Chapter 22: Love Among the Ruins

Mental Hospital

To the mental patients in the hospital it was like a party outside, there was fire, dancing and yelling. Although none of them knew what the yelling was all about, because it wasn't even in English. But anything seemed better than the lives they led.

"You gotta check this out man," One of the patients said. When he saw that the other person in the room wasn't moving he shrugged. "Whatever, you're missing out buddy," he said as he continued to look out the window.

The mental patient listened closely to what the women below was saying in a language that he didn't understand. "Kon'ta ress!" the women shouted. "Ken'da hiff!" Another one shouted. Then everyone together shouted, "Ken'da hiff!"

"And here they think we're crazy." The mental patient said as he continued to listen.

"Adara mos rekali, konoss rehu jek." The older women priest said as she held up a snake that she had gotten from the wooden box moments before. Everyone begins to chant, "Adara mos rekali, konoss rehu jek."

"This is my chance!" the mental patient says as he distiches the bars that he had previously been trying to get lose. Then he looks back at the man strapped to the bed. "It's been nice talking to you," he said as he climbed out the window.

Somewhere in Seattle

White was standing outside his offices looking ahead at the stars that are shouting through the sky. He mumbles to himself, "Adara mos rekali, konoss rehu jek," as he looked at the show before him. That's when he feels someone behind him.

"Sir," the person says. White turns to him. "I just wanted to remind you that you have an eight o' clock meeting with the chief," he said.

"Is it just me or was this job more fun when it was a secret?" he asked as he turned back toward the sky. "Isn't it beautiful?" he asked but be didn't receive an answer, not that he expected one.

"Sir, I think you should get some sleep," Otto said as he turned and walked back into the building.

"What and miss the show," White said to himself as he continued to look at the stars. "It only happens once a year." He said as he to turned and walked into the building, after all he had a long day ahead of this tomorrow.

Terminal City

Max and Alec had been spending most of there waking moments either at Jam Pony or at Terminal City. Max was the only one here at the moment, she had given Normal her notice for going on leave because of her pregnancy, he didn't argue because Alec said he would get someone to fill her place and he did. Cece, Biggs, and Zane, they were all X5's so Alec figured he would be giving Normal the upper hand on the business of delivering packages.

Max was currently trying to help the transhumans to get their computer and stuff on line. She went back to her old apartment building and stole the generator that they had there and brought it to Terminal City. Some of the transhumans where able to fix it up but they were still having trouble getting it to run.

Just as she was about to kick the generator into hear someone tapped her on the shoulder. When she turned around she saw Dix standing there. He was a transhuman that was made for digging trenches, she couldn't tell what his DNA was mixed with but he was really good with computers.

"What's up Dix?" Max asked as she looked at him.

"We have a transhuman on the loose in Sector 5…he's on the run for White," Dix explained as he looked at the X5 that had become their leader without even realizing it. He could see it in everyone's eyes when the looked at her, they looked at her with respect and honor.

"Alright we're on our way," Max said as she pulled out her cell phone and called Alec, Biggs and Zane.

Jam Pony

Alec and Biggs where standing near the telephone remising about old times when his cell phone started to ring. He pulled it out and looked at the caller ID and smiled when he say the words 'MY BABE' on the screen.

"Max, sweetheart, what do I owe this pleasure," he said with a smile as Zane came walking over.

"We have a transhuman in Sector 5, he's on the run from White. Met me there in ten…honey," she said the last part with a sarcastic tone.

"We'll be there," Alec, said as he hung up the phone and looked at the two men before him. "We have trouble," he said as he started to leave. "Hey Normal we're going on break," he said as he headed toward his motorcycle.

"Whatever," he heard Normal mumble as he head out.

Sector 5

Max was the last one to arrive, so when she did she caught the end of whatever the three guys were talking about. It had something to do with a girl in Tiland, she made sure to throw Alec a glare and all he did was smile.

"Come on Max, you know I'm a one women man," he said as he looked at the guys. "That all happened before you came into my life." He added with a smile.

