Summary: Wonder what would happen if someone took away any
of your values, morality and conscious? Where a world in which the leader of a
nation gets turned on them and is the sole carrier for salvation gets turned
into their own damnation. Witness Max as the revved up being she was told she
would be but fighting for the wrong side. Familiar and transgenics are both on
opposing sides against the once loved leader.

As Alec slowly made his way down the corridor to the lively
ordinaries he stopped just out of reach of sight and took a moment to compose
himself. Even though Max made it clear she wanted them to leave TC he couldn�t
sit idly by while they thought they had one up on a transgenic. Alec looked at
Mole and Josh and reveled in the feeling of combined outrage that tinted the
air.

Stepping into the sight of the 20 men behind a barricade
that the transgenics ha made he allowed himself the luxury of measuring each of
the men individually. He knew they were scared he could smell it and his cold
smile slowly appeared on his face.

�Hello gentlemen� he said casually.

The men had died down their conversation at the arrival and
stood to face him each showing him their disgust at the sight of him and his
two companions.

�Oh look fellas the trannie has brought along his pets� John
sneered hiding how uncomfortable he felt in an enclosed area. His men just
chuckled weakly.

Alec let his look stay impassive and glanced at mole and
Josh.

�Do you idiots have any idea who you guys were up against
when you breached our walls?� Alec asked still playing it cool.

�Your walls? Trannie your delusional, you weren�t even
supposed to be alive, you were made in a lab. These walls belong to us normal
people�

Alec tensed but didn�t let on how much this ordinary angered
him. Slipping on his cocky persona just to piss John off he drawled casually as
if talking to an old friend �Well seeing as you were so eager to get into TC
I�m sure that you wont mind staying, I mean you seem to have made yourself
quite comfortable� looking around at the other men in the room he saw them all
standing in a tight area and played with the idea of them actually living
there. �And you were so eager to meet us� Alec shrugged and gave John a
charming smile. �Why not live amongst us? Whatdya say.� Clicking his fingers as
if realizing something �oh but you don�t mind the left over radiation that will
eventually either eat away at you or drive you insane right?� he dead panned
�What am I thinking, of course you wont. You fuckers were so eager in coming in
that I�m sure your as happy with your new arrangements as the rest of
Transgenic Central�

The ordinaries saw that Alec made a move to leave and John
walked over to the bars in outrage at the arrogance of this trannie.

�Hey trannie, let us the fuck out you freak! There will be
people looking for us, unlike you we are actually a priority to the American
public� there was a chorus following him in agreement.

Mole stiffened next to him and Josh started to growl,
placing a calming hand on the two he stepped closer to the gate calmly. Quick
as anything his hand shot out around the ordinaries neck jerking him closer to
the bar.

�I have no fucking idea what you and your pathetic friends
thought you were doing, but lets take the time out to analyze your situation
shall we...you entered our city, which might I say congratulations on your
stupidity, you then shot one of our residents, again fucked up decision, you
then tried to violate said resident� Alec�s hand tightened a bit on the
struggling man, ignoring the other ordinaries outrage � and as if that wasn�t
enough you electrocuted the hell out of her leaving her weak and immobile, how
manly of you all� Alec couldn�t let his contempt slip into his voice as he said
the last bit.

