Chapter 12
- "Where the hell have you been?" said Max pretending to be 453 in front of White.
- "I had a thing." said White.
"Where´s my family?"
"All in good time, 453."
"Yeah, right." Just then Alec approches White from behind and hits him hard in the face.

In TC.
Joshua was in the HQ, worried about Max leaving town and worried about Alec too. He had left two hours ago.
"You guys! What are they doing here?" said Luke, distracting Joshua from his thoughts. They all looked at the tv monitor and saw Alec and Max with White handcuff. "Hey, Josh, isn´t that the X-5 that came to visit you earlier today?"
"Yes, Alec and Max," said Joshua pointing at Max on the screen. "she´s a friend and X-5 too."
"Well, not our problem." said the lizard guy, also known as Mole.
Now pointing to White Joshua said, "You see this guy? He´s in charge of huntting us down, so I guess it´s your problem too."

Otto and a second man got out of a car, facing the transgenics with his boss as a hostage. "Let´s see what you´re packing." said Max.
"We´re unarmed." lied Otto, but Max´s nobody´s fool.
"Oh! Come on boys, I don´t have much patience." They finally set their guns on the ground. "Allright, lets do this."
Sam´s son and husband got out of the car, don´t understanding what was going on.
"Is my son still alive?" asked White.
"You won´t be if you don´t start moving."
Sam´s family walked to Max and White walked to his men. Just when he reached the gund lying on hte floor he jump over his handcuffs and picked one up.
"Not another step. Nice work Otto." said White thinking he had finally won, but he´s the bad guy, he´ll never win, well this time at least. Suddenly a lot of guns cocked around them all.
"You guys wanna take a shot, be my guess, but a lot of people is gonna get hurt." said Alec.
"This is not over, 452. And I´ll see you soon 494." And saying this he and his men left TC.

While Sam was conforting her son, and trying to explain what happen to her husband, Max was talking to Joshua.
"So I guess you can take care of yourself... and me too." Joshua gave Max a big smile and a big hug and a big kiss on her foreheard.
"Hey Max," said Alec coming over where Max was after Joshua left. "I got you something."
"Whattcha ya scored?"
"Jacked a SUV from some gangster guys outside a strip club." and he handed Max the car keys.
"Thanks."
They both saw Sam talking to her husband. "It´s gonna be a long ride to Canada. She has some explaining to do."
"I appreciate this. I really do."
"Sure, anything for a friend, or the clone of a friend."
Max couldn´t help but smile. Ok, so she was a friend, which wasn´t much, but she could live with that. Besides he didn´t look so mad at her anymore.

Sam saw Alec talking to Max and after giving her clone some keys, he left the HQ.
"Alec." she said.
"Max, do you need anything else?"
453 pointed to herself and said "Sam."
"Oh, sorry."
"That´s ok."
"You need anything?"
"Yeah, I wanted to ask you something."
"Shoot."
"You´re sure about this? She´s an '09, 4... Alec. They´re not trust worthy."
"You don´t know them, you don´t know her." said Alec pointing into the bouilding in front of them, where Max was in. "And you´ll never will. Max here, she saved my ass so many times, no matter what stupid thing I did. I fucked her life a coulple of times too, and still she keeps saving me. Why shouldn´t I trust her?"
"You shouldn´t becouse they left. They never looked back or came for us."
"Sam, they didn´t even know they had clones. Hell, we didn´t even know it either until they took us to psy-ops and told us." he did a little pause, the sighed. "They just run. They did what we all wanted to do but never deared." said finally and went beck inside, leaving Sam thinking about that.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Max finally found Sam and hand her the keys. "You´re all set."
"If you´re expecting a thank you, forget about it. None of this would´ve happen if it weren´t for you." said Sam.
"You´re right."
Alec, who was near the twins and heard their little conversation, said to Sam. "Ya know, if Manticore hadn´t gone down, you wouldn´t even be with them. You know who took it down." and pointed Max with his eyes and walked away.
"Not bad, sis. Not bad at all." said Sam after a pause.
Max smile. Sis wasn´t so bad, she could live with that.
"Take care. And take care of that little boy of yours and your husband." said Max.
"You too. And take care of Alec, he´s really stuck on you." And Sam left Max´s life.