"Whatever," Max said as she looked at sector cop that stood before them. "Jam Pony messengers, we have a transplant organ that we need to get to Harbor Lights hospital as soon as possible," Max said as she and the three guys showed there sector passes. The sector cop waved them through.

"So where do you think they are?" Zane asked and then he heard some gunshots. "Never mind," he said as he sped off.

"Alec you go with Zane through the front. Biggs and I will take the back and surprise them, I'll grab the transhuman because my bike was made for two people whereas yours wasn't," Max said and Alec nodded. "Be careful," she said to the three of them before her and Biggs went in one direction and Alec and Zane went in the other.

Ames White had his car positioned in the back end of the alleyway for the transhuman couldn't get away, or so her thought. That's when the sound of motorcycles came to his ears. "Shit!" he said to himself as he looked behind him just in time to see Alec hit him with a lead pipe. Zane being ever so clever grabbed a bigger pipe and was able to knock to guys out in one shot. Alec them shot out the tears of the two cops cars at the other end of the alley just Max and Biggs made their way around the corner. Biggs knocked out the cops by the cars as the transhuman got on Max's Ninja.

Alec smiled as she started off again. He them proceeded to shot out the tires of both or White's car wheels just as White himself was getting up. But as he stood up Max went up and over a ramp, which brought her up and over White causing him to once again hit the ground. When he got up he started shouting knowing that he wasn't going to hit them, when he turned around he punched Otto in the face and stalked away. Otto got up of the group slowly and looked toward the way the transgenics had gone and then in the way White had gone, it was easy to say Otto was confused.

Alec, Zane, Max, and Biggs had to go a different way to get out of the sector without the sector police seeing them. As they were riding along Max saw a ramp that would bring them right over the fence that is if they got enough speed up. So she turned around went back about a hundred feet, while everyone else watched from the side. She revved her engine and took off. She cleared it and then nodded for everyone else to do it. While she in turn started up her engine again and started toward Terminal City.

Terminal City

They all arrived in Terminal City without any problems. Once the gate, where they had entered, was closed she hopped off her bike and the transhuman that was riding with her did the same. "You got a name?" she asked him and everyone started to gather around them.

"Mike," he said as he looked around at everyone carefully.

"You okay pal?" Dix asked as he walked up behind Max.

"I am now," Mike said as he finally felt like he was home.

"Welcome to Terminal City," Max said as she looked around and spotted Alec, Zane, and Biggs. She walked over to them as everyone else welcome the new member of Terminal City. "You guys should be getting back before Normal starts to suspect something," Max said.

"Yeah your right," Alec said as he nodded the other two to go ahead and he would catch up. "Max I don't feel comfortable you doing this…in you condition," he said as he looked at her slightly round belly.

"Alec I'm pregnant no handicapped," Max said as she leaned over and kissed him softly. "Now go back to work," she said with a smile. "I'll be waiting for you when you come home." She said,

"So does that mean we're moving again?" he asked and she shrugged.

"I don't know, I mean Logan's apartment is right there but I have a feeling we should be inside Terminal City at all times," she said as she looked at him. "Do you mind?" she asked.

"Nah, I'll start looking for a place tomorrow on my day off," he said as he started up his bike, kissed her and then left, headed back to Jam Pony.

Jam Pony

Alec walked into Jam Pony and saw Normal was just starting to open his mail. He walked over to his boss and smiled. "So you got those Sector passes I asked you for?" he asked. Normal looked around but Alec never left his gaze leave his boss. Normal handed them to Alec and his smile grew. "Thanks Normal, I'm telling you, you're not got to regret this," Alec said as he walked away from the front desk.

Alec then walked over to where Biggs and Cece where standing. "Here you go guys, your access to the city," Alec said as he handed them over their sector passes.

"Thanks man," Biggs said.

"You have to be a hard worker because I gave him my word that you guys are hard workers," Alec said. "This is my ass on the line," Alec added.