�If you pricks would have taken the time out to analyze your
situation properly you would have realized two things. One, what the fuck were
you thinking coming into TC with just 20 men? Do you honestly think if it was
that easy to take us on; don�t you think the military would have made their
move by now? We...yea us transgenics are the best soldiers to ever grace your
fucking country. We were born to be the best and I�m not just saying that. At age
7 we could out smart any NASA scientist, out militarize the most experienced of
commanding officers and out strategize your most lethal officers. We are the
epitome of what a soldier should be, were quicker than you, stronger than you
and if I must say damn smarter!� Alec didn�t let up on his grip and he could
sense the fear in the other man bubbling, he pressed on �Two� Alec started
chuckling �you sure as hell didn�t do your homework on us did you? That person
you took down today, and I sure as hell wouldn�t be proud of it. We have your
image� Alec looked each man in the eye �imprinted in our brain, the only reason
you are all still standing unharmed is by order of our leader. Despite what you
all think we aren�t all animals, we have morals. Our leader is a respectable
woman with a kind heart, don�t think for a moment when she was kicking your
asses today that she was giving her all. She may have been outraged but she
still knew that giving you assholes a death blow would end up bad for all of
us, she looks out for us even when she doesn�t realize she is, and we look out
for her. Don�t mistake though that if any of us saw you on the street that you
would be dealt the same way. Unlike our leader, we are soldiers yes but we look
out for our pack first� Giving the man a malicious stare �and we don�t take
kindly to your treatment of her� With that he shoved the man away from him with
a force that sent him reeling hard into those who were standing behind him.

Standing back he addressed the ordinaries as a whole. �If
you ever come back we will kill you, if you mention anything that happened
today to the press, we will kill you, I have assigned transgenics to watch over
you � Alec let a smirk cross his face �if you bad mouth us we will kill you, is
this understood?� Alec said in a commanding voice to the shocked men.

�I said is this understood� he barked a moment later.

A chorus of agreement was heard amongst the disgruntled men.

Turning to Mole and Josh he told them to lead them outside,
upon their nod he turned and made his way back to Max. Finally able to breath
out his tension he rolled his shoulders.

When he made it back to Max he heard her softly singing and
a smile lit up his face instantly. He once again felt clam with her close by
and released what ever bad energy he had from his body before making his
presence known.

He saw Ray curled up beside her softly snuggled against her,
but obviously not that comfortable because he could see his obvious distress at
her current predicament. He could see the way Ray would cautiously move in case
he hurt her and felt a tug at his heart at how much Ray loved her.

Max could sense this in him aswell because she was singing
to him trying to sooth away his worries so he would relax in her one armed
embrace.

�Maxie� Alec approached them tentively, not sure if he was
wanted.

Max gave him a half smile while Ray just glared at him.

�Hey� Max tried sitting up, immediately Ray helped her
gently putting a hand behind her back for support than adjusting her pillows so
that she would be in a seated position comfortably. �How was the meeting?�

Glancing at Ray he just shrugged and dismissed her question
with a wave of his hand.

Ray looked from his mum to Alec knowing he was missing
something but thought better than to interrogate at a time like this. Gazing at
Max for a bit longer he fought off the wave of fear he still got ever since he
was informed of her injuries. *Fucking ordinaries* he thought
bitterly, his face softened when he felt the calming touches Max softly gave up
and down his back. His face hardened and he made sure Max couldn�t see his
face.

Alec was watching Ray silently from where he had stood at
ease near Max�s bed and was startled when pure hate had flashed across his
face. He had been studying him silently from the moment he had walked through
the door and knew from the beginning that something had changed within him. Ray
had been gazing at Max with such adoration and fear it had pulled at his
heartstrings to see but the quick change in his emotions had startled him, what
put him off was the fact Ray had deliberately faced away from Max so she
couldn�t see it, he had an inkling from the dark look and cold fury breaking
through his ice blue eyes that whoever his thoughts were directed at they would
be sorry and even that sent a chill down Alec�s spine.

*I blame this on roller boy. He�s the one who did this to mum as far as
I�m concerned.* Setting his face in a cold dark smirk *and
he�s gonna learn not to mess with a White*

Light of a new day shone through the grimy windows of the
dark abandoned looking house. The sole occupant sat in front of his computer
trying to establish a link to Terminal city for the thirtieth time without
success. He was handsome in the ruggedly ordinary way, his dark sun kissed hair
was grown out a bit more than he would have it normally and he seemed to not
have had a shower or shaven for at least three days leaving him looking older
than his years, his eyes a cerulean blue held a dimmer spark than what those
who knew him before were customary in seeing.

