Chapter 13

Alec bursted into Logan's apartment, again holding an unconscious Max it was becoming a habit he didn't like. He'd called OC and Logan from Otto's car and told them to get Dr Carr as Max's needs a blood transfusion straight away. Alec had beat the Doctor to the apartment but O.C reassured him that he was on his way. Alec carried Max through to the bed room, laying her down on the bed. He heard OC gasp in shock, he couldn't blame her. Max was pale and lifeless, she had several puncture marks around her body, where they had drawn blood from her. Logan had a small first aid box that OC was holding. What Max really need was blood, Alec could give her a direct transfusion but there was nothing in the box that could be used to do that so he and OC got to work cleaning and dressing her wounds until Dr Carr arrived.

Luckily they didn't have to wait long . OC and Alec had only just started cleaning Max's many wounds when he came in.

"Oh my god what happened?"

"Looks like hemorrhagic shock doc. They wanted her blood, shes lost a lot!" Alec informed him.

Dr Carr immediately opening his doctors bag and began taking out the equipment need for a transfusion. "I'm assuming your a universal donor just like Max?

"Yeah doc hook me up, she can't wait she needs it now."

Dr Carr wasn't going to argue he could see how seriously ill Max was. Once he found a vein in Max, he setup Alec on the chair next to the bed and began the transfusion. Now that Max was receiving the blood she needed, Dr Carr took over from OC cleaning dressing her wounds.

"There is nothing else we can do now?" Dr Carr said as he had finished cleaning up Max.
"What can we do now Sam?" Logan asked he had waited at the doorway, he couldn't risk getting near Max.

"We just have to wait. I won't know what damage has been caused unless I take her to the hospital and ran some tests and we all know that out of the question."The doctor replied.

" Damage!" OC was very distressed at the news. "What kind of damage are we talking about!"

"A lack of blood and fluid in your body can lead to damage to your organs like your kidney's or brain; it could also cause gangrene in the arms or legs or even a heart attack. But Max is an X-5 I'm sure with Alec giving her a transfusion her accelerated healing will kick in and hopeful she recover without any complications" he tried to reassure her.

Otto had followed Alec in with Max but no one had really paid attention to him until now.
"Who the hell are you!" Oc asked bluntly.

"Umm I came with Alec I helped them escape."

"Your FBI if I'm not mistaken." Logan eyed him suspiciously "you work with White. Why would you be helping us?"

Before Otto replied Alec spoke "I found him stealing documents from the FBI, it's how they are planning to kill transgenics. He wants to expose the plans and stop White, as they put the public are at risk too."

Logan looked surprised "How is he planning to explose these plans?"
"I was hoping eyes only could help me." Otto anwsered but Logan didn't acknowledge it and looked back at Alec.

"Can he be trusted?" Logan asked Alec.

"Well, he did get me and Max out of an FBI facility with top secret documents and it won't be long before they realised he is the one who help us, so its not like he can go back. I think he can be trust him."Alec replied

Logan thought over what Alec said for a minute. "Come with me and tell me about these plans, I'm an informant for eyes only." Otto follows Logan out of the bedroom.
Dr Carr looks at OC, "Maybe you should let Max rest ..."
"OC isnt about to leave her girl. Not for anything or anyone!" She interrupted the doctor. She glances over at Alec then takes a sit on the other side of the bed and holds her hand.

A little while later Alec stared to feel lightheaded he lay his head beside Max on the bed holding her hand.

Alex finds himself with Max, they are back in the senator's house dress in their tux and dress but the place is empty.

"What's going on?" Max asks him" why are we back here? "
" huh.." Is the only response she got from him. Alec's mind was pretty foggy right now.
"Alec!" She snapped "pay attention!"

Alec shock his head slightly as if he was trying to clear his mind." Well at least I know your back to yourself if your shouting at me" he replied with some amusement. "Since we're here shall we dance?" He takes her into his arms and they dance around the empty ballroom, they both feel relaxed and at peace as they move around in sync.

"Last time we where here things didn't really go to plan." Max says thoughtfully.
"No they did by, it seems recently I've had to save your ass a lot more than I've liked."Alec states.

"Yeah... You've saved me in more ways that just from White recently Alec... Thank you for taken care of me when I wasn't myself"

"I'm sorry did I hear that correctly, Your thanking me!" Alec smirked cause Max to playful punch his shoulder.

"Don't go around broadcasting it orfortress I'll take it back". Max replies playfully
Alec chuckled slightly "well what can I say I'm surprised that your thanking me and not shouting at me that its all my fault."

Max arced one of her eyebrows at this statement. Alec continues to say "I'm Surprise but very grateful, I thought for sure you'd be super pissed at me."

Max looks away from him for a second than opens her mouth to respond...
"I'm the one twirling you around, but I'm the one feeling dizzy" Alec tells her.
Max stops and steps closer to Alec she holds his head in her hand. "I guess its time to stop then. Thank you Alec" she goes to break out of the embrace.

"Don't go, not yet" Alec pleads. Max surprises him with a kiss, it was light and gentle and when Alec open his eyes she was gone.

"Max?" Alec mumbed as woke, finding himself alone still next to the bed where Max was laying earlier. The needle has been removd from his arm. Then he noticed on the pillow was the wedding ring Max had been wearing. That is when he knew, she remember everything.
