Yay new chapter for everyone! Thank you all for the reviews. You are all very loved. I wanted to do this chapter as soon as I could so everyone can learn more about my mysterious Cutter.

This chapter is going to consist mostly in 'the Clinic' so there's not a lotta Maxie and the gang, but they do make an appearance. Oh yeah and if this chapter seems a bit…off, I'm blaming it on the fact that I gave blood today. Yay me. Here it is yall.

Ocean Blue Depths

Rei's P.O.V.

I winched a bit as I laid back down after the white haired boy had said his name. He looked concerned for me, thought I'm not sure why and asked if I was okay, but I nodded my head anyway. I noticed that he was wearing the same pajama like white uniform that I was, but his had a barcode on the end of his right sleeve. He seemed to look a little bit nervous and he ran his fingers over the barcode while staring at the ground.

His hair blended into the background of the room almost perfectly, it was short and sticking up in all sorts of odd directions. I hadn't noticed this until I got a good look at him from my place on the floor, but his eyes seemed almost a faded green.

I was beginning to think that maybe this place magically sucked the color out of anything that happens to step inside this hellhole. Maybe my hair to would soon turn white, and my eyes as well. He seemed already half way there. I must have been staring really bad or just giving him a weird look because he soon started to blush a bit and look away, still rubbing the barcode on his long sleeve almost compulsively.

" Do you know why you're here um, Rei?" he must not have been able to take the silence anymore. I found my throat to be feeling a bit better now, so I propped myself up against the metal door of the small room and faced towards the strange boy.

"Actually no, this is the first time since I got here that I've seen anyone other than doctors." He didn't seem all that shocked. He just nodded and looked to the floor again.

"Umm, are you feeling okay? I know they drugged you, your not still dizzy are you?" he asked in a strangely caring fashion. I just smirked a bit and told him I was fine, but his worried expression never left him. He didn't seem like much of a talker so I thought it would be easier for us if I asked him what we were thinking.

" Cutter, do you know what this place is exactly? He nodded but just looked to the floor again while rubbing the barcode on his sleeve. It took a minute but he finally decided to reply.

"This is a place that they take people to with rare diseases or disorders. They experiment on us to the can make a cure or something to these ailments. I've been stuck with a couple people before, but not for very long. I think they do this to see how we react to other people." He gave a sigh and sat down cross-legged a few feet in front of me

"How do you know all this, Cutter?" I asked looking a little more than puzzled I'm sure. He just fidgeted with the barcode once again and looked about the room while he answered. "Well I got some information from the others I've been stuck with, but mostly just observation on my part."

"What do you mean observation?" I haven't seen anything in this place worth observing, not that I've tried really, but still. "When they take me to the other room to get the shots, I look at the bottles they take the medicine from, I was studying to be a doctor so I'm aware of some of the things they're using on us."

To say I looked shocked was an understatement, I could believe that a place like this would have no problem taking some orphan here to study. But a kid studying to become a doctor, with a family no doubt just surprised me a little.

"So then what are the things they keep injecting us with?" he tried to give me a small smile, he most likely saw how worried I looked. "Just tranquilizers and med's to enhance a persons brainwave patterns so their graphs come out better. Nothing that can really harm you Rei, so try not to worry."

I did. How could I not worry when I'm trapped in a foreign place without Max or the gang. I pulled my knees up to my chest and stared at the white floor for a while. Cutter shifted around a bit and looked to be thinking as well, he never let go of that barcode for more than a few seconds the whole time we were talking.

I think I'll take a little cat nap, I'm pretty tired now this is the most human interaction I've had in a while.

At the House

Max at on the loveseat next to the couch and plush chair that surrounded the small coffee table in the center of the room, he was listening to the others talk about this and that not really paying attention.

He managed a small smile a while ago when Tyson decided to get Hilary mad enough to chase him screaming how she was going to kill him with the fuzzy end of her toothbrush. Tyson tried to hide behind Kai, but he just shoved Tyson to the growling girl so she could jump o him and beat him down a few pegs.