"No problem Alec," Cece said as she started looking him up and down. Alec didn't like the way she was looking at him.

"Thanks," Alec said as he started to walk away. He could tell if Max found out about the way Cece was looking at him she would be pissed.

Terminal City (later that night)

Max was sitting at the computer, searching for anything that would give her Logan Cale's whereabouts. Not that's she wanted to find up for any specific reason, it's just that she wanted to thank him, also she wanted to make sure that he really was okay.

"Man, you ready?" Alec said from his spot on ground level. "We need to go looking around before we lose whatever sunlight we have," he said as he grabbed his bag and headed out of the main building.

"Yeah," Max said as she closed down what she was doing. "Let's go," she said as she grabbed her bag and followed him out of the main building.

They walked along the streets of Terminal City on their way to the last building on their list. They had Dix, awhile back; print out a list of all the places where they could possibly find some things that would be of use to them. He did and it had taken them a little over a week to get through the list. Right now they were on the last building.

Alec was the first to walk into the building making sure that no one was waiting inside for them. He and a group of other X5's had went through almost every building in Terminal City weeding out the humans that had found their way in and had survived with the toxic filled air. Every now and then they would find a few that they had missed.

"So what's this building?" Alec asked as they started walking up the stairs.

"Some old genetics lad," Max said. "Dix said we might be able to find some computer equipment here." She said as they entered the room on the top floor that was labeled genetics lab.

"When the ordinaries left, they left a lot of stuff behind, you'll never now what we are bound to find," Alec said as he walked past her and towards a door that he had seen. He went to open it, but nothing it wouldn't even budge. "So…any luck?" he asked.

"Any luck for what?" Max asked confused.

"Trying to find Logan," Max looked at him like a deer caught in headlight. "What you honestly thought I didn't know what you were doing?" he asked. He walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Max I don't care that your looking for him, as long as you don't think you going to leave me for him," Alec said and Max knew he was serious.

"I just want to make sure he's okay," Max said honestly. "Plus, once you've had transgenic you can't go back," Max said with a smirk as she brought her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Liked you'd want to?" Alec said in a sarcastic tone. "Now lets finish looking through this building before it gets dark." He said.

"Alright," Max said as she went back to searching through the stuff on the counter. Alec walked over and opened and little cupboard thing that was on counter. When he opened it he saw a snake inside and jumped back. "What?" Max asked walking over to him. When she saw the snake she left out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "God, why does it feel like White and the Familiars are following us around," Max said. "Let's go," she added and together they walked out of the building.

"White and his Familiars; sounds like a rock band," Alec said as the door closed behind him.

When the door closed someone came out from the room that Alec couldn't open. He went straight over to where the snake was and picked him up. "Aw…did the mean people scare you?" he said to the snake. "The question is what do they know about the Familiars and brother White?" he asked the snake.

Ames White's offices

Ames White was pissed at not only himself but at his employees. For the past two weeks they have been letting too many transgenics go free because they could catch them. The one today was just the icing on a very high cake. Otto came walking through the door.

"Sir," he said and Whit looked at him. "I have something to tell you," he said. "I have found a way to pinpoint the transgenics location in a crowd." He explained. Otto nodded and then three other men came walking into Ames White's office with a TV.

They started setting it up right in front of him. Meanwhile two other men where standing in front of it. White noticed that it was giving off their body heat and it showed it on the screen. "What the point of this Otto?" White asked.

"Bring him out," Otto said. White watched as one of the men disappeared and when he returned he brought with him an X5. White looked at the screen and saw that his two employees heat signatures where red, whereas the transgenics where white.

"Well, I think you've just earned you pay for the week Otto," he said as a smile came across his features. "Get these on the street now," White said as he noticed that his phone was ringing. He went over to where he was sure no one could see or hear him. "White," he said.

"Brother White," the person said. "It appears that we have a problem."

"Priestess," he said. "What's this problem?" White asked.

"Your brother…he has escaped the mental hospital again," she said into the phone. "Find him and make it quick. "Fest es tol," she said as she hung up.

