AN: Well here is chapter nine for you guys to enjoy. It's not my best chapter but I hope that won't stop you from reading my story. I would of have this chapter up on Saturday but I was having some problem with uploading my story. I'm really trying to put some action or keep stuff interesting so you guys won't get bored. I hope you're bored already. But I'm trying to get as much need to know information out or whatever I'm doing so you'll know what's going on. Again I really hope you're not bored.
AN: If you guys have some ideas please tell me. Enough with the chit chat, on with the story.
Alec walks in the dark tunnel leading up to Joshua's. He really wasn't in the mood in seeing Logan and knowing Logan, he probably doesn't want to see him either. I mean he is the one who stole his girl right from under him, supposedly. But all things considered, he has to do this, if not for himself for Minx and Missy. And of course Max being that she'll find out and would want to find out herself. Transgenics aren't supposed to get sick or have slightly high fever. They have strong immunity against sickness and diseases, which is one of the reasons they were design for. So out of curiosity he would want to know why a perfectly engineered woman is lying in the infirmary with a fever. And if to find out means you have to go to the woman's not-like-that-boyfriend-but-i-love-with-him-but-we-can't-be-together-so-i-have-fake-a-relationship-to-keep-him-safe- boyfriend, then so be it. It's not going to be easy but he can handle it. When he got to the door, he could hear voices, a man and woman voice. He slips into the room only to hear Logan and Asha engage in a conversation. The sound of two glasses hitting each other pecks him up to hear what kind of conversation they were in. He leans against the wall closer to the room they are in to fully hear.
"Score one for the S1W for a job well done. We couldn't have done this without Logan thanks."
"You're welcome, anything to help out a friend."
"Specking of friends, how's Max and Alec? How are they holding up?"
"Good I suppose, they barely come around to visit except when they need something. I'm glad to help but some of the things they need can be a hassle."
"And how are you holding up?"
"I'm hanging in there. It's no fun when you're in hiding and the only contact is two transgenics with a whole city to worry about. Especially for a guy who is in love with one of them but she's with another guy, who by the way stole her from me right under my nose."
"Can't help but feel sorry for you Logan but with time you'll heal. Besides they are not the only contact you see, I'm here and I see you more then they do."
"Yeah and I thank you for that. I could go another day with out someone I can talk to cooped up in this house I'm living in."
"Yeah, listen Logan, I know you're still in mourning and I respect that but maybe Max was right in letting you go. I mean she put you in danger because of what she is and there are a lot of people after her. Plus with this virus that can kill you if you so much as touches her hair. Maybe Alec is what best for her right now being he is a transgenic too. She was right in letting you go to move on with your life, maybe find love with someone else."
"I can't help what I feel for Max to love someone else right now."
Logan is so obsess with Max and their lost relationship that he doesn't see the woman in love with him right in front of him, Alec thought still listening.
"All I know is that Max still loves me but Alec put in her mind that we're not supposed to be together and Max couldn't say no, being the predicament they're in."
Yeah you would blame me even though what you said is true. But I also said it because I love Max and didn't want to see her hurt if something should happen to you. Whoa did I just say I love Max? I have to get out of here.
Alec went back to the door he came in from and open then close it. Load enough for Logan and Asha to know that he just arrive here. He walks into the room with a pasted smile on his face.
"Hey Logan, Asha," he greeted.
"Alec," Logan forced.
Alec ignore the angry glare Logan was sending him and looked over where the computer was, with two wine glasses and a pre-pulse wine stood.
"What's with the wine, you guys celebrating or something?"
"Or something," another comeback form Logan, which Alec is getting tired of.
You see this is why I never come with Max to see Logan. He's clearly holding a grudge toward me for something I really shouldn't be into in the first place. But I can't tell him that, this is all to protect his sorry ass.
"Listen I need you to take a look at something and it's really important. Maybe get your doctor friend to take a look at it," Alec said to the point as he hand Logan the syringe and paper.
"Why didn't Max come and give it to me herself? You done screwed up something and figure I would help you without Max knowing," he asks eyeing the syringe with the blood.
"Listen Logan we could hate each other forever for all I care but right now isn't the time for hatred spat. I need your help in analyzing that blood. And since you're wondering Max doesn't know about this. I got this while she was in a meeting so would you just lay off and help me."
