Chapter 21 Run Ins
Max leaned against the phone booth tapping her fingers impatiently against the phone. She glanced around and didn't see that many people out considering it was really early in the morning. 'I hope he isn't asleep.' Max thought as she sighed.
"Hello?" She heard a all to familiar voice ask on the other end.
Max smiled slightly. "Hey Logan its me." Max said.
She could tell he was smiling through the phone. "Max wow it's good to hear your voice again. Are you still in Montana?" He asked.
Max sighed. "Yup." She answered. "We saw Zack last night." She told him.
Logan was silent for a moment. She raised an eyebrow as the silence grew. She was getting ready to speak when he cut her off. "Max I have to tell you something. Something about Zack." He said.
(Kellie's apartment)
"I'm not going home!" Kelsey yelled at Kellie.
Kellie glared at her little sister. "Kelsey you have too!" Kellie yelled at her.
"No I don't! You didn't!" Kelsey screamed at her.
Kellie rolled her eyes. "If you don't go home, mom's going to get the authority's up here and then your going to be dragged off and I'm going to be in deep trouble!" Kellie yelled at her.
Kelsey rolled her eyes this time. "Bull crap, mom wouldn't do that!" Kelsey yelled. Kellie gave her a disbelieving look. "Kellie you said I could stay with you." Kelsey said in a pleading voice.
Kellie looked at her little sister. "I know hun, but... Things have changed." Kellie said hoping she would understand.
Obviously she didn't because her eyes blazed with fire. "You just don't want me here!" Kelsey yelled and ran toward the door.
"Kelsey no! That's not it!" Kellie said running after her little sister. "Kelsey!" She said and stopped running. 'She'll calm down.' Kellie thought sadly as she walked into her apartment and closed the door.
She looked up and saw Adam standing there in nothing but a towel wrapped around his wet body. A goofy grin plastered her face as she allowed her eyes to wander over his body. "Not bad... Not bad at all." Kellie voiced her thoughts.
~A young Latino woman and a young blonde man leave his apartment and start climbing the building's stairs. Another blonde man's soldiers approach from below and from above. The young blonde man gives the Latino woman some hand signals. They split up and each of them start to fight a batch of soldiers, kicking and punching them unconscious despite their fired shots. "Not bad." The young blonde says The two young people exit the building through a side door onto a roof of the building. Soldiers approach. The Latino woman fends one off, and then she and the young blonde use a rope to swing to the roof of the next building. They then run to safety, away from the blonde man and his soldiers. Later, the Latino and the blonde walk through a railyard getting further away from danger. "How'd you find me?" The blond man asked.
"Vogelsang tipped me on your visit to the tattoo parlor. You killed him, didn't you?" The Latino woman asked.
"Lydecker was set up on him. You were walking into a trap." The blonde said referring to the blond man they just ran from
"You should have warned me, told me not to go." The Latino woman told him.
"Vogelsang knew too much." The blonde argued.
"You murdered an innocent man." The Latino woman exclaimed
"The night we all escaped, you put your lives in my hands. I've been looking out for you ever since. Every one of you. Vogelsang was weak. Lydecker would have gotten the information out of him. He would have hunted us down one by one, and I couldn't let that happen." The blonde man told her, his voice hard and icy like stone.
"So you traded one life for twelve, is that it?" The Latino woman asked him.
"I stand by my decision. It's not safe here. Lydecker's men will be combing the city. We have to leave tonight. I can get us to San Francisco, and we'll split up there." He explained to her.
"Split up? What are you talking about?" The Latino woman asked him. ~
"Adam, Adam hey snap out of it hun." Kellie said gently pulling him out of his reverie. He looked down at her, his eyes burning with hatred, anger, and something else. She gentle touched his cheek and looked at him in concern ready to go get his pills if he needed them.
"Lydecker." He ground out. Kellie looked at him with a confused expression.
"Who?" She asked.
"In my memory we were running from this man and his shoulders. I-I think I killed somebody so they wouldn't harm the people I was looking out for. I-I said I had been looking after them since the escape, and Lydecker was hunting us down. I said we should spilt up and I dunno." Adam said looking straight in her eyes.
Kellie was silent. "You said we?" She asked.
Adam looked at her expressionless for a second. "There was this girl I was with. A Latino girl." He told her.
Kellie didn't comment on anything. "How did you and the girl escape the soldiers?" She asked.
Adam frowned. "I fought them and won and then we got as far away from them as possible on foot." He said. Kellie raised an eyebrow and frowned. 'He fought soldiers?' She asked herself.
"You should go get dressed, and then rest a while. I don't want you to have a relapse." Kellie told him softly. Adam touched her cheek lightly before going into her bedroom to change into the spare clothes he had brought with him from the ranch. When he was finished getting dressed he walked back out to where Kellie would be and kissed her softly. Kellie pulled back and sighed. "I have to go find Kelsey."
Adam nodded his head. "You want help?" He asked her.
Kellie shook her head. "Naw, I have to find her and then we need to have a sisterly talk." Kellie shrugged. "I'll be back sometime later though." Kellie said walking away from him and slipping into her jacket. She turned and winked at him before walking out of her apartment.
