Chapter 5: Past and future

Motel room

When Max woke up she found that the bed was empty…it was just her. She sat up looking to see if Alec was in the room and when she saw he wasn't she strained her hearing to see if she could hear him…again nothing. Max got up out of bed and walked to the window with the sheet wrapped around her body. When she looked out the window she saw that his bike was gone.

"I am gonna kick his ass," Max mumbled to herself as she searched for her clothes. Upon finding them she quickly got dressed and went into the room that she was supposed to be sharing with OC. When she walked in she grabbed her keys and headed out. But before she closed the door completely she took on last look at her best friend hoping that it would not be the last time she saw her.

She walked out into the parking lot and got on her bike. "He is so dead," Max, said to herself on last time before starting the bike and taking off.

Somewhere in Seattle

Sketchy was sitting in a oversized air chair when Destry walked trough the door. Destry gave Sketchy a look that asked why he was here. "Don't worry dude, neither one of them is around because they are to busy looking for their kid. So there is no need for me to go to work…not with the money I am getting from you." Sketchy paused. "By the way you never told me what Sam did to make you so mad that you would want to take her son." Even though it is Max's son and you think it is Sam's. And when I try to tell you that your wrong you get all mad…I can't wait to your realize how wrong you are.

Destry looked over at Sketchy and frowned. "It was about three or four years ago." He paused. "It was before I decided to become a priest. My wife and I had just moved into to town and it was my first day at work." He paused as he thought about the day he first met the X5. "She came by the shop looking for something…I don't remember what. But when she found it I checked her out at the cash register and she left." He lowered his head.

"And?"

"Well when I left that night I thought someone was following me or something…but I just chalked it up to nerves and thought nothing of it. I went home and my wife had everything prepared and I was just getting ready to eat when Sam came bursting through my front door. She withdrew her gun and shot my wife dead square in the middle of the head and then when she hit the floor Sam put a bullet in her stomach and killed my unborn child." He paused as a tear ran done his cheek. "The last thing I heard as she walked out the door was "Mission accomplished."

"Damn man that sucks," Sketchy said not really knowing what else to say. "But I am telling you that the women who's son you took is not Sam…her name is Max." Sketchy said.

"No! Max saved my life and I know she would never let a killer father her child." He said. "She would never let that happen. And Ben is a killer."

"His name isn't Ben…it's Alec." Sketchy said.

"No!" Destry said to blinded by revenge to see things clearly.

Cabin in the woods

Alec parked his bike outside the cabin, behind some bushes. "Looks like a good place to rest for the night." Alec said as he walked into the cabin. "Nice and cozy." He said as he walked around the small area. Then he plopped down on the couch and looked at the ceiling. "Nice way to leave your girlfriend, the mother of your child…just leave her there as if she was just another one of you one-night stands." Alec said to himself.

"Yeah but she knows better than to think that," a voice said from behind him.

"How did you find me this time?" he asked not even turning around.

"I know your scent idiot…you could never hide from me." She said as she walked over and sat on the couch beside Alec. They sat in silence before Max spoke up. "You know I think we are going the wrong way…something in me says that Jace is back in the city." Max said.

"Yeah I have that feeling too…but I was trying to get you off my tail." He said with a smile. "I guess it isn't going to work."

"Nope."

"We should come out here more often Maxie…it is beautiful out here." He said as he turned to look at her. "It is a perfect place to raise our son…and it isn't that far from the city." He said.

"Are you saying what I think your saying?" Max asked.

"Yeah…I guess I am." He paused and looked back up at the ceiling. "If and when we get Jace back…let's move out here. There is a lot of land and we could set up our own little town." He said. "Get everyone out of TC." He added.

The only answer he got was silence. They sat there in silence again for awhile before Max broke it. "Let's go get our son." She said. They would figure out the rest of their future plans tomorrow or even at a later time…right now they need to find their son…so they could start on those plans.

A/N: I hope you liked it. Destry's past with Sam happen before she went on her solo mission…it was her test to see if she could go on a solo mission or not…hopefully I will explain it in later chapters.
