1 Chapter 8
Alec shook uncontrollably, thanks to his wound, the shakes had come with it. Max, scared, helped him up. He was awake, just out of it and shaking. Max led Alec for half a block back to base camp, but had to stop because he was shaking so much.

Meanwhile, Blade had returned to his room where Rowan had been dosing, he was laying on the bed went he got a gut feeling that something was really wrong. Rowan was about to kiss him when he sat up abruptly.
"What's wrong Blade?" Rowan asked, concerned.
"It's Alec." He said simply and got up from the bed and pulled his shirt back on.
-Alec?- …Blade got no answer. He was getting real worried. He headed out the door when his cell phone rang. Confused, because Rowan was the only one with his number or so he thought. He flipped it open. "What?"
"It's Alec," came Max's voice.
"Where are you?"
"Corner of Main and Prince."
"I'll be there in a sec." Blade told her.
"He's got the shakes, Blade…" Max paused, to swallow the bulge that had formed in her throat, "They're real bad."
"I'll bring some pills for him." He said and flipped the phone closed. He went out the door and ran down the streets. He could slightly feel the weakness coming from Alec. Probably his bullet wound, he concluded.
Max saw Blade come down the street, she waved at him and he came towards her. He looked down at Alec who was looking up sheepishly, but looking into his eyes he could see the pain. Jeez, he thought, -You OK?-
-huh-
-brought you some pills- he thought and passed them to Alec, who opened the bottle and downed the hole thing. Max could only role her eyes. She knew that she had over reacted, but, hell, what's are girl to do?
Blade looked at Max and knew that she had somewhat reacted, but he knew he had too. Hell, they were genetically enhanced soldiers for crying out loud.
Blade put his hand out and pulled Alec up. When he looked down at where he had been sitting he saw the patch of blood. Blade's eyes quickly went to Alec's. –Alec?-
Alec looked at him. –Don't let her see.-
-Whatever.- Blade said, it's not like Max couldn't handle the blood, but the fact that it came from Alec.
Max looked from brother to brother. They both had the perplexed look on their face but he thoughts went kinky when Alec looked her in the eyes.
Alec winked.
