Day of the freaks

Sam, Alec and Zack had gone back to terminal city. Max decided to go back with Bling and Logan to his apartment. She really wanted to go through the data that they found. Max was sat with her arm half around Logan as he uploaded the data to his computer. "Damn" he said absentmindedly

"What's up?" Max asked

"They have really done a good job encrypting this stuff"

"But you can do it right?"

"Yeah, it will just take a while, there's not much you can do now. You should go get something to eat"

"Ok, then, you want anything?"

"No, I'm good thanks"

A grocery store, near terminal City

Dalton put his baseball cap on to hide his barcode before he entered the store. He grabbed a carton of milk and walked towards the counter to pay for it. He reached into his pocket to find that he hadn't brought the money with him. I can't go back to gem without the milk. He looked over his shoulder to see that there was no one there. He grabbed the milk and blurred towards the door. He was distracted by a woman shouting at him from the counter. He ran into a huge African-American man and fell to the ground.

"Watch where you're going kid!" he shouted as he looked at the back of his neck "He's one of them, he's a transgenic!" Two other men came through the door. They all began to kick him to the ground. The biggest of the three men stomped on his skull a couple of times before everything went black…………..

Terminal City command centre

Mole was looking over the security feeds when his attention was drawn to a news report. "Hey Alec, Josh come over here" Mole waved "Aren't they the bastards that killed your friend Biggs"

"What are they doing on TV? We told them to leave town" Joshua growled without a trace of his usual innocence. The news report switched over to a young boy, about 12 years old who had being subjected to a gruesome lynching

"Isn't that Dalton?" Zack asked?

Joshua growled once more "Safety first" He said emotionlessly as he grabbed his bike helmet. "Come on Alec"

Alec said nothing but began to leave with Joshua when Zack spoke up "I know you guys are angry, but you have no mission plan. What are you going to do? You can't let your feelings and emotion cloud your judgement"

"Quiet farm boy" Alec ordered as if Zack was a dog "Come on Josh"

"Wait up I'm coming too" Mole growled

"And I'm coming. Max would kill me if I let anything happen to you or Joshua" Zack added. This process continued until most of the transgenics made it clear that they were coming along.

A parking lot near terminal city

Zack had just finished hotwiring the last of three vans. Joshua, Alec, Zack, Dix and Mole were in the first, the rest of the transgenics in the other two. The three vans split up and took different routes to their destination. They each stopped their cars at the end of the three streets leading to the area where the three men who killed Dalton were, preventing them from escaping. All 15 of the transgenics stepped out of their cars in unison and closed the doors behind them and raised their guns. Joshua was the first person to approach them. He removed his helmet and growled. They showed no reaction as they were already frozen in fear. He then turned to Dalton and untied him and carried him over to one of the cars "Sleep tight" He whimpered then turned his attention the three murders. He picked the ringleader up and slammed him against the wall. "You killed Dalton!" Joshua snarled before raising him against his head then threw him into the ground. He then picked him up by the shoulders and threw him into the wall while Alec and Mole were going through a similar situation. Joshua this time took hold of his neck and began to crush it. He could hear the satisfying sounds of the man slowly choking.

"Joshua. That's enough! They may deserve it, but we need them alive" Alec shouted, calming Joshua slightly. They took the murders and threw them in the back of a car as an unwanted sound approached.

"We were too slow the cops are here!" Mole shouted as swarm of police cars and SWAT Vans surrounded them. Out of one of the cars stepped detective Clemente with a megaphone

"I know you are upset about what has happened. I am not condoning the actions of these people you have taken, but this will not solve anything. Give yourselves up and you will be treated fairly under the law" Clemente shouted

Joshua then made an incredible leap over the police barricade and grabbed Clemente and pointed his pistol at his head. "They killed Dalton just like they did Biggs. He did nothing to them, but they still hurt him. They are monsters. Not us!" Joshua shouted in his innocent manner. Alec noticed that one of the cops raised and pointed his gun at Joshua

"Josh" He shouted, but he was too slow to react. Alec did the only thing he could do – He dived in front of the swarm of bullets and fell to the cold hard ground.

