Chapter 7: Return

Logan's apartment

Zach arrived at Logan's apartment right after leaving the motel empty handed. Max was still missing and he was becoming more and more frustrated. Max, the women carrying his son, was missing and he didn't know what to do…and he always knew what to do.

Zack walked into the apartment and was attack by two very excited transgenics. "You guys are early," Zack said as he pushed them away from him. "I wasn't expecting you till tonight," he finished as he walked into the kitchen to find himself a strong drink.

"Well we decided to come and surprise you and Maxie…where is Maxie?" they asked as they looked around for their younger sister.

Zack hung his head in shame because he couldn't bare to look into their eyes and tell them that he failed in protecting the most beloved person in their unit…that he failed to protect the one person he ever truly loved.

"She's gone…" Logan said as he walked into the room. "Lydecker has her…she was captured on a failed rescue mission for Tinga." Logan said that last part with a look at Zack as if trying to make hi feel worse than he already felt…it was working. "Now the question isn't where is Max? The question is how do we get her back?" Logan addressed the group.

"We can use the people that Lydecker used to tracked her…they said they had a signal of that implant in the back of her brain…right?" Zack asked Logan coming out of his state of self pity.

"Yeah…now we need to find out where this van is stationed," Krit said from behind Syl. "We find the van we find Max," Krit finished.

"And my son," Zack said.

Max's apartment

Zack walked up the stairs to the apartment he now shared with Max. He told the group to meet him at a abandoned warehouse in an hour, he need to pick up some things. When he opened the door he noticed that the whole apartment smelled like her…as if she was still there…almost like she never left.

Zack walked over to their bedroom and looked out the window until he went over to the wall and started ripping it apart. In the wall is where he hind his weapons since Max didn't like guns and she told him that she didn't want guns in her apartment.

When he came walking out of the bedroom he was shocked when he saw OC standing there looking at him with her hands on her hips. "Now you go and bring back him girl," she told him.

All Zack did was nodded and then turned and walked the other way. There was no way that he was getting anywhere near Lydecker and not bringing Max back…after all that is the mission plan.

Abandoned Warehouse

Zack, Krit, Syl, and Logan where all sitting at a small table messing with an assortment of weapons, getting ready to go break Max out. Zack was in his own little world…he didn't want to deal with anyone because he was too upset over to having Max by his side. Aside from being the women he loved she was also his second in commend.

Just as he was about to go into he back a black humvey came ramming through the door. And as soon as it stopped Max jumped out with a big smile on her face. "Miss me?" she asked as she walked to the back door of the truck and opened pulling out the man that spent ten years hunting them down…Lydecker.
