CHAPTER 11: Reunion

November 21st, 2021. 09:00

Max's thoughts were interrupted by someone calling her. What the fuck is Alec doing here? I thought he was going to sect… Before Max could finish her thought, she was hit by a car…

The car had come from a small side street with high speed. Usually Max would have noticed it, but because being distracted she didn't see the car coming. The car hit her frontally and she slid over its roof and fell to the ground hard.

The driver didn't stop, he seemed shocked for a second but then drove away with full speed.

Alec was next to Max in less than a second. She was unconscious but she didn't seem to be hurt too badly. He had to get her away from this street. They couldn't afford to draw any attention. He lifted her up carefully and carried her over to the small street from where the car had come.

Max opened her eyes slowly.

"Alec…What.."

"Shh. Don't speak. Are you okay?", Alec said and Max was surprised that he seemed so concerned about her.

"Yeah, I think so."

"Do you think you can get up? We need to get away from here…"

"I can try."

Alec held out his hand to Max and helped her to get up. But once Max was standing on her feet she almost fell down again and only didn't because Alec caught her. She winced silently.

"It's my foot", she explained.

"Is it broken?"

"No, just sprained."

"So", Alec began, "You'll be able to walk, right?"

Max only nodded. Although her left foot was hurting like hell, she didn't want to show her pain, especially not to Alec. It wasn't too far to her apartment, just a five minute walk… well usually. Avoiding all main streets and walking quite slowly, it took the both of them almost half an hour to get there. When they arrived, Max plopped down on the couch. By now not only her foot was hurting, she had the feeling that every single bone in her body was aching. And she was sure that at least one of her ribs was broken. And to top it she had a horrible headache and she felt so dizzy that the whole room was spinning around. But she didn't say one single word. She'd survived worse things, hell, she'd survived a bullet that went right through her heart! Some broken ribs, a concussion and a sprained ankle wouldn't kill her. And then there was Alec… she didn't want him to be there right now, especially not now. The way he'd looked at her, so concerned about her, she just couldn't stand it! She didn't want to love him, but she just couldn't help it when he was so nice to her. It would be easier if he'd go back to making stupid comments and annoying her. But that wasn't likely to happen.

"Max? Are you sure you're okay?" Alec asked her again. He'd noticed that she probably wasn't feeling that good as she pretended to. "Let ma have a look at your foot…"

"No…Alec, it's nothing, really. You have to go back to work or Normal will fire us both!" Max tried her best to make him leave, she just wanted to be alone but she couldn't tell him that.

"You know he won't, I'll call him later and explain everything."

Max knew that was his last word and that he wouldn't leave before he knew that she was okay and so she didn't say anything else and tried not to show how much she was hurting when Alec bandaged her foot. When he was done with that he first called OC and then Normal. Normal was more upset that two packages went lose as he was about Max and OC almost freaked out before Alec reassured her that Max was gonna be okay but she asked him to stay until she got back. She knew that Max was never gonna tell Alec to do so but she didn't want her to be alone. When Alec hung up the phone he saw that Max had fallen asleep. Well, although you've got shark DNA. But sleeping is probably best for you, Maxie.

Suki's apartment

Suki went through the lyrics once more. She just couldn't focus on them. The only thing on her mind was Matt… She had to find a way to help him, she knew she wouldn't be able to live without him. It'd kill her if he died… Then, finally, she had an idea. She knew it probably wasn't worth it, but it brought her a tiny bit of hope. She went off for Terminal City, the old abandoned sector where many transgenics had installed themselves due to the fact that humans never went there. Maybe they'd heard about White as he was someone who knew a lot about transgenics. She took her roller blades and ran down the stairs.

It almost took her an entire hour to sneak through several sector gates without a passport and to find a secure way into TC. She was surprised by the sector itself. She'd expected the transgenics to be more free here, but even here they seemed to be hiding.

Then she heard footsteps. Someone was following her! She turned round and found herself looking into a very familiar face.

"Sun?", Suki asked unsurely.

"Suke?", asked the other girl who was standing in front of Suki, she was probably the exact opposite of her. She was about 3 or 4 inches taller than Suki and looked older than her. No one would think that she was actually 1 year younger than Suki. Her blonde curls were shoulder length and her eyes were of a warm brown color.

Suki hugged the other girl, still not believing that she had just found one of her sisters.

"What are you doing here?", Sun asked, also stunned, "I had no idea you were in Seattle. I even thought you might be dead. I'm so glad you're here." Sun almost cried she was so happy. Then she let go of her long-lost sister.

"Let's go somewhere. I have a lot to tell you", she told Suki.

"So have I. And a lot to ask…"
