a/n: Okay yes Im back and im finishing the story. This used to be called Back, so you might have already read the early chapters already (but they're better, cause now i can actually write). Ive gone through everything and im sorry, but you're gonna have to put up with some minor corn and a little amature writing in the first 3 or 4 chapters cause i wrote this like literally 2 years ago. But it should be worth it cause its gonna get juicy, and i editted everything. Have fun with whats here now, and this time when i say im gonna finish im serious, i dont know how the endings gonna turn out though cause at this point im not too fond of Logan, but i havnt thought of anything i like better...itll be good though i promise, i also promise the heat will get much worse (especially since the heat fic has been done so many times, you might find this a little more..shall we say dramatic? maybe thats not the right word, watever read and find out) Reveiws are much appreciated, and they make your author happy. (i just referred to myself as an author, im such a douche)
BACK
(picture this scene with fast music pls)
Manticore, 12:48PM
"You ready?" asked Brin.
"Let's do it," said Max.
As Brin led Max into the containment room she slipped her the key to the cuffs holding her hands together. They had been a little more trusting of Max since she stopped yelling out profanity every time they told her to do something and resisting them with every chance she got. That was her plan and they fell for it. She was now in a small metal room and instead of being strapped to a metal table like before, she only had handcuffs to hold her back. There was also only one door out now with a keycard lock on both the inside and out so the guards could unlock the door when they were inside with her. Brin had switched the stuff they planned on drugging Max with to tryptophan, so that wouldn't be a problem.
As Brin walked down the hall she smiled -Its go time- she thought. She rounded the corner and turned on her charm to the superior officer standing at his post.
"Hey..." she said in her sexiest voice, smiling seductively and pretending to survey him approvingly, "you willin' ta take a break"
The man looked up and smiled when he saw Brin.
"I'm not supposed to leave my post until 1:00" he replied as he looked her up and down and his smile spread.
"You sure you can't make an exception fur me, i was planning on showing you a good time." She said twisting her body.
"For you I'm sure i can sugar"
"Lucky me." Rolling her eyes behind his back Brin pulled him into the closet they were standing next to, kneed him in the stomach and twisted his neck. Dusting her hands off as she walked out of the closet with a smile on her face she looked down at the key-card in her hand. "Men." She muttered as she walked down the hall as if nothing had happened. She then slipped the key card through a vent in the wall of the hallway with out slowing her pace.
Max undid her handcuffs and stood with her back against the wall, careful not to show her freed hands until the key card slipped through the vent behind her and right into her open palm. She then walked up to the video camera in the corner of the room. On the surveillance screen the guard saw Max smile into the lens before she kicked it out and it went static. Running to the door she quickly swiped the key card and headed away from the sound of soldiers racing towards the room. She knocked out an unsuspecting guard, picked up his radio and switched it to a secure channel. "You in"
"Read'ja loud n' clear sis,'" came back Brin's voice. "You on you're mark"
"Takin' him out as we speak." Said Max as she knocked out a young guard standing in front of the control room. She smiled as she found the guard inside asleep in his chair. Tapping him on the shoulder she punched him out as he turned around to see what was going on.
"Third button on the left," said Brin.
"Ya' know I woulda figured that out." Max said as she tapped a couple things in the control keyboard and pressed the button.
"Just tryin ta make ur job a little easyier." Said Brin "Whatever." Max said with a small smile.
"What are you doing?" asked Brin.
"Leavin our friends here a little surprise." She said as she finished typing something and pressed enter. She sat back in her chair for a second admiring the chaos she had just caused on the other side of the building through some surveillance cameras.
"Nice work." Said Brin as a grouped of X6s rushed by her in the opposite direction "Thanks." She said as she walked out of the control room. "See ya in ten"
"Right." said Brin and they both switch off their radios. Max took out another guard and hurried past a turn in the hallway. She then had to duck behind a corner to avoid being seen.
After ten minutes of winding through the hallways they each walked out of a separate turn in a fork in the corridor, exchanged a sarcastic high-five and started down the hall side by side. "Hey, what took you so long?" Brin nagged. Max just gave her a glare but managed to still have a small smile on her face. Brin then she caulked a semi-automatic she was carrying and held another out for Max.
"I don't do guns"
"Right, the morally sacred killing machine would rather do it with her bare hands." Brin rolled her eyes, throwing the gun off to the side.
When they reached the end of the hallway, instead of turning and continuing to follow it they both lepted through the window in front of them and rolled to a stop on top of a roof on the third level.
They then flattened against a wall and Brin looked around the corner. Giving the signal for the clear they both began to run then jumped down into the back of a moving hummer. As it reached the edge of the fence and passed security they hopped out the back without being seen and began running in the dark through the woods.