The house in which he inhabited was not in any better state
than what the dweller was. The house looked as if it were robbed, if it weren�t
the fact that thousands of dollars of computer equipment sat over in the far
right of the living room behind a make shift Japanese paper door one would
think other wise.

Giving an audible sigh Logan
got up and went for his phone once again paging Max. it�s been days since he
last saw her and he was starting to get worried, somewhere in the back of his
mind he could feel the stirring of his conscious saying that he was always
worried about her but turned a blind eye when it came to his Eyes Only
missions.

Rubbing his hands against his face he decided not to dwell
too much on his emotional life. Moving across the room to once again sit down
in front of his computer he typed a couple demands and brought up the documents
on Paige Rownsdale.

Now if he wasn�t so obsessed with a certain raven haired
transgenic he would have with out doubt been drooling all over the picture
associated with the name. Even without his commitment to Max he felt a stirring
in his loins for the gorgeous Paige. Although despite her erotically seductive
looks many have fallen for, this bitch�s bite is definitely worse than her
bark.

She was a Brazilian goddess; she had
everything going for her, one would think she was made in a lab. Paige was a
very manipulative deceiving woman always looking out for number one. It was
hard to believe that the delicate looking girl was one of the most feared
outlaws of this century. She had the whole criminal world at her feet, not just
because she could persuade anyone with her bedroom eyes but also because she
was notoriously deadly.

Paige was one of those children raised in the remaining circle
of elite blue blood, but she was the role model child, the one other parents
wished they had produced; gorgeous, talented, smart, polite. At age 5 the girl
could outsmart a high school valedictorian. She had the upper society drooling
with how she carried herself within social events. She was the pride and joy of
the Rownsdale clan. By age 12 she was beyond university, she had an I.Q. way
above normal standards it was in the top 7% of the whole of United
States. She was the Mary Sunshine of the
upper east side of Manchester and
she knew it. When she went through puberty the envy grew towards her because
her stunning good looks blossomed and she was not only the smartest but the
most wanted.

With her Brazilian background Paige had exotic good looks. She
had long silky dark hair which was highlighted with bronze streaked through it.
Pouty lips when she smiled revealed 2 rows of perfectly white teeth, a little
cute button nose, dark olive skin, a slim waste begging to be encircled, long
athletic legs that were smooth to the touch but was solid from muscle leading
up to her firm round ass, flat stomach not solid abs but feminine in a way that
assured she looked after her body enough. Her breasts had filled out to a
perfect size making them accent her figure. But the killers were her stormy
green eyes. The seductive yet innocent lure held within their depths made
anyone drop to the floor wanting to please her.

What made Logan
so frustrated was that even though her reputation within the circle of deadly
criminals were very much highly respected and feared to the remaining public
she was still Mary Sunshine. Her records were squeaky clean and no one could
ever trace any evidence towards her to show her involvement. Hell the only
reason Logan had to believe she was
who his informant said she was was because of his personal relationship with
the source.

Growing weary as he looked over her records some more he
could tell that her squeaky record was only due to who her father is. At age 55
Drake Rownsdale was the CEO of R.B.T Corp; the highest successful manufacturer
of weapon technology and pharmaceuticals to drop since before and after the
pulse. Drake was as smart as he was rich. He never once ever overlooked the
possibility of a pulse not since the scare back in the count down to the
millennium and the Y2K bug. Drake had instilled his important files away not on
disk and such but on paper and he also stored his earnings in his own private
safe where he controlled his assets and stored them away in cash and the
remaining on government official paper. He looked out for himself and his
family. As much as you�d like to hate him for his own criminal activity there
was no denying he was a family man. Hell the Rownsdale�s evoked envy from how
they established their home life.

