A/N: Please keep sending reviews. I need some input. Thx!
Zach was having another sleepless night. His thoughts weren't as disorganized now so he was starting to see things more clearly. The past few days helped him because he was able to revisit places he had been to, in hopes of reviving his memory. He awoke in the middle of the night, sweat coming down along the sides of his face. Max, from the room next door, heard Zach call out so she ran into his room.
"What's wrong?" Max asked with a worried look on her face. Then she started to see a different side to Zach she had never seen before- he started to cry. She sat down next to him.
"I remember now. I'm sorry, Max."
"For what?"
"I failed all of you. I said I'd look out for everyone, but I didn't and now....Brin and Tinga are gone...you almost died..."
"No, Zach," Max said shaking her head, "It wasn't your fault. You did what you could. We both did."
"I don't know what I would have done if I lost you, Max," Zach said taking her face in his hands.
"But you didn't. You saved me. That's you in here," she said pointing to her heart.
"Thanks for staying by me Max," Zach said and he leaned in to kiss her but she pushed him abruptly away. "What's the matter? I thought we could be together like old times," he asked.
"We were never like that Zach. We're family."
"But I care about you."
"I do too, but not like that."
"It's him isn't it? How can you love him and not me?! I put my life out there for you! Without me you would still be at Manticore!"
"I'll always owe you for that, Zach, and I would do the same for you!"
"We go back Max! Closer than you and that traitor can ever be! What has he done that's so special, huh?!" and with that Zach got up to leave the apartment. As he was about to head out the door Max called him.
"Zach, where are you going?!"
"It doesn't matter. Nothing matters anymore."
"We could talk. Just stay here."
"It doesn't matter! You don't understand!"
"Make me understand!"
"I don't have time for this!" he yelled heading out the door.
"Don't do something you're gonna regret."
"I know what I have to do." Max realized he would head over to Logan's and it wouldn't be a good thing, so she tried to stop him by grabbing his arm, but he only pushed her to the ground. She got up ready to fight if necessary and as she tried to knock Zach off his feet he turned behind her and taking her by an arm pushed her into the apartment. Then he quickly closed the door so that he could break off the door handle. This would buy him some time to quickly run outside. When Max reached the outside she headed for her motorcycle to head to Logan's, but found it missing. Looks like Zach had thought of that plan already.
Zach headed towards Logan's. He had decided the fastest way was by bike and he didn't need Max following him so he took hers. As the cold air of the night whipped by his face, Zach thought of nothing but annihilating Logan once and for all. He thought Logan was a danger to everyone, especially Max. He couldn't afford risking her safety. Not this time and not ever again.
Max decided to warn Logan he was in danger so she quickly called him. She told him he had to get out of his apartment right away and that she would try to get there as soon as she could. Hanging up, she had no choice but to borrow a car. She took the nearest one and busting the window proceeded with her plan.
Logan was heading towards his car but, before he managed to reach it Zach had entered the parking lot. "Where are you?!" he yelled, carrying a small gun in his hand. He walked quickly looking around for Logan who ducked by cars wheeling as fast as he could. Reavhing the end of a row of cars he quickly wheeled to the other side, but Zach noticed him and was on to him. He fired a shot, narrowly missing. Luckily it only left an imprint on the car and not Logan's shoulder. It was a game of escape and evade, but wouldn't be for long now that Zach had spotted Logan. "Show yourself you coward!" Zach yelled. Max hurried on her bike, nearing Logan's apartment. She spotted her bike outside the parking area and quickly stopped the car to rush into the parking lot. Zach would have to be there and hopefully Logan was still here. She doubted he had had enough time to escape. Max ran with all she had in her. She had to make it. She had to stop Zach before he made a huge mistake. Most importantly she had to help Logan...