Logan's apartment

"Max, Logan I think you should see this" Bling shouted across the room from the T.V. They both stopped on what they were working on and moved over to the T.V to see that Dalton had been subjected to a brutal lynching. Max began to speak but didn't know what to say as a single tear began to stream down her face.

"We gotta talk to Alec, stop him before he does something Stupid" She finally let out.

"A little too late Max" Bling said reluctantly when their attention turned back to the T.V screen. Joshua leapt over the police barricade and grabbed Clemente when Alec leapt in front of a cop who began to open fire. He dived right into the shower of bullets and fell to the ground.

"Alec!" Max screamed. Zack and Mole Moved over Alec, Mole fired his shotgun a few times to warn of the surrounding police. They scooped him up out of the pool of blood on the ground and Zack threw him over his shoulder

"Look what you did to him!" Mole screamed letting of another shot

Joshua had just realised what had happened "Alec, you killed Alec!" He looked around taking in what happened. He looked at his hand which was holding the gun and paused for a second before putting it to Clemente's head "No body move, or I will, I'll shoot him" Joshua shouted clearly showing that this was not something that he usually does. Mole grabbed hold of the cop that shot Alec.

"You're coming with us" Mole smiled as he could see the fear on his face. The transgenics slowly moved back to there vehicles. "Let us through Mole growled" The police took down the barricade and put their guns aside and let the transgenics leave. "Try follow us and they're all dead" Mole shouted out of the window firing a warning shot as they left.

"Alec, max sobbed. Logan I've got to go help them" She said as Logan grabbed her arm

"Max you can't do anything by running over there, and it's not safe for you out there" Max continued to attempt to pull away but Logan's grip was too strong. What has happened to him? Could Joshua's Transfusion really have done this? Logan there is something you're not telling me. She gave in realisingthat Logan wasn't going to let her go.

"Joshua said something like that a few days ago" she murmured looking at the ground.

Logan moved over to his computer and brought up a satellite image of Seattle. "they're currently in this area, guessing there heading straight back to Terminal City" Looks like the military are setting up and ambush………………………."

"How's he doing? Mole asked

"Not good still losing a lot of blood" Joshua sobbed. Zack scowled at the cop who shot Alec and was tied up in the back.

"I didn't want it to be like this you know, I'm sorry about this" Clemente tried, but he was just ignored. Zack had a call on his cell phone.

"Zack its Logan they have set up an ambush. Are you driving?"

"No mole is"

"I need to speak him then" "Mole its Logan. Take a left here"

"Listen to Mole, take a left there trying to pin you in, follow my directions and you should be safe" Mole threw the car around the corner. "Ok keep heading west"……….

Logan had lead them to a disused warehouse quite a way from Terminal city. "Ok, you can get into the sewers and get to home base from here safely. How's Alec holding up?

Back in Logan's apartment

Bling approached Logan "Phone" He said handing it to Logan

"Well done Logan" an elderly voice said. The voice sounded familiar, but Logan wasn't sure who it was "You saved them once again. Max was right to choose you"

"Herman?" Logan blurted out, but the call had already ended

"Who was that?" Max asked

"No one…." Logan answered not fully aware that Max was talking to him

Inside terminal city

Joshua was sat on the roofyop where his flag was. He was watching at the chaos in the streets around him. He could just about see his old house from where he was, the house where he used to live with father. He remembered when he was a young boy, when it was just Joshua and father, he was happy, nothing ever went wrong. Until Father did leave of course. Then he was thrown into the basement at Manticore and left there to die all alone. But then there was Max though. She cared for him. She loved him. She was the most important person in the world to him now. And there was Alec, but Joshua was about to lose him now, just like father.

"Hey Josh, Mole began, just come from the infirmary. They said Alec's gonna be ok" Joshua didn't respond so Mole took a different path. "You know you're friend Logan aint all that bad too. If he didn't help us today we would all be dead" Mole continued as he surveyed the wave of police and national guard around the perimeter of Terminal City

"Yeah, Logan's good guy" Joshua smiled weakly "But I don't wanna talk right now Mole. I wanna be alone please"

"Your rooftop" mole replied
