Logan slowly sat down on the couch next to Rachel. She looked a little like Alec, the hair. But her eyes were lighter. He figured she must have got those from her mothers side.

"Hi," She waved when she noticed him looking at her.

"Hey," He said back a little awkwardly. He wished Max had told him, not like he really cared what Alec did but Max cared about the little girl and he wished she'd told him. She'd been busy, with TC and everything, trying to put up a good image for the government. Maybe it just slipped her mind. Of course though a child was pretty hard to forget?

"Where is Daddy," The little girl asked tugging on his shirt sleeve. Logan jumped a little, he hadn't even noticed her move closer to him.

"He-He's out with Max doing work," Logan explained with a small frown.

"When is he coming back," She pushed.

"Um I'm not sure. Soon I hope," Logan sighed deeply, turning to the little girl.

She didn't look satisfied at all but she turned back to the TV, pouting. Where did Alec even get this kid, Sure the guy was known for numerous one night stands, but this toddler looked only about two years old, Alec would have been at Manticore. It takes nine months for the baby, an Alec's been out of Manticore for about a year now.. everything was so messed up.

"Do you have Cheerios," She asked snapping him out of his thoughts. Fiddling with the hem of her orange dress.

"I don't know, wanna go check," He asked her. She nodded and hoped off the couch, then grabbed Logan's hand and waited for him to steer them in the right direction.

Alec stared out the van window, watching the city turn into country. Max told him the girls were being shipped out some where and were being held at the air port. Alec felt sick for so many reasons, number one being he was about to go rescue some girls who were pulled out of one nightmare just to be tossed into a new one, and number two being that he'd just left his little girl at Logan's. Logan was a good guy, he'd protect her, or at least Alec hoped. He wasn't exactly Logan's favorite guy after the whole 'pretend boyfriend' thing.

"Alec stop worrying. I need you to pay attention," Max sighed, punching him lightly in the shoulder.

Alec said nothing just scowled at her, this was partly her fault. If she had given him a heads up he could have found someone else to babysit Ray.

"Give me the details," Alec mumbled.

Max frowned at him before reciting the information Logan gave her. A group of guys had gotten there hands on some tasers and were kidnapping young transgenic girls. Transgenics were pretty, Manticore made sure, and people wanted them.. and that was what made Alec sick. The girls were being held at an air port and were being shipped out of the country tonight. The plan was to slip in quietly, grab the kids, then slip out and make an anonymous phone call to the Seattle police.

"Sick freaks," Alec said through gritted teeth, "and they have the nerve to call us the monsters!"

Anomaly's, was the first thing that came to Alec's mind, what Manticore used to identify the monsters from the soldiers.

Logan couldn't find any Cheerios, much to Rachel's displeasure. What he did find though were pasta noodles. When he asked Ray what she wanted to eat she replied 'Pasta with jam sauce' Logan immediately moved on to the next item in the fridge.

They ended up sitting at Logan's kitchen table, Rachel sitting on a pile of books, eating grilled cheese.. that's the only thing he could get her to eat.

"So," Logan began, "Where's your mommy," He asked slowly.

"She's in heaven," Rachel stated, swinging her legs back in forth in her chair.

'Huh, OK' Logan thought, that explains how Alec got stuck with her. Logan wondered if Alec knew about the baby before, Alec wasn't the most responsible guy, but surly he wouldn't abandon whoever this girls mother was.

"Well, how old are you," Logan asked again. Alec probably wouldn't bring her around again so he might as well get as much information as he could.

"This many," She replied holding up two fingers.

This kid seemed older to Logan, possibly since she had transgenic blood pumping through her. Every so often her eyes would lock on something outside that was pretty far away, so she must have her fathers cat DNA pumping through her.

"Are you and Max twitterpeated," She asked bluntly, munching on her sandwich.

Wait.. What.

Sneaking on to an airplane in broad daylight was surprisingly easy. They knocked out the guard and the rest of the staff was on break, so all they had to do was get in and out. Max also thought they should take pictures for evidence.

She was outside keeping watch and Alec was getting the girls. He assumed they were being kept in the cargo hold, which was where he was now, climbing over different things trying to get to them. In the back was where Alec heard the whimpering, He peaked over a large crate, and there they were.

Girls no older than Dalton were huddled in the corner. Anger filled him, but he pushed it down. One girl with red hair noticed him first, he eyes widened in fear and she backed up against the wall, followed by the others.

"No no, Hey I'm here to help you. My designations X5-494," He explained climbing over the crate to get to them. Once he was over he turned slightly and brushed his hair away from his neck, pulling down the collar of his jacket so they could she his barcode.

All the girls sighed in relief, trusting now that they knew he was one of them.

"Come on. I'm going to lift you guys out one by one. Go outside and you'll see my friend Max. She'll tell you what to do next," He ordered gently.

The girls nodded and one by one he lifted them up over the crate. He reached down for the last girl and stopped. She had blond hair that would curl if it was washed, bright blue eyes and freckles with long eye lashes. He felt even more sick, but anger over ruled it. He didn't want to leave an anonymous phone call, he wanted to rip out the problem at it source. Noticing the little girl staring at him he swallowed his feelings like Manticore taught him. Letting 494 seep to the surface.

"Come on kiddo lets get you outta here," He said quietly with a small tight smile, lifting the girl up and placing her on the crate to climb down on the other side, then he followed her.
