Joshua was working on his next masterpiece when he sensed something, or rather smelled something. Joshua placed the can of paint down and looked out the window. He looked out towards the entrance of Terminal City. He didn't know what it was, but he had a bad feeling something bad was going to happen.

About two miles from Terminal City an ambush was about to occur.

"Come on, Chuck. We're almost there."

Just as Chuck landed across a fence, on the other side he saw a group of guys. And they didn't look to happy to see them.

"Get them!" one of the guys shouted.

"RUN!"

Chuck started running. He could hear his friend running behind him. She was making sure he was in front, protecting him from falling behind. He could hear the group jumping over the fence as well. Both his friend and he kept running till they got near Terminal City.

"GO! Chuck, RUN!" she yelled.

Alec was walking towards the command center, passed the infirmary when he saw Joshua walking toward the entrance gate.

"Now where is he going?" Alec said running to catch up to Joshua.

Joshua kept sniffing the air. It was getting stronger.

"Little fella?" Joshua said walking closer to the gate.

"Josh! Josh what are you doing?" Alec asked stopping Joshua.

"Where do you think you're going?" Alec asked him.

"Little fella?" Joshua said pointing towards the entrance.

Alec looked at the direction Joshua was pointing.

"Max?" he asked confused.

"No, other little fella. Coming…scared?" Joshua said.

Alec stood there confused with what Joshua was saying, when the alarm went off. He looked around and then towards the entrance.

"Shit," he said running towards it.

A group of transgenics went to the entrance and sure enough they saw a young boy running towards them. Alec ran out to help the kid.

"Hurry up," Alec said.

"My friend, they got her," the kid said out of breath.

"How far back?" Alec asked.

"I…I don't know…I just kept on running. She told me to run…"

"Come on," Alec said leading him towards Terminal City.

Mole was at the entrance with his guard up, holding a rifle ready for any surprises. Alec led the kid inside. Mole then signaled to close the gates. Max came running when she heard the alarm.

"What happened?" she asked.

Max saw the little boy.

"Alec?" Max asked looking up towards his direction.

"Kid was running from something or someone…." Alec started when the kid interrupted him.

"We have to go get her. It's my fault. I should have slowed down, but I just ran…" he said getting teary.

Max walked over to the kid and knelt in front of him.

"Whoah, calm down, sweety. Now I need you to answer a few questions for me. Could you do that?" Max asked the kid.

He nodded at her.

"What's your name?" she asked him.

"Chuck."

"Okay, Chuck, what's your friend's name?"

"Isis."

Alec's eyes widen. Did he hear correctly? It couldn't be her?

"Isis," Alec mouthed.

~~~Flashback (Right after Berrisford Incident~~~

494 was thrown into the cell again, down with the anomalies downstairs. It has been a month of the same routine. Taking him from psy-ops and then back to his cell. His prison. He couldn't forget Rachel. The way she had looked at him after he told her the truth. She was dead because of him. If he hadn't gotten too close to her, she would still be alive. 494 looked around the cell and could only hear the voices of those around him in their own cells. He was down there with the freaks, with the monsters. He was a monster. He caused nothing but pain, and death. He should have known better then to think he could be with Rachel. He had to forget, put it behind him. Starting now, he was going to be the soldier he was before he had met Rachel. Before taking on the assignment. Before letting his emotions get the best of him. He would be the same soldier once again.

"No more psy-ops." 494 said.

"Time to forget and put it behind me."

494 stared at the floor when he heard footsteps. They were soft, quiet. He knew who it was. She was the only one he had come to speak to about Rachel. She was his confidant. His only true friend here at Manticore. She had been trying to help him with his pain. With his guilt. He was thankful he met her. Even if it was down here with the anomalies.

"494?" came the soft voice of a girl.

494 looked up and saw two hazel eyes through the cell bars looking straight at him.

"Isis" 494 said.

Isis smiled at him. 494 couldn't help but smile back at her.

~~~End of Flashback~~~

"Okay listen up"

Alec shook his head and came back from his memory and back to the present.

"Okay, I'm going to need two teams ready to go out. Alec, will lead one of the teams. I'll lead the other." Max said turning back to Chuck.

"Chuck, could you describe how Isis looks like?" Max asked.

Alec paid close attention. He wanted to know if it was her. If it truly was Isis from back at Manticore.

"She has long coal black hair, about up to here," Chuck said pointing to his hip with one hand and drying up his eyes with the other.

"She's about 5'4'' and she had on blue jeans, with a dark-green t-shirt."

Alec heard the kid, and it seemed to be a description of any girl. It wasn't Isis. It's couldn't be.

"I think that's good. Okay, let move out." Max said.

Alec nodded and he went to form his team and head out.

~~~Isis POV~~~

I slowly star opening my eyes. Trying to focus my vision. My head hurts. I tried moving my hands but they're tied behind my back. I feel the side of my face wet and look down my jeans to see droplets of blood. I guess am bleeding. I look around me and try to analyze where I am. The room is dark but I could see everything around me. I'm in an abandone warehouse or what looks like one. Why am I here?

"I see your awake. It's about time. I was starting to worry I hit you to hard."

I look up towards the voice and I notice a man standing not far from me. He starts walking towards me. He's wearing a suit and if looks could kill, I would be dead.

"Who are you?" I ask him.

He walks closer to me and the next thing I know he backhands me across the face. I cry out from the pain I feel across my face. I could taste blood flowing from a cut formed on the corner of my lip. I slowly turn to look at him again. He has a sinister smile on his face and I can't help but feel fear overcome me.

"The name is White. Ames White."

~~~~Cliffy :) Sorry for not updating soon. I am having a crisis with school and haven't had a chance to update this story nor my other story "The Promise". I will be updating soon though. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I decided to use the name I had first come up with for my original character. Isis. So as you could see Alec is trying to find out if the girl Chuck is refering to is Isis from Manticore. She is but he is not sure. At least not till he sees her. And now White has captured her. ^o^ that can't be good. Stay tune for the next chapter and see what happens to Isis. Please review and let me know what you guys think :)~~~~
