Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Dark Angel characters. They belong to James Cameron, Charles Eglee, and Fox. But Mackenzie, Benjamin and any other characters you are not familiar with are mine.

AN: Well here's chapter six. And before I forget, do you guys want me to write a prequel to this fic? I already asked that once, but no one said anything. But anyway, on with the fic. Hope you enjoy.

The lights were off, and everyone was asleep. Everything seemed to be in order, and then she heard it, the sound of someone on the roof, and hoped she was hearing things. Mackenzie walked to Benjamin's room, and there little Benjamin was asleep. She then headed towards Max and Logan's room, but before she got there someone pulled her into the kitchen, clamping their hand over her mouth.

Mackenzie's heart practically stopped. Had she been seen when she had come in? Bitting down on the hand that was covering her mouth, she pushed away from her assailant, and took a fighting stance. "My god Kenzie you've got sharp teeth," her assailant whispered.

Mackenzie's jaw dropped when she saw Benjamin standing there, now inspecting his hand. She was instantly at his side, looking at his hand. "I'm so sorry Benji." she replied in a whisper.

"Sure you are."

"I didn't know it was you. What are you doing here anyway?"

"I could ask you the same thing."

"When I left you were asleep."

"I wasn't asleep. You really think I'd be asleep on the night my father is killed?"

"No... its just I left and you looked like you were asleep."

"I was faking it. I was waiting till you were asleep, so that I could come here. But I guess your plan was the same as mine."

"Why didn't you just tell me you were planning on doing this?"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Benjamin shot back.

"I keep asking the wrong questions don't I?"

"Yea."

"Ok. So I guess we come up with a new plan. And fast." Mackenzie stated. "Wait I got it."

"Already?"

"Yes. And be quiet."

"What is it? And why should I be quiet."

"Wait around till whoever was on the roof comes in here. And you don't want to wake up someone right now, we'll be asked to many questions."

"Great plan. But wouldn't it be better if they woke up?"

"It'll work. Them waking up wouldn't necessarily be better, 'cause if whoever killed your dad heard them up, he might come back some other time."

"Good point. But I don't agree with your plan."

"Fine then come up with something better."

"One of us goes up to the roof, to see if whoever was up there before is still up there. One of us stays here, and makes sure no one gets into the apartment."

"Wait. I just realized something."

"What?"

"You're dad was found in the kitchen, by your mom. That means he must of got up sometime during the night, and that's when whoever killed him, did."

"So..."

"We both stay here and wait for that to happen."

"For my dad to wake up? Or the person attacks?"

"For your dad to wake up."

"And what do you suggest we do while we wait?"

"Keep a look out. Make sure no one gets in."

"I'm not gonna just sit around and wait, Mackenzie."

"Fine go up to the roof, and see if mystery man is up there. I'll wait around here." She watched as Benjamin nodded and silently left the apartment. 'Ok, go the long way,' Mackenzie thought. 'Could of used the skylight, would of been up there faster.'

As she soundlessly walked through the apartment, she tried to think of ways the mystery man, who killed Logan, could of got in. She looked at the door, it could be a possibility that was how he got in, but she dismissed the idea quickly, it just didn't seem right.

There was also the skylight, but it was in the middle of the apartment. He most likely would of wanted to stay hidden until he saw his target, and be able to make a quick exit.

That's when it hit her, Benjamin's room. There was a fire escape outside the window, something Mackenzie remembered using many times when she was younger to visit him at night. She quickly turned around, and as she did so she saw a shadow move past the small opening of the door.

Her heart had almost stopped for the second time that day. How long at this guy been in there for? Was the only question that was running through her mind now. Slowly she walked towards Benjamin's room, she was about to push the door open further when Max and Logan's bedroom door opened.

She watched as Logan walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him. Logan looked up to see her, Mackenzie brought a finger to her lips, telling him to not make a sound. Logan's eyes questioned her, and all she did was smile at him weakly, and gave a small wave. Logan advanced towards Mackenzie, she shook her head, and gestured him to stay away from the door.

She slowly backed away from Benjamin's room, trying to stay away from the small opening in the door, she just hoped Logan would get the hint that there was trouble. Mackenzie just couldn't understand how little Benjamin wasn't waking up with someone in his room, it was then she came to the conclusion whoever it was had to be a transgenic, or a familiar.

Looking over her shoulder for a brief second she saw Benjamin quietly walk back into the apartment, shaking his head. She gestured to the bedroom, as she did so she looked back at the door, and saw movement at the small opening, and heard a rustling sound. Little Benjamin must of been waking up. Which meant, Mackenzie and Benjamin must have now altered the time, now all they had to do was prevent Logan from getting killed, and this mystery man from getting away.

Mackenzie looked over at Logan again, this time noticing he looked confused. Once again he started to walk towards her, this time watching Benjamin's bedroom door, she watched the door as well, and could feel Benjamin doing so as well. As Logan walked closer she noticed even more movement at the crack in the door, and then she saw it. The barrel of a gun, and someone's face. 'Why didn't I just go in there?' She asked herself, moving forward.

"Logan get back," she said pushing him, as everything began to go slow around her, and she heard the sound of a gun going off. Mackenzie began to think she had messed up and that Logan had been shot, until she felt pain in her abdomen, and noticed she was right in front of the opening in the door.

"Mackenzie!" she heard Benjamin yell, and his feet moving towards her.

"Mystery man. Don't let him get away." Mackenzie managed to say ignoring the pain, and trying to get up. "We can't afford him getting away."

Benjamin kicked the door, and they heard it hit someone or something. Mackenzie watched as Benjamin disappeared into the bedroom. "You didn't have to kick it." Logan called after him, as he kneeled beside Mackenzie and looked at the bullet wound, she had managed to acquire. "We got to get you to the infirmary in TC."

Max and Logan's bedroom door opened again, and Max appeared in the door frame. Mackenzie knew the sound of the gun had woken her up, it had in what her future had been, but Max had been to late, the guy had already disappeared, Logan was already close to being gone, and they hadn't managed to get him to Terminal City in time. "What happened?" Max questioned as she saw the scene before her.

"Max get me something to stop the bleeding." Logan said in reply.

Max hurried into the kitchen and grabbed the towel that was sitting on the counter. She threw it towards Logan as she picked up the phone, which wasn't far away, to call TC. Mackenzie heard Max's brief call, and saw her come towards her from the corner of her eye.

Mackenzie looked down at her now blood stained shirt. She heard a thud come from Benjamin's room, and Benjamin say, "Who the hell do you work for?" Once again she tried to get up, but her body, Max, and Logan wouldn't let her.

She saw Benjamin come out of the room pushing a man in front of him, before her world went back.

AN: Wow I didn't think I'd ever finish this chapter. I kept rewriting it over and over again, 'cause I didn't like how it went. I still don't like it. But owell. Next chapter will hopefully be up some time next week.

arwen-amy- I like the word wow. Wow is a very good word...lol.

Newly Human- You weren't the only one to think Max was Mackenzie's mom. I guess I'm good at leading peoples thoughts in the wrong direction. lol. One thing I'll tell you about Mackenzie's mom is, she is a new character that you haven't met yet (thought I'd tell you since you guess, lol) But you're going to have to wait to learn more about her.

nelita- I'm sorry I'll try not to leave another cliff hanger. lol.

Katherine- Yes, your list of questions has gotten long, but I love 'em. lol. Everyone has asked who killed Logan and why. Hope this chapter answered that for you.

walzywoo- At 3:30am rational thought isn't a problem, well for me anyway. At 4:30am it becomes a problem. lol.
