A/N: first attempt. Sorry for spelling mistakes
A/N: sorry it took me so long. I was sick, had tons of homework and tests, and this week I had this preparation for the preparation of the army-and it was so much fun! It thought me a lot about the army and the behavior of the soldiers, so I'm guessing it will be good for my story too! Anyway, so I finally finished this chapter and I hope you all like it. Feedback is always appreciated!

Chapter 12 – Friends
Alec was lying on the cold floor 'thank god we can't get sick' he thought. He really wanted to get out of there. He hoped that the guard that was coming was one he knew, then his stay might be more bearable. He sat in silent waiting for the guard to come, and when he sat in silent in his cell he noticed that it wasn't one person coming but three. 'That's strange; I heard that sometimes there are two guards, but three? That's strange…'he thought and waited in silent for them to come.
Alec wasn't the only one that noticed that more then one person was coming. 'Alec said that's it's the guard coming to check us, but he didn't say three. And why do they need to send three guards, its not like we can hurt them… I so want to hurt them! I have to get out of here, I can't stand it anymore! Why doesn't Alec understand that? It's like he wants to stay here. How can he want to stay here? I mean look where he is because of Manticore! But he did try to help me, maybe he is just afraid to get caught again, I can understand him. It was my idea to run away and now he is stuck here… this suck!' Max stopped in the middle of her thoughts when she noticed that the people coming were very close to her cell. She sat in silent, waiting to see what will happen when they get to her.
They passed her cell, not even looking in to see how she is. 'that's strange, I thought they were here to check me and Alec…' she thought and stood up as silently as she could – she was hurt after all – and tried to see to where they are going. They stopped in front of Alec's cell. She was trying to zoom in on them, it was dark down there, and when she did she noticed that those "guards" weren't wearing any uniforms. Actually they were wearing other kind of uniforms, like hers! She saw them moving towards Alec's cell and stop in front of the hatch.
"Alec, pss Alec!" one of them whispered
Alec was lying in his cell, waiting for them to come. When he heard his name he knew exactly why there were three people coming down the stairs.
He opened his eyes, and saw that he was right! He couldn't be happier, at this time.
"Biggs!" he said in joy, he was so happy to see them, it's been a long time since he last saw him and his entire unit! And Biggs was his best friend!
"Alec! Man its good to see you! We really missed you, you know!" said Biggs, relieved to see that Alec is clear and not subdued.
"Yeah, I've been a bit busy…"said Alec. He wanted to get up for his friends. He leaned on the wall and managed to stable himself.
"What are you doing?" asked Biggs "don't get up! You need to save your strength!"
"Don't worry, I have a lot of it from where it comes!" said Alec, trying to laugh with his friend, but he really was weak. And Biggs noticed it too.
"Alec, listen to me, you really should lie down!" said a woman behind Biggs.
"Cece, is that you?" Alec asked, he was just too happy to see his friends, he had this power in him helping him standing.
"Yeah" she said, and Biggs moved so he could see her from the hatch. "You think that I will let Biggs here go see you, and I wont come?" said Cece
"Well I didn't know you were coming, so…" he said tiredness in his voice.
"Well, Biggs and Cece aren't the only ones here for you" the third person said.
"Speed!" Alec was so happy that his friends came to see him, he really missed them! "How are you?"
"How am I? How are you? Trying to help a 09er? And I thought you were the one that hated them the most… so, I guess having you partnered with one of them made you a close friend?" said Speed
"Yep, I really missed you Speed, right to the point. I helped her, or more exactly tried to help her, didn't go so well though, if you understand what I'm saying" said Alec, trying to make a joke out of the situation, but don't doing really well. His friends were too worried about him to start laugh about it just yet.
"Where is she anyway? Hope she had hell of a time!" said Biggs
"She did so don't worry!" the 4 of them heard someone say from another cell.
"That will be Max" said Alec
"Max?" they all asked him
"452, the 09er, you should have checked that she wasn't awake before you started talking about her" said Alec, a bit amused since that was that was the second time someone was talking about someone and they were awake.
"Thanks Alec!" said Max "you could have told your friends I were awake though, we did talk a few minutes ago."
"Yeah I guess I could" said Alec and they all looked at him "but what would be fun in that? He said and laughed, his friends only looking at him, now they were sure he was o.k.
"So, which one of you had a problem with me?" asked Max
"That would be me" said Speed "X5-888"
"Right. At your name is…?" asked Max
"Well, it's Speed" Speed said. He hesitated a bit, but he noticed that Alec was going by names, so he did too.
"And I'm Cece" said Cece coming to Max's cell so she could see her better "and that's Biggs" she said pointing at Biggs and he waved at her.
"So what are you doing here?" Max asked them
"we heard that they moved some from Psyops down here so we came to check if Alec was here , and this time we found him!" said Biggs and smiled to his friend.
"So I guess you really hate me" said Max
"Max! Now, why would you think like that?" asked Alec
"Well, we don't hate you, but you definitely didn't start on the right foot with us or anyone here for that matter" said Cece
"I guess getting the best Manticore soldier can ruin things a bit, cant it?" said Max
"Not just a soldier, but a friend. Alec took care of everyone and there isn't one person that didn't miss him now and then" said Speed.
