Max took Alec to Logan, who was pretty glad to see him alive. Max helped
Logan fix his cuts on his body. Logan dabbed peroxide solution on a cutip
and gently touched it on the long deep cut over his right eyebrow. Alec
winced once he felt it bubble, Max couldn't help but grin at him.
Suddenly, once they were finishing up, a hard banging came to the door.
Alec jumped up and stared at the door in horror. "What the-'' Logan
replied, but before he could finish his sentence Alec shoved him into a
closet. Then he grabbed Max, covered her mouth with his hand, and pulled
her in there too. He stood next to Logan, trying to stay in the shadows.
Seconds later Logan heard his front door being kicked down. Max's eyes
widened once they heard most people looking around.
Ames's eyes scanned the room and everything in it carefully. He walked around and looked at things that were on his table, coffee table, TV, everywhere. Ames sighed, he found nothing of any use, but then something gleaming caught his eye. Ames walked up to the edge of the TV and picked something up in his hand. He examined it; it seemed to be a necklace. He turned it over and engraved on the back was the word 'Ben'. A smile slowly stretched across his face, he was aware of who Ben was, and very pleased. He tucked it into his suit pocket near his chest and continued to look around. Suddenly the closet door swung open. Alec pushed his back up against the wall as far as he could; the darkness and shadows barely hid them. The man that had opened the closet door shouted "Clear!'' then closed it.
Finally they all left. Alec, with his hand over Max's mouth fell out of the closet as did Max and Logan. "What the hell was that about!?" Max shouted getting up. Alec pulled himself up and sighed. "Um.. guys White put a tracking device in me. And they're probably going to go back and check it to double check where I am." Alec replied. Max glared at him. "Alec you could have gotten us killed OR worse!" Max shouted. "Max I'm sorry I was going to leave soon I didn't think he would start looking so soon." Alec apologized. Logan led Alec and instructed him to lie on the table. With the help of his fancy gadgets he located the tracking device underneath a couple of layers of his skin. Logan was able to get it out, and then threw it out the window. "Don't you remember back at Manticore how they said never to put another solider in danger?" Max asked still upset.
"Yeah right Max, Manticore could care less if you were left on the battlefield dying! They could just make more, they sure as hell didn't tell us what you just told me!" Alec shouted getting mad himself. Max stopped. "Ok, sorry. I guess I was the only one that thought of everyone else before myself." Max replied lowering her voice. "Oh don't!'' Alec shouted jumping up and pointing a finger at her. "Don't you dare say that Max! You might have at first, but when you and the other 11 kids started making plans to escape, that's when you turned selfish. You just cared about getting yourself out. But what about everyone else Max? Do you think about what they would do to us? The pain.the torture." Alec replied tears coming to his eyes.
Max sighed. "Alec, get out. I'm not helping you anymore. I am sorry I let you out of Manticore, I'm sorry for saved your butt more than once, and I'm sorry I became your friend." Max replied coldly. Alec only stared at her. "Max calm down, I am sure you don't mean the things you said. You're just stressed, we all are, but we have to stick together." Logan replied. "No, I did mean what I said, now go Alec." Max ordered. Alec looked at Logan then back at Max then finally left. Logan sighed. "Not a smart move." Logan warned. "Shut up." Max warned.
Alec walked down the streets. Dark has fallen and when Alec breathed out he could see his breath. Max's harsh words echoed in Alec's head as he walked, his hands in his pockets. Yet she was right, he shouldn't have stayed, that was a mistake. He unlocked the door to his apartment and walked in his room to change cloths. Alec yanked his shirt over his head and threw it on his bed. He put a tight black shirt on and glanced at the shirt that was on his bed, with red splotches on it. He blinked as he recapped what went down today. He was proud how he took the beatings far and square, he was amazed how strong he had been.
He shook his head and walked into the bathroom. He cupped his hands under the running water, and then splashed it in his face. He looked at himself in the mirror as he ran his wet hand through his hair, causing it to spike a little. He sighed loudly as he just looked at himself if the mirror.
Suddenly someone began to bang on his door. Alec froze; the only thing that moved was his eyes. He looked as far as he could behind him then once he could look anymore he turned his head slowly. The banging came again only harder and longer. Alec grabbed his black leather jacket and quietly ran to the living room. Alec ran to the window and yanked the curtains back and looked through the darkness. His eyes widen as he saw White's car.