Max saw Alec outside, over his bike. He wasn´t about to leave, he was just there sitting, thinking.
"Hey."
"Max, right?" asked Alec just incase she was Sam again. Max laughted.
"Yeah. What are you doing here?"
"Uhm, nothing, just thinking."
"´Bout?"
"´Bout what Sam said."
"Well, she said a lot of things before leaving."
"She left already?"
"Yeah, like ten minutes ago... so you were thinking ´bout what she said." said Max to remaind Alec what they were about to talk about before he had noticed that her clone had left town.
Max moved closer to where Alec was. She was standing there, infront of him, waiting for his thought to be released out loud. She looked so beautiful under the moon light. It was cold, then again, X-5s didn´t feel much cold, but still Max and Alec were wearing their leather jackets. Max´s Ninja, which had one tire in a very bad shape, well actually, distroyed, was parked next to Alec´s so she went over her baby and sat, one leg in each side.
"If I hadn´t stucked around you all this time, I would still hate you." said Alec after a while. "It´s nothing personal, you know? It was the only way we had to feel better about what they had did to us. You guys left, and even we didn´t admitted it back then, we were jelous. I mean, you were out there, leaving the dream, and we were stuck in Manticore, paying for what our clone´s had done."
"I´m sorry Alec. You know, we weren´t exactly leaving the dream. I remember when I got out. USA´s pulse happen and everyone was like crazy. They were screaming, runing, robbing and breaking into houses. I felt I was in enemy territory without any backup. I hided in a warehouse for 5 days until I decided I had to get out of there and find some food, otherwise I was going to died. So when I went out I pretended to be a normal kid, you know? And then I saw the sunrise for the first time since I got out of Manticore and I knew I was gonna be ok. So I kept pretending." A flashback of many moments with Logan went through her head. "And I just keep pretending." said in a whisper, which Alec obviously heard.
He understood Max perfectly. He had pretended to be the perfect little good soldier who was loyal to Manticore once. He had pretended to be a piano instructor, and fell inlove with this wonderfull girl who had everything he had always dreamt of, but never dare to admitted. And he kept pretending. Pretending to be ok in front of his friends, when all he wanted to do was to cut his wrists and die or something like that, becouse the memory of his dead love, Rachel, knowing that it was his fault she was dead, always made him feel... weak in some way. And once again, he pretended to be Max´s friend, when he knew he couldn´t be like that with her. It would make him suffer. But he pretended.
"I was wonder..." said Max, cutting Alec´s thoughts.
"What were you thinking?" he said looking at her sitting on her Ninja.
"Iwas wonder if Manticore cooked up more of us... ´cause one is plenty. You know?"
"Yeah." said the X-5 with a sad tone on his voice. He had never met his clone, his twin brother as he liked to call him. That thing of the clone always made him feel weird, after all clones are exactly the same person, and that freacked him out. I this was truth, then he was some kind of backup.He was Ben incase 493 died. He was the younger after all. 493 came first, so he was the real one, and 494 was a 'just in case'. And if this was truth, then he was Max´s brother and then... You have to stop this, you´re gonna end up psychotic! This kind of things always gave him headaches.
"What time is it?" asked Max, againg cutting his thoughts. She was a damn expert on that lately. Alec looked at his watch. I said '5.07 am'
"5.10 in the morning. Pretty late. I gotta go to work in three hours."
"Well, why going to sleepif you´re gonna be up in two hours? Wanna have breackfast?" she asked.
Alec steared at her in sorprise. "Aren´t ya leaving town?"
"Nah, I´ve got somethings to take care of."
Alec wasn´t even going to asked what those things were; right now, he didn´t care.
"I know this place that´s open 24/7. It´s like those 1950s dinners. I´m not promissing any decent coffee and waffles but atleast you can eat it." said Max.
Alec smile at her. He was happy. She was staying, she wanted to have breackfast with him, but most importantly, she wanted to be with him right now. "Ok." he said. "Jump in." Just then, when she sat behind him and put her arms around him so she wouldn´t fall off the bike, he remember the real reason he had gone after her that day.
"Max... I´m really sorry ´bout what I said to you the other day. I really didn´t mean it." said Alec almost in a whisper. Max steared at him without saying anything. Alec couldn´t even look at her. He was ashamed of what he had said. But then Max smile.
"Apology accepted."
After the breakfast, Max and Alec went to Jam Pony. When they arrived, they saw that the entire staff of JP was watching at White on the tv saying that transgenics were dangerous. Max went over the tv and turn it off.
"Hey!" said Normal.
"Bip bip bip, people. C'mon, these packages aren't gonna deliver themselves." Normal and Sketchy looked at her for a minute, then Normal, coming back to reality, said "You heard her. Get back to work."
The rest of the staff went to their own business or to deliver packages. Normal and Sketchy were looking at her again.
"What? You got something to say?"
"Not
me. Nope." answered Normal.
"No. It's all good." said Sketch. And then walked away.
Original Cindy saw her girl, and hugged her.
"Miss
me?" asked Max
"Of course, boo. But, I knew our Golden Boy would get ya
back." said OC looking at Alec and giving him a grin. Even though
nobody said anything, Alec and OC knew their little fights were over and a
friend-ship had born.
