Chapter 6: Two

Some museum

Here she was, of all places she could have been she was here, stealing a baseball that some guy hit for some record setting homerun. Whatever, she really didn't care. The only she did care about was Alec, getting this baseball would get him off her back about not having enough money in his pocket…it was really starting to annoy her.

For the past week or so he has been hounding her about getting some easy cash, just by stealing a baseball. Of course, her being the responsible one and all, had to tell him that it wasn't right, and that she didn't do that kind of stuff anymore. But then he pulled out all the stops and used a line that he knew would get her to do it.

He told her that if she loved him she would steal the baseball for him. Lets just say she sunk like a rock in a pound. So here she was hanging by a road trying to get the stupid baseball out of it's case without setting off any alarms. Sometimes Alec could be such as ass that she didn't even understand why she put up with him.

Yet every time she thought that she would remember the way he made her feel when he held her at night, and when he would hold every time she would have the shakes. He would tell how she made him feel and how great it was to have her in his life. And then finally she would remember how they would laugh together about something stupid. And all those thoughts about her regretting ever letting Alec out of Manticore, or wishing he was not in her life vanished.

Just as Max was about to take the last screw out of the case that the ball was held on she felt something pass through her. A feeling that only happened when Alec was around and when she looked up sure enough the dumb ass himself was coming down a rope. Sometimes she understood why OC was lesbian…men are too dumb witted to be around. Alec slid his way down to where Max was hanging graceful and gave her one of his 'I know I am a ass but I also know you still love me' smiled as he looked at what she was doing.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she asked and then she realized something. "You know what, never mind…I so don't want to know," she said as she turned back to what she was doing.

"Ah come on Maxie," he said as he looked at her. "You know how much I love money…I just wanted to make sure that you were doing this right," he said and the he winced. "That didn't not come out right at all," he said as he looked over at her but she wasn't looking at him. Maybe she didn't hear me. He told himself as he watched her work. "So Max what are we doing tonight?" he asked.

"I am going to sleep right after this because I have work in the morning," she paused. "Man it's going to feel good to have the bed to myself," she joked.

"What do you mean…to yourself?" he asked. Where was he going to be?

"You," she said as she looked at him with a evil smile on her face. "Get the joys of sleeping on the couch," she said.

Sometimes you really have to hate how good a transgenics hearing is. "You know I was only kidding," he pleaded. "Like your going to be able to sleep without me beside you," he said as he watched her unscrew the last screw. "With your shark DNA you will be up all night," he said. Max lifted up the case and set it next to the baseball, yet when she went to pick it up she noticed that Alec had grabbed it. She just glared at him thinking that he would just give the ball over.

"Come on…I am the one that rightful stole it," she said as she grabbed his arm and they started swing across the room. "I am so gonna kick your ass," she said as she tried to get the ball away from him.

"You know this would be a whole lot easier if you just said, 'Alec you can sleep in the bed tonight'" he said mimicking her voice. Suddenly her leg came up and kicked the ball out of his hands and when she tried to catch it she missed. "Great," he said as he watched it hit the floor. He looked over at her with a guilty look on his face.

"You are so sleeping on the couch," she said as she started climbing up the robe as the alarms started going off.

"I know this might be a bad time to ask but you think I could catch a ride home with you?" he asked as he too started to climb.

"You can kiss my ass," she said as she reached the roof and pulled herself out. "You can find your own way home…do you have any idea how much money you just cost me?" she asked when he reached the roof and pulled himself out. When he didn't answer she looked at him. "Well?" he shuck his head no. "A lot!" she yelled as she walked over to were her rope was hanging down the side of the building. "We could have lasted a long time on that money." She said as she climbed down and watched as Alec got on the rope. "Alec you have to wait until I am on the ground first!" she yelled up to him but he didn't hear her. She looked down at the ground and saw that if she fell she would be fine…a little sore but fine…the baby on the other hand was a different story.

"Max you know we could work this out," he said no even knowing the trouble he was putting them in.

"Alec get back up to the roof!" Max yelled but he didn't hear her. Max could hear the rope breaking. She took one last look at the ground and swore to herself. "This is gonna hurt," she said as she heard the last of the rope break and she fell to the ground. When she hit the ground she could hear Alec calling out to her and she could see him falling to the ground with a lesser fall.

"Max!" he said when he reached her side. "What can I do?" he asked as he looked down at her.