(Max's hotel room)
The X-5 siblings all sat in Max, Syl, and Jondy's hotel room. Max had just told them everything that Logan had said about Zack and what was happening to him. Now there was silence. All were in there own thoughts, their own little world.
"So Zack has been having flashbacks all this time?" Zane asked, looking at Max.
Max looked at him and ran a hand through her dark hair. "Yea, that's what Logan said." Max said quietly. "And we have his girlfriend to think for it." Max said, uneasy about having Zack getting his memory back. She was afraid he would go after Logan again and she wouldn't be there to stop him.
Syl looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "You sound like you didn't want her to help him get his memory back."
Max looked at Syl and shrugged. "It's not that. What if he would have regained his memory, his complete memory and we didn't know about it. And then he went after Logan again. I wouldn't know about it so I could stop him. No one would know until it was too late, and I mean his girlfriend would know, but she couldn't do anything to stop him." Max explained.
Jondy rolled her eyes at her. "It's always Logan isn't it?" She asked irritated that her sister cared more about Logan then Zack at the moment. "God Max, Zack is your brother who would die for you, and all you can set here and do is worry about Logan." Jondy exclaimed.
"She has a point Max." Krit told her quietly.
Max looked at her siblings incredulously. She couldn't believe what they were sitting here saying. "Of course I'm worrying about Logan! I mean if Zack gets his memory back he could go on a fucking war path again and go straight for Logan! And then it would be all his girlfriends fault!" (If you haven't noticed I'm still irked at Max for what she did to Zack)
"For God sakes Max Zack is your brother! He died for you and all you can do is worry about Logan! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Syl screamed at her, getting fed up with how she was always thinking about Logan and not Zack. "Max I love you, you're my baby sister, but..." Syl trailed off not knowing what to say.
Max looked at her siblings, for getting up from the chair she was sitting at and storming out of the room. Her siblings made no move to stop her, they thought it wise if they let her cool down along with themselves.
"Well that went well." Zane muttered and was whacked up side the head be Jondy.
(Outside)
Max wandered down the streets with her eyes downcast, looking at her shoes. She was annoyed with her siblings for what they had said to her. 'Of course I'm going to be worried about Logan, I mean I love him, we've been through a lot together.' Max thought. These thoughts plagued her mind as she continued to walk, she wanted to call Logan and talk to him. Max made up her mind and headed toward the payphone where she could call him. On her way she ran into somebody quite forcefully.
"Hey watch it." Max snapped and turned around to see the black haired barmaid looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
"If I remember correctly your the one that ran into me." Kellie pointed out calmly. "I wouldn't go around and accuse people of things when its your own fault." She said, annoyance breaking through her calm composure. Kellie then turned and continued to walk.
Max watched her leave and glared slightly at her back. 'Had it been my fault?' She asked herself and shook her head before turning to walk back to the phone. When she reached the phone she dialed Logan's number, but got no answer. She sighed in frustration and walked back the way she came. She didn't want to go back to the hotel room, but she didn't just want to stay out in the cold weather all day alone. Still in thought she ran into yet another person. She turned around to see who she had bumped into and was surprised to see Zack.
"Za-Adam." She caught herself from saying.
"Max." Zack said looking at her with a small smile. "Its good to see you again." He told her.
Max smiled softly at him. "Yea it is." An awkward silence formed between them. Max studied his face, memorizing it. She wondered if he was happy here, if he was curious about who he was. "Are you happy here?" She asked without thinking.
Zack gave her a funny look. "Sure why not. Why do you not like Montana or something?" He asked.
Max shrugged and looked away. "I miss home." She said quietly. Zack nodded his understanding.
"If you miss it so much then why are you here?" He asked her.
Max sighed. "Family issues." She said simple. Zack nodded his head in understanding. The awkward silence was back and this time it was Zack who studied Max's face. Something about her seemed so familiar, like he knew her but didn't. He couldn't deny that she was beautiful, but why did she seem so familiar to him. Before he could think of what he was doing he reached up and brushed a piece of hair away from her face. Max looked at him and their eyes locked. His blue ones met her deep brown ones. So familiar...
~ A young blond hair man brushes away a piece of dark hair away from the young Latino woman's face.
"You're going to miss him, aren't you?" The blond asks the young woman.
"You think that's stupid?" She asks him.
"No. A part of me wants the same things. Friends...a place where I belong...someone to care about." He tells her truthfully.
"Thought it was a sentimental lie." She points out.
"Even I have my moments of weakness." He tells her. ~
Zack snaps out of his reverie and pulls his hand back away from Max. He stares at her funny for a moment. Max looks at him, not sure what just happened. She studies his face for a moment, looking for any trace any clue that would give her a hint, but found nothing.
"I should go." Zack tells her, pulling his eyes away from her huge brown ones that were looking at him intently. Max nods slowly and takes a step back away from him. "I'll see you around Max." He says from over his shoulder as he turns and begins to walk away.
"Sure." Max calls out softly. She gives him one last look before turning and walking away, neither Zack nor Max noticing her feelings the intense stare coming from the sapphire eyes across the street.
