As Max walked past the unconscious guard and she grabbed his pistol and stuck it in her belt. Alec looked at Max who looked back. "Come on." She ordered. The 6 stood their back against the wall. Max looked around the corner to see if the coast was clear, it was. She looked back at her followers who were ready for anything. Suddenly a big red flashing signal went off and an alarm sounded the room. Max looked horrified at Alec. Who only returned the look. "Attention all Manticore associates, 3 loose transgetics are roaming unauthorized. Secure them immediately!" A voice said over the intercom. "We only have a little bit of time. Ok here's out we're going to do it. We're going to run down this hall, take a left, run down that hall, take a right, go downstairs run straight and right out the double doors." Max replied. They all shook their heads. "On 3." She replied "3!" she shouted. The 6 ran down the hall, took a left ran down that hall, took a right, climbed down the stairs and they began running towards the doors. Guards had seen them by then and had been chancing them, shooing guns.

Bullets bounced off walls and chair as they ran. Max and Alec shoved on the heavy doors of the building and ran out into the dark cool damp night. They ran across the dewy grass and up to the large fence. Max looked up at the fence she had jumped over before. "Ok, I get Cindy, you get Rafer, and we jump over on the count of 3." Alec replied breathlessly noticing guards coming towards them. Max studied the fence as Alec rambled. "Wait!" she shouted. Everyone looked at her. "Wait, we can't jump it!" Max announced. "Why not?" Alec asked. Max picked up a stick and threw it over. Once the stick got above the fence electricity fried it. Ashes dropped to the ground. "That's why." She replied.

Alec looked over at Max, amazed. Max then ran up to the fence and stared yanking on it. Alec, Sam, and Joshua got the hint and ran to help. They all used their super strength. Then fence was budging a little. Cindy and Rafer ran up and helped as much as they could on pulling the fence up. Soon the fence was pulled up a little bit. "Go!" Max shouted then turned around to fight off the guards to buy them time to crawl under the fence. Cindy was first; she quickly crawled under the fence with Rafer following. "Joshua, go!" Max ordered. Joshua looked at Max then crawled under the fence. Cindy helps Joshua up on the other side while Sam crawled under. Alec and Max faced each other. "Go!" They both said at the same time. "Max, go they want you more." Alec replied. Max sighed and shook her head. Max squatted down and was about ready to crawl under when she swiped the feet out from underneath Alec and shoved him under. One third of him was on the other side the other half was on Max's side. "Max, I'm going to kill you for that." Alec replied. Max jumped up. "Hurry up and get your big butt over!" Max yelled.

Suddenly she felt a pair of hands grab her and flip her over in the air. Max hit the ground hard and rolled a little. Max jumped up and faced White. Alec stood up on the other end of the fence, his eyes almost jumping out of their sockets. "Max!" He yelled. Max raised her fists to her chest. "I should have killed you when I had the chance 452. Your nothing but a trouble maker, a thorn in my side." He hissed. "Your loss." She said smiling. White threw a punch to her face. Max blocked it and kicked him in the side. Ames recovered quickly and kicked her in the chest, which sent her flying into the fence. She was still weak from the fight with Alec that took up most of her strength, no way would she be able to win against a familiar. Max looked around and then jumped up in the look out pad, high above the ground. Ames looked up and saw one of the employees flying out of it.

Ames took a step to the right and the employee landed right in the spot where Ames was previously standing. Ames looked back up at the look out pad. Max knew she didn't have much time. "Hey Ames!' She shouted. Ames glared up at her. Max then punched hard on the big red button near the door. Ames mouth dropped as he heard thousands of cage doors being flown open. Max smiled then she took out the gun and shot the power box 3 times. Immediately the outside lights and every inch of power went off, including the fence electricity.

Max jumped off the look out pad, onto the ground. And kicked Ames hard in the face. "That was for Logan." She replied. She didn't waste any time for him to get back to his feet. She immediately kicked in the face. "That was for making me fight." She said. Ames got up to his feet and Max kicked him in the thigh and hen punched him the face. "That was for capturing my friends." She added. Once Ames turned toward her she kicked him in the chest back against the fence. "That was for capturing me." She said smiling. Ames made a notion to punch her but she blocked it and punched him in the face and swiped his feet out from under him. "That was for spreading lies about us." She said. Ames jumped up. Max grabbed his shoulders and somersaulted over his head then kicked him in the back and the punched him hard in the face. "That was for even THINKING about keeping me here." She shot at him. Max grabbed the collar of his shirt and yanked him up. "And you wanna know what this is for? This is for all those terrible things you did to Alec in order to find me!" She replied then slammed him against the ground.

Max looked at him as he began to sit up, then she jumped over the fence. She landed on her side and tumbled a little while before the impact of the jump had stopped her. She looked across the fence and saw Ames glaring at her.

