A/N: I know that originally I wouldn't be this easy to escape, but since
there was no '09 escape in my story the security isn't as tight. (They
didn't think anybody would escape)

CHAPTER 16 ( THE ESCAPE
"Max get up, it's time to go." He whispered. Max quickly stirred out of her sleep and got up. Alec led her down the hall. He opened a metal rack in the wall and nodded for her to go in first. She stared at him.
"What you didn't think we could just casually walk out did you?" she nodded no, and started climbing into the small passage in the wall.
They crawled until the reached two paths. "Alec where do we go?" she asked. "Right." He whispered and led the way.
They came to an end and Alec slowly opened the metal rack. They jumped down on the floor. The room was hot and steamy. "What is this place?" she asked.
"The boiler room." He answered eying a small window that led the way out. He grinned at her mischievously and walked over to the window. "Say good bye to Manticore Max." he told her and she smiled.
They got out and ran for the woods before the lights caught them. They ran to the woods.
"Max can you handle it? Or do I have to carry you?" he asked once inside the woods.
"Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm disabled Alec." She finished and they dashed as transgenically possible for the perimeter.
After running a couple of miles they heard the sirens go off, probably found out they left, but they just kept on going.
A million things ran through Max's head. 'Is this real?' she thought. 'Or is this another dream? It feels real, a little too real.'
Max and Alec could see the metal fence and they both smiled, running even faster. When they reached closer they could see Julia and Harry's van waiting for them.
While running Alec grabbed Max's hand and they jumped over the nearly 20- foot tall fence landing perfectly on the cement.
Julia and Harry stared amazed they ran over to the van and quickly jumped in. While Harry drove away, Julia was in the back seat with them.
"Oh, I'm so glad you made it. Are you tired, thirsty, anything?" she asked them.
Max and Alec looked at each other, "No." they answered at the same time. Julia smiled, "Hurry Harry!" she yelled, "We got to get to the airport on time."
"Airport?" Alec asked.
"Yes, we're flying to California. I booked us a flight." Julia answered.
"Thank you so much for everything." Max said.
"Oh sweet heart. Your welcome." She hugged her.
"I hate to break the moment, but we're close to the airport and I think the kids should change." Harry said still watching the road.
"Oh yes. I brought you some extra clothes so you're not dressed like that when we get to the airport." She said indicating to their blue camouflage pants.
She handed each a bag. "Why don't you change, I won't be looking. Oh dear, I just hope I figured out the right sizes."
The transgenics quickly changed into their clothes and left their other clothes in the car.
They got the airport and quickly got on the plane. Max and Alec sat by each other while Harry and Julia sat behind them.
Max turned around, "So where are we going anyway?"
Julia laughed, "It's a surprise."
