CHAPTER: Free Sample.



Max sat up from the couch and looked at the clock. She wanted to get an early start on the day so she immediately went to the bathroom. When she came out she saw that Alec was already up and kitchen. He was sitting down staring into space. She wondered what was going through his mind. Why he was acting so enigmatic. " I have to go see Logan about something."

*Oh great* he thought. *She's already turning to Logan.* he sat there for a while and looked at her. She stared back at him. " Max," he whispered with the words barely leaving his mouth. She walked over to him. He kissed her lightly on her forehead. " See you at work okay." She smiled. He was glad to see it. He didn't know what he would have done if she was still mad at him.

Max waked out the door and got on her ninja. She drove to Logan's.

She let herself in as usual. His door always seemed to be open. " Logan."

" Max." he said form behind his computer.

" Yep."

" Long time no see."

" Yeah I've been busy."

He knew she was most likely referring to Alec. He wondered if she was still taking care of him and if they had gotten closer. " So how is Alec? Is he up and about."

" He's better now."

" Well that's good to know. So have you talked about what happened." He was hoping that Max was angry with Alec for that. She had to be.

" Yeah, we talked."

He knew if Max was giving half answers then he obviously wanted to change the topic. " So what brings you by?"

" I was hoping you could help me find something. It's for Lana."

" You mean the one who slept with Alec?" Max nodded. " Why are you helping her? Max I told you stay out of her way. She's dangerous."

" You sound just like Alec now."

" I'm never thought I'd hear myself saying this but, he's right."

" Listen, it's okay now, we're friends and besides that whole Alec thing was just convenience. She needed someone. He was there. It's not like I'm about to weigh war on her because she slept with Alec. She was just trying to stay alive."

He didn't know Max would care if Lana slept with Alec. He thought she's be more concerned with the fact that she also tried to kill Sketchy. But Max seemed to know what she doing. " So what is it that you need help with?"

" I need you to find out about a drug called AD521."

Logan began a search on it and an article with little snippets of facts pooped up. He read it. It didn't say much. " It says that it's a drug discovered by some American scientist who work for the CIA. The head of the project was man called. Jonathon Almerick." He died in a boating accident near the Florida Keys four yeas ago. His body was never found." He looked at the shocked reaction on Max's face and continued to give her the information. " The thing is with the death of this guy. Was the death of the wonder drug? He was the only one who knew how to make it. The day just before he drowned some rubbers cleared his vault and brut the house down."

Max sat on a chair in confusion. She didn't get it. Why did he say a Japanese doctor created it? Why did he fake his death? It seemed he got in some kind of trouble with the CIA. She had to know why. " I gotta blaze."

Max arrived in the Lab tech office and sat down on a chair. He came form a back room and greeted Max with his usual stuttering voice. " Hey Max. Did you bring you friend."

" No it's just you and me. Jonathon Alemerick."

What he feared all his time in Seattle finally happened. " How do you know?"

" Never mind how I know. I just want to know why you faked your death?"

" It's complicated."

" I have a lot of time on my hands." She casually.

"He took of his glassed and sat on a chair. " I was working for the CIA. There was this case, a very sensitive one. They needed a deep cover agent. Her assignment would be in Russia. They set up a team to make that agent and as a result we came up with a human with perfect disguising ability. Her mission was to take on the identity of the President's wife, sleep with him, which would kill him. No one would suspect a thing."

Max suddenly understood what was going on. " You made Lana."

" No, I didn't make her."

" I made the drug that kept her alive."

" So why have you been keeping it form her?"

" Max the mission went wrong. She ran as soon as she got the chance the mission was never completed. When reports of men being found dead because they energy had been drained. I knew she was responsible. I couldn't live with my guilt for the part I played in her creation. I wanted out, and the only way I could get out when I had sensitive information like that was by death."

" So you faked your won death?"

" Yeah, and came to Seattle. You're the first person to find out."

" Well your secrets safe with me. If you give me some of that AD521."

" Deal," He said quickly. " She should be fine as long as she takes a shot every month."

" So why did you give her one that would only last two days?"

" Because if I gave you all of the real deal. You would have discovered something."

Max smiled and took the samples. " And I found out anyway.

Alec walked in Jam Pony and saw Max going trough he locker. He walked quietly behind her and put his hand around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder. " Hey,"

Lana felt a surge of energy travel trough her body. She felt amazing. Feeling Alec so close whispering in her ear.

" About last night, I'm sorry. I swear I'll tell you everything tonight." he wanted to see her face. He always knew what she was thinking by looking into her eyes. He turned her around. " Oh My God." He couldn't believe it. It was Lana he was just holding. " Why are you in Max's clothes."

" She lent it to me," she said defensively.

He now understood why she dyed he hair. She was trying to look like Max. He walked away quickly. He had an urge to go home and take a shower again. This was just too much for him to handle.

NOTE: This chapter was kind of stupid so I loaded it too.