Ames's cold eyes glared at her from across the fence. "You're dead 452." He warned. Max jumped up and jogged off a little ways. Once she reached her friends once she turned around, Ames was out of site. Max shook his eerily voice out of her head and turned to her 5 friends. "Here's the deal, we're going to run through the woods until we get to the city limits. Then we're going to go down Sector 12 and into that old abandoned building, and then we stay there until we got a game plan. Got it?" She asked. "Isn't that the same place White smashed his car through the all and shot you?" He asked looking at her. "Yeah, how'd you know about that?" Max asked. Alec grinned. "I have my ways. or shall we say Logan does." Alec admitted. Max looked down at her feet her back up at them. "I'm gonna split from you guys." She announced noticing guards filing out from the building in a distance. "Max, no way." Alec replied looking at her. "Alec, please don't argue, ok? I know what I'm doing." Max replied looking sadly at him.

Alec returned the sad look. He knew there was nothing her could do to make her change her mind. "If I'm not out in 2 minutes go on." Max replied. Alec reluctantly shook his head yes. Alec glanced painfully at her. "I love you." He whispered. Max smiled. "I love you more." She said smiling taking a step closer to him and taking his palm in hers. Alec giggled at her remark. "No, I love you more." Alec said smiling. Max closed her eyes and sighed a love sick sigh then reopened her eyes, looking into his. "Not possible." She said softly. Alec's smile faded and he kissed her passionately, wrapping his arms around her, not wanting to let go. Cindy raised an eyebrow. "Ok guy, I'm not no Manticore creature or anythin' but those people are getting close and I don't think they going to wish you luck." Cindy replied. Neither Max nor Alec paid any attention to her. Soon Joshua pulled Alec away. "Alec and little fella get busy later, gotta blaze now!" Joshua replied quoting one of Max's phrases.

Max smiled at what he said and smiled at Alec. "Run now!" Max shouted. The 5 took off running straight. And Max ran to the right then straight. Most of the guards went after max but some went after the others, following not far behind.

Max ran through the woods, dogging trees, bullets, and thorn branches. The sound of bullets being fired and richeching off trees and the ground made her run faster. She knew they were on the tale, she had to shake them off. She violently threw tree branches out of her face and he hair was a mess, flowing behind her. Suddenly she heard another bullet being fired. She felt it inter her flesh of her right shoulder. Max let out a noise as she clutched her arm and rammed her back against a tree in pain. Max fought to hold back tars and breathed hard, hoping that the clutching of her shoulder would bock out the pain. She laid her head back on the tree then lifted it back up. She couldn't stay in one place to long, she couldn't risk it. She didn't want to risk it. Ignoring the pain, she started running again.



At the end of the forest the 5 waited impatiently for Max. Alec was pacing and all were jumpy. Suddenly Max busted through the bushes, scaring everyone to death. "Come on!" she shouted at them, leading them into Seattle. They immediately followed Max. They got to the middle of the street once the soldiers busted out of the forest, firing. Max and Alec turned around and glanced at them. "Max, they're not stopping." Alec said shocked, thinking they would stop once they hint the city. "Keep running!" she told everyone. Every time they heard a shot being fired then bent down in fear of a bullet hitting them. Soon max rounded a corner of a building, out of firing range, the others followed. Max slammed her back against the wall. "Everyone ok?" she shouted at them breathlessly.

Each one said yes in their own unique way. Max shook her head and then grabbed a knife out of her boot. Everyone looked at her surprised. Without even looking, Max knew their faces. "relax guys, strictly for cutting people free if needed." Max said smiling. Everyone winced as they saw her dig the knife into her skin. Max squinted her eyes shut and dug the bullet out. It fell with a small noise as it hit the ground. Max let out a large exhale as she put the bullet away. "You ok Max?" Alec asked. "Yeah, but I swear y cause of death will be lead poising." Max joked looking around the corner. Alec and Sam laughed. Rafer Cindy and Joshua didn't have enough amusement to laugh. "Well, you got us out.again." Sam replied smiling. Max looked at them. "We're not out yet." She replied then led them further down the alley.

Ames stood in furry in the Manticore yard. Clenching his fists until his knuckles were white. Otto then came running up to him. "How bad is it." Ames hissed. Otto looked at him in confusion. "Sir?" he asked. Ames grabbed his collar and held him up against the wall. "How bad is it!" he yelled. Otto sighed. "We only captured 5, all the others managed to get out." Otto replied softly. Ames dropped him and his face turned into an evil sneer. "I'm gonna kill her." He told to himself. Then he ran to his car, swung his door open, and jumped in. He started it up then pressed his foot hardly down on the gas. His car went 90 mph down the dirt road to Manticore, nothing but red in his eyes.
