Disclaimer: Don't own Alec, Max, OC, Sketchy or Logan (yeah he had to be in this chapter) I apologise if I missed a character out of this list of people I don't own. I own nothing.

Rant: Max is now just about to start college and she has one good friend unfortunately some people followed her through her life and have come back but is it for good or for worse, your going to have to read to find out.

Author's Note: I hate the idea of the Barrisford Agenda because it causes problems for everything between Max and Alec so in this story it has and never will happen in this story!!



Once again X5-494 stood in front of Lydecker bored as usual awaiting orders for his next mission it was well known throughout Manticore that the rogue X5-452 had still not been recaptured and everybody knew that she couldn't be.

Unfortunately Lydecker didn't know this and he was still trying to find her. Not long after she was expelled from school her foster parents changed leaving Lydecker once again at square one. Apart form one thing, she never changed her name just incase her brothers or sisters needed to find her. Lydecker had found her name in a list of new students attending the University of Seattle. Of course as soon as he found out he had placed one of his best in there to retrieve her, though now that he looked at 494 entering his room he had changed is mind.

'You called for me sir' 494 announced his presence in the room. 'Yes 494, I have another mission for you.' Just because he had changed his mind he couldn't change it now all the details were arranged. 494 was silent awaiting the briefing

An hour later Lydecker was repeating himself for the fifth time unaware he was doing so. '494 are you clear on what must be done' 'Yes sir, bring in the '09 escapee' *I'm not stupid* he thought to himself 'Any Questions 494?' 'Yes Sir, Which rogue?' In his head he was laughing so hard he should be crying. 'I thought I said.Her designation is X5-452 a.k.a Max' 'Max' 494 whispered to himself so quietly that Lydecker didn't hear as he was once again going through the mission details again! Momentarily forgetting that transgenics had photographic memories. 'Your mission name will be A..'

University Of Seattle

Alec.

She still didn't know how she managed it but once again her thoughts were back to the guy who was sent to kill her but didn't she still couldn't remember what happened. She remembered leaving the school grounds after finding out who he really was they went into an alley and he told her everything about his mission and he just left. without a word. This was the part that confused her the most he knew the consequences and he went without her, next time she saw him she would have to thank him somehow that was if she saw him agai.

'Oof' Her thoughts were interrupted.

Lying on the field in front of the school then seemed a worse idea than how it had started off as. Some guy had tripped over her legs and his books fell out in front of him as he descended towards the ground. 'Nice ass' Her friend, Courtney whispered to Max as he scrambled to pick up his books which gave them both a very nice view of his butt. Max couldn't help but smile at his remark

Her smile faded as he turned around to reveal the most gorgeous guy she had ever seen who mumbled an apology then turned to walk off.

He hadn't move more than a step away before a familiar though curious voice said his name from behind.
