I never gotten this much reviews for two chapters for a story!!!! I can't believe that people actually like something that I'm making up as I go along..... now I have no idea where I got all that from so I'm not exactly sure where this is going, so please deal with me when it takes me forever to post. Whisper, no I haven't but I've watched a lot of soaps..... guess this is over dramatic...... Oh well people like it so it stays!!!!!

Max picked Alec up and laid him on the bed and began to debate whether she should call Logan. He didn't like Alec much at the moment and he was mad at her. But he was the only one that could find out what was happening to Alec and what could be done to help him.

She put a hand to Alec's forehead and felt the heat radiating off of him, she ran to the kitchen and wet cloth to put on his head. It didn't matter if you were genetically engineered a high fever was not good for anybody. She placed the cool cloth on his head and felt him relax, he knew it was her that was there beside him. She saw that his shirt had risen up and she saw the fading scars on his abdomen, she moved his shirt up and saw the incisions of an autopsy, god, how cruel could these people get? How could they have done this to someone and that person still be living? She moved his head up a little bit, which did not wake him, that surprised her. he had never been a deep sleeper, since she had known him he'd wake up at the slightest sounds. She moved his hair up searching his head for any sign of incision, she was confused when she didn't see one. Then she noticed the redness on his barcode, she looked at it more closely and saw the tiny hole. What the hell had been done here? What had they injected into his brain?

Max instantly picked her cell phone up to call Logan when she heard Alec mumble something, "What was that Alec?"

"He doesn't blame you..."

"Who?"

"He wanted it to be you..."

"Who, Alec?" she asked more urgently then the last time.

"He thought you might be the one...to end all his suffering...."

"Alec, shh, who? Who was this?" She asked, fear entering her voice.

Alec looked over at her with his unseeing eyes and she knew that he wasn't hearing what she was saying, "He loved you with all his heart.... you were the next best thing to the blue lady... he knew you were special... I know you're special... Ben loved you!" He screamed as he grabbed her wrist with bruising force.

Maybe she was wrong, maybe he could see her, "Zack.... he loved you too. He broke his heart to see you with Logan, the wheelchair boy. He dreamt of killing him, he wanted to get you far away form him... but he knew he made you happy and that's all that mattered in his life... that his brothers and sisters were happy."

"Alec... please... you need your rest..." she said as tears fell down her face.

"Everyone loved you, you were their savior, Max, and then you began helping people... in my unit and everyone else..."

"How do you know all this Alec... most of it happened outside of Manticore?"

"No! They... they... took Ben apart... not me... poor Ben... No! They... They...I can't..."

Alec suddenly lurched up in the bed gasping for air, the world was spinning around him. Pain was etched in his handsome face, "They got their bodies and took the memory part of their minds and extracted the memories out and saved them until they could find a suitable host to hold them. They needed to know what was going through their soldiers minds so they could fix what caused them to escape. They needed to find out why some of them fell in 'love' when they were only made to be soldiers who killed.