Logan looks up at Alec with narrowed eyes before looking back at the syringe again. Asha was sipping her wine while looking at the syringe herself.
"Whose blood is it," Logan finally asked.
"An X5 name Missy, she has a fever and is in some kind of sleep state. Minx doesn't know what is wrong with her."
"I thought you guys can't…," Asha started.
"Yeah we can't, that is why we need help in figuring out why Missy is the way she is."
"I can run it by Carr and see what he thinks about it. I hope it isn't serious."
"Yeah me too that is why we need to hurry up and find out what's wrong in case it get around. And also before I forget any word on the medical supply Max ask you about?"
"I called a friend of mine; he said he is going to report to me back at the end of this week about it. If all is good, you'll have it by next week Tuesday."
"That's good and could you keep it on the DL from Max. I don't want her worrying about this when we have other things to worry about too."
"Right those four cops, any idea if it's yours or White," Asha jumps in.
"White definitely but I wouldn't rule out the possibility it could be one of our own. I mean Max did let out some nasty things."
"And you would know that," Logan said getting back to his pestering ways.
Alec couldn't help but roll his eyes. He would hit him but for Max and Asha sake he didn't. A door closing behind him causes him to turn around to see a down case Max heading this way.
"Logan have you seen…what are you doing here," she said finally looking up only to frown upon Alec.
"Just came here to ask Logan about the medical supplies nothing to worry about," he answered. "In fact I was just leaving." He move pass her to move toward the door.
Max watch with concern as he leaves. She turns back to Logan and then Asha when the woman took another sip out of her wine glass.
"Did I interrupt something here," she asks.
"No Alec was just asking about the supplies and Asha and I was just celebrating a success with one of the S1W's money problem at the bank."
"Oh, well I was going to ask you about the news today, see can you see what the police have on the situation. See can you get an autopsy or something. I want to see how those cops were killed. Maybe we can see if this is White doing or not."
"I can see what I can do."
"Okay, what's that," she points to the syringe in his hands.
"Oh this, this is just blood from another S1W case we're working on nothing to serious I hope."
"Okay well I'll let you gets to it then."
"Okay"
"Okay, bye."
Max left in a hurry leaving Logan and Asha to look at the syringe Alec gave him.
………
Max caught up with Alec in the tunnel as he walks calmly back to TC.
"You wasn't at the meeting today, Mole said you wasn't feeling good. Care to explain why you'd lied and at Logan's?"
"I didn't lie and I told you why I was at Logan's."
"Yeah about the medical supplies but what about the blood, care to explain that."
"It's nothing; I just wanted Logan to check something for me for a friend."
"Really, is the said friend part of the S1W because Logan told me it was part of his project with Asha?" She grabs onto the sleeve of his jacket to halt him in his walking and face her. "Is the blood yours? Are you okay what's wrong," she eye him all over.
Surely if he was in his right mind, he would have told gave Logan a lie to tell Max in case she asks but he wasn't. He was piss off at Logan for what he said and Max had to show up afterwards. He just wanted to get out of there. He didn't want to see Max yet knowing she'll want question about what happen today in her office which he doesn't have the answer to yet. Plus to top it all off the problem with Missy had to join in with their- oh so many added problem. But if Max wants to think it's his then who is it to stop her from it.
"It just a test Max nothing to worry about."
"Alec what happen earlier is alright nothing to be ashamed of. I'm not hurt and some of us resort to our instinct sometimes when provoke, its natural."
"Not for me it isn't Max. Instinct or not I attack you for no apparent reason and I don't want it to happen again. So if by testing my blood to see if there's a solution then so be it. Maybe it'll be a good thing if Logan doctor friend find something. Then they could find something to cure it."
"Alec there's nothing wrong with you; you're not going to turn out like Ben if that's what you're thinking."
It wasn't but I'll go with it, he thought looking at Max. But he caught the seriousness in her eyes and thought better of it.
"No Max it's not what I was thinking. The truth is…"
He was interrupted by the door to the tunnel opening and an X8 was standing in front of it. He didn't notices they were walking again until the door open.
"Alec Minx needs to see you ASAP. She said to meet her in the training room."
