A/N: Here's the sixth chapter… please also check out my other story…it's called Disasters in Science, it's a dark angel story…it's about a Manticore scientist that…well, I can't tell you…you'll have to see for yourself…please check it out…anyway, enough of me, here's the story…
Chapter 6: Escape-Continued
Max sat alone in the room…not like she could do anything else. White had left not long ago after trying to find the whereabouts of his son. He truly cared…
The lights were off again, so she couldn't tell how badly the cuts and bruises were, but she had a pretty good idea. White wouldn't give up. He knew she knew, but Max couldn't tell him. She hoped for someone to come soon…maybe Alec was still alive…he would be the best to go against White…no one but White knows his face. Logan would just get himself hurt…and Joshua…does he even know I'm gone?
***
He picks up a signal from White's cell. Logan, Alec, and Joshua quickly leave the apartment. They follow the signal in Logan's van. They reach the shore and see several abandoned warehouses. It was silent…at least to the human ears. It was near dark. No one was in sight. An eerie wind blew through the night sky. They continued to walk along the empty street.
The signal was coming from one of the warehouses but which one? It had long since disappeared. Only a red dot from one of Logan's markers remained. They would have to wait for another signal or trust their instincts. Using his super sense of smell, Joshua sniffed around, hoping to catch onto a trail from Max. Alec used his hyper-hearing to listen for their voices. Logan remained on his laptop waiting to pick up another signal.

White exits the room where he held Max. If only she wasn't so stubborn and told me where Ray was, she'd be in a lot better state than she is now. I really hate it when those transgenics make me go this far, but once I start, I can't stop. It must be something that runs in the cult. I'd better ask the Conclave about it. If I don't find Ray soon, they won't be very happy. Anyone who fails the test is not supposed to survive…why am I saying this? He's alive! He's not dead…he can't be…can he? White stops to think of the chances. He felt that he was alive, yet they say he's dead…he must find the truth. Ray's disappearance was really beating him up inside. Everyday, he thought of Ray, one day hoping to find him…alive. They would then lead a normal life: he would be the father and Ray, the son. They would play football in the backyard and go watch the basketball game on TV. He would teach Ray everything he would need to know for the Coming too. They would make such a great team and please the Conclave for sure. But everyday, he wonders whether his dream will come true. All this confusion seems to build up in his heart. All this sadness leaves when a transgenic is found. And all the madness makes their mark on all the victims Manticore made.
When he stepped out of the room, he was greeted by Otto, his most trusted friend. Too bad their trust wasn't as deep as it should have been.
"We just did a thermal scan. It appears that we have two transgenics very close by."
"Have you been able to identify them?"
"Not yet, sir. They are working on it right now. I sent some men to go retrieve them."
"Good. I'll catch up with you I a few minutes…I need to go put away some files."
Once Otto was in out of sight, White's cell rang, just as he expected…

Alec, Logan, and Joshua continue to explore the warehouses. They hear footsteps in the distance…
~~~Yes! Double cliffhanger…I think. I'll stop soon…when I run out.~~~
