Max continued to hold her hands over her head. Dust filled the air, making Max cough and gag. She heard the falling of rocks soon enough come to a complete stop. Max coughed the dust out of her lungs as she shook her head getting the rubble out of her hair and off her cloths. Max knew instantly the situation and the danger at hand so she immediately stood up to find a way out. Suddenly a sharp pain jolted up her ankle, making her collapse back to the ground. Max clutched her ankle, thinking that putting pressure on it would stop the pain.
"Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, OW!" Max replied clutching her teeth together, making sure she doesn't shout. Max then let go of her ankle and breathed hard for about 5 seconds then tried to stand up again, but again the pain sent her back down to the ground. "Dam it." She said breathlessly as she looked around. She was so screwed, it wasn't even funny. Suddenly Logan and Ames jumped out from behind her, prepared for anything that she might throw at them. But Max just sat there and screamed in surprise. Once she noticed who it was she stopped and put her hand up to her chest, feeling her heartbeat. Ames looked at Logan uneasily who only returned the same look. Why was she sitting there? "What's the catch?" Ames asked eyeing her.
"What catch?" She asked disgusted. Ames groaned he was really tired of her games. "Never mind." He said almost loosing his temper. He then grabbed her shirt and yanked her up. "Walk." He ordered, forcing her to put her weight on her injured foot. She made a noise in pain and fell into Ames arms. Once the pain eased a little in her ankle she noticed who was holding her. "EW! LET ME GO!" Max shrieked. Ames, with pleasure, dropped her on the ground. Max fell to the floor on her back. "Thank you." She said, sitting up a little. Logan walked over Max; bent down at grabbed her ankle. He lifted up her jean pants just above her ankle and examined it. "Does this hurt?" He asked touching it gently. "No." She responded. "Does, this hurt?" He asked moving it a little. "No." She said again. "Does this hurt?" He asked then twisting it hard. Max howled in pain and kicked the same leg Logan was holding in his face, which sent him staggering back. "DID THAT HURT!?" She yelled angry, knowing he did that on purpose.
Logan didn't respond, just simply shook it off and stood back up. "Twisted ankle." He concluded. "So will she be able to walk?" Ames asked impatiently. "Um, well.I'm not really sure but-'' Logan didn't finish before Ames yanked her up and forced her to out her weight on it again, only this time he didn't allow her to fall back. Max closed her eyes tightly in pain and tried to block it out. "We need to find a way out of here." Ames concluded once Logan stood beside him, both looking over the tunnels of the sewers. "Um, well, I guess we could just choose one and see where it leads." Logan suggested. "It could be hours before we get out of here." Max said complained.
Ames then spun her around to where her eyes and his were level. "When we're down here, not one word out of that mouth of yours, you don't want to push me!" Ames warned. "Do I?" she asked with an attitude. Ames then shoved her into Logan, who caught her but both of then went flying to the ground, with Max on top of him. Max looked into Logan's eyes that just gazed back. Brought back old memories. Ames kicked her off him and helped his partner up. "Come on, let's go down this one and we'll see where it leads." Ames suggested grabbing Max and pulling her to his feet. Logan shook his head in agreement. Ames pushed Max in front of him, with a hand on her shoulder pushing her along down the tunnel.
Max limped and stumbled as she walked but Ames just pushed her harder. But Ames pushed her to hard and Max fell on her side in the ankle deep water. Max sat up; pain in her eyes also a sign of weakness. The very ends of her hair were a little damp where she fell into the water. "This isn't working out she's holding us up." Logan replied pitifully. Ames looked, up ahead there where to tunnels. Ames had an idea, he grabbed the back of Max's collar and dragged her over to the other side and cuffed her hands behind her back. Then took another set of handcuffs. He snapped one handcuff on the chain of the pair that was on her wrists, wrapped it around a pole and hooked the other cuff onto the same chain. Ames stepped back and turned to face Logan. "You take the left, I'll go right, we search for 1 hour then come back here. If you find a way out call on the cell phone and then come back here. Got it?" Ames asked. Logan shook his head yes. Ames was about ready to go until Logan stopped him and looked back at Max.
"Wait a second." He advised. Max's eyes widened. Logan went to the other side of her. "Are you looking at her butt?" Ames asked him. Logan rolled his eyes." NO, she's wearing her Lee jeans." Logan replied pointing at the label on the back. "So?" Ames asked. Max groaned in defeat. Logan walked over to her legs, and undid a zipper right above her left ankle and took out her cell phone. He moved up to her hip, undid another zipper and took out another pager, not her original one, but another one. Ames lifted his right eyebrow. "Here." Logan replied tossing them at him. Logan then took the left. "I want a pair of those." Ames replied looking at the cell phone and going right. Max watched Ames and Logan disappear into the tunnels then smiled evilly to herself.
She thought she was dead meat. She weaseled her back closer to the pole and sent her hands down the back of her pants a little. There was a hidden zipper, which she unzipped and managed to get her hands into the small pocket the pulled out her original beeper. She felt the buttons and paged Alec, Joshua, Cindy, and Rafer. After that was done she put it back in it's secrete place, zipped it and just lay there. She tossed her head to shake her hair out of her face, more than once. Suddenly she saw a rat scurry across the floor. Max looked at it in disgust. "Oh God, I'm not here now." She said closing her eyes. Then she began working her ankle, turning it, moving it, through the pain. "It's official. My life sucks hard." She said laying her head on the concrete.
Soon Ames and Logan came back, both had no luck. Logan sat on a steps and Ames paced back and forth. Logan was typing away on his little mini laptop that he carried in his coat pocket. Kinda like a calculator only it was a computer. Max was sitting up her head back against the pole. "Oh uh." Logan replied, getting both Ames and Max's attention. "What is uh oh?" Ames asked. "I hacked into the police computer, they're right above us, investigating a kidnapping of a young late teenaged girl with a human and an un-human specie." Logan read. Ames eyes widened, and Max grinned. "What?" he asked coldly. "They think Max is human and they classified you as un-human." Logan replied looking at him. Ames walked over to her and grabbed her head yanking her head down towards her chest. There was no barcode. "How can you not have a-'' Ames began. "Lasers. Hurts like hell but gets the job done." Max replied smiling. Ames slowly stood up. "They won't know if she's human or not." Ames replied shocked. "The un-human specie is not to be underestimated and to identify him, he was a symbol engraved on his right palm." Logan read and looked up at Ames again. "How did they find all this out?" Ames asked them eyeing Max who looked angelic up at the ceiling. "494." He said disgusted. Ames removed his glove of his right hand and stared at the engraved symbol of the breeding cult on his skin. Ames lifted his eyes up in shock. "Welcome to my world. Soon you'll know what's it like to be hunted." Max said smiling. Ames just turned his head in anger at her.
