A/N: Well, first of all, full credit has to go to Sorrow for coming up with Chucky! I was wracking my brain at the wee hours of the morning and like the star she is, she produced that little beauty! Secondly, thank you again for all the reviews! I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but they keep me going. That and having Alec on the brain 24/7!!! Oh My! Well, I enjoyed writing this one, so I hope you enjoy reading it!

"What's happened?" Max didn't run around the subject, she wanted to know exactly what was going on.

"Well, there's been a little trouble." Dix was extremely skittish under Max's determined glare.

"I've already gotten that part of the story Dix." Max calmed herself slightly, she was coming off way too harsh. "Please, I just need to know what happened. Exactly."

"You're boyfriend got nabbed." Mole spoke up from behind her, ignoring the swift belting he got across the head from Alec. "Moron decided to do one of his Eyes Only broadcasts. Except it's not his eyes only. It's his stupid damn voice as well! You would think that someone of his 'supposed' intelligence would disguise it a little more. I can't believe half the morons out there didn't know it was him."

"Shut up Mole!" Alec clip him across the head again. It still didn't stop him.

"Honestly, what was his disguise? I'll take my glasses off! That'll fool them! Who does he think his is? Superman?"

"Mole if you don't shut up right now I'm going to-" Max moved inches from Mole's frame, a finger outstretch in front of her.

"What? Throw a glass at me?" Mole threw his head towards Joshua, who was sitting with Dix at the computers.

Max eyes went wide as she saw Mole suddenly gasp for air. Alec had his hands wrapped firmly around the lizards throat and was lifting him off the ground. He turned his head as he began to speak.

"I have three problems here Mole. Firstly, I told you to shut your mouth. Secondly, I told you to respect Max and thirdly, I told you that you didn't want to get me angry and look what you've gone and done."

Max moved across to Alec and forced him to let Mole go. The reptilian went crashing to the floor. Alec took a deep breath as Max stared at him, her eyes filled with terror.

What had she just seen? Who had she just seen? Alec's cold exterior had chilled her to the bone. She searched his face for answers, but found nothing. Was that Manticore? Was it 494? Or was it something much worse? Max watched as Alec's face returned to its normal cocky self, hoping that she would never need to know these answers.

Alec stepped around Max, avoiding her stare. He put a hand out for Mole who swiftly knocked it away. Mole rubbed a hand slowly across his throat as he moved to his feet.

"Firstly," Mole's voice was a little coarse, "you told me to shut up. Secondly, you told me to respect that she was leader, not her alone. And thirdly, you ever pull that shit on me again and we're going to have a major problem." Mole brushed off his shirt and took a seat next to Joshua.

"Dix." With one word, Max had the entire rooms attention again. She pushed the fear and worry she was feeling for Alec aside and concentrated at the task at hand. "What do we know?"

"Well. It looks like he gathered a little more equipment then we knew about." Dix bounced with reserved excitement. "He managed to set himself up for an Eyes Only broadcast back at Joshua's. Problem was, he didn't have enough equipment to stop the trace. Looks like he managed to defer the line to one of the houses in the vicinity, but the police picked him up as he was leaving. Seems they knew who they were looking for."

"White."

"No, they were looking for Logan." It took Dix a moment to understand the sudden surge of confused looks. "Oh, you mean White knew what Lo…never mind."

"So do we know where he is?"

Max was surprised to hear the hint of concern in Alec's voice as he asked the question.

"Does it really matter?" Alec shot Mole another fierce look. "Chill whipping boy!"

Alec mouthed 'whipping boy' and shrugged his shoulders in utter confusion.

"I'm sorry…well actually I'm not, but Chucky tried to shoot you. He pulled out his gun and flayed around like a big fairy, laughing and carrying on because you Max, had thought you'd given him the touch of death. If only!" Mole rolled his eyes and shut his mouth.

The entire room stood silent, watching and waiting for Max's guaranteed over reaction.

"You're right." Max spoke barely above a whisper.

"Huh?" Alec was shocked by those two simple words. This was the so called love of her life here. Her Romeo, her Rachael.

"Mole's right. He did try to shoot you Alec and he did…" She heard the laugh again. "He deserves what he gets."

The room remained quiet.

"Not White." Joshua growled as he forced the name from his mouth. Visions of Annie flooding back to his mind. "Nobody deserves White."

The room fell silent once more.

"Joshua's right Max." Alec moved in front of her, but she avoided his eyes. "Logan deserves a lot of things. But not White." He paused for a moment, making sure his words were reaching her. "I know he hurt you Max, but we have to help him. He's done a lot for us in the past. Sure a large percentage of that was annoying, but…" He trailed off, not sure where to go next. He took a short breath, "You know it's the right thing."

