I'll take care of you
Max and Zack are in a small wooden cabin in the middle of no where hiding from lydecker. They stayed there the night and are leaving for Canada.
Max was the first to wake up the next morning, she got up without waking Zack up. She grabbed a spare blanket, walked out into the fresh air leaving the door slightly open behind her and sat down on the steps and listened to the birds singing.
Zack woke up and when he realised Max wasn't there he wrapped the blanket round him, standing up.
"Max" He called out looking around him and his gaze fell upon the door.
He got up and walked towards the door opening it slightly.
"Good morning. Maxie" he said smiling. He kissed her on the forehead and sat down next to her, he placed his hand around her waist and Max rested her head on his shoulder.
"Morning, thanks for helping last night" Max says smiling
"No problem, how are you feeling today?" Zack asked
"I better thanks" "so when are we leaving?" she added with a smile
"As soon as possible, If your up for it" Zack answered
"Of course, Lets go" Max replied
They stood up and headed into the cabin. Max went to refuel both her and Zack's ninja's and covered them back up with a large piece of material. While Zack was gathering his belongings.
"Hey Maxie, do you want bottles of water or irn – bru for the journey?" Zack asked as she entered the room
"One of each please, right that's them filled up, now I'm going to gather my things" Max answered smiling
"ok you jackets on the back of the couch don't forget it" Zack finished packing his rucksack, he closed it and left it sitting on the kitchen work top. Zack walked over to the door and picked up his jacket. A head suddenly popped up at the window, a man wearing black and white camouflaged trousers, white top and holding a rifle… it was one of Lydecker's men. He has found Max and Zack, Zack opened the door and in one quick movement broke the soldier's neck and pulled him inside and locked the door.
He through on his jacket leaned over the worktop in the kitchen and grabbed his rucksack and chucked it over his shoulder and onto his back. He blurred into the bedroom and silently closed the door behind him.
Just as Max leaned over the bed and moved the curtain a little so she could see outside and she used her heightened sense of vision to zoom into the nearby trees to see soldiers hiding.
Zack realised Max hadn't sensed him enter the room, he reached out to her using one hand to cover her mouth and the other to stop her from trying to hit him. As soon as his hand covered her mouth she tensed up and tried to break free by elbowing Zack in the ribs but he turned his head around to face her.
Whispered in her ear low enough that only and X5 could hear "Lydecker and his men are here, we have to go. Are you ready?" He then realised her.
"Yes, lets get outa here. How many soldiers are there?" she asked while putting her jacket on.
"Too many, lets head out the back door, onto the ninja's and head straight to Canada" Zack answered
Max says putting her rucksack on "Come on there doesn't seem to be that many, we can handle them"
Zack gave her a caring look and said "No, you can't afford to get hurt your still recovering. I don't want anything to happen to you ok, stay close"
BANG! BANG! BANG! Went the front door. Max and Zack nodded at each other as a sign to go. As they sneaked past room to room down the small hallway. There was a sudden thud and the soldiers came pouring in the door doing a quick search of every room for the two X5's but the X5's were outside by now.
Max and Zack ran around the cabin to get the ninja's. There was a few guards at the front of the cabin watching over the bikes but Zack carefully aimed the rifle at them and fired cause a rather loud noise which echoed around them.
"Max, come on lets go" Zack shouted over his shoulder as he walked towards the bikes. When Max didn't reply he knew something was wrong, he spun around to see a soldier stab Max in the stomach and another hold up his rifle and aim it at Max, ready to pull the trigger at anytime.
"Nooo, don't fire" was a cry heard from a male
He aimed and released the bullet. Instead of the bullet landing on Max, it hit Zack's lower side. He had blurred over to Max and pushed her out of the way so she wouldn't get shot.
Zack pushed Max to the ground, as he fell to his knee's next to her with his hand held against his injured side. Both transgenic's looked up at the man the soldier's failed to listen to… it was Lydecker. The soldier's held up their guns at him but Lydecker had already started shouting them.
Lydecker looked down at Max and Zack and said "X5-452 and X5-599 leave now it's not safe for you to be here"
The X5's exchanged a confused look but followed the command. Max helped support Zack's body weight and blurred over to where their bike's were sitting, having to dodge bullets in the process. Max got a flesh wound on her upper arm. They both climbed onto the ninja and left the fight behind them.
"Zack are you okay?" Max asked in an alarmed voice, looking over her shoulder to Zack as she was driving.
"I'll heal, Maxie are you okay to drive? Your wound seems deep" Zack commented
"I'll be okay, I think I can drive us to Canada without passing out" she answered
There was a silence between them for an hour. Max turned around to see Zack asleep, he was leading his head against her back but not near her sore arm and because of the way he was sitting he wasn't putting any pressure against her.