"Take me to doctor Carr's office," she said. "I will show you the way," she said as he started to carry her. This was not going to be good for the baby.

Dr. Carr's office

Alec had gotten Max to Dr. Carr's office as fast as he could but he still felt as it was going to be too late. Not that Max was in that serious of trouble but if she lost the baby he didn't know what would happen between them because anyway he broke it down this was all his fault.

As soon as Carr saw the condition Max was in he told Alec to take her to one of the surgery rooms and that he would be there in a minute. When he got there the first thing he did was check for her plus which he felt was strong…which meant she wasn't has hurt as she looked.

"I fell," she explained. "I am pregnant and I'm worried about the baby," she said as she looked him in the eyes. He went and got out the ultra-sound machine and Max laid flay on her back and pulled her shirt up a little.

"How far along are you?" he asked as he looked at her stomach and saw that she wasn't really showing.

"About a month or so," she said, as she looked him in the eyes. "You will be able to tell right?" she asked and he nodded. He applied some gel to her stomach and then brought something down that Max guessed is what helped him see the baby. She watched as he moved it around and he looked at the screen in front if him. When he stopped he looked over at her and gave her a weak smile. "Well?" she asked when he didn't say anything.

He looked over at her and then back at the door. He walked over to the door and waved Alec in who was currently waiting in the waiting room because he didn't want to be in there…he said it was something about hospitals that he didn't like. He walked in and looked at Max who wore a worried expression and he felt even worse than he did when he first brought her in. He sat down next to her and together they looked at the doctor.

"Well doc?" Alec asked with a slight hitch in his voice.

He looked at Alec and then at Max and he hung his head. "I'm sorry," he said as he looked back up at them. "You lost the baby," he said as he looked at the couple in fornt of him.

Without warning Alec got up and ran from the room and Max hung her head knowing that he thought it was his fault, which it was, but she wasn't going to hold it against him. He didn't know that they rope would hold the both of them. He thought he was doing the right thing in trying to get away so her didn't get either of them caught, he couldn't have known what happen.

"Thanks," Max said as she whipped her stomach off with a towel that he had given her and then pulled her shirt down. "I better go find him before he does something stupid," she said as she got up and started to walk out.

"Max?" she turned around and looked at him. "I really am sorry," he said. She smiled and she walked out the door in search of Alec knowing that he was beating himself up for this.

When Max ran outside she noticed that it was raining. Which really wasn't a surprise. As she walked outside she noticed that Alec was standing the middle of the parking lot looking over at her. Rain dripping from his hair but he didn't seem to notice because his eyes where locked on hers. As she approached him she noticed that it wasn't really the rain that was making his face wet, as she looked closer she saw tears.

"Alec?" she called him and he turned away from her.

"Don't Max." he said. "Don't say my name like nothing happened, like I did nothing wrong," he said turning back to look at her. "I took your baby from you," he said finally as he feel to his knees.

"It's not your fault," she told him as she too dropped to her knees and held him in her arms. "It's not your fault," she said again and she continued to hold him in the rain not caring what people thought when they saw they sitting in the middle of the parking lot in the rain.

Sector checkpoint

The sector cop was sitting back in his chain enjoying some hold move that was playing on the TV. For awhile now things had been going easy around the checkpoints, no one was trying to by pass without a sector pass, which was always good. Just as he was about to take another sip of his beer he heard something coming from outside. He got up and looked out the window and saw nothing.

"Great," me mumbled to himself as he walked over, grabbed the flashlight, and walked out into the darkness. When he rounded the corner her could faintly hear the sound of something clawing and as he grew closer the louder the sound became. When he peered around one of the many creates that crowed the streets he saw someone or something leaning over someone. "Hey!" he yelled as he pointed his flashlight at the person, which he now knew was a something not a someone. The thing charged at him and his scream went unnoticed in the night.

Jam Pony

Max had been talking to OC about what had happen at Joshua that morning when she went to see him. How he had somehow gotten hurt. When she looked at OC she debating whether or not telling her about the baby. She was just about to when he walked in, looking like shit, but still walking with his head held high so no one knew the pain he was in at that very moment.

Max hung her head as he walked over to Normal and she could hear him asking if he had any job openings, you had to love transgenic hearing. At first she heard Normal telling him that all he needed was another useless moron, and then Sketchy pointed out that Alec was some kind of cage fighter…and a good one at that.

