Hello. This will be my very first Dark Angel fic... Yay!

Rating: PG13, but there will be swearing... I like swearing... Go figure.

Summery: The Conclave find Ray's location, making White ask Max for help, and the two have to work against the clock to get to the boy before anyone else.

Just keep in mind that this is my first Dark Angel fic, and first chapter, so if its bad and short, I'm sorry!

-.- Chapter One -.-

"L-left." M0ax said. She tried to be stronger then the man driving thought she was, but her voice betrayed her. She was freezing.

"Wrap yourself up with the blanket." he said, slowly turning in the snowy traffic. "I dont need you sick 452."

"And for a second Ames, I thought you cared." she coughed. She might not be at her best, but her mouth would never fail her.

Ames White didnt care to awnser, but just kept following her directions.

"Go straight through these blocks. You'll go up a hill, her house is the big one on the end of the street..." Max trailed off, then turned and caughed into her hands again. She turned back to look at the road, currently covered in snow, letting her head rest on the seat belt that went across her chest. White looked at her from the corner of his eye at a red light. Her breathing was slow, but deep. Her arms and legs slightly trembling at her low temperature.

'Damn her pride!' he thought, turning back to the road as she caughed once again. 'She's going to get herself sick! Then what the fuck am I going to do?!'

While White cursed her without knowing, Max thought about how she had gotten into this situation in the first place, with her enemy none the less. In fact, it all started while she was arguing along side Alec with Normal...

[Flash Back]

"Hello! What do you and Golden Boy think you're doing Miss?!" Normal called, running up to his two employes.

"We'll go get your stuff." Sketchy said, Original Cidny following him.

"Well?"

"We're using faster, better transportaion to deliver packages faster." Alec said, stepping off his dirt bike.

"This way, we can get around faster. There and back." Max added in, sitting on her Ninja with her arms crossed defencivly.

"I dont care. They're noisy and big, and I dont want you on them!" Normal argued, ignoring Max's and Original Cidny's glares.

"452, 494 and yourself should really listen to your boss." Ames said, walking into Jam Pony from behind them with Otto following.

"Well I want you to drop dead, but we dont always get what we want now do we?" Max retorted, not even turning back to look at him. She revved up up her engine, and turned to Alec. Silently, she told him what to do through had signals, and he got on his bike and rode over to sit infront of the other Jam Pony employees near the lockers. Max swirved her bike around to face her enemy and his follower, and once again revved up her engine.

Otto grabbed his gun from his side pocket and aimed it at her. He had heard all about her, what she was, how she was trained, who trained her, and what she was made to do. Even when he asked White about her on one of his very rare good days, he'd do nothing but curse her and her Eye's Only firend. But one thing about her scared him more then any other transgentic could. You never could tell what she would do next.

Ames, on the other hand, only smirked at the lethal killer infront of him. Every transgentic he had come across seemed to have some sort of weakness, some flaw, and when Otto pulled out his gun, Ames saw a flash a fear cross her eyes.

She didnt like guns.

But at the same time, behind her, he saw Alec flinch.

His weakness was her.

"Well?" Ames spoke up. "No big escape tricks?"

Suddenly, Max pulled her feet from the ground as her bike shot out at the two. Ames easily jumped over the bike, thanking his familiar strength. His partner on the other hand underestimated the speed of the Ninja and shot, only to hit nothing but floor and lose his gun.

Max pulled on the breaks of her bike, pulling slightly to stop sideways on the ramp at the door to Jam Pony, Otto's gun in hand.

"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with guns?" Max said to Otto, taking apart the gun without looking, letting the bullets spill everywhere. "I've been shot twice, and I'm still here. You can try, but I'll just kick your ass in the end."

"Relax, Max." Ames said, spitting out her name like it made him want to slit his own throat. "I'm not here to kill you, for once."

This shocked her, as well as Alec. Ever since they ruined his first plan, it was like he was looking for just them. Then when Max took away Ray, he only seemed to get more determined.

"Bullshit!" Alec spoke up from behind the familiar, not even causing him to turn around.

Ames sighed. Max wasnt saying anything, wasnt even moving to attack again. She just sat there on her bike, waiting for him to say something, to explain. He reached into his coat pocket, silently snickering to himself as she visible tensed. But to everyones surprise, he only pulled out a disk and a card.

No gun.

No taser.

Slowly, he walked up to Max and held out the objects for her to take. She took them, and gave him a questioning glare as she put them into the inside pocket of her jacket.

"Look at the disk." he said simply. "When you do, you can either meet me at the location on the card, or ignore it. Its up to you." with that, he started to walk past her and up to the street, but stopped momentarily.

"How do I know its not a virus, or a trap?" Max asked as Otto shook out of the shock of his bosses actions and ran up past him to thier parked car.

"When you see the information, you'll understand." he stated, not even turning around to look at her. "See you later." and he walked out.

Slowly, Alec and Original Cidny walked up to Max, who still hadnt moved.

"So, that was a black helicopter dude..." OC said, watching as Max pulled out the disk from her pocket.

"One of the worst." she mumbled, looking at the disk in her hand.

"What are you gonna do?" Alec asked. "You cant trust him. It could be a virus. Or worse, a lethal Conclave trap. Trusting Lydecker and Madam Bitch would be safer then trusting Ames White."

"I've trusted Lydecker..." Max said, pain evident in her eyes. "And that cost me Zack... The Zack I knew. While Madam X took a bullet for me. What do I do?"

Alec thought a moment. Once again, Max had cornered him. Either ignore it all like it never happened, or find out whats going on.

"Normal!" Max called behind the X5, snaping him out of thought. "I'm taking the day off!"

Before Normal could say no, and before Alec could try to stop her, the black 650 Kawasaki Ninja was long gone, along with a certain Max Guevara.

[End Flash Back]
