Don't tell me "no!" Chapter 5
Max looked at the cage door, ignoring the camera, it was out of reach and there was nothing she could do about it right now.
The door looked like one of those heavy duty locks, she could try and bust it open but odds were it wouldn't do any good, all that would happen would be White or one of his goons would come and knock her out again. Aside from the fact that she hated being knocked out, she had no real desire to see White's smug face anytime soon.
Her hope was that Alec would get Logan out and come back for her. What she figured had actually happened was that Logan had refused to leave and that both he and Alec were still out there. If Logan got himself captured again and it turned out she'd done all this for nothing, she was going to be pissed!
Max leant against the door and pushed with her legs, to the guards on the other end of the camera it would just look like she was leaning against it.
She pushed, putting all her strength into it. If it did open now she would look quite silly falling out of it backwards, but if it meant she was free she could live with the embracement. Nothing happened. The cage groaned a little against the stress but that was it.
Max sat down to think. Ok she couldn't open the door from the inside. She couldn't wait for Alec, so that left White and the guards.
Yeah like that was going to happen, get a grip Max she told herself.
They couldn't keep her in this warehouse forever, however they didn't necessarily have to let her out either. They could just load her cage onto the back of a truck or something. Yeah that would be more White's style.
'Coward!' She spat.
She got up and looked at the camera. 'You hear that White?' She asked tilting her head to one side slightly. 'We all know the real reason I'm in this cage is because you're afraid of me.' She knew the guy had an ego, every guy did, it came standard with the whole Y chromosome thingie. She also knew which buttons to push.
'I mean you've seen my DNA, we both know that genetically speaking, I'm far superior to you and your kind.' She smiled sweetly. 'I mean after all, you couldn't even pass on your genetic super-code on to your kid.' This was a lie of course but White didn't even know if his son was alive, never mind where he was.
Max blew a kiss to the camera and turned her back on it, waiting for White to appear.
It creped her out for a moment that she knew him so well, but reminded herself that Lydecker had always warned them, 'know your enemy'. Well she did, and she would use everything she knew about him to get out of here.