Normal's head shot up so fast that Max almost thought he was going to give himself whiplash or something. "Monty Cora!" Normal said in a high pitch voice as he walked out from behind the counter to get a better look at Alec. Alec just played it cool with a smile on his face.

Finally Max got up from where she was sitting next to OC and walked over to the group of men standing by the delivery counter. Alec gave her a look that said 'I have no idea what's going on' and smiled at her. Normal looked at was he was smiling and shuck his head. "Don't want to get involved with that one," Normal said pulling him away from Max. "She's trouble." He stated.

"Yeah, but she is hot one isn't she?" Sketchy said from beside the two men.

"Sorry to bust your bubble but I am off the market…isn't that right Alec?" She asked looking at him.

"Yup," he said as he pushed Normal aside and walked over to Max and giving her a kiss. "And she is all mine," he said as he looked down at her. Max could still see the hurt in his eyes about the baby and she so desperately wanted to vanish that look from ever appearing on his face again. Alec turned back to where Normal and Sketchy were standing with their mouths wide open. "So Normal, about that job?"

"It's yours," he said without hesitation.

Max gave him a quick peck on the cheek as she turned and walked back over to where her and OC were sitting. OC was just smiling at her, and she knew it was for the way they had just played Normal. What? She couldn't help herself. There are only so many times that you have an opening like that to take something away from your boss, something he thought only he had a hold of. Like him and his precious night fighting matches he goes to.

Oh yeah they all now but they have yet to find an opening to were they could use it against him, that is until Alec walked through the doors that led to Jam Pony. Alec walking in with all his fighting glory, which just proved the point that all great people were destined to fall, and trust her when she mean fall, they would fall hard. Alec finally joined the realms of the working world…but she really knew why and it had nothing to do with falling, well it did. Only he wasn't the one that fell.

He finally came to notice how dangerous it was for them to have a life like they had last night. Making money by stealing other people's money. Before last night he never knew the consequence for what he was doing, or what he had Max doing for him. But that all came to a scary realization when he found out that because of the dangerous lifestyle Max had lost his, their, baby. And he would die before he let Max do something like that again, pregnant or not.

"Yo, girl you okay?" OC said waving a hand in front of Max's face. "You just spaced out." OC said.

"Sorry, I was thinking about some things." Max explained. "Who did Normal send Alec out with?" she asked as she put another package into her bag.

"Sketchy…your boo is so gonna get lost," OC said with a smirk.

"Yeah he is," Max, said as she stood up. "I gotta jet…see you later at Crash?" Max asked and OC nodded. "Later," Max said as she ran out to her bike and took off toward Sector nine. She couldn't believe that he wanted to work in a place like this…he could easily make more money somewhere else that he could make in a year here. But she reall didn't care because now she got to spend more time with him.

Crash

Max sat at Crash with OC and Sketchy while Alec sat at the bar all by myself with his Scotch. He hadn't talked to her since that morning when they where messing with Normal. She guessed it had to do with the baby, while losing the baby anyway. He even slept on the couch last night even though she told him he could sleep in the bed, he told her he didn't have to.

Max looked at him from across the room, it was killing her to see him like this. And the worse part about it is that every time she went to touch him he would flinch or take a step backward. Either he thought he didn't deserver her touch or he just thought that if he let her get close enough she would see inside him, and know what he was feeling.

She really didn't care what he thought back their curtain situation; all she wanted was for her old Alec to come back. Because this new one was not the man that she fell in love with, of course the old one doesn't even know that small fact.

Just as Max was about to go over and see how Alec was doing Sketchy started talking about something that seemed to catch her attention. "So have you guys heard about the mutant that attacked the cops the other night?" he asked and off of Max and OC looks he continued. "What? It's true, it's all over the news. It ripped the tongue out of one of the guys skull…it's kinda nasty," he said as Max stood up. "Where you goin?" he asked.

"I just remembered I have something to take care of," she said as she put on her jacket and headed toward the entrance. Out of the corner of her eye Max could see Alec coming toward her. "Hey," she said when he stood in front of her.

"Where you goin?" he asked in a tone that sounded all soldier that it made Max shiver.

"I think Joshua might be in trouble…I am going to see if he is okay," she said as she reached her hand out to put on his arm in a sign of comfort, but he pulled away. "Alec what's wrong with you?" she asked in a worried tone.

"Nothing," he said as he looked at her. "I don't want you going out there by yourself…you don't anything about Joshua, he could be dangerous," he said.

