Ok, Here is Chapter 4 sorry it took so long. I got a new computer. Please
R& R I feel like no one is reading this.
Max reached Logan's apartment first and let herself in, as she walked towards Logan's office she could hear his voice, calmly trying to talk to someone. She inched around the corner and saw Logan standing by his desk, and Becca leaning against the wall, pointing a gun at him. Max took a second look at Becca, she looked so pale, and there was blood on her hand, and on the side of her face, the hand holding the gun at Logan was unsteady and she was shaking. Max stepped from behind the wall, "What's going on?" She asked in a calm voice taking a step towards Becca. She froze as Becca straightened up, grimacing as she held her side, and focused the gun between Max and Logan. "She showed up her like this" Logan said quietly to Max. Max watched the injured X5 carefully, trying to figure out what to do; suddenly her attention was drawn behind Becca, She saw Alecs shadow coming up behind the injured girl. Becca was slowly trying to stand without the wall, she took a step away holding the gun trained on Max and Logan, she looked confused, and Max was worried, she realized the X5 didn't seem to know her, and was unaware that Alec was behind her, they were trained to always be aware, something must be wrong.
Alec stepped beside Rebecca "481" he said calmly "what's going on?" Alec could tell she was hurt and disoriented, he knew she was reverting back to Manticore mode and he was worried. As she turned towards him in surprise tremors racked her body and she fell to the floor on her knees, Alec used the opportunity to grab the gun and slide it away from her. Her face registered surprise as she looked at him; he knelt by her and put his hand on her back. "I finished" she said weakly "I ..." she stopped as her tremors worsened, bending her to the floor. "Becca," Alec looked up at Logan and Max, "She needs a Doctor" he stated. "I'll call Dr. Shankar" Logan said reaching for the phone. The X5 shaking lessened and Alec tried to assess her injuries, but she tried weakly to push him away. Alec tried to calm her but she was getting more and more agitated, but her body worked against her, she was no match for Alec who was determined to calm her so he could get a good look at her. "My gun" She said thickly, and looked at him puzzled, she opened her mouth to say more, but another round of tremors caused her eyes to roll back and she mercifully sank into unconsciousness. Alec held her and looked to Max who knelt by the unconscious X5, checking her injuries, "Bullet wound on her right side, she is bleeding from this head wound, I can't tell how serious it is" Max said briskly. She put her hand on the girls cheek then bloodied forehead, "She too cold Alec, she must have lost a lot of blood" She turned to Logan "Shanker said she would meet us in the basement room, that way there wont' be any prying eyes" he grabbed his keys as Max watched Alec pick up Becca. His face was impassive but she knew that he must be worried; she followed him closing the door behind her.
Max held the X5 head in her lap as Logan drove to Harbor Lights; she was worried, what had happened, why was Rebecca at Logan's and hurt? Alec apparently was thinking the same things "What was she doing at your place Logan?" he asked. Logan looked in the rearview mirror at Max "She was doing a favor for me, getting some files, I don't know what happened, she showed up like this, she mumbled something about Lasers and completing her mission. That's all I know," he said. Max was about to say something when Rebecca started to stir in her lap, Max moved the girls red hair off her clammy face and tried to sooth her. "No" the girl mumbled barely audible "I didn't...I tried.... Please don't tell" her hand stirred at her side like she was trying to fight, Max looked helplessly at Alec. He furrowed his brow then leaned over to the unconscious girls ear. "Good Job, 481, Mission Completed" he said softly, Max was confused then noticed that his words seemed to calm the girl, Max could feel her tremors but she seemed to quiet and stop trying to fight. "Alec?" she questioned looking at him, "Not now Max" was all he replied, focusing on the girl.
"From what I can tell she will be ok, but I need some more time, She had a serious head wound and the Bullet went clean though. She should heal fine." Dr Shankar tried to sound reassuring but only Logan bought it. Alec and Max watched her intently knowing that the Doctor was not as sure as she seemed. "She is going to need a blood transfusion" the Doctor finished, looking at the two X5s. "I'll go" said Max getting up, she walked into Rebecca's room without a word to Logan. "She came to me offering help" Logan spoke up to Alec "I didn't know it could go wrong". Alec looked at him, "Why didn't you call Max, doesn't she do your little missions," he asked sarcastically. Logan remained silent, deciding that trying to explain to Alec would be a waste. Both were startled when there was a crash from Rebecca's room. Alec and Logan rushed in to find Max-pulling Rebecca off Dr. Shankar. "Alec!" Max said franticly as Rebecca's elbow collided with her face, snapping her head back. Alec leaped forward helping Max pull Rebecca off the Doctor, Alec pulled her back against the bed, she continued to struggle "Becca! Becca" Alec kept repeating as he restrained her, "its me Alec" She turned to him, "Please no needles, I hate them, no more, please" Alec saw the panic in her eyes and thought quickly. "You were wounded, you need blood" he tried to explain. She sagged against him, worn out, he helped her on the bed, but she didn't want to lay down, "Please don't let her stick me, I can't do it again." She sounded so broken Max hurt for her, what was she so afraid of? She watched as Alec helped calm her, he sat next to the bed after getting her to lie down. He stayed within her sight and was talking softly to her as her eyes started to close. She was amazed she had never seen Alec so tender; he seemed to understand the girl. She realized there was more to
Alec that she gave him credit for. As if feeling her eyes on him, he looked over his shoulder then back at the sleeping girl next to him. Then he got up and walked over to Max, "We are going to have to give her the blood while she is out" Alec said quietly, "She will panic but we can restrain her
". "I'll check on Shankar" Max said turning to go, she looked back to see Alec gently smooth the redheads hair off her face, as he pulled her arm a little away from her side.
A little while later they were all sitting around the room in chairs, waiting to see if the X5 would pull though, they couldn't stay long, but moving her too soon could have consequences. Alec and Max leaned forward as the girl on the bed stirred, "Biggs" she said weakly eyes still closed, Max glanced at Alec, who got up and looked down at the form on the bed. He felt her pulse and looked at Max, shaking his head, "she is not waking up" he said. "We can't stay here" Max said looking at him. He nodded in agreement, as the Doctor walked in. "I think she will be fine, she just needs to rest and someone needs to check her bandages, other than that she can be moved." The Indian Doctor said, absentmindedly rubbing the welt forming at her neck. "Thanks Doctor" Logan said, standing up, he looked at them, "what do you guys want to do?" Alec and Max looked at each other the at Logan, "We are taking her to my place" Max said, They wrapped her up in the blanket and Alec picked her up, they walked silently out to Logan's car, each lost in their own thoughts.
At Max's they placed her on OCs bed, being mindful of her injuries, Alec walked out of the room as Max pulled a soft blanket over the still form. After waiting to make sure the X5 was ok, She joined Alec in the kitchen. "She will be ok, Alec" Max said, "Are you ok?" she noticed while his face was calm his jaw was tight and he seemed a little wound. "I am fine, I just want to know what Logan had her doing, and how she got hurt". "He said she volunteered, she probably was just trying to distract herself, keep busy, you know" Max replied softly.
Alec didn't reply as he turned and walked into the living room. He understood, but he didn't know what to do. He felt like Biggs would want him to watch over her, but Becca was more than Alec was used too. He was a loner; he didn't get tied down, watching Becca meant that he was tied down, at least for a while. He needed to figure this all out, because Biggs was his friend, as was Becca, but Max was the mother hen, not him. "Alec" Max was looking at him, "did you hear me?" He turned to her "Yeah, just thinking, I am sure she will be fine" Alec smiled his roguish smile but was still thinking, what should he do?
