"What do you think I would do? Just prance with you back to good old Manticore? Max asked him.
"No, I didn't. Ok, let's get your whoopin' over with." Pryce said rolling, his neck, cracking it and taking a frightening stand.
Max looked at him. She had suddenly lost her confidence.
"Come on Max, I'm not getting any younger here!" Pryce shouted.
Max's body began to shake with fear, uncontrollably. Max looked down the alley, now desperately trying to find a way to run. Pryce shook his head in disapproval and then spun around and kicked out his leg, landing his foot right into her face. Max flew back into the wall and shook the pain off.
"Don't take your focus off me." Pryce advised.
Max pushed herself off the wall and tried to punch him in the chest. Pryce grabbed her wrist and backhanded her hardly sending her head flying over to her left shoulder. Max clenched her teeth together, rebounded and then kicked the back of his knee caps, causing his knees to buckle and fall to his knees. Pryce groaned in pain as she did this, still clutching her wrist, and with one hard yank, he yanked her down on top of him.
Pryce wrapped his right arm around her body, grabbing her left hip and wrapped his left arm around her throat. Pryce moved his left foot and entangled it over Max's feet, pinning them down, soon Pryce had her completely under his control.
"Stop it Max! Stop it!!" Pryce warned as Max struggled against his grip.
"HEY! I SAID STOP!" Pryce barked at her tightening his grips violently.
Max immediately stopped, breathing hard.
"Now, you KNOW where we're going, there's nothing you can do about it, UNDERSTAND!?" Pryce yelled at her.
Max didn't say anything and as a result Pryce stood up, yanking her up with him. Suddenly Max punched Pryce in the face. The force of a punch sent Pryce back and he completely let go of her. Max shook the hair out of her face and spun around and kicked her leg out, landing it in his chest. Pryce flew back first into a brick wall.
Max glared at him, her mouth slightly opened, hair hiding parts of her face. Pryce also glared at her, his eyes becoming dangerous as he wiped the blood from his lip. Pryce chuckled softly to himself.
"Underestimated you Max. Never thought you would have the guts to hit me hard. And now, sadly, you're going to be sorry for bustin' my lip. Now thanks to this fight, I'm going to remember it when your in Manticore and under my command, we'll see how strong you are in there huh?" he asked smiling walking to her.
"I'm not going back." she said.
"Oh believe me Max, you are." Pryce said.
Pryce then lunged at Max, punching left and right as fast as he could. Max blocked all except the last one, which Pryce landed in her face. The forceful punch spun Max around and cased her to fall to the ground. Pryce was breathing heavily and he grinned and laughed breathlessly as he wiped the sweat off under his nose. Pryce then grabbed something out of his pockets, flipped it around his hand and then put them on.
Max stood up slowly and cautiously.
"Brass knuckles? You need brass knuckles to fight?" Max asked breathlessly, trying to psyche him out and trying to make him think he's better than that.
"Yeah? Why not? I got you nervous don't I?" Pryce asked grinning, seeing right through her.
Pryce then took a hit which Max ducked and caught his right wrist, the one sporting the brass knuckles. Pryce kneed Max in the stomach, causing her to hunch over in pain and let go of his wrist. Pryce grinned as he saw the advantage and took it, hitting her hardly in the face.
Max flew back first into the wall behind her, the brass immediately cutting her flesh on her face, causing a long deep cut on her cheekbone, blood instantly oozing from it. Max held it with one hand and groaned in pain her head felt as if it were on fire and would explode. Pain flew through her skull.
Pryce didn't wait or want to wait until she recovered and took another hit at her. Max held up her left arm, blocking it, but the brass cut the skin on her arm.
"THAT'S IT!!" Max screamed and grabbed Pryce by the neck and lifted him up over her head.
Pryce clutched her wrist, glaring at her as blood ran down her arm from the cut.
"Nice, nice." Pryce commented as he looked into Max's deep brown eyes.