"Fest es tol," White said even though there was no one on the line anymore.

Terminal City

Max was sitting in front of the computer again when Alec got back from his search with Biggs for more humans in Terminal City, the check was become a regular routine. Alec shook his head as he began to walk over to her.

"Max?" he said and when she turned to look at him she smiled.

"Hey," she said turning in her chair so she could look at him. "What's wrong?" she asked when she saw his worried expression.

Alec hung his head before he started to speak. "I think you becoming too obsessed with finding Logan," he said and before she could say anything he continued. "I'm just worried cuz the last few times I've come in here I've seen you on the computer searching for someone how doesn't want to be found," Alec said.

"You don't know that he doesn't want to be found, he could be hurt somewhere," Max said.

"Right," Alec said as he turned and walked away from her. "See ya," he said as he exited the building.

Abandoned building

Alec walked into an abandoned building about a block or so away from Terminal City. When he walked through the door the lights turned on. He nodded his head in approval as he walk further into the building and into a room that was filled with computers.

"Love what you've done with the place," he said as he took a seat.

"I try," the person said computer out from behind the computers. "What's wrong Alec?" the person asked.

"Yeah Max won't stop looking for you…she insists that your hurt and dieing somewhere," he said as he looked at Logan Cale before him. "Just let her know you're alright so she can get back to normal, all she ever does is sit in front of the computer," he explained.

"I didn't even think Max knew how to use a computer," Logan said with a smile.

"Dix taught her," Alec said. "But that's not the point. Please Logan…let her know your okay, she really is worried," Alec said as he stood up. "I'll swing by later with some food," he said as he made his way out of the house.

"You can tell her," Logan said before he left. "Tell her that I'm okay and that I don't want to be found," he said.

"I already tried that but she wont believe me," Alec said.

"Give her this and tell her to watch it." Logan said as he tossed a package at Alec.

"Thanks," Alec said as he walked away from Logan and out of the building.

Crash

Alec had went all the way back to Terminal City just to be told that Max had went to Crash. So he had to turn around and go all the way to Crash, where Max was supposed to be. He hated it when he didn't know where she was.

When he walked into the bar that used to be his old hang out he was her sitting with OC at one of the table. She was drinking a Pepsi, he could tell by the bubbles. Plus Max wouldn't be drinking beer when she was pregnant. He walked over to her and OC got up and left not saying a word to him, which meant that Max was mad at him and she had been venting on OC about her problems.

Alec took a seat across from her. "I know you mad at me, and that you have every right to be, but I'm just looking out for you. I worry about you," he said and she looked up at him. "I'm sorry."

"You don't have anything to be sorry for," Max said. "I let my worry for Logan get in the way of our relationship and when I first started looking I promised myself I wouldn't let that happen," she said. "So where did you go when you walked away from me?" she asked him.

"To see a friend," he said. "This is for you," he said handing it to her. But when she reached for it he noticed something on her skin that he had never noticed before. "What Max, is your barcode not enough?" he joked but he could tell by the look in her eyes that what he was looking at right now was nothing to joke about. "We need to get Dix to look at this," Alec said standing up. Max followed and soon they were on their way back to Terminal City.

Terminal City

Max and Alec came tiring into Terminal City not caring if the hit anyone on the way in. Alec knew they were being over dramatic but with Max and his baby he wasn't about to take any chances. They both rode right up to Terminal City's main building. Max jumped off her bike and ran into the building. Alec meanwhile made sure that both of their bikes were locked up. He knew people wouldn't mess with him, but if something happened to Max's bike she would kill him.

When he entered the main room he saw Joshua running a camera over Max's arm so that the ruins were in the computer just in case the marks left her body. Alec smirked and then went outside for a second to make a phone call to someone he knew could and would help them.

"Any ideas?" Alec heard Max ask when he walked back into the room.

"Sorry Max but I've never seen these before," Dix said. "It might take a little time to figure out what these say and mean." He explained as he looked at her skin. "And they keep on popping up." He added.