"Joshua? Yeah right," Max said with a little laugh but it faded away when she saw the look on his face. "Listen Alec, I know your worried about me after what happen but I can take care of myself," she said as she turned and walked away. "You don't need to worry about me all the time," she called back over his shoulder.

Alec hung his head and walked back to where he was sitting only moments before. "Another Scotch," he said and the bartender brought him the whole bottle and Alec gave him a curious look.

"Girl trouble…I know the feeling, your going to need more than a little glass," he said and then walked away toward another customer.

If he only knew the troubles that I have. Alec thought. The problems between Max and me seem to only be the tip of the iceberg. Whenever I think things are going great for me something happens that brings me right back down to earth. Something happens that shows me how much of a screw up I really am. She lost her baby, and it is all my fault no matter how much she tells me otherwise.

If never would have shown up and tried to help her get the baseball, we never would have set of the alarm, and when never would've had to run so we didn't get caught. Then she could've been on the rope all by herself and then she and the baby would have made it back home alright, where I should have been waiting for them. Alec was brought out of his thoughts by a hand on his shoulder. He turned and saw OC standing right there.

"I know there is something going on that Max and you aren't telling me," she said, as she looked him in the eyes. "And a blind person could see how much it's ripping you apart inside," she added. "What you need to do get over whatever the hell it is that has you acting like…whatever it is your acting like…because Max needs you. As much as she tells you she doesn't." With that OC turned and walked away leaving Alec to his thoughts.

He sat at the bar looking straight ahead at nothing when he realized that he did need to be out there with Max. He got up grabbed his jacket and ran out the door. And soon as his feet hit the pavement he turned and ran in the direction of Joshua's house.

Logan's apartment(next day)

Max had gone to Joshua and he wasn't there, there wasn't even a sign that indicated that he had been there all day. She went and saw Zane in his bedroom and he told her that Joshua hadn't been home all night. She was starting to worry about him, Joshua was not ready for this type of world.

Sure he could handle himself in any fighting, army type world where he could fight his way out of anything. But here in the real world, things were a lot more complicated. He wasn't ready and that it what made her worry the most.

So now her and Zane stood in Logan's apartment trying to find out any information on the latest in these police murders. Zane was walking around the apartment looking at various things before he came back to where Logan and Max where sitting.

"Max I could see why you like him," Zane said pointing to Logan. "He's loaded." He added and he took a seat next to Max, who was positioned in front of Logan. "Yo man what do you do for a living?" he asked.

"Logan we need your help, I went by Joshua's tonight and he wasn't there. Zane said that he hadn't been there all night." She said. "That's not like him." She added.

"Max you look like you could use a rest, why don't you let Zane and I take care of this," he said.

"No…I'm fine, what makes you think I am not fine?" she asked.

"I spoke to Dr. Carr today and he told me that I should keep and eye on you and Alec," he said. "He said that you guys have just experienced something horrible, he added. "But he wouldn't tell me what. I was hopping you would," he said.

"Sorry Logan, but whatever happens between me and Alec stays between me and Alec," she said as she looked at him. "Now are you going to help us or not?" she asked changing the subject. She didn't want to discuss her problems with Logan because it would be just like old times, a time before Alec and she really didn't want to go back there…there were more important things to worry about than he relationship.

"Fine," he said as he looked at his computer. "I called Matt Sung and he told me that they found some weird looking half dog, held human thing living in the sewers. My guess is that Joshua went in the sewers last night and instead of coming out during the day he stayed and waited for nightfall. They have him in custody now…they are assuming that he is the ones that killed the cops." He finished.

"What office?" Zane asked coming to look over Logan's shoulder.

"Office 12," he said as his eyes never left Max's. He knew there was something that she was keeping from him, but he didn't know what it was. He remembers when she would tell him what was on her mind…he missed those times. He missed the nights they would stay up and talk about her life back at Manticore.

"Thanks man," Zane said as he patted the older man on the shoulder. "Come on Maxie we got a dog boy to save," Zane said as he walked out the door.

"Thanks Logan," Max said as she got up and headed toward where Zane was waiting.

"Whenever you need to talk," he said.

"I now where to find you," she said as she walked out of the apartment.

Joshua's house

Alec walked into Joshua's house and he saw that no one was there, not even Zane, who he guessed never left. He walked in further and saw nothing, but he could smell that Max had been here not too long ago. As he walked around the house and he noticed that no one was home…not even Joshua, which was unusual. He never left the hose unless Max or Alec was with him.

