(The Next Day) Max walked down the street holding Michaela's hand and Alec with Colt in his arms. The whole family was out walking down the street coming from a movie. Colt laughed at repeated some of the funny parts in the movie as Michaela agreed and repeated some of her favorite parts in it as well. Max smiled at Alec who grinned back. Suddenly a car swerved in front of them. Max stopped dead in her tracks and pushed Michaela behind her then gave a nervous face at Alec who looked back horrified. Ames stepped out, as did Logan. Max's eyes widened. "Uh, oh." Alec replied putting Colt down. "452, 494, about time we crossed paths again." Ames replied pointing a gun at them. "Whoa, cool a gun." Nick said grinning. "What are you talking about?" Max asked glaring at her as 2 other cars starting coming, his men surrounding them. "You're pretty hard to track down you know that?" he asked taking a step closer. "Oh my God, it has been 5 years! I haven't done anything for 5 years!" she yelled shocked. "So that's supposed to change things? I am aware of how long it's been since I last saw you 452." Ames replied, not changing his expression. "Cry a river, build a bridge and get over it! You must have no life if you looked for me for 5 freakin' ears!" Max yelled. "Ok, that's enough, let's go." He replied starting to walk up to her, Max backed away from him.

Michaela ran up in front of Max giving a mean face. "You leave my mommy alone!" she shouted then started running at him. "Michaela, stop!" Max ordered running after her. "Michaela!" Alec shouted not making a move; afraid too make any sudden moves so the men would hurt them. Ames picked her up by the back of her shirt and looked at her before she could do anything. She struggled to get free but ending up doing nothing but moving in air. Max stopped dead in her tracks, in fear. Ames, gun, kid, not a good combination to her. "Oh, mini 452s..how disgusting. I remember when we couldn't pay you to have sex with 494." Ames replied grinning. Max glared at him, she hated him, she really did. Alec looked at them, watching, waiting knowing Max, she would pull a move. "Michaela why did you do that?" She asked helplessly. Michaela was in tears. "Because mommy." she said crying hard because she was scared. "I wanted to be brave like that one girl you told me about." She said in between sobs. Max had formed little tears in her eyes, but none fell.

Max then unexpectedly flipped over Ames' head and wrapped her arm around his throat forcing him to release her daughter. Michaela fell to the ground. "Michaela, run!" Max shouted still holding Ames. Alec practically shoved Colt into Nick. "Get your brother and sister out of here now." He ordered, then ran over to Max who some of his people were trying to pry her off Ames and frightening them. Logan started running to catch the kids. Finally Ames elbowed Max in the face and she fell off of him. Ames rose his gun aiming. Max looked at him and the gun then at horror at her kids. "Colt! Michaela! Nick!" Max shouted standing up and running towards Ames. Alec looked over at Max and Ames then at his kids. He was about ready to run towards them but some of White's men tackled him to the ground. Ames, a mean face on, pulled the trigger and the shot rang out just as Max pushed Ames to the ground.

Max looked over at them and saw Michaela fall to the ground. Max felt her heart skip a beat as she stood up and ran towards her. Alec's mouth fell. Max knelt down next to her daughter who hand a gunshot in her back and crying. Max grabbed her head and cradled it, crying also. "Mommy, it hurts." She said crying. "Shh, I know I've been shot before. Oh my Gosh, Michaela." She said trying hard to smile. "Was I like the brave girl in the story mommy?" she said, her face in pain. Max moved a piece of her hair away from her face. "You were better." She admitted. Michaela tried to smile. "I love you sweetie." Max said struggling to keep her with her. "I lo..." Max watched her eyes slowly closed. Max slowly closed her eyes sinking it in. Logan ran up to them and felt the young girl's pulse. Max looked at him, as he shook his head no. Max laid Michaela's head back on the ground and covered her face, crying in them.

Suddenly someone yanked her up and handcuffed her and threw her in the car. She heard Nick and Colt screaming and Alec shouting. When someone shoved her in the backseat her face banged on the door handle on the opposite side and she heard the door slam shut. Ames then got in and looked back at her. "Opps." He said evilly. Max glared at him. "You're a monster." She said disgustingly. Ames smiled. "Thank you." He said then turned around and started the car.

Max's eyes flew open and looked around. She felt the cool metal of handcuffs on her wrists and what else was that. a pole? Max's blurred vision cleared as she sat up and looked around. She was in the sewers. Logan then walked out of a tunnel back to where him and Ames were supposed to meet. Max looked at him confusingly. "About time you woke up, you've been sleeping for almost an hour. " Logan replied. It was a dream, her escaping, having a family with Alec, everything was a dream. Which also meant that the police up above them weren't there. And that they still thought Ames was perfectly normal. But when? When did she fall asleep? Max thought back. She paged her friends then saw that rat, then. closed her eyes and began working her ankle! That's when she fell asleep. But the dream was so real to her.

Max shook the dream out of her head. She wondered where Alec was. Suddenly someone knocked Logan out, making him fall to the ground. Max looked at Logan then up at who done it. Alec ran out and up to max. "Alec!" she whispered happily. "Hey got your page, I have been down here for almost 1 freakin' hour looking for you!" Alec explained getting in Logan's pocket for the key. "Oh this is awkward." He told himself. But soon enough he found it and released Max. "Alec, remind me never to have kids." Max replied touching her forehead. Alec looked at max weirdly. "Um, ok." He said. "Come let's get out of here." She declared taking his hand and leading him down a tunnel.