"Yeah I already know that thanks." Max said as she pulled up her arm away after she was sure Joshua got them all saved into the computer.

"I think I know someone that can help us," Alec said walking past them and up to the computer, followed by Max and Joshua. He punched in a code and then a picture popped up and Max thought she was going to pass out.

On the screen at that very moment was Logan Cale. The man she had been looking for afraid for his life. "You knew where he was the whole time?" Max asked Alec and he hung his head. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked him. When he didn't answer she said, "TELL ME!"

"Because I asked him not to," Logan's voice said over the computer connection. "I didn't want you to know because I wanted you to move on, have a life with Alec that we could never have had together. It was my way of letting you go and for you to let me go completely." He explained. "Now if you don't mind I'd like to get back to the more pressing issue," he said. "Alec run the camera over the symbols again so I have them saved on my computer."

"Sure thing," Alec said taking the camera from Joshua and then looking at Max before he ran the camera over her skin. "This good?" he asked making sure he was close enough to her arm so he would read it.

"That's perfect," Logan said as he started tapping away on his computer. "I got it all," Logan said as he looked at them through the camera screen. "I'll get back to you guys as soon as I find something," Logan said and then the computer screen went back.

Alec looked at Max. "Max? I can explain." He said as he looked at her.

"I don't want to hear it…Alec you lied to me," she said.

"No I didn't, I just never told you where he was. But only because he DIDN'T WANT ME TO." Alec said becoming angry. Max just nodded and walked away from where he was standing and went over to where Joshua and Dix where standing.

Seattle Market

Biggs couldn't believe that Normal had sent him all the way out here on his last delivery. He had taken most of the deliveries today because Alec had off, why couldn't he have sent Sketchy or someone on it? As he was walking back to his bike he noticed a coffee stand to his right. That was something he hadn't had in a long, long time…coffee.

Sitting in a taxicab was on of White's men holding a terminal scan on the crown in front of him. "I think I got something," he said when he noticed the white person walking on his screen surrounded by a sea of red people. When he looked up he frowned. "Never mind it's just some sick old lady," he said.

Biggs paid for his coffee and then headed out of the coffee stand and toward him bike. The coffee tasted horrible but at least it was better then the stuff he could get a hold of in Terminal City.

The guy in the taxicab was looking at his terminal scan again and he once again saw a white figure among a sea of red. When he looked up he saw a perfectly healthy person walking around with a can of Pepsi. "I think I got someone." He said transferring his data to the main lab.

"That's one of them," came a voice through his earpiece. "All units to sector three." The person said through the walkie-talkie.

Biggs whipped his head around and saw a group of government agents' start chasing after a young looking boy. Biggs zoomed his vision in and saw that he was a transgenic. Biggs being every so smart took off, got on his bike and headed toward Terminal City. He needed to find Max and Alec and he needed to find them soon.

Terminal City

Biggs entered Terminal City's main building and saw Max and Alec standing around the main table. Just then he noticed the news catch on and when they all looked that way they saw the young boy that Biggs had seen walking slowly around people.

"Is that…" Alec started.

"Bullet." Max finished. "We need to go," she said as she looked at Biggs and Alec. "Now." She said. Joshua tossed Biggs a pistol and Dix tossed Alec a shotgun. Both transgenics tucked them behind their jackets and headed for the bikes. Max led the way out of Terminal City.

Seattle Market

By the time the arrived to the place where Biggs had seen the boy they were too late. When they got there all the saw was a burning 'X' and someone hanging above it. When Biggs looked closer he saw that it was the boy.

"Hey what's goin on?" Max asked someone that was passing by her.

"We caught the bastered and now we're going to show them transgenics that they'll never defeat us," he said.

Max looked ahead of her and saw was the guy was talking about. "I can't be here right now," Max, said as she turned and left. Alec looked after her after she left and then back at Biggs.

"So what do you say…payback?" Alec asked.

"Oh yeah," Biggs said as he looked at the scene before him. "Oh yeah."

