RPGirl17: True. Alec wouldn't do what he did. There's a reason behind it though…you'll see.
Avelyn Lauren: I've been trying to create stories with suspense. I'm not too good at it though so it probably won't be often that a chapter will end as a cliffhanger. lol. I haven't actually thought much of the outcome. I'm just writing as I go. It's going to be a Max and Alec story, but not like a romantic story…I don't like to write those.
Chapter 5: Escape
Moments later, Max awoke. It was dark; she couldn't see anything. From the sound of things, she was in a building near the sea. She tried to move but chains held her back. She was really getting tired of this. Moments later, the lights flickered on to reveal a large room with empty boxes. She figured she was in an abandoned warehouse near the sea. She heard the door open. Although she wasn't able to see who entered, she had a pretty good idea it was White. It was.

Alec began heading back home. What am I doing? The fall must have changed my thoughts…or maybe something else did…I must go save Max…He turned around and went back to Joshua's.
When he arrived at Joshua's house, he found Joshua moping around. When he asked what was wrong, he told Alec that White took Max. Alec and Joshua took off for Logan's place.

"Looks like I finally caught you, 452."
"Took you long enough. Why this time? I've been right in front of you SO many times."
"I decided now was the right time."
"Sure, who told you this all of a sudden? You're breeding cult buddies? Or were you just not good enough before? You know, I'm not planning on staying here. Save yourself some trouble and let me go now."
"After all the trouble I went through to get you here? Why are you so certain you are leaving?"
"I have friends, unlike you."
"You're friends are gone. Just thought I'd let you know."
Even though White was bluffing, she still had heard Alec fall…but Joshua would come through, won't he…or did White get him, too?

Alec and Joshua arrived at Logan's house. It wasn't a pleasant journey. Many kept walking by, coughing insults or rude phrases. Logan welcomed them in right away. Seeing both at one time wasn't common, but not uncommon either.
"Hey Alec…Joshua."
"Logan…Max's been kidnapped."
He motioned for them to sit down. They did.
"Ok. Tell me everything that happened," Logan calmly said, hiding his fear.
"We were leaving Joshua's place. Max and I turned the corner. White just stood there, waiting for us. I don't know how he found her address, but he did. We fought up on the rooftop. I tried to jump across, but didn't jump far enough. I fell and grabbed onto a laundry line. The guard I threw off at the same time landed on the ground. Unfortunately, it was one of White's breeding cult buddies," Alec explained.
"What happened after that?"
"Well, I'm not quite sure. I couldn't see what was going on at the rooftop, but I heard Max yell. Then it was silent. Later on, I think Joshua got into a fight with White trying to get Max back," Alec turned to look at Joshua, who nodded.
"White drive car with Max so I can't save her," Joshua said apologetically.
"That's ok, Joshua. We'll get her back," Logan reassured.
"How are we gonna find White?"
"Eyes Only may have a way. He's also making sure this goes public."
"Good idea, Logan," Alec playfully said. "That way, the other transgenics know White is still up and about."
Logan does his Eyes Only hack reporting a kidnapping of a transgenic by an evil NSA agent. Then he searches for a signal from White's cell phone (he still had the information on White's cell from the last time he hacked into one of his calls). He found a signal…
