Part 10

Max went to the address Logan had given her. It was an old warehouse. Max was the first one to enter the building; Dix and the gang were in the background. They didn't want Lydecker to see them until they had planned. Too much was depending on the plan.

Lydecker wasn't there yet so Max waited. She looked around searching for other ways out. But there weren't any.

Finally Lydecker arrived with Logan and the two Bimbos who were fighting with Logan before.

"Long time no see, Donny." Max said when he entered the building.

"Max, good to see you. You look great. You don't seem surprised to see me?"

"Cut the crap, Lydecker. I know you captured Logan. And I know about Alec and Claire. Sorry but the plan was to get you alone."

"I imagined that, but I'm not alone. Those two boys here are the future. They are the best from the new Y-series. They are stronger than X-types. You can't fight them." Lydecker said.

"You are very sure about your dolls, aren't you? But don't underestimate me."

"I wouldn't, but I know what you can do Max. Remember, I taught you. You are my little baby. I know your strength and your weaknesses. And believe me even if you gained more strength since you left Manticore you wouldn't be able to fight one of them, let alone two. They are just too powerful for you."

"Ready to try it? I love some good competition and some extra training wouldn't do any harm, would it?" Max said, getting ready to fight.

"Do you have a death-wish, Max?" Logan asked, the first time he spoke since they had arrived. He didn't know about her secret plan.

"Well Logan, what do you care? You have your little dirty secrets and I have mine." Tony knew that Max was playing a cover but he didn't know what she was trying to tell him. He just had to be careful and watch all of her steps.

Back at the Transgenic HQ

Gibbs paced the room. He didn't like to be left behind when something big was going down. Especially not when one of his agents was involved.

"Jethro, sit down. You are going to make me crazy." Kate said.

"I can't just sit down. I need to do something."

"I know how you feel. I would like to be there, too. But you know that Max will get him back and believe me the both of us would only be a burden for them. Like Max told us, most of them were trained to do something like that. They know what they are doing."

"I know. It's just…. I don't know. I need some coffee." Gibbs said grabbing his coat and going down to the front door.

"Jethro, you are not doing this. I know you too well. They can handle the situation without us."

"I don't know what you mean, Kate. I was just going for some coffee. You want some, too?"

"I'm coming with you, so you won't do anything you'll regret one day."

Kate went to Joshua and told him where they were heading. Then she joined Gibbs who waited impatiently.

"You don't even know where to go, Jethro." Kate stated.

"I called Abbs for the address. It's not far from here. We'll take a cab, okay."

"I knew it. We're getting into big trouble, but who cares?"

back at the warehouse

"Are your toys going to do anything else than that?" Max asked Lydecker. The two Y-Types hadn't moved since they arrived. "You know this is getting boring, Donny."

"They are just waiting for my command. Are you sure you want to do this. You know I always liked you the best. I saw that you were something special."

"Oh yeah, the cat worked best with me. Good cocktail for your new class? But not with me. I'm not going to go with you without fight."

"Not even for Mr. Cale? I knew you were friends back in Seattle. Even more than friends. And I know that you are carrying a deadly virus, which stops you from being with him. But like I told Mr. Cale I have the anti-serum. When you come with me, I will give you a shot and you can be with him?"

"And why should I do that? When you take me with you, I won't see Logan again. Sorry buddy." Max said getting ready to attack her opponents.

"Max, don't do this. I know what they are capable of. You can't win this fight even if you are the best fighter I know." Tony pleaded, not wanting Max to get hurt.

"Logan, trust me. I know what I'm doing. And you will see. I will win this fight." Max looked into Tony's eyes, seeing all his love for her.

"So Donny. First thing, let Logan go. You have what you want… me. He has nothing to do with it."

Reluctantly he let go of Tony, even if Tony would more thank likely stay. If he was going to loose his girlfriend he would at least spent her last minutes with her.

"Logan, please wait outside. I promise to get you, when I'm done with these two dolls. Okay?" Tony had nothing more to say, so he went outside, even if he hated doing that.

inside a cab

"Do you think we will get there in time?" Kate asked.

"I don't know. We left shortly after Max, so we could get lucky and get there in time. I don't really know what they had panned but a sure thing is, Tony won't like it. So we can be there for him, at least."