"But can I share something with you?" Pryce asked calmly feeling
Max's fingers dig further into his neck.
"What?" Max demanded.
"This." Pryce said then kicked her in the stomach, and then immediately put his right leg on Max's left shoulder, close to her neck.
Before Max knew what hit her, Pryce slammed his arm down onto her arm, on a pressure point. Max groaned in pain as she let go of his neck. Pryce then did the same with the left leg, putting it up on Max's right shoulder close to her neck as fast as lightening. Pryce crossed his arms over his chest quickly and spun as fast as he could. Pryce's spin caused Max the flip over thanks to Pryce's leg power and land hard on her back, Pryce landed on his butt, his leg over Max's chest, warning her to stay there.
Max inhaled deeply as the air was knocked from her lungs. Pryce rocked back up, jumping to his feet without using his arms and stepping over Max, her between his legs as he grabbed a gun out of his leather jacket and pointed it at her. He glared at her as he slipped the brass knuckles off his hand and back into his pocket. Max looked at the cold metal of the gun and then raised her eyes to Pryce who was heaving hardly trying to get oxygen in him as fast as he could, sweat pouring down him and a couple of lines of blood from his forehead and lip.
"GET up." he warned.
Max didn't move.
"NOW!!!!" Pryce shouted at her stepping back allowing her to stand, which she did very slowly.
Pryce grabbed her neck and yanked her close to him, spinning her around, wrapping his arm around her throat.
"Ok, Maxie, this is how it's gonna be, we're gonna walk through that club and go to my car, alright. YOU SAY NOTHING! NOT A WORD! You just walk, do you understand me Max?" he asked still out of breath.
Max swallowed hard but shook her head yes. Pryce moved his hand down to her neck, clutching it, a better way to control what she would do.
"Good girl, go." Pryce ordered, sticking his gun down further, digging it into the small of her back.
Pryce pushed her through the door and went into the noisy and dark environment. Max looked sideways trying desperately to find Alec. A guy saw Pryce pushing Max through the crowd and out of the front door, looked at it weirdly and followed.
"Pick up the pace solider!" Pryce told Max.
Pryce started walking fast and soon jogging. Max had no choice to follow his pace. Pryce dragged Max up to a convertible black eclipse, unlocked the passenger's door and opened it.
"HEY!" a voice shouted behind him.
"You let that girl go now!" he demanded.
Pryce turned around, turning Max with him. Pryce gave a mean face then shot him twice in the chest, causing Max to jump and scream a little. They watched the man fall down to the concrete instantly dead.
"Pryce!" Max screamed as she made an attempt to run towards him to see if he was alive and possibly try to save his life.
"Oh no you don't." Pryce said and yanked her back towards him.
Max could defiantly pulled Pryce to the ground, but she was too caught up in the moment and in shock and fear to notice or realize.
Pryce grabbed Max's elbows, behind her back and turned her around and shoved Max chest first as hard as he possible could into the car door, causing the door to slam. Pryce shoved her forward until he was in front of the passenger's door, opened it again and shoved her down into the chair.
Pryce clipped one end of a handcuff to Max's right wrist and the other end on his gear shifter. Pryce then took another one and clipped it on Max's left wrist and hooked the other end to the door handle.
Pryce leaned in the car and over her as he put the keys in the ignition and started it's engines. Neon green lights shown through the air vents and his muffler roared loudly. Pryce smiled at Max, his face centimeters from hers, he then kissed her, got his upper body out of the car and slammed the door shut.
He sighed as he walked around to the driver's side and looked around seeing if anyone was coming towards the gunshot. He relaxed once he saw the parking lots deserted. Pryce jumped in the car and shut his door, turning on his lights and pushing a button, turning on his lime green light underneath his car.
Max looked down at her feet and then turned and looked at Pryce who wasn't paying any attention. Max then tried to get herself free. Suddenly Pryce threw back the gear shifter into reverse.