Max stood in silence. For the second time that week, she felt all eyes on her, burning at her sides. And for the second time this week, it was because of a decision she had to make regarding Logan. Neither one easier then the other. "Do we know where he's being held?"

Alec smiled at her and nudged her side. "That's my girl." She flinched away, still avoiding his eyes.

"It seems that they took him to the Sector 12 Precinct."

"Seems? We need to be sure Dix. If Whites there, he's going to be expecting us and it's going to be hard enough to distract him without being entirely sure what we're… why do you have that look on your face?" Max had never seen Dix look so excited.

"You said distract."

"I did." Max was grew more confused by the second.

Dix bounced up and down as he looked at Alec. "I have a really bad idea."

***************************

"You have got to be kidding me!"

Two hours had passed since Dix had informed them of his 'bad idea'. The not-so-manly yell came from Max's quarters, however it wasn't Max.

"I can't believe I'm going to do this. Forget what I said! White can take him and do what ever he pleases! Just don't make me do this?!"

Max had manage to forget the Alec she saw earlier. For now, she was having too good a time laughing at his pleas. Pleas for mercy and forgiveness for everything he had ever done. Max grabbed his arm and started to drag him out of the room.

"Come on."

Alec's eyes were suddenly wide, "No! I can not go out there!"

"Alec, don't be such a scaredy cat! It'll be fine."

"Fine! Do I look fine!" His eyes became wider with every word.

"Yes."

Max couldn't control herself any longer. She burst into laughter, having to support herself against the wall. Before her stood X5-494 aka Logan Cale knock off. Actually, Alec looked a lot better then Logan as he stood there in the only clothes of Logan's Max could find. He wore a pair of charcoal grey tracksuit pants, that buttoned up the side and a navy blue polyester t-shirt. His impersonation was set off by a pair of thinly framed glasses and well, that hair.

There was a muffled knock at the door. Muffled by Max's uncontrolled fits of laughter. The door opened slowly and Joshua popped his head inside.

"Little Fella, it's time to oooohhh!" Joshua couldn't help himself. He caught a glimpse of Alec and joined Max on the floor.

"Oh that's just great! Yeah. What friends you guys have turned out to be!" Alec hurtled himself onto the bed, crossed his arms and buried his head into his chest. "There is no way I'm doing this now!"

"Oh Alec," Max was trying to catch her breath, "We're sorry. Really we are. Aren't we Joshua?" Joshua tried to sniffle back his laughs. "Really, you look great! Really…nice" Max struggled to hold in another laugh.

Alec got up off the bed slowly. His eyes narrowed as he began to stalk towards the woman before him.

"I don't know what you're laughing at Maxie." He moved closer. "After all…" Closer. "This is…" Closer. "The look you learned to lo-"

Alec's head snapped to the side as Mole entered the room, taking in the site before him.

"Great. It's Childs Play 2." He shook his head. "Dix says we're ready."

"Mole," Max had finally stopped laughing, "I want you to go with Alec. Along with a small group of X-6s."

Mole looked at Alec with a fierce glare. "Fine." He then left the room.

Alec, still standing inches away from Max, spoke up. "I'm sorry, but no. I don't care if Dix says we're ready. I'm not. I'm never going to recover…" His hands moved to his hair. It had been spiked with god knows what kind of fluffy hair product and stuck about three inches from his head, "from this hair do! How could you fall in love with someone with hair like this?"

"Come on." Max shook her head and exited the room. It was best to ignore the question.

Joshua walked up to Alec and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "S'ok Alec, you much prettier than Logan. Much nicer hair."

The K-9 laughed and left the room. Alec grumbled slightly and followed.

*************************

"God, how could that man wear these horrible pants all the time and not to mention these shirts!"

Alec walked into Joshua's old apartment, talking to himself. Mole was right behind him, but he wasn't listening. He couldn't believe how uncomfortable Logan's clothes were. Although it did help explain that uncomfortable expression he always wore on his face. *Obviously a free accessory with this awful polyester shirt.*

Dix had been watching the Sector police via satellite and was relaying the situation to all teams. Alec, Mole and the small group of X-6s had manage to stay undetected.

"Why did I have to dress in his clothes as well?"

"Don't ask me" Mole finally spoke over his cigar, "You looked like enough of a dick as it is to me. Have you got the voice right?"

"Yeah I think so." Alec slumped in front of the computer screens Logan had set up on Joshua's desk. "I know it's somewhere between the Godfather and Dirty Harry, but with a considerable amount of geek."

"Let's hear it then." Mole meant business.