Love being the primary benefactor. Logan
shook his head at the irony Paige�s iciness when concerning anything else and
her many hat tricks in getting herself out of trouble and what brought on her
downfall was her love for her family. Drake had been ostracized by his minions
for years and they had finally made a move to bring him down. Although they
didn�t successfully do it because Paige got whiff of the treachery and had
taken matters in her own hands, the end result of everything was the Rownsdale
family name was still as highly respected but the loss of her parents in the
fight was what sent Paige on a rage. Paige had disappeared after that and the
criminal world sat with baited breathe for their Mistress to return and seek
revenge.

The followers had organized to kill the family off after
they had published their discriminations in public at the Grand opening Ball to
the new R.B.T Building in Seattle to tarnish the name but had been foiled when
Paige had reversed it so the vice president of R.B.T the person responsible for
the betrayal would be the one to get the blame. John Whitfield had gone insane
and began firing at the Rownsdale family before anyone could move and the
bullets fired had shot with precision killing instantly the senior Rownsdale�s
right in front of Paige.

Now Paige wanted revenge but she also needed asylum away
from her past life and had come to Eyes Only for help through her only trusted
ally, his cousin Allen whom Logan
had been close with when they were younger.

Logan sighed
again and once again reached for his phone to page Max.

It was 10:30 in
the morning and Max felt the slow feeling of pain wash over her body as she was
brought into consciousness. Groaning a little she felt better than she had
before her cat nap and steadily calmed her body as she focused all her senses.

Breathing in deeply she assessed she was still in the
infirmary and that she was alone for the time being. Taking in another deep
breath she relaxed even more when she caught whiff of the lingering scent of
Ray and Alec. Prepping herself to get up she flung the sheets away from her and
blushed as she realized that during her stay at the hospital she had been
partially naked accept for the flimsy patients garment on her body. She swung
her feet over the side and tentively set them on the floor cautious of her
injured leg she put pressure on it but was surprised that she didn�t feel the
excruciating pain she had feared, instead just a dull ache where the bullet
wound had been. Come to think of it she was fine except her muscles were
bunched up and knotted. She stretched tentively and gave a sigh as she released
some tension in her lower back.

Grinning she moved towards where she knew Ray had placed her
clothes and began to change. She didn�t want to over do herself but she felt
fine. Okay a dull ache here and there but that never stopped her.

As she walked into command with only a day to recover from 2
gunshot wounds and an almost fatal loss of blood the entire room fell silent
upon her entrance.

She faltered in her stride as she took in the astonished
looks from her people. She rolled her eyes and struck her infamous defiant
pose.

�What, do I have something on my face?� she asked
sarcastically �get back to work! Meeting in ten minutes understood� her commanding
voice jolted everyone out of their momentary shock.

�Yes ma�am� was reverberated through the room.

Smiling in appreciation she sauntered over to her office but
before she could get there she was picked up into a hug by an enthusiastic
Joshua.

�Lil fella! So good to have you!� Giggling at Josh�s
enthusiasm she hugged the dog man back.

�Hey no big, if I were gone who else could you louts depend
on! Besides as if a bunch of ordinaries could bring me down�

Giving one last squeeze Josh finally put her down before he
remembered her injuries and immediately whimpered. Startled Max put a gentle
hand on his arm �what�s wrong Big fella?�

�I hug too strong maybe hurt Max�

Rolling her eyes Max gave him a reassuring smile �Pfft
Joshua if you had hurt me I would have said so�

�Yeah Josh, what were you thinking, nothing could ever hurt
our fearless leader�

Max brightened at his smooth gentle voice.

�Leader being the operative word Alec. Get in my office� she
ordered playfully.

He saluted her mockingly �yes ma�am� then with a perfectly
executed about face turned and went to her office marching over exaggeratingly.
Max followed behind suppressing her smile at his obnoxiousness.

Once the door was closed behind them Alec dropped all
playfulness and moved besides her gently moving her towards the couch. �Max you
shouldn�t be up and about, you should be resting�

*I swear if I roll my eyes any more this morning they�ll roll outta my head*
Max humpfed instead but didn�t back down from Alec�s caring ways.