Terminal City

When Alec and Biggs arrived back to Terminal City they saw some guy in there trying to impersonate an X5. Alec laughed and he was surprised that no one else was laughing. He walked past them and over to Max. He leaned over and whispered 'it's done' into her ear and she nodded.

That's when they all noticed that the senator was on TV and he was talking about what happened to Bullet today.

"I know some of you might think that it was cruel and uncalled for. But these people did what the police are afraid to do; they brought justice down on the transgenics. They showed them that someone will fight against them, and then will win." He paused. "Ladies and gentlemen I know many of you don't want to see it but we are at war, and this is a war that we can not lose," he said before he existed the stage.

"Well that was nice," Alec said as he turned around. "Hey where did that guy go?" he asked. Then he noticed something sitting on the table. He opened and looked it inside and then he looked at Max. "It's for you," he said with a smile.

She walked closer to him and then looked in the bag before jumping back. "You such an ass," she said. Then she remembered. "Hey that's the snake we saw in the genetics lab," she said and then she took off running. Alec didn't even try to follow her.

When she entered the lab she noticed a different sent, something she didn't smell the first time, fear. Then she saw him, lying there on the table. She walked over to him and lifted him up off the table. "Who are you?" she asked. He didn't answer. "Okay we'll try an easier question…why are you here?" she asked.

"Duh…hiding out…just like you," he said as he looked at her.

"From?" she asked.

"Familiars," he said. "They want to lock me away, and don't look at me like that I'm not crazy. They want to do it because my dad wouldn't let me go so he ran away from the whole damn thing…but then they caught me." He said with a touch of sadness. "All my dad was trying to do was keep me alive," he added.

"So your father wasn't into the whole selective breeding so he decided to start gene splicing?" Max asked confused.

"He didn't come here until after the government took over his project." The guy said.

"What project?" Max asked starting to realize.

"Project Manticore…duh," he said. "Haven't you been listening?" he asked.

"I need to meet your father, you think you could set it up?" Max asked starting to get excited.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because I want to know what this says," Max said showing his here ruins.

"Why don't you asked the person that wrote them?" he asked.

"No one wrote them they just POPPED UP!" Max said.

"Really…that's very strange." He said.

"Tell me about it," Max said. "So do you think you can set up that meeting?" she asked him.

"Maybe," he said. "It is very difficult to come into contact with him, he doesn't like to be found," he started saying.

"I know but I have a lot of questions that I need answered," Max said as she looked at the person before her. "What's your name anyway?" she asked.

"C.J," he said.

"Hey C.J, family does thing for each other and you and I are practically family," she said as she looked at him. "So what do you say… contact sandmen and set the met," she said.

"Well when you put it that way," he said and smiled before he walked out of the building and Max didn't even try to stop him.

Some abandoned park

CJ had some how contacted her and told her where to met him so she would be able to met this Sandmen. It took all of Max's energy to keep Alec from coming but Max kept telling him that this is something she needed to do on her own. So Joshua and Biggs got him to stay behind.

"Where is he?" Max asked CJ. They had been sitting there together for little over an hour.

"Dad drives kinda slow," CJ said.

"It drove our mother crazy," A voice said from behind her and when she turned around she saw White and four of his men standing there. "Hello 452," he said.

"Hello brother," CJ said as he walked over to where White was standing.

White's offices

She couldn't believe that she had aloud herself to be tricked so easily she was an X5 damnit. These types of things weren't supposed to happen to her. Right now she was chained to the ceiling and White was talking to the guy, CJ, which had brought her here…the question was…why?

That's when White turned to her with a smirk on his face that even made her skin crawl. "Well, well 452…looks like I finally found you." He said as he walked over to her.

"Not for long…how long until Alec, 494, realizes I'm gone and comes looking for me?" Max asked him.

"Long enough because he'll never find you, you'll be dead long before he realizes you're gone." White said with an evil smile. He reached his hand up slowly. "You know 452 for a freak your not have back, except for this," he said as he placed on of his hands on her slightly swollen belly.