"Okay thanks," Alec said stepping out of the tunnel and heading to the training room. Max was right behind him.
"Alec what's going on," Max bellows while moving to his side.
He didn't answer as they reach the room. Minx along with another transhuman was standing in the middle of the room watching Missy leap from one rope to another, climbing and twisting in them.
"Minx what's going on, I thought she was sick," Alec announced at her side.
"I thought so too but when I went to check on her, she was up and not running a fever. She told me she was fine and jump off the stretcher heading here. I don't know what happen."
They all watch as Missy climb off the rope and runs up to them with a smile on her face.
"How are you feeling Missy," Alec asks.
"I feel great, stronger, better. I almost feel good as new."
"That's good but why don't you go with Minx and have her check you over just in case."
"Do I have to; I don't feel sick or anything."
"Just to be on the safe side."
She pouts as they left for the infirmary leaving only Alec and Max.
"What was that about," Max asks looking at him.
"It's a long story."
"Well make it short," she put her hands on her hips.
……………..
"So that is why she has you looking over these interviews," Biggs ask once Alec got through telling his story.
"Yeah her punishment for me lying to her twice in one day or was it three times. I don't know I lost count after the whole incident with Missy."
Biggs just laugh at his friend while he sat in a chair in Alec's office. Alec was going over the interviews Max and CeCe did earlier and some of the file Minx had on some of the people here she think could have a problem, but it isn't much. Mainly about two file from Minx.
"So are you going to tell me about your absent today? And what's with that "not feeling well" crap you had Mole to tell us. Did something happen between Max and you today?"
"You don't know how right you are on that my friend," Alec answered without looking from his papers.
"So tell me? Wait let me guess. You did something stupid which upset Max and now she want to kick your ass, but instead of kicking your ass she put you on paper duty."
"More like I went primal on her and tried avoiding her from kicking my ass. But in up getting caught in a lie, which she put me on paper duty."
"Did this happen after you told me to leave you and Max alone? I was meaning to ask you about that, what happen?"
"Gabe is what happened. The guy is a total jerk and he just doesn't know when to stop jerking around. We almost got in it in the bar but I left. That is when I went to Max's and went 494 on her."
"That's something, strange to say at least."
"Yeah and the funny thing is I don't know why I went after Max. I was mad at Gabe not Max. The more I think about it, it wasn't much of an attack. More like me pushing Max to a desk going for the kill at her neck, well back or her neck. May have been some touching but that's about."
"Uhm, that is strange but our instinct never steer us wrong before maybe your instinct is telling you something."
"What that I should kill Max? No I don't think so, they are wrong in this occasion."
"You think so? I remember watching TV once, a documentary on discovery channel about a lion family and their many challenges. Especially in this one part where the male lion was getting all defensive when another lion show up on his territory. You should have seen the part when mating season started and this lion was trying to keep this one lion from going after one of his lioness, so he…"
"What does this have to do with me," Alec said finally looking up from his work.
"Nothing, I'm just making conversation."
Alec just shrugs his shoulders and went on with his work. More than you now, Biggs thought to himself.
"You know speaking about Gabe; we should keep an eye out on him. Since he showed up, things been happening and I think he might have something to do with it, though I'm not sure about the cops' murder part."
"You're sure this has nothing to do with your hatred towards the guy," Biggs asks.
"Oh I hate him alright but I think we should still keep an eye out."
"You're the boss, dully noted."
…….
"I like the touch that filth did with the cops but he better has not got caught pulling that prank," White said sitting in his chair.
Otto was standing in front of him with his arms behind him in prefect at ease posture.
"I'm sure he has an excuse for it sir."
"He better or he's dead the next time we meet. Well he's already dead once he gets us inside the city. Him and all his menace freaks."
"What about the concoction you gave him sir? It makes him stronger and if he has been giving his friends some then…"
"I know Otto and I have a solution for that. Thanks to the great doctor of the drug, the transgenics won't know what will hit them. That if that stupid ape didn't administer the entire drug to all of his kind. I want at least a fight when we come storming in there."
"And our version of the drug sir?"
"Already taking care of, Otto. If that moron haven't back down on our deal, there will be a war in good old Terminal City."
AN: Was it alright? Again I will try to keep things interesting but please don't stop reading it. Review and let me know what you think.