Just as Alec was about to walk out of the house and go to Logan's apartment to see if he knew where Max and Zane had went he heard something upstairs. He walked stealthily toward the stairs and then slowly ascended them keeping his ears open, in case something decided to attack him when he wasn't looking. When he reached the top flower he looked to his right but then snapped his head to the left when he heard the noise again.

Alec walked toward the room where he had heard the noise and as he approached closer the noise became louder and louder. He still couldn't put his finger on what the sound was…and a part of him really didn't want to know. When he reached the room the door was closed, so he put his hand on the knob and slowly turned it. As he pushed the door open and horrible smell felled his nose but he went forward.

As soon as he peeked his head around the door he saw someone standing there…it looked like Joshua. "Josh?" he called out and the thing turned around and he realized that it was not Joshua. Joshua's twin ran toward Alec knocking him down, but instead of staying to rip him apart the thing ran from the house. When Alec looked back in the room he saw something hanging from the ceiling.

He slowly go to his feet and walked toward where the things where hanging. "Oh my God…are those…tongues?" he asked himself. "Max," he said as he bolted toward the front door. When he reached the front door he sniffed the ground and then he saw that in the middle of the rood a sewer hole was uncovered. "Great," he said as he walked toward it and jumped in.

Police headquarters

Zane and Max walked down the police station's hallways…already jacking a uniform for Zane and she was going as a news reporter who caught wind of the story. Max knew what they were about to do was tremendously dangerous but she needed to get Joshua out of there…he would do the same for her.

"So Maxie, you gonna tell me what's going on with you and Alec?" Zane asked as he walked closely behind her. "I mean I saw the way your were looking at Logan after he asked about that doctor visit you had." He said. "You know you can tell me," he added as he put his hand out to stop her. "I'm your brother Max…you can tell me." He said trying to get her to come clean.

"It's nothing…we just had a little fight is all," she said as she continued walking. Why aren't you telling him? He is the only one that could understand and maybe if help Alec come over his inner dilemma. Max told herself as she continued her walking. Just then she turned and looked at him causing him to jump. "I lost the baby," she said. "I was on a heist and the rope broke cause me to fall, further than I should have and we lost the baby," she said as she looked at him. "Alec wont even touch me, it is like he is afraid," she said.

"Is that why he isn't here with you now?" he asked and Max nodded. "Listen Maxie, after we get Joshua out of here and back home safe I'll have a little chat with Alec. Okay?" he said when he looked at her and she nodded again. "Okay now can we get this over with because this uniform is a little small he said with a smirk and was rewarded with one from Max. "Don't worry baby sister, everything will be okay." He said.

They arrived out side the gate that leads to Joshua's cell and Zane nodded toward the other officer to open the gate. At first he was a little hesitant but he opened it nonetheless. The walked down the corridor and then came to stop outside Joshua's cell. "Hey big fella," Max called in and was reward when Joshua stirred and looked over at them. "We're here to break you out." She said.

"Little fella? Zane?" he asked. "Joshua want to go home," he said. Zane took the keys that he had gotten off the other officer and opened the gate. When he did so Max brought Joshua into a hug. "We go home now?" he asked.

"Yeah…let's blaze." Max said as she looked to her left, back the way they came, and saw the officer that Zane had gotten the clothes from. "Really time to go," she said as she pushed them in the other direction. The moved down the hall when Max came to a door and opened it running in before looking and she stopped dead in her tracks. Joshua on the other had was in all his glory…they had just ran into the canine room. Zane soon found his way to where Max was making sure to stay as close to the wall as possible. "Sorry to be rube, but can we please get the hell outta here?" she asked and Joshua looked at her. "Feline DNA remember." She said and he nodded and soon they where on there way out of the room and out of the police head quarters.

Sewers

Alec had been in the sewers for little over an hour but still he had come up empty, not even a since of the Joshua look a like. "Why are you in here Alec?" he asked himself as he continued along. "You know the only reason your doing this is to win back her trust." He scolded himself. You think she will ever trust you again after what you did. He thought. "It wasn't my fault." He told himself. "I couldn't have known what was going to happen."

You weren't listening to her when she told you that the rope wasn't going to hold the both of you. You were too busy going on and on about what you could have done better on the mission…

"I didn't hear what she was saying, I thought she was just telling me to shut my trap like she always does when I talk too much," he told himself.

And look what happened.