"Don't even bother Max, they're Manticore designed, which means even a transgenic couldn't get out of them." Pryce said backing up quickly and then shoving it into drive and driving out of the parking lot and onto the road, instantly getting it up to 95 mph.
Alec walked out of Crash with a drunk Sketchy. Alec laughed hardly at Sketchy as he stumbled left and right. Alec then stopped in his tracks once he saw the dead body.
"This can't be good." Alec said seeing tire tracks on the parking lot.
"Ha, cool a dead dude." Sketchy said then passed out, falling to the ground.
Alec scrambled in his pocket for his cellphone, got it out and punched numbers.
"Logan, I need you to hack into Crash's surveillance system, I am on my way, get it up from 6:30 pm to currently now before I get over there." Alec ordered then took off running down the street, leaving Sketchy passed out on the concrete.
Max bit her thumb as Pryce drove. Music thumped loudly as Pryce stopped at a red-light, biting his thumb as well.
"Sorry for punching you." Max mumbled.
Pryce grinned and chuckled softly.
"No your not, you're just trying to get out of hot water with me." Pryce said lowering his arm and resting it on the seat.
"I don't care if I am in hot water with you or not, I already am with the rest of Manticore, what makes you think I care about being in trouble with you?" Max asked.
Pryce didn't say anything.
"You shouldn't be sorry for hitting a person Max, you were doing it in defense and there's no apology for that." Pryce replied as he kept his gaze forward.
A long silence fell in the car, Max thought the light was taking forever to turn green.
"But hey, it wouldn't be bad at all if we were in hot water together would it?" Pryce asked smiling at her.
Max gave him a look of disgust.
"Screw off." Max said.
"Ok, fine, but I'd need your help. I could do it by myself but it wouldn't be half as much fun." Pryce said looking back at the light.
Max looked at him, sadly.
"Your sick." she said softly.
"Good." he said then stepped on the gas and continued to drive.
Pryce got them to Manticore, unfortunately and was leading Max down the hallways. Max felt weak, everything she saw scared her, the doctors, the soldiers, the weapons, everything. Pryce led her to Renfro's office and knocked hardly.
"Come in." a female voice said.
"No, I don't wanna go in there." Max said recoiling back into Pryce.
Pryce rolled his eyes and shoved her into the room. Ames shot up as Renfro followed. Pryce looked at both of them and walked into the middle of the room, pushing her down into the chair.
"452." Ames said glaring at her.
Max didn't want to look at him, she just sighed. Ames walked beside her and grabbed her chin and forced her to look into his eyes.
"Nice to see you again, welcome home." Ames said.
Pryce made his way to Renfro's cabinet again and started grabbing various things and walked back over and put them on the edge of her desk.
"452, we have not seen you in a long time, glad to see you have been managing to get by in this broken world." Renfro said smiling. Max glared at her.
"Yea, well it's not as hard as everyone makes it out to be." Max said raising an eyebrow.
Pryce grinned a little, keeping his head down low making sure Renfro couldn't see him smile. One thing he loved about Max, was seeing her mouth off HIS bosses.
"Well let me remind you you're in Manticore now Max, your going to have to follow some rules." Renfro began.
"Or thousands." Pryce corrected pouring peroxide over a towel.
"But it is indeed 2:30 am, and it's past my bedtime, so we must discuss this in the morning, later." Renfro said grabbing her suitcase.
Pryce hopped off the table and then started cleaning up her cuts on her cheek and arm. Max looked at him, not in a weird way but just looked at him.
"I'm doing this because your hands are tied, and I don't want a hot trannie like you going ugly b/c it falls off." Pryce said.
Max closed her eyes tight feeling the peroxide sizzle and bubble on her arm. Pryce smiled.
"That and I just love making your life a living hell." Pryce said.
"Come on I'll show you you're cell." Ames said grabbing her arm and making her get up.
"Night night sunshine!" Pryce called out as the two left the room.