4 Days Latter, Seattle, Washington 10PM
Brin pulled up in front of the Foggle Towers with an antsy Max in the passenger seat. She looked over at Max and let out a small laugh.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
"Its just... what if he has a girlfriend -or a wife.. for all I know he could have moved or something...I mean it has been almost a year..." she stuttered.
"I don't get it, you make such a big deal outta this, then you worry your ass off about seeing him. I mean its not like he moved to Alaska, changed his name, and married some Eskimo." Brin said.
"How do you know." Mumbled Max.
Brin was starting to get annoyed but she was still keeping good humor.
"Look, you're the one who knows him, besides don't you wanna' see him"
"Of course I wanna see h"
"Then getch ur ass outta this car, haul it up there and getchur man before I make you"
Max smiled at her remark and opened the car door.
-finally- thought Brin.
"Ill be at Crash." she said.
"Well your gonna be there a pretty long time." Max stated under her breath. Brin shook her head with a smile then floored it as soon as the door was closed.
Max looked up at the Foggle Towers, sighed, and started to walk in.
Logan's Apartment: the sun is setting
Logan sat in his bed and awoke when he heard his bedroom door unlatch. His eyes widened and thoughts raced through his head, -assasin, loose end from last night's field work, manticore-
He sat up as the dark figure stepped into the light of the window.
"Max?" he said in astonishment. She was dressed in her black catsuit and standing in the dim orange glow that the setting sun gave off.
Logan stood up and raced toward her taking her in an embrace. They fell into a passionate kiss and the next thing he knew she had pushed him backwards on the bed.
She hovered over him for a second straddling his waste with a sly smile on her face and then began to lick his bare chest.
"Max..what are you..." his voice trailed off.
She was hastily moving up his neck. When she reached his ear Logan got a confused expression on his face,
"Max what.." As Max looked at him and barked loudly Logan's eyebrows went up in an amused expression, then he woke up.
Logan's Apartment, reality, 4:58AM
"Argh, Buzz..g-get off." Logan's Jack Russell stopped licking his face long enough to yelp.
"What?" The dog barked again then darted off his bed and out of Logan's room. Logan barely had time to wipe his face before the dog hopped back on the bed with a leather leash clenched in-between his teeth, Buzz then barked again as well as he could without dropping it.
"It's 5:00 in the morning." Logan stated looking the dog straight in the eye. Buzz just stared back at him and gave off another muffled bark.
"Fine." Sighed Logan as he began to push himself out of bed and get a shirt.
Modern Looking Crowded Newspaper Building, 9:30AM
Logan sat in a swivel-chair in front of a red I-Mac with his head rested on his arm and papers scattered across his desk, and he began to drift off. He had earned himself a nice office on the second floor, which was really just a kind-of wide catwalk that overlooked the rest of the building, and had about 5 other offices on it who's front walls were all made out of foggy glass.
Suddenly someone slapped his back and he jumped out of his trance.
"Hey, sleepyhead wake up! Why do you get to sleep while we're off shitting out articles"
Logan groaned in response to the female voice and sat up half heartedly.
"Sorry Gale, I uh didnt get much sleep last night." He said as he turned around to face the good looking blonde who was his coworker.
"Well just dont be snoozin when the boss is around, we wouldnt want you to have to sit through another one of his loud, boring lectures, specially when you're already tired"
"Yeah, right I'll do that." He said wearily.
"Jesus Cale how much sleep did you get last night"
"Huh, uh i dont know Buzz woke me up early and i was up late too"
"Well just dont fall asleep, I've gotta go finish this case... Oh yeah, here." She said slapping a folder of papers on his desk. "Our Eye's buddy found a lead on that government breading thing. John wants you to take a look at it, see what you can dig up"
"Yeah sure whatever." -why do i have to make things so damn hard on myself at work, maybe i should only report my Eye's Only stuff once a month or something-
"Oh and tonight your coming to Crash with me and Landen"
"Crash"
"Yeah Cale, it's a bar. With bear, oh and stools." She said sarcastically.
"I know Gale, I've been to Crash before"
"What when you were 18? Or was it in some messed alternate universe"
"Look i cant go tonight ok" he said ignoring her.
"Too bad I'm gonna make you. Seriously Logan you need to get out. Do you realize that in the 7 months I've known you I've only heard you laugh once"
"I've got my reasons, besides not tonight. I'll go tomorrow"
"Whyy?"she asked in an annoyed way.
"Personal reasons. I just cant come tonight.-Today was his and Max's second anniversary and he couldnt go out, he'd have to get drunk at home by himself instead-
"Oh Mr. Mysterious Logan, can't have fun so he's got to bury himself in his work." She joked.
He just looked at her.
"Argh, fine. But if you dont go tomorrow I'm gonna come over there and throw you out the window." She said as she headed out the door.