�I�m fine� she got up and walked about �not so much as a
slight limp� she pointed out. Shaking his head Alec just gazed at Max�s
stubbornness.

�Okay Maxie, after all you know best� Alec said no emotion
breaking through.

Max just stared at him for that comment and could decipher
whether he meant it to be sarcastic or true. Shaking her head she let it slide
and strode to the door �c�mon we have a meeting 2IC� wanting to be out of the
room all of a sudden.

Before they could leave the room Alec gently placed his hand
on hers. �I�m just worried okay Max. I can�t help it� His voice was a mixture
of shame and care that Max was left with tingles all through her body as he
told her this.

�I know� she whispered to his down turned face �I just don�t
like being babied�
Nodding in understanding he let go of her feeling an instant
loss followed her out to the meeting room.

Placing his usual mischief making smirk on his face he gazed
about the room and took place next to Max on the table.

�Okay people listen up. We have to reorganize and tighten up
our security; the incident two days ago is testament of that. We had a weak
link and now that we know what it is we can strengthen it. I need rotating
shifts to over lap eachother through out T.C in all sectors. We need to deploy
more shadows on the outskirts to protect and inform us of any potential
breeches. We have enough skilled people here and I�m shocked I never thought of
this before.� A smile lit up their face as they watched Max in her element �If
they want trannie filth well give it to them. After all this city was theirs
before they were dumb enough to spill toxins everywhere. Mole... give me a full
report on the trash left within T.C�

Mole looked at her confused �uh...Max it�s still trashed we
just moved it about a bit to make room�

An evil smile lit up Max�s face �I feel its time to give
back to the community�

Later that night a disgruntled yet happy Mole sat in front
of his leader.

�Report!� she barked at him.

Giving her an eerie smile �Trash has been disposed
of...ma�am�

Smiling genuinely at him she nodded her approval and
dismissed him.

Alec sat on her couch grinning like a mad man. Max glanced
up and caught his eye before they broke out into laughter.

�Fuck Max, your sense of righteousness is humorous at best!�
he chuckled some more before gazing at the still laughing transgenic.

�Hey I heard they were complaining about us stealing their
�city� only fair to give back what we stole....or have no use of�

�Sending the trash on the outskirts of the fence is funny
not to mention tactful advantage to us because now they have to either remove
the garbage first to gain access to our fence or hire people to remove it
giving us time to recoup and them busy. Plus they can�t do anything...what?
They gonna book us for massive littering?� Alec howled again and Max smirked.

�We have to take out their eyes Alec� Once hearing her voice
he turned serious himself �It�s a miracle they didn�t get footage of me the
other night. We can�t afford to let them have any advantage over us�

Nodding in agreement �yeah I know what you mean I was
thinking about it myself but was worried about public backlash�

�Fuck the public!� Max�s outburst surprised him and she had
the decency to look a bit sheepish but still stand by her exclaim. �We have
been through hell for these ordinaries, we are gonna save these ordinaries, we
are the ones they tortured for most of our lives, and we deserve our freedom!
We are as American as anyone else living in this God for saken
State. No more will we bow down to
them this is a war and they have taken it up a notch and shown how serious they
are....now it�s our turn to show them. We are soldiers. The best money can buy
literally! It�s their fault for making us this smart and strong, Karma is a
bitch and were gonna show them not to mess with my family!�

Seething from where she sat Max looked at Alec who looked
funny, like he was trying to breath but couldn�t.

�What?!� she snapped still on her high.

Busting out into laughter once more Alec held his sides and
laughed �Gee Maxie no wonder you�re our leader with all your melodramatic
speeches you could rile up the pope enough for him to switch to an atheist�

Max rolled her eyes and stood putting a hand on her hip in
her defiant pose sending and icy glare at Alec.

Alec�s chuckles died down with her glare, and he pouted
adorably and gave her the sad eyes. This seemed to enrage her further and Alec
couldn�t help bit smirk �Well it could�

�Alec!� she screeched as she had for several days now, gone
without this sort of annoyance and rage at the transgenic before her. She
couldn�t even see the sweet guy that was affectionately looking after her a few
days ago. At least I know it�s still him. �you...you...argh just get out of my
site!� she said exasperated.

