AN: I had a writers block and couldn't continue this. I'm sorry if this is a little lame. Thanks to Danielle and everybody who reviewed! And a special thanks to Fayth for the updating of 'Moving Ahead' Great job! And btw, I don't own, anything. Blabla.

"Fucking BITCH!" Mole moaned in pain, rubbing his throat.

Once again, he found himself pinned to the wall. This time it was even more painful since this X-5 lifted him by his neck and slammed him to the wall, over and over again.

"Don't ever, ever call her that." Alec's voice was cold and sent shivers down the other transgenics necks.

Alec was out of the door before Mole hit the floor again.

Max blurred down the streets of TC. She didn't know why, she didn't know what she was doing or why she had reacted like that in HQ but one thing she knew. She was caught. All she could see was walls and fences. Whatever direction she turned the fences blocked her way.

Like another cage, a long time ago. Lost, destroyed but never forgotten.

Like she had done twice in the past, like she had escaped Manticore not once but twice, she leapt over the fence in one swift jump.

Alec was barely out of HQ when he ran into a blurring body. When he had calmed down enough he recognized a young X6 female, probably about 15 years old. She looked panicked.

"Sir! Sir, she... she... I couldn't..." She gasped for air. "Solider! Get a grip of yourself!" said Alec with his best commander voice. It worked; the X6 took a deep breath and tried to pull herself together.

"Sir! On 452's order I was positioned as a guard of the west flank of Terminal City when 452 herself came blurring down the street and jumped the fence sir! She took out, probably killed the sector police on the other side sir!" she saluted.

"What the hell... no!" Alec suddenly realized what Max was about to do. 'Oh my god... No!'

She was leaving TC and she could get herself killed! The streets were full of anti-mutants crowds and Max's face had been all over the news.

"Tell Mole and Dix they are in charge for a while."

The kid saluted again, trained not to question orders.

It was only one thought in Alec's mind. 'I have to find her'

When Alec climbed out of the sewers, out of the secret passage to TC Max was sitting in a stolen car, heading out of Seattle. She still didn't know what the hell she was doing. When she had jumped over the fence and killed the police the realization of her actions finally hit her with full force. It also brought one thought to her mind 'Out of Seattle. Now!'

She drove the black cab she had picked up on the street past the sign with the words 'You are now leaving Seattle'

'What the hell am I doing?'
________________________ The Head Quarters were almost empty cause nobody wanted to be around Mole when he came out from the condition of shock he was in and suddenly realized what had happened.

Unfortunately for the reporting X6, that was exactly what was about to happen.

"Somebody gonna FUCKING DIE for this!" he yelled.

The X6 knocked on the door.

"I suppose it will be you!" Mole opened the door and punched the female soldier over her left eye, knocking her out completely.

'Where would Maxie go if she was scared, confused and angry?' Alec thought. Joshua's old place where Logan now lived? Not a chance in the world, Max wasn't too happy with Logan at all. The apartment she had shared with OC? No, Max wouldn't risk OC's safety. The space needle? Maybe.

But somehow, maybe it was the weird connection between him and Max, he knew she wasn't going to the Needle.

No, Max was leaving Seattle.
