Here We Go Again
A fairly short chapter this time, still, hope you enjoy :)
Abandoned military base: San Francisco
Logan's car pulled up outside the military base. Next to Logan was Bling, and behind them were Alec, Max, Zack and Sam. "Why do I have to be here?" Alec complained. Max and Sam hit him across the back of the head, Alec sneered at them.
"You're here to help me find where white took my family" Sam answered
"Consider it an eyes only job" Logan added
"Great and whenever I have done anything for eyes Only I either end up crawling through the sewers with Max, Or locked in some old room with Max" "Great fun" He added sarcastically. Alec threw a look at Logan, Logan didn't know what it was supposed to mean but he found it threatening. Logan shrugged it off and brought his mind back to the mission
"Ok, I'll go over this one more time to make sure everything is clear. Max and Zack, you are going in through the back fence, up the fire escape and through the door. Sam and Alec you are taking the side entrance. Once you are in search the building for anything that could help, and download any data from the computers onto the PDA's that I gave you. If everything goes right you can leave the same way you entered. There's no need to worry about alarms; Bling has hacked into the mainframe and disabled them. And I know it looks empty but I'm going to be monitoring the comms. That Ok?" Logan finished
"Yes Sir!" Alec shouted with a little too much enthusiasm and gave Logan a mock salute. The four transgenics piled out of the car apart from max who hung back a little. Logan reached over and kissed her
"Be careful max, if you're not out within an hour I'm coming in after you"
"Damn right you are" She waved. Sam and Alec moved to the west of the building. Zack stood on the hill overlooking the facility. He paused for a second. I'm sure I've done this before. They cut through the fence then took cover behind an old out building. They both blurred up the fire escape, Zack took out his lock pick and opened the door. Just as he had done four days earlier. Max was about to turn left down a hallway when Zack grabbed her arm
"No, there is a computer down here. I think it has something important on it."
"What?" Max Asked
"I think I was sent here on a mission, but white found me. This way, I'll tell you later" Just as Zack said, there was a computer which Max booted up. Zack typed in a few commands and downloaded the data to his PDA. Max picked up her radio
"Logan, we've found the data, how are Alec and Sam doing"
"Max listen to me, there's a convoy pulled up outside. There is a room 20 feet down the hall way from where you are. Alec and Sam are in there, get there now" Max showed no hesitation both she and Zack blurred over to the room to the room to find Sam and Alec unconscious on the ground with 7 familiars all pointing there guns at them.
"MAX, MAX" Logan shouted. He turned to Bling "I'm Going in" Bling was about to say something but realised that it was useless.
Max began to regain consciousness and realised that she was in some kind of cell. She looked up and noticed that Alec was in the same Cell. He was sitting on a small bench. "Kinda brings back memories of Manticore don't ya think? Hey do you like role play Maxie?" he continued "We're supposed to copulate every night till you get pregnant" Max dragged herself off the floor and punched him in the face knocking him to the ground.
"Hey it's not my fault, I warned Logan that we would end up locked in a room together" Alec carried on, now rubbing the bruise that max had given him.
"Max, are you ok" Zack shouted through the wall
"Yea, all is good bro" she said nudging Alec, who was still on the ground with her foot. Max was interrupted by noise coming from above her. She heard gunshots then the sound of a door being kicked open. Max and Alec's cell door opened to reveal a very flustered looking Logan
"And I thought I told you to be careful" Logan teased.
"Logan, how the hell did you take on all those familiars?" Max asked
"It doesn't matter right now Max" Logan's gaze then drifted over to Alec "So your predictions were correct. You did get yourself locked in a room with max" he finished, weather it was humour or anger Alec couldn't tell. Alec just threw Logan that threatening look that he reserved only for Logan.
Familiar Heaquaters:
He was surrounded by a thick black fog, he couldn't see anything, hear anything, he couldn't feel anything but the antagonising pain, the pain that he wasn't supposed to be able to feel. How long have I been like this? Days, weeks, Months. Hell, Am I dead? The fog seemed to thin out. He could hear voices, Damn that feels good. He opened his eyes and summoned every bit of strength he could find. White screamed with the pain as dragged himself up from the bed. He grabbed the first person he saw – Just some nurse. He dragged her down to his level. "Otto. It was Otto who shot me. Not 453. Otto is working with Sandeman, Take him down" White had exhausted himself and fell back into the fog………………
Terminal City: Outside Gem's living quarters
Gem was cradling her baby in her arms. She reached into the cupboard for some milk to find there was none left. She began to speak to Dalton, who had now become a part of her adopted family "Hey Dalton, have you seen max or Alec around?"
"No, I think they went somewhere with Logan, Don't think they're back yet"
"Oh, I need some milk for little Reagan"
"so you've finally named him then"
"Yeah, decided to name him after Normal, since he helped deliver him"
"I could go get the milk if you want" Dalton added
"No, its not safe, don't risk your safety just for the sake of some milk"
"Really it's ok, I've been out quite a few times with Andy to get mole his cigars"
"Well be careful then Dalton, don't get yourself hurt"
