A/N: I know is a short chapter, but it was necessary for the development of the story. The next one is longer, and also the last chapter. Now, enjoy.
Rose: I love your reviews You are so nice to me. About that story of yours, post it. I'd love to read it and review it.
Black Rose: Enjoy Zack´s speech. I LOVED writing it, she had that coming. I was so pissed with her in SAR.
Bo: He got his memory back because transgenics have been all over the news since the events on Jam Pony. It just took a while for him to get everything back. The story takes place six months into the siege. Sorry I forgot to tell you sooner. Maybe I can address his reunion with his siblings in a sequel. Don't know, wasn't planning on a sequel. But what do you think? It could be interesting.
Pru: Here is more Zack for you.
Gabriela: Welcome and thanks for reviewing.
CHAPTER 4
Max wasn't crying anymore. She felt numb, like she was in a bad dream and couldn't wake up. Several minutes passed. None of them speaking or moving. Just silence. Finally Max found her voice and spoke quietly but with strength. The strength of a person that knows she made the right decision. Or the strength of a person that is too stubborn to realize her mistake. "But you were trying to kill Logan, I had to do something!"
He turn around and was on her face in a blur. His eyes in flames, his voice loud. "Logan of course. It always comes back to Logan. Don't worry, I won't try to kill him. I remembered everything. Manticore drilling their ideas into me to make me do their job. I would have remembered sooner if you had taken the time to help me. But of course you couldn't. When it comes to Logan, you don't think straight. You would kill me for him, you nearly did. And you don't dare deny it. I could see it in your eyes then and I can still see it now. You didn't send me away so I could be happy. You send me away so I wouldn't jeopardize your fantasy, your normal life. It was never about me. Admit it, it was about you. It's always about you."
Now Max was pissed. Not really, but being angry was far better that the pain this conversation was sending trough her veins. So she let the anger out, put the barrier on. "So what would you've preferred me do? Let you stay here killing people because I couldn't love you the way you wanted? Because I felt you were my brother and not my lover?". The words were out of her mouth before she could stop them. And man did she wanted to stop them. She regretted those words the moment they left her mouth. But still she couldn't stop. It was as if her mouth had a life of its own. The truth was, deep inside she didn't want to stop talking because she knew the moment she let him speak again, he would hurt her even more. And he would be right in every word. So she spoke again, knowing it was a cheap shot. "Consider it my moment of weakness".
A/N: I know Max sounded like a bitch, but she was only trying to protect herself. We know she shows that part of her personality sometimes. She's always a bitch around Alec, isn't she?. And the last sentence, she used it on Zack before. But don't worry, everything is coming together in the last chapter. Just bare with me.
