The Hunt

Disclaimer: Dark Angel cast and crew belong to James Cameron and Fox. I own nothing from them. I just write fanfics for a living and for my entertainment.

A/N: The character Clay, Joe, Kyle, Claire, Natalia, and Shane belongs me. I may put new characters into the fic later. Also thanks for the reviews so far for this, fic, also Max's foster mother will be around 40 years old not 30 years old

~*~

Max sense this wasn't suicide, it was murder, she quickly assumes it was Shane and his posse, well Max is going to find out if it was really Shane, she made a fist with her left had and she squeezes it hard and then she releases it, "I'm going out"

"Where?" said her foster father

"To think, like remembering memories about Clay"

"Oh ok," said her foster mother

Max walks away from her foster parents and foster brothers, she opens the front door and she walks out. She starts to walk down the street, looking for Shane and his little gang, because Max will beat him up and ask him, if he murdered Shane, if he did, Shane will never forget this day, that she will beat the living daylights out of him and she will be a very vicious transgenic, yes she will.

Max walks up the street and she takes a corner, she looks at Clay's house, and she notices cops are talking to neighbors about Clay, if there were any problems with Clay, some of the neighbors said he was suicidal, but Max, thought he was suicidal, then not anymore, maybe Max became friends with him, like this was special to him and probably changed his mind, not to kill himself. Someone murdered him, it can be anyone and it might be Shane. She quickly ducked behind the bushes and she notices two paramedics coming out of the house, carrying a stretcher, on the stretcher, is Clay, under the white sheet, blood is on the sheets, she covers her mouth, like in horror, like this is MURDER not suicide. She starts to use her enhanced hearing, to hear the officers' conversation.

"Cause of death, suicide"

"Suicide weapon?" said the detective

"A pistol, we found his figure prints on the weapon"

Max quickly stops used her enhanced hearing and she feels sick to her stomach, she starts to think, what Manticore taught her, even though she depises Manticore, she thinks a bit more and then notices, someone made him unconscious, the killer had plastic gloves on, so they won't trace the killer, the killer took Clay's hands, like making him grab the gun and then shoot himself. BINGO! It was murder, boy, Max is so good!

She walks out of the bushes and she runs into someone's backyard and she starts to use her flash-like speed and she leaps over the fence and she continues to do that, as each yard she enters. She exits the last yard and she automatic stops running. She looks at the speeding and passing cars, she carefully looks at the other vehicles and she starts to run in the middle of the street, dodging the other speeding vehicles.

She runs into a pay phone and she starts to flip through the address book, searching the name Fillmore, finally she finds the last name, and she quickly memorizes the address by using her photographic memory. She flips the last page of the address book, a picture of a map, like to find the streets, she also quickly memorizes the map and she close the address books and she walks out of the pay phone, she looks at the street name and she starts to remember the map, she nods and she now knows where to go. She starts to run and she quickly takes a sharp corner and she starts to flash- like speed down the street, she uses it only when there are no vehicles or pedestrians are around. She stops using her flash-like speed and she starts to use normal running.

Shane walks into his room, with a cell phone in his hand, "Hey Brent" as he starts to speak to his friend on the phone, he turns his back for a couple of seconds, "Dude, have you see Natalia today? Man, she so fine looking"

Max dove through the open window, she is quiet as a mouse and she grins at him, "Hello" as she said it very cold and dark. Shane turns around and he sees her, he starts to think, how she entered the room, of course, the window, "I think we need to chat"
