"Hey Max, sorry it took so long, I. OK your not in the room right now...you should be" Alec stopped himself, realizing that Max was no longer in the room. Alec looked around. "Max?" He called walking down the halls and looking in all the rooms. "Max!?" he called again louder. "Ma-''he looked at the TV turned on, channel 3 news. Alec groaned, he had a good idea where she went too. "God Max." He said as he grabbed his jacket and ran out the door.

Minutes later White walked back into the room where Max was at, still lying on the table. There was a small puddle of blood gathering on the table under her wound. Her body was weak, she could feel it and it was also on fire. "The end is drawing near for you 452." Ames reminded her sitting down in a chair beside the desk. "W..What are you doing?" Max asked. "I'm gonna sit here and watch you suffer and eventually die." Ames answered. Max sighed, she didn't have the strength OR the patience to argue with him. Max fought to keep her eyes open, her eyes burned. It was as if Max's own body temperature was burning her eyes.

Ames took notice, leaned over and rested his palm on her forehead. Her felt the enormous difference in body heat immediately. He then moved his hand down to the side of her neck, double-checking her temperate. Ames grinned and leaned back in his chair. "Wow, I bet you wish you had your pills now huh?" Ames asked slyly. Max didn't do anything. Yet she was burning up, she shook, because she felt cold chills. Max moaned and groaned at the pain in her head and her wound. Suddenly Otto walked in. "Sir, McCormick is here to see you." He announced. Max's eyes widened and she shook her head no. Ames smiled and shook his head yes, walking out the door with Otto.

"No, no, this isn't happening. This is a dream and bad dream." She told herself. "Max?" A soft voice asked. Max turned her head slowly and weakly towards the door, she didn't see anyone. "Who's there?" Max asked. Ray walked up in front of her. "Ray White, what are you doing here?" She asked breathlessly. "Max, are you ok?" Ray asked ignoring her question. Max shook her head no. "Ray, you have to leave, now." Max said. "Max, you don't look like your feeling well." Ray replied concerned. "Ray, please leave. You have NO clue what you're getting yourself into." Max said trying to move. "Max, I am going to help you, you helped me, and I wanna help you." Ray replied giving the pouting face. "Ok, you wanna help me?" Max asked. Ray shook his head yes. "Do you remember what Logan looks like?" She asked again.

Ray, again, nodded his head yes. "Ok, what I need you to do is go outside this door and find Logan, he'll be tied up somewhere, you have to get him free and bring him in here." Max instructed. Ray shook his head yes one last time then quickly ran out the door. He jogged quietly down the hall, looking at all the people that were bound from freedom. He was about to give up until he spotted Logan tied to a chair at the end of the hall. "Logan! Logan! Max needs your help now!" He said whispering loudly. "Ray!? What are you doing- never mind, get me out of here." Logan said thankful to see him. Ray ran behind him and tried to until the tight ropes. "Uh. I can't get it." Ray said quietly. Logan sighed, knowing it was hopeless. Ray then grabbed a piece of torn metal that was thankful pointy at the end. Slowly but surely the metal cut threw the ropes, setting Logan free. Once Logan shot out of his chair he began putting a series of gloves on, he always carried lots with him, in case something would go wrong. "Show me where she is Ray, hurry." Logan replied. Ray shook his head yes and started jogging down the hall.

Logan followed still putting on gloves. Ray pushed heavily on the door. Logan and Ray stopped dead in his tracks, as he saw Ames standing there, Max in his arms a knife to her throat. Logan glared at Ames then looked at Max, whose face was full of pain and fear. "How did you-" "Security cameras." Ames interrupted, knowing what Logan was going to ask. "Now Mr. Cale, I highly suggest that you." suddenly Ames words where cut off, as he fell to the floor unconscious. Max slumped to the floor, to weak to stand by herself. Logan froze, but relaxed once Alec jumped through the window, smiling his trouble-making, cocky smile.

"Logan, Logan, Logan, you would think you would learn by now, you should never turn your back on him. He does what you least expect." Alec replied lecturing him smiling away. Logan groaned and ran to Max's side, feeling her head. Alec took notice of max then panically like a father who just found his daughter ran to her side feeling her pulse. "Oh god Max." he whispered to himself. Alec grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly as Logan called Shankar. "What the hell did he do to her?" Alec asked evilly, giving one of Ben's faces. "Alec." She said smiling. Alec managed to smile back. "She needs some of her pills and fast. My guess is White took them from her." Logan told Alec. "We need to get her outside, Shankar is going to be out there with treatment for her wound and milk as a substitute for her pill." Logan informed Alec. Alec shook his head yes. "We better get before people realize Ames is missing. Let's do this." Alec said.
