They all moved out at once, but Max grabbed Alec by the neck of his leather jacket. He whipped around to face her.
"Hey, I just wanted to thank you for what you did back at the garage. I know it must've been hard, but you did the right thing. We're going to get her back," Max said looking concerned.
Alec was taken off gaurd. Max was thanking him? "No problem Max....just look at it as payback for all the times you've saved my ass." He gave her a weak smile before running off to catch the others.
There was no doubt in Max's mind that he was probably running to tell Biggs that their almighty leader had just thanked him for something. She shook her head and then left.

It wasn't too long of a trek on foot to Sector 9. The good news was that they were able to sneak by the Sector Police. Biggs tried to keep everyone in good spirits by telling jokes and being himself.
"Shut it Biggs. What if one of the Sector Police hears you? Don't you think fifteen people without sector passes moving through the backstreets is a little suspiscious?"Alec snapped. Even Max was surprised by his harshness. They went the rest of the way in silence.
Tensions were high among the small party. As quietly as they could two of the group took out a familiar standing gaurd at the front. It may have caused a distraction so they all hurried inside, Alec in the lead. From there they split up. The others had to keep as much attention away from Max and Alec without getting in harm's way.
"Anyone coming?" Max whispered into the com as she and Alec prepared to round a corner.
"No one. You're good now, but hurry up. You've got some on your tail. Biggs...You need to handle those guys," came Logan's crackly response in their earpieces.
Max and Alec both heard the unmistakenable sound of necks snapping. Max cringed, but Alec remained emotionless and focused. He was not going to lose Sam. He hadn't paid close enough attention when they'd gone to meet Bling. Then, he'd had the chance to get her out and he hadn't. She probably hated him by now. He would just have to make things right...and that meant getting her out and back in his arms.

Logan's voice returned on the com. "Max..Alec..This next corner you need to turn right. You'll see a gaurd standing infront of a door. Take a guess at the prize behind door #1..."
Alec spun around the corner and fired a single shot. The gaurd dropped to his knees and rolled over...dead.
"Son of a bitch! What the hell was that?!?!" Max screamed at him, but he was unaffected."What happened to 'use force only when necessary'?"
He could see the shot had scared her. She still refused to use a gun, and she was probably the only person in the compound who was unarmed. "Max...calm down. The guy was too far away from here. He would've shot us both by the time we got to him."
She opened her mouth to protest, but closed it realizing that he actually had a point. "Let's just get her out of here."
Alec kicked opent the door. The room was pitch black except for a single lightbulb, althought dim, that lit Sam's face. A face that told Alec something was wrong. A face flooded with fear.

Just as Alec was about to run to her and pull the gag from her mouth, something slammed into his arm. His nerves tensed and his fingers unconciously let loose of his gun. It fell from his hand, but there wasn't a crash. It had been caught.
Max and Alec both turned to fight the unseen enemy. It was to no avail. The darkness made them vulnerable. That darkness didn't last long. In an instant light flooded the room. HE had turned the lights on. HE had Alec's gun pointed at them. HE was someone Max really didn't want to see right now.

A/N - ooo...who do you think it is? Guess you'll just have to wait till Chapter 10 to find out!