"Guys, please stop, I'm going to cry" said Alec laughing
"You will when you'll get out! You're going to be attacked by everyone because you wanted to leave!" said Cece
"Hey! I didn't want to leave you guys! I never could! I just helped Max…" said Alec
"So…. I guess you'll be back soon, isolation is usually the last treatment" said Biggs
"Yeah, I really hope so. If everything goes right, I'll be back in 6 days. But Max will be back in 5." Said Alec
"Why does she has only 5 and you have 6 days?" asked Speed
"Well, do you think me punching Smith at the first day, and the guard the last made him angry at me?" Alec asked with an innocent face
"It just might!" said Biggs "you just can't help it can you?"
"What can I say, I was born to punch the bad guys only!" said Alec and they all laughed. Only Max didn't. She now understood why he didn't want to leave. This place was where his family was, not his home, his family, and he couldn't leave them. She hoped she could see her friends too. OC and Logan mainly, and all of her friends. She really missed them and wondered what they were doing without her.
"Max, you o.k. there, you are quit " said Alec
"What? Yeah, I'm fine. So you brought some food?" asked Max
"Yeah, we brought some food for Alec" said Biggs in a cold tone. Alec may be friends with her, but she hasn't gained his respect yet.
"Come on Biggs don't be like that, I'll share. We have apples too, so I'll be fine. Said Alec
"And from where do you have apples? Asked Cece
"Hmm, it's along story, and I don't want to get anyone in trouble, so when I'm out I promise I'll tell you" said Alec, he really didn't want to get those X6s in trouble.
"If you say so." Said Cece "we brought some apples too, and some bread and some leftovers of our food. Hope its good enough"
"I'm sure its better then nothing!" said Alec, he was hungry.
"We also brought some bottles of water; we know how much you like to drink." Said Speed
"Thanks a lot!" said Alec, and they gave him and Max the food. It was already 0900 hours by the time they finished eating, and Biggs, Cece and Speed had to go to their classes.
"We got to go, but we'll come back again soon enough." Said Speed and they all left.
"Your friends were really nice." Said Max
"I know!" said Alec "I'm going to sleep now, so nighty night" he said laughing
"Sleep? But its morning now!" said Max
"So?"
"So! We just woke up a few hours ago!
"Yeah, but it's not like we have something to do" said Alec
"I guess you're right, but I can't sleep! I already slept and I have shark DNA!"
"Well, good luck with that! But I'm going to sleep, all this food made me tired…" said Alec and went to sleep
"'all this food?' Like how much did you eat? Alec? Alec! That's so unfair! I can't fall asleep at all and he can in a matter of seconds!" said Max not knowing what to do next.

After their breakfast unit 7 had combat training out side. They finished their food and went out. Kelly, Ben and Jet were in deep thoughts trying to think of an idea to help David and Jess.
"Did you think of something?" Ben asked Kelly.
"No. did you?" Kelly asked him in a hopeful voice.
"No, sorry" said Ben
"Why are you sorry?" Kelly asked him. He didn't do anything wrong, did he?
"I didn't do anything wrong" Ben said when he saw her look "it's just that I have no idea on how to help David and Jess. We're soldiers, hoe am I supposed to know how to handle with love?" asked Ben, he looked really desperate.
"I'm sure we'll think about something, we are supposed to be smart" said Kelly trying to comfort him.
"Yeah, but even if we did, we don't know how she feels towards him, so how do we know we are doing the right thing?" he asked glancing at Jess and 345.
"But Ben, we know that she loves him, and from what you said, he loves her too, so there is no problem. Except of an idea to help them out and hook them up" said Kelly looking at the direction Ben was looking. He was watching Jess and 345 the whole talk, and she had a strange feeling that they weren't exactly talking about David and Jess's problem.
"Yeah, yeah, we know that…" said Ben in a distant voice
"Hey guys!" said Jet behind them
"What?" they both asked
"I have an idea!" Jet said excited
"Really! What is it?" Kelly asked him
"Maybe, you will share me in with your talk so I won't feel left alone?" he said in a serious tone
"What!" they both asked shocked. They thought that he had an idea about David and Jess's situation. They were mad at him so they sped up their pace. Although they hadn't talked Jet thought they had, and he was annoyed from that! Jet decided to go and see how David is doing, he hadn't talked to him since last night, and he had a lot of research to do if he really wanted to help them with their love problem.
"Hey, David! How are you feeling today?" Jet asked him
"Fine and you?" David asked him. he only talked with Ben and 546 since last night, and 546 didn't even know about what happened so basically he only talked with Ben about Jess, and he had no clue what to do next.
"I'm good. So what are you going to do with Jess?" asked Jet, straight to the point. He never liked all the little talks, he thought it was boring.
"I really don't know. I mean I like her a lot and apparently she likes me too, but she hasn't talked to her since last night and, well, I don't think that that's a good sing" said David
"Well, I think it's a good sing. I mean now she has time to think about it all, and she will realize that she does like you, and everything will be fine." Said Jet in a confident voice.
"And what if she understands she doesn't really like me at all?" asked a worried David. He was a CO, but he could still be worried, especially in the matters of the heart.
"I wouldn't be so worried if I were you" Jet told him.
"And why is that?" David asked him with a skeptical look.
"I just have this feeling that everything will turn our just fine" said Jet.
"What do you mean?" asked David
"Nothing, nothing" said Jet, winked at him and hurried to join Ben and Kelly.
"Oh no, what have I done? He is spending to much time with Ben, that's for sure" David said to know one, a bit laughing and sped up. He was the CO of this unit and he had to make sure they are all arranged. He passed near Jess and 345 and he noticed that Jess tried to avoid his glance, an action that never happened before. 'I hope you are right Jet. Because it could be really good if things started changing around here.'