The cab stopped in front of the warehouse. Gibbs paid the driver and went with Kate to the front door.

It was a pitch-black, so they didn't see where the voice was coming from. "What are you doing here? Max told you to stay at the headquarters." The voice said and stopped them from entering. Gibbs could tell it was Dix.

"These are my friends, too. And I'm not going to sit around while both of them are fighting down here. We won't interfere with your plans; we just want to be there for them. Okay?"

"Okay, but you will stay out here away from trouble. Understood?" Kate and Gibbs only nodded, being a little bit frightened of this creature.

At this moment the door opened and someone was pushed out.

"Tony, are you alright?" Kate asked worried.

"Alright? I'm fine! Max is the one I'm worried about."

"She can take care of herself, Tony." Gibbs stated.

"Normally she can, but the two bimbos in there are too much for her. I'm going back inside."

"And doing what?" Kate asked. "Max can fight better if she knows you are safe."

"But I'm not going to sit here, while my girlfriend is getting beat up in there. I'm afraid she will die without any help. So let me go, will you?" Tony pleaded.

"I certainly will not! You are in no shape to help her. You are beaten up, too and I'm sure you haven't had anything to eat or drink since you were captured. You will only screw things up." Gibbs tried to convince Tony.

"But she needs my help, or…" Tony broke down in tears, afraid of losing Max.

"We are going to help her, like it was planned. If you excuse us now, we have some asses to kick." A voice said out of nowhere. Tony hadn't noticed the gang in front of the building, but he recognized the voice.

"Dix, is that you?"

"Long time, no see Logan"

"I was never so happy to see you, like I am now. Now I understand what Max was trying to tell me."

Gibbs and Kate looked at him confused. "Care to share your thoughts?" Gibbs asked.

"Sorry, Boss. When Max came in, she said something about secrets we all have. Abby called you, didn't she? Well that was my secret and Max has her backup as a secret. Clever girl." Tony smiled one of his million dollar smiles. "Now everything will be fine."

With that said first Mole and Dix went inside the building to help Max. Of course Lydecker's two were more than surprised when they were captured from behind. Max put up a good fight both of them look horrible. Max looked beaten up too, but not as bad as her attackers.

The fight was going on for about twenty minutes. Both parties were slowly wearing themselves out. But Max and her friends were better and they were larger by number since other members of the gang had joined the fight, too. They ruled Lydecker out. Max, Mole and Dix looked down at the losers. They would never fight again.

Lydecker had hidden in the far corner of the building but now he had to come out again.

"I must tell you, you did a good job by training them. Not an easy task fighting them."

"Thanks Max. You can do something like that, too." Lydecker said.

"Oh really? How? By working with you on your little evil plan? By giving birth to your new generation? Well, you really don't know if you think I would do something like that."

"You almost did it once."

"I was forced to. I was kidnapped by you and forced to conceive a baby with a guy I hardly knew, just for one further experiment. But Manticore doesn't exist any more because of my friends and me. We are all free people now; you can't force us to do anything for you, you bastard."

"You sure you don't want to cooperate with me? Jeopardize the life of your friends? Logan?"

"My friends can take care of themselves and like you perfectly well know, Logan and I can't be together thanks to you. So why worry about him?"

"I don't give a shit. He stayed in touch with you and you came after him. So tell me, you don't have feelings for him."

"Just to straighten things out. He didn't stay in contact with me. I contacted him a few days ago because of my missing friends. Well, we figured out you were the cause for that and so we put together this little act. I don't care what happens to him." Max lied.

"So you don't mind if I destroy the last of the anti-serum, do you?"

"Need a helping hand?" She asked grinning. "So since we cleared everything, I'm going back to my old life. Hope to never see you again." Max said and turned to leave.

"We will meet again. I promise you, I will follow you until you work for me."

"That will never happen. I rather destroy your lab again and believe me this time I will do it properly. Nothing will be left. Just keep that in mind. I will destroy you, Colonel Lydecker." With this said Max, followed by Mole and Dix, left.

TBC…

More to come soon, or so I hope. Did you like it? Tell me about it.
