Max peered around the corner; the coast was clear so she bent her knees and began moving quickly through the hall. "I can't believe I am doing this." She told herself quietly. Soon she reached the last door. She looked both ways and opened the door. Alec was asleep, what else could he do? Max closed the door silently. "I told you not to come here." Alec said, his eyes closed still. Startled Max turned around. She relaxed once she realized it was Alec.

Alec opened his eyes and looked at her. "Scared ya didn't I?" He asked smirking. Max rolled her eyes and walked up to the table and flicked him in the head. "Hey shut up, you should be thankful I came here." Max replied looking at the straps and trying to figure out how to undo them. "Well, yet again your saving my butt. You know just once I would like it to be vies versa." Alec replied looking at the strap as well. "Ha, ok that's going to happen." She replied. Alec rolled his eyes. "Can you hurry up, I have a bad feeling.'' Alec replied.

"A bad feeling what are you hungry?" She asked. "No, it took you like forever to get here and personally I know Ames is stupid but it doesn't take a man long to go to Logan's apartment, figure out your not there, and come back." Alec said. "Just clam down, your making me nervous." Max replied. Suddenly she froze, she had a bad, BAD feeling. Alec then looked down. Max moved her eyes, she knew who was behind her. Suddenly she leased out a kick, hit Otto's face, and he fell to the ground. She looked at Otto confused. "Um Max." "Alec, Shh!" She ordered. "Max, I." "Alec, please!" She replied. "Max!" Alec shouted. Max turned around. "What!?" she shouted back. Suddenly White kicked her in the face, and out cold. "I..I tired to tell you." He apologized. White smiled and snapped his fingers telling Otto to tie her to the other table.

Otto nodded and did what he was told. "How sweet you and 452 sharing a moment before I place some unthinkable pain on you, and you think Manticore was bad. I'll make Manticore seem like a saint." White replied. "You better leave her alone, or I'll.." "Or you'll what!?" White asked interrupting him. "What can you do? You're the one that seems to be.. Tied up." He added. Alec glared at him. "I won't stay that way forever." He said quietly, but loud enough for Ames to hear. Ames looked at Max. "She is quite attractive, isn't she?" Ames asked him. Alec clenched his teeth. "what's that suppose to mean?" he asked.

"Hard to believe that she was built in a lab." White added. Max then stirred. White looked over his shoulder, then gripped her throat. "where the hell is my son 452!?" he said angrily. "I don't know." She choked out. White let go and paced. "Every time you say no I'm going to punch him, then punch you." He replied putting the copper knuckles on. Max looked at Alec, who, with wide eyes, shook his head no. "Now I am going to ask you again, where is Ray?" he asked. Max looked at him and smiled. "Not here." She replied grinning. White tried hard to keep his anger in. He just smiled and closed the door.

The door opened 20 minutes later. A man then walked in. Max and Alec's face was cut and bleeding. "Mr. White, I'm a specialist from the new Manticore and I am here to do some tests, there is a man outside looking for you. I am guessing he wishes to speak to you. It's my turn to have fun with these two." The man replied. Ames eyed him. "And you are?" asked taking the metal knuckles off. "Dr. Smith. New scientist for Manticore." The man replied. Ames shook his head yes. "Don't be afraid to be rough with them." He advised then stepped outside.

Alec looked over at Max. "hey max, we're blood brother and sister. Literally." Alec replied. Max rolled her eyes. "Well, well, well, finally caught you 2 huh?" he asked. Max and Alec glared at him. "Well, I'm going to set you free." The man replied ripping off his glasses and putting another pair on and running his fingers through his slicked down hair, making it spiky. "Logan!?" Alec and Max both said in astonishment. "The one and only." Logan replied grinning running up to Alec and cutting the straps. "Ouch, that looks like it has to hurt." Logan replied as he looked at Alec's face then ran over to max and cut her loose. "Kinda does." Alec said harassingly, rubbing his wrists from where the tight straps held him down.

Soon the 3 were standing in the middle of the room. "ok, we haven't much time." Logan replied scratching his head. "Ok, I have an idea." Logan declared then raised his hand up to Max's face, then he stopped himself. Max looked down at her feet. Logan turned towards Alec and whipped some blood off his face and seamered it on his face. Alec looked at him wide eyed. "Dude, that's kind of disgusting." Alec replied. "Yeah, you want Alec's blood, sweat, genetically created DNA on-" "Look, I know it seems weird Max, but I need to make it look like you beat the hell out of me, and I am not about to cut myself." Logan replied. "Why can't you just escape with us right now?" Max asked. "Because I have to maintain my cover here just incase you guys get caught again." Logan replied. Max and Alec's eyes widened. "Uh oh, that was a bad move." Alec replied walking off to the table where his jacket was, declaring he didn't want to be apart of this. "EXCUSE ME!!!?" asked rising her voice. "Look, nothing personal Max, it's just with the technology that Manticore has now, it's possible for ANY transgenic can get picked up." Logan explained. "Well not me or Alec. Every inch of our bodies are covered with genetically engineered DNA. Maybe you don't know what that means. It means NO junk DNA, every inch of us is covered with genetic information, specifically information that allows us to kick other people's butts, HARD!" Max replied. "Ok, then how did you and Alec get caught?" Logan asked. "Hey, just because we're genetically engineered doesn't mean we don't get tired! We run 13 times faster than humans and get twice as tired." Alec replied defending himself. "And when we get tired, we don't think straight." Max added.

"Ok, what about you?" Logan asked max. "I didn't listen to Alec." She replied truthfully. Logan looked at her. "Would you?" she asked. Logan turned and looked at Alec, who was smiling widely. Logan turned back to Max. "No." he replied shaking his head. Alec's mouth dropped. "You better go." Logan replied. Alec and Max nodded and slipped out of the window. "Logan, I'm sorry." Max apologized. Logan smiled and shook his head yes. "Oh and Logan." Alec replied. "Yeah guys?" Logan asked. "Thanks" they both said together then slipped away.

Logan looked around and threw stuff to the ground then he hit the ground himself. People, including White ran in. "What the hell happened!?" White demanded running to the window. "Someone came in through the window, punched me, and set them free." Logan lied. "You got punched?" White asked. "I am a scientist Mr. White, not a fighter, I'm sorry." Logan replied. Ames rubbed his eyes then he grinned. "Mr. Smith, please come with me, I have a plan." Ames replied smiling evilly.