Just then out of the corner of his eye he saw something and started to chase after it decided to argue with himself later.

Joshua's house

Max and Zane took Joshua back to his place and as soon and Max walked in she knew that Alec had been there. He sent clouding her senses and she walked into the house but she didn't see him. She walked with Joshua back into the living room and saw on a chair while he sat in the comfy chair. Zane went into the kitchen to get them something to drink.

"Why did you kill those cops?" she asked as soon and Zane left the room. "What did they do to you?" she asked.

"I didn't kill them…Isaac did." He said. Max looked at him with confusion. "Isaac is Joshua's clone…his twin," Joshua said. "After left Isaac didn't take it to well," he said getting lost in the memory of hearing his brother's screams. "He would cry night and day, and the guard would hit him to try and get whim to be quiet…but he wouldn't listen…Isaac was stubborn." Joshua said.

"He sees the Sector cops as Manticore guards," Max said. "I have to stop him." She said as she stood up.

"Joshua come with you," he said standing up also.

"No." she said firmly.

"Don't hurt Isaac," Joshua said.

"I wont unless I have too." She said. But before she knew it she was on her back and Joshua was out the door. Max quickly got to her feet and followed him out.

"It took a little while longer to get the water clear, but no fear because I am here…" he trailed off as he entered the room and noticed that no one was there. "Okay." He said as he sat down with one of the beers he had brought in for him and Max. "I see how it is."

Sewers

Alec was sitting in one of the caverns that led to the outer hallway, which led into the apartment building above. The Joshua look a like had trapped him in here and he could seem to find his way out. He constantly banged on the grate but I didn't budge.

What a great big hero you are…you let the bad guy look you in a cage.

"Shut up."

What are you going to do if it gets out and starts attacking people…maybe even Max.

"I wont let that happen," he told himself. Just then he heard a hoise and saw Joshua approaching. "Hey big fella…um…wanna let me out?" he asked but Joshua just ignored him and continued up the stairs. "Great." He mumbled.

Come on Alec concentrate on your senses…you is up the way Joshua is headed. I know you can find out if you try. His inner voice said. Come on use your X5 senses. Why do you think you X5's are the best? Because you all got all the best senses. Now who is up there?

"Max," he said and as if with new energy he started banging on the grate again and again.

Meanwhile…

Max was walking along the hallway of some apartment building that she had followed Joshua into. As she walked on she got this strange feeling in her stomach that told her she was no supposed to be here, that something bad was going to happen if she stayed. And as if on cue a snarl came from behind her and when she turned around she saw who she guessed was Isaac.

Before she could block him he lashed out at her causing her to fall to the ground. She was quickly up and fighting back. She jumped on his back but he drove her into the wall which caused her to release her grip and fall to the floor once again. But before she could get up Isaac was on top of her and he raised his claw.

"Isaac no!" She turned and looked to see Joshua. And as he rimed a metal rode toward Isaac's heart. Isaac fell to the ground as Max went to lean up against the wall. Joshua looked closely at Isaac as his life drained from his…and as he whimpered.

Max could only look on at the sense before her. "Are you okay?" A voice asked behind her and when she turned around she saw Alec sitting there with blood on him. "Are you okay?" he asked again.

"Am I okay? You're the one covered in blood." She said as she looked at him.

"I thought you were in trouble and I was trapped so I rammed my way through…hurt like hell…but I got to you." He paused. "I will always get to you," he said as Max brought him into a hug and she was relieved when he didn't pull away instead pulled her closer.

Max's apartment (later that night)

Max and Alec lay in their bed, tangled in each others limbs just staring at each other. Alec brought his hand up to brush a piece of hair out of her face. He smiled at her and she returned it.

"I love you," he said softly.

"I love you too," she said as she leaned forward and kissed him and once again they were lost in each other…rest of the world be damned.

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart

I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't
Take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Joshua's house

"Tell me about him," Zane said as he took a seat next to Joshua. "Tell me about Isaac."

"Why? Isaac is gone." Joshua said.

"I want to know the Isaac you knew."

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one-way street
With the monsters in your head

When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Logan's apartment

Logan sat all by himself in his apartment looking at his computer screen. Asha was out with the S1W on some mission that he had sent them on. So here he was sitting at his computer looking at a picture of him and Max when they were happy…right before they decided to take down Manticore and he lost her forever.

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart

Just then Asha came walking through the door and he clicked the image of Max off the screen. He was alone in his mind because Max was no longer his.