Kai pulled the blonde aside a little later to ask if Tyson had mentioned anything about ink. With a worried look to Tyson, Kai explained to the blonde that Tyson was in fact in his normal mindset, and not to worry about him going insane. This made Max feel a little bit better, but it also worried him that Tyson could think things like that with a clear mind.

Trying to keep a clear mind himself didn't seem to be going all to well with the blonde, all his thoughts kept drifting off back to Rei. Those thoughts made Max's eyes water a little and he had to hide his face so the others wouldn't worry.

Surprisingly Tyson was the one who noticed Max's change of moods. So he did what he thought anyone who was sad would want. He got up and dragged the blonde out of the room, after closing the door and leaving the rest of the occupants a little confused. He didn't stop until they were outside in the rain and then he gave Max the biggest hug he could manage. He knew Max loved the rain, he had told him that when the blonde still talked.

So he figured this would be nice for the blonde boy. Just to sit outside a bit with a friend who loves him, in his favorite weather would make anyone a bit happier. And it did, Max felt a lot better actually. The realization that he had a great friend that he could trust with his life was still here, and along with the rest of his new found family, made the blonde give his first real smile since Rei left.

He returned Tyson's hug and gave the boy a small "Thank you Ty." The bluenette pulled away and gave the blonde a big smile with a little victory pose. "No problem Maxie! Its what I'm here for. Now come on inside before we both catch colds." Said the bluenette as he ran to the stairs leading to the back door of the house.

Max stood there a second and tilted his head to the sky and closed his eyes. He knew that even though Rei was gone, he wasn't even close to being alone like before. He still had his best friend and new family with him, and his Mom and Richie to look over him.

Rei's P.O.V.

I suddenly got jarred out of my nap when I felt the icy-cold tiles slam into my face. I know that I couldn't have just fallen over, it was like someone pushed me. That when I realized that Cutter was leaning over me again and had that same concerned look of his. The side of my face hurt a lot, but I decided I was still to weak and tired to move.

I was now in the middle of the room lying on my stomach, and the door had been opened? That must be why I fell so hard, I was leaning on the door when I went to sleep. Cutter was still talking to me thought I couldn't seem to hear him at the moment. He crawled next to me and was looking at something near the door with a disgusted look.

It was them, those sick creepy doctors that always stood there no doubt smirking evilly behind those paper masks they wore. They advanced upon him and grabbed his arms, there were 3 doctors total. I wondered why seeing as only one doctor came to get me. But I saw him fight back, as they raised him off the floor he kicked the third doctor in the face and he fell back. The other two reacted quickly and went to control him. But as one leaned down a bit to catch his leg, he used his other knee to effectively knee him in the face as well.

The third seemed to all but drop him to the floor and run out of the room then slamming the metal door shut. Cuter crawled over to the two fallen doctors and searched their coats. He pulled out a card of some sort and smiled a bit as he eyed it more closely. "Perfect." Was the only thing that escaped his lips.

He crawled back over to me and looked down at me again with worry. I could hear him now as he spoke "Rei, I'm going to let you carry this okay? This card is going to get us out of here I promise. They're going to come back for me in a second, and also to take care of your head. You hit it pretty hard when you fell, so it's bleeding a bit. But you'll be fine, just trust me." He winked as he said the last three words.

4 doctors came through the door a second later and while two carried out the fallen ones, the other two eyes Cutter with disgust. The first rushed forward enough for him to duck out of the way and come up in front of the doc. Apparently their used to such things with him because the doctor then held him steady while the other came forward and shot cutter in the neck with a lime green liquid.

It took a couple seconds later for Cutter to completely lose consciousness. But the doctor dropped him as soon as he was out and kicked him in the stomach from annoyance. Yeah like that does a while lot of good when he's not conscious, idiot doctors. Cutter was being carried out when another doctor came in with a first aid kit.

His cold hands lifted my head off the floor after turning me on my back. His hands were cold, just like the rest of them. He cleaned the small cut on my forehead and put a butterfly stitch on it. He shown a flashlight in my eyes for a second and then nodded He let me go and left as swiftly as he came in.

I hope Cutter's alright, I wonder if he does that every time they try and take him. Even if he doesn't, I give him credit for taking out two of those guys.
