood from her vines. She looked at the doctor with a suspicious eye. She never trusted doctors. She always seemed to end up in trouble when one was around. Also he wasn't really a doctor, he was more of a scientist, the one group of people worse than doctors. They where the heartless people who made her the way she was.
The doctor took the sample and looked at it under the microscope. " Oh my," he said. " What's up with your blood? No normal human being has.." He looked dazed. He knew it was an unwritten law to make a client feel comfortable but this was just too bizarre not comment on.
" Can you help me or not?" she asked. The guy was already annoying her. She was being looked at like she was some freak at a circus.
" I'm not sure, I need some time." The doctor said. " And twenty grand."
" Is that the only number you know?" Max mumbled from the corner of the room. This was the same guy she paid for the temporary cure. His office looked significantly better.
" Well these things do cost money," he said pointing at the various kinds of medical equipment.
" I'll get it to you," Lana said. She had some money stacked away incase of emergencies.
" Ok," he said and went back to looking under the microscope. " Tell me something, how do you feel right now?"
" Tired, weak." She commented softly but loud enough for him to hear.
" Well your blood explains it," he said, " your body needs constant renewal of body fluids."
" What?" she asked annoyed. She had no idea what he was talking about.
" You're body uses up sugars too quickly, it leaves you weak."
Lana was thinking if she only needed more sugars in her body, how come she got back energy form having sex. She wanted to ask him that, but she new he would most likely call someone to make a profit off of her.
" What I want to know is: what did you use to boost your energy before."
" I don't know I just ate a lot," she lied.
" Oh ok," he didn't believe a word of it, " I suggest," he continued, " that you refrain from engaging in sexual intercourse."
That got Max interested. Did he know more than he would let on?
" I mean, that uses up more energy than anything," the Lab tech added seeing the shocked look on Max's face.
" I'm going to give you a concentrated sample of glucose mixed with a drug," he said taking out syringes and putting liquids in them.
" Drug?" She didn't like the sound of that.
" Don't worry it's safe. I got it form a Japanese scientist. It's supposed to have enough pep to wake someone who's on verge of dying. It's very expensive. I'll give you a 98% diluted formula." He took the needle and injected it in her veins and stepped back.
Her body jumped upright and began to shake intensely.
" What the hell did you do to her," Max asked alarmed by her violent shaking.
" Don't worry her body just adjusting to it, she'll be ok. It may take a while seeing her condition."
Max stood back, she looked around the room for Alec, he wasn't there. She walked outside. He was leaned against a wall, " Are you okay?" she asked seeing him looking on the ground.
He looked up and smiled lightly, " yeah, I'm fine."
" He's helping her."
" Woo hoo," he said with fake enthusiasm.
She moved closer to him and warped her arms around him, " I know that you don't like her, I don't like her either but she still needs our help." He nodded. She moved closer to him and kissed him softly on his lips. He smiled at her and kissed her back.

Lana looked at them, with her body shaking slightly now. She could never have what they have. She knew that Alec loved Max; he said so when he was making love to her when he thought she was Max. She also knew that Max loved Alec, she forgave him so quickly and was more than ready to fight for him. It was the saddest thing on earth. She wanted to someone to love, someone hold her at night, someone to take care of her when she was sick, some one she could make love to without killing them.
" Don't get too excited," the Lab tech said interrupting her thoughts. " This is only temporary until I find something more permanent."
She smiled at that. Maybe now she could have what she wanted. What she had been longing for since the time she discovered it. Maybe she could have Alec.
NOTE: I'm sorry I didn't say the Lab tech's name but they never said his name on the show. If they did and I missed it can you tell me what it is? His character has an important role to play in some other chapters. I hoped that you like the Lana wanting Alec idea. It's the only way I could have thought of to continue this story. Review please.