�Not one of your best come backs... but I�ll let it slide
because you�ve been damaged some what this weak�

Max gave him an incredulous look and he just smirked some
more loving the fire in her eyes. She growled low in her throat and made to
step towards him when an X-6 rushed in and stood at attention.

Directing her annoyance at the young boy she snapped at him
�What!?�

�Now, now Maxie is that any way to show equality amongst the
troops� Alec sat on the couch casually blowing on his fingers before giving her
a shit eating grin �ever heard of �do
not to other�s as one expects others to not do to thyself� or some shit like
that�

Max�s growl deepened.

�Ma�am you have a satellite call from Mr. Cale�

Taking deep calming breaths she nodded her head and the X-6
saluted and left.

Walking calmly by Alec she refused to look at him then
squealed to her horror in a girlish way.

She struggled against the firm yet gentle hold Alec had on
her and slowly relaxed as he calmly held her to him.

�Come now Max� he tsked close to her ear. �You can�t be that
mad at me�

�Let. Me. Go�
she said between clenched teeth despite her body language. Alec chuckled at her
stubbornness.

He buried his face in her neck and breathed in his chosen
mates sent. It gave him a sort of peace, he smelt her anger and resentment
towards him and it made him smile.

Getting up with Max still firmly in his embrace he gently
stroked her back until he no longer smelt anger off her.

Max was almost purring in her contentment and was slightly
confused by the feeling.

Sighing one last time she grudgingly hugged her best friend
back and smiled up at him. �You�re such a goof!� she said sweetly.

�Yes but you looove me� he said playfully.

She looked at him with sparkling dark chocolate eyes honesty
and warmth radiated in their depth and Alec�s heart rejoiced and broke at the
same time. �Yeah I do� smiling at him she pulled away and ruffled his hair
before quickly placing a kiss to his cheek �I gotta take this call I�ll be
back� and with that she left Alec with a heart to mend.

Alec had seen in her eyes the love he had always wanted from
her but not the kind of love he needed from her.

Logan waited
patiently for Max�s sweet face to appear on the screen. When she did he glowed
at how beautiful she was.

�Hi Max� he said in his usual husky gentle voice.

�Hey Logan,
what�s up?� she said getting down to business immediately.

�I�ve been trying to get a hold of you for a couple days
now; I need you to do something for me�

Max grimaced but hid it well �sure Logan
what do ya need� *please not a suicide mission please not a suicide mission* Max
chanted in her head as she waited for Logan
to reply.

�Actually it�s pretty simple I just need you to retrieve
some one and make sure she safely gets here�

Max raised a brow �here?�

�Josh�s place�

�Logan...you
want me to guard a girl to Josh�s place?� Max looked at Logan
like he had grown a second nose on his face.

Logan thought
back to what he said and could see how it might have sounded.

�She�s a very important person and a lot of people are after
her and she needs a safe house�

Calming her initial irritation at Logan
for this bullshit easy assignment that he could have set up himself she nodded
and asked for details.

�Her name is Paige Rownsdale, 20 years old, heir to Rownsdale
fortune, and Mistress of the criminal world�

Max�s curiosity was piqued �if she�s top shit why doesn�t
she just get her own cronies to guard her?�

�Because their the ones that betrayed her, anyway her flight
arrives at Langford air strip at 0200 tonight. She will have her trusted
personnel guard with her who will be flying her private Jet and she will be
armed. I have informed her that she will be picked up by one of my contacts so
just mention me and she�ll know you�re legit.

Nodding and taking all this in while accepting the
blueprints and Intel, Max started casually looking up on Ms. Rownsdale.

Before she could disconnect the phone call Logan
did his usual caring �Be careful Max� and they lost feed on eachother.