He paused as he looked in her eyes. As he looked her in the eyes he brought his hand up and ripped open her top. "Well look what I found," White said as he began reading them.

"What do they say?" CJ asked from behind his brother. Max's noticed that he was huddled in the corner like a scared puppy.

Max looked at White and waited for an answer. "What do you think they say? They say all of the same stuff that he was spouting off about for years, about how all life is sacred, blah blah blah, and how the meek will inherit the earth, and you know what? The meek will not inherit the earth. The strong will take what is theirs and crush the meek. After our long wait, our time has come," he said looking Max in the eye.

"Do you really need me here for this?" she asked in a sarcastic voice.

"He wanted to destroy everything that we have created, over a five thousand year history," White said ignoring Max's comment and going to her back unzipping her shirt.

"Destry it how?" CJ asked. "How Ames?"

"By creating her," White said coming back in front of her and looking her in the eye once again.

Max looked behind White at CJ his eyes had grown wide. "This changes everything," Max heard him say.

"Now before I end your life where is my son?" he asked but Max didn't answer. Instead she saw a teaser that CJ had somehow gotten a hold off.

CJ brought the teaser to his brother back and kept it on him until he was sure his brother had passed out.

"Not that I min, but why the change of heart?" Max asked.

"Because you're going to save the world," he said with a smile. Then a knock was heard at the door.

"Sir?"

"Yes," CJ said disguising his voice.

"We're ready to transport the prisoners," the person said.

"Five minutes," CJ said.

"You ready?" Max asked and CJ nodded. Max opened the door slowly and then started to walk out. She crept along the boxes until she saw the truck where all the transgenics where being held. "I need to get that truck," Max said and before she could stop him CJ ran out in front of everyone.

Max ran behind him and got into the driver seat. "CJ! Come on!" she yelled for him.

Instead he lifted his arms up when he saw the guns being raised. "Stop! Hi! All done, all done! I was wrong! Mistakes were made here!" he yelled. Before she knew it shots where fired and CJ was on the ground telling her to go. Max started the truck and took off with all the transgenics in the back of the van. She could hear the sound of bullets hitting the have and she was glad that it was bullet proof.

Max and Alec's apartment

Max arrived to Terminal City a little after one in the morning. She went to the main building and she found out where Alec had found them an apartment. They told her that he was over on Oak Street, which was only a block or two away from the main building. Which was good because Max didn't want to be too far away but she didn't want to be that close either. At least now she knew that her and Alec could get to the main building in a hurry.

When she walked into the apartment she slowly took off her jacket. She knew it didn't matter how quiet she was he would still hear her, transgenic hearing. Yet still she tried. She walked into the bathroom, after she found it, and looked herself in the mirror.

CJ called Ames brother and if CJ was Sandmen's son then that means that White is Sandmen's son too. Which also means that White is related to every transgenic that was ever created by Manticore. Because the data that the use is what Sandmen prepared. I wonder what the breeding cult would do if they knew about White's past, or do they already know?

That means that my baby is going to have breeding cult in him, along with transgenic. Yet White and I aren't blood related, just related by association. Max nodded to herself in the mirror before walking out of the bathroom and into the room that she guesses Alec had picked out for their bedroom.

It was a nice looking room; it had a big bay window like the one she had back in her old apartment with OC. Somehow Alec had gotten them a king size bed so there was plenty of room. Max walked over and sat on the bed next to her lover and mate, 494.

"It's about time you decided to come to bed," Alec said. "How long where you standing there anyway?" he asked her. Max just smiled and cuddled up next to him. She didn't know what she would have done if he had never walked into her cell a little under a year ago.

AN: Okay I am going to follow this update so don't worry. The reason I missed the last one is because I scheduled it for my graduation, which I couldn't miss. I tried to write it at two in the morning, but I didn't want to post junk so I waited and decided to rewrite it.

NEXT UPDATE JUNE 29TH.