"Crap" he said to himself. Suddenly the door slammed down the ground and Alec swirled around in response. Armed men started coming in, along with Otto and Ames. "494, I am growing weary of this game." Ames warned. Alec glared at him. "How did you find me?" Alec asked. "One of your friends, he's a real idiot. He actually believed I was your father." Ames replied. Alec sighed aloud. "Sketch." He told himself. Ames grinned. "Now 494, I think you should come with me." Ames replied. All the men started moving in closer. Alec looked everywhere, trying to find someway to escape. Suddenly he turned around and jumped through the glass window and out of the building.
Glass shattered as he fell; he landed on his feet, on the concrete. "He.. He landed on his feet!!!!!" Otto replied amazed. "Of course he did you idiot, he's genetically engineered." Ames replied. "Now get your big butts down there and get him!" Ames shouted noticing Alec began running. Once everyone was out of the room, Ames looked around then jumped out the window himself. Once he landed Ames took off running after Alec. Alec ran fiercely down the wet streets, he knew Ames was chasing him; soon he turned and ran down the next street. Ames fired at him, but missed him barely. Alec felt as if his heart was going to come out of his chest, it was pounding so heard. He couldn't get enough oxygen and it hurt to breath, but he didn't dare stop.
"max, I'm just saying I think you over reacted. You of all people should know that's the last thing he would do is put you in danger on purpose." Logan replied. Max didn't say anything. Logan sighed and stared out the window. "MAX! Come here now!" Logan shouted. Max got up and quickly ran next to him who was pointing out the window. They saw Alec running and Ames not far behind. Alec looked at the ground, yep it was wet enough. Alec then, unexpectedly, dropped on his side, like a baseball player that was sliding into a base. He reached out and grabbed the pole of a street sign and spun around it, on his side. White tried to stop but couldn't and just as he got to the pole Alec's legs hits his, swiping them out from underneath Ames. Max's eyes widened as Alec jumped to his feet and took off running again. "Wow, he didn't learn that move from me." Max replied impressed. "We can't help him, I'll call him." Max suggested.
Alec heard his cell phone ring in his pocket. Alec, while running, reached in his pocket, pulled out his cell phone, pressed talk and put it up to his ear. "Hello?" he asked breathlessly. "Nice move back there on white." Amax complimented. "what how did you know- ohh yeah that was in front of Logan's apartment building." Alec replied still running. "Alec, about earlier.." Max began. Suddenly a bullet wised over Alec's head. "Uh Max, right now isn't a good time for me." Alec replied running harder. "Alec, I'm sorry. I should have known that you wouldn't put me in danger on purpose. And I didn't mean the things I said. You're a great person and I'm glad to have u as a friend." Max replied, ignoring what he just said. "No prob Max, but I REALLY have to go." Alec replied . "Ok, but once you loose White come over to Logan's." Max replied. "Sure thing Max." Alec replied rounding a corner. "Alec, be careful!" max replied. "Always" he said then hung up and put it back in his jacket. Soon White shot another bullet then a series of bullets.
Alec dogged them but noticed they hit 4 people. Alec rushed over and checked a man's pulse. All were dead except 1 who was hurt badly. Alec grabbed the man's cell phone out of his pocket and dialed 911. The injured man gripped his jacket. "Please young man help me!" he begged. Alec looked at him. "Don't worry, I'm going to get an ambulance." He replied. Alec looked up and saw Ames running towards him. "911 emergency." A voice said. "I need an ambulance now! I got 1 man injured with a bullet wound to the chest and 3 other people dead!" Alec replied keeping his eyes on Ames who was getting closer. "where at sir?" the voice asked. Alec looked around. "35th street outside the Park café." Alec replied. Suddenly Ames kicked Alec hardly in the face, sending him back and dropping the sell phone. "Hey! Leave that young man alone!" a policeman shouted grabbing Ames.
Alec took the advantage and jumped to his feet and began to run. Ames, furiated, flashed his badge at the policeman. "Sir I hope you're proud, you let a very dangerous transgenic slip through my hands." Ames lied then took off running after Alec. I HAVE to get him away from all these innocent people before he kills more. Alec thought as he ran into the Seattle woods. He ran through the woods, pushing away tree branches, and gasping for air. Once he felt safe he shoved his back up against a tree and sank to his knees. Suddenly a violent arm wrapped around Alec's windpipe. Alec threw his hans up and clutched the person's arm. "We got him sir." Otto replied on his cell. "Good, secure him." He heard Ames advise. "Yes sir." Otto replied. Alec then saw a powerful fist coming at him and he was out.
Ames's eyes scanned the room and everything in it carefully. He walked around and looked at things that were on his table, coffee table, TV, everywhere. Ames sighed, he found nothing of any use, but then something gleaming caught his eye. Ames walked up to the edge of the TV and picked something up in his hand.