"Ummm, ok." Alec thought of something to say. A large smile moved across his face. "This should be him perfectly."

He cleared his throat.

"Hi Max, Alec."

Mole's eyes widened as he heard the uncanny resemblance of the wish-he-was-dead Logan Cale.

"I found some interesting information on one of my all night bonding sprees with my computer." Alec brought a hand to his chin and rubbed it across his face. "You see it seems that a branch of Manticore was breeding a new form of flower. A flower that may hold the cure to the virus. But you see, even if we did get the cure, we could never progress beyond hand-holding for I am a gentleman. God knows I couldn't have actually made a move on you during the first year of our courtship, because that wouldn't have been chivalrous enough for me. Eyes Only. I love you too much to actually sleep with you Max. Why enjoy a night of passion with the woman I love, when I can place you on the highest of pedestals and feed you food and wine, never crossing that line that would show I actually have a pair. I do all this because I love you Max. Oh and don't forget…be careful."

Alec shot Mole a satisfied smile and spun on his chair like a four year old.

"Looks like you and Chucky have a few things in common?" Mole took a seat on the lounge. They had a few minutes to relax.

"Like what?" Alec was offended.

"Two words." Mole held up his digits. "Whipping. Boy."

Alec shook his head in confusion. "What is with this whipping boy comment?"

"You sit there laughing at Chucky when you're just as bad." as Mole spoke Alec looked dazed and definitely confused. "You were ready to snap my neck for her! He was ready to shoot you! How are you any different?"

Alec sat there, his mouth opened, no sound being produced. He was about to speak when static screamed through his ear.

"Alec…Alec can you read me."

"Yeah, nice and clear Dix."

"Ok great. You guys ready."

"As we'll ever be." Alec gave Mole a nod and he was by his side, though quite reluctantly.

The fun was about to begin.

*********************************

"Ok Dix, are they ready to go?"

"They just need a couple more minutes Max."

"Ok."

Max crouched behind an old rusted out van as she signalled the message to the others. She had two fellow X-5s and four X-6s with her. They brought the best they had. They needed to be swift and hopefully stay undetected. Something Max knew would be hard if White was in fact running this whole fiasco. They had caught wind about the thermal imagers that White's men had been using to track them down. In fact it was the last bit of helpful information Logan had gotten for them.

Max truly did hope that Logan was alright. But seeing Alec having to impersonate him made her realise just how over their relationship was. Max and Logan were never meant to get busy. Not ever.

Max checked the time on her watch. *Just a few more minutes*. She was trying to force her mind to stay on the task at hand, but so much was going on inside. Having to face Logan, the possibility that White knew where they were at this very instant. What topped her worry list however, had nothing to do with Logan or White or this weeks rescue attempt. It had to do with Alec.

As the scene she witnessed earlier came flooding back, she realised how little she knew about him. She was beginning to realise just how right Joshua was about Alec's 'tricks and treats'. There was one thing Joshua was wrong about though. Alec had managed to fool her too. She accepted his bright, pain in the butt exterior. Never really taking the time to look deeper. Behind the colourful layers. But she would make the time. She promised herself that, because what she saw earlier scared her and she suspected that it scared him a little too. She wanted to help him. Needed to.

"Ok Max, it's a go."

Dix's voice suddenly brought Max back to reality.

"Ok."

She signalled to the others that they were ready. Now they just had to wait…Max's eyes widened as she heard the voice. He sounded just like him.

**************************

"Ok Dix. We're on."

"Ok Alec."

Alec turned to Mole. "Let's hope this works."

Mole hit the enter button on the keyboard. "Damn straight."

Mole moved away from the desk and left Alec to work his magic.

***************************

OC, Sketchy and Normal were seated in front of the large screen television at Jam Pony. There eyes were glued to the screen as they watched the broadcast from the Sector 12 Precinct.

"This can not be good for our Boo." She looked at both men who slowly nodded in agreement, even though they had no idea what she was talking about.

"We're waiting for further details of the arrest, but for those who are just joining us, we are here at the Sector 12 Precinct where it has been confirmed that earlier today the elusive Eyes Only was arrested. Authorities have released the mans identity as one Logan Cale."

Sketchy quickly turned to Original Cindy.

"Logan's Eyes Only?"

Cindy opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

"What, am I the last to know about everything? First you don't tell me that Max and Alec are freaks." Normal smacked him across the arm. "Sorry, transgenics. And now you're telling me that we'd been brushing arms with Eyes Only?"

Cindy still sat in silence, she was about to talk but the sudden interruption to the news broadcast got her attention.

"Do not attempt to adjust your sets. This is a streaming freedom video bulletin…"