�Maaax I�m bored I though you said she was arriving at 0200
why isn�t she here yet� Alec complained like a petulant child and Max just
ignored him staying on the alert. �Maaax, are you listening� he started to poke
her �talk about crappy Intel, Logan
cant even get the timing right!� continuing on poking her she was starting to
loose patience �Maaax I�m cold and tired, unlike you I need sleep and-�

�Alec SHUT UP!�

Max swung around and gave him her iciest stare.

As if he were kicked Alec shut his mouth making sure she
caught his wounded look before pouting and stared at the sky waiting for the
plane to arrive.

Max felt slightly bad but didn�t have the energy to deal
with it she looked up and sighed as she caught site of the plane. They stood in
the shadows so they were sure that it was who Logan
said it was before approaching the occupants. Max was surprised as the landing
strip lights blinked on all of a sudden. They stood there patiently as the
plane touched ground effortlessly and without a hitch and slowly came to a
stop. They waited and extra 5 minutes before the plane doors opened and a big
burly black man stepped out scanning the area cautiously. Max took the
initiative and walked over to the man.

As she approached he quickly went on the alert and drew his
gun on her, Max had expected that and raised her hands to show him she meant no
threat to him. �I�m from Eyes Only� Max shrugged and looked over at Alec �and
so is he. Were here to escort Ms Rownsdale to him�

The older man looked at us in astonishment �you�re joking
right� as we continued to stare at him blankly he chuckled �I knew Eyes Only
was a crack! Your kids! Same age if not younger as my Mistress!�

Alec looked bemused at the term and Max rolled her eyes fed
up with her hands in the air she dropped them to her side and struck her pose.
�Look it doesn�t matter what you think where is Ms Rownsdale� Max asked in
irritation.

�Eyes Only is a fool if he thinks I�m handing her over to
you�

�look don�t underestimate us�

�what�s to underestimate your barely out of high school!�

Max growled �alright that�s it!� then quick as anything Max
had disarmed the man and he was on the ground unconscious.

Alec lowered his hands calmly and raised a brow at her.

�What?� she said defensively �you know you wanted to do
that!�

Alec chuckled then froze as he caught sight of who he
presumed to be Paige. Alec had not bothered looking up on Paige because he knew
Max would have told him of any important highlights. But as his gaze swept over
her he wished he had checked himself, she was gorgeous and oozed confidence and
sexual prowess in the way she held herself. Her exotic good looks and killer
body casually came forward and Alec was captured by her dazzling green eyes.

Max spun around the moment she felt her instincts tingle and
gasped as she saw only the eyes of a predatory female gazing at her. Max took
an involuntary step back.

*what the fuck?!* Max thought desperately as she quickly
recovered from the momentary shock that passed through her system.

Gazing at her from inside the Jet were 2 very stormy green
eyes looking at her with a predatory glint, it shook something deep within Max,
as she stepped out into more light Max felt her jaw drop then caught herself
for her confusing actions. Shaking herself outta it she took a step forward and
regained her tough chick persona.

�Sorry about you�re muscle he was grating on my nerves!�

Max heard her smooth laughter and felt herself sigh at her
sweet voice �It�s no problem, he was my test for you anyway, glad you took care
of it and passed with flying colour�s�

Flicking her gaze over to Alec she almost laughed at his
comical expression. At Manticore we were always familiar with beauty, hell we
were gorgeous ourselves, but there was just something about this ordinary that
caught us. Alec shook himself outta it and stepped forward.

�Don�t mind her impoliteness for not introducing herself,
her name is Max and I�m Alec� he plastered on his charming smile and to his
surprise and horror her gaze went to Max. Primal jealousy stirred within him as
he caught the looks she gave his chosen mate.

�Max� the name rolled off her tongue easily �suites you� she
commented as she languidly slid her gaze over a very flustered Max.

�errr....well how bout we motor, I�m sure your eager to meet
Eyes only�

Paige nodded and sauntered down the jet towards her prey,
she smirked at how uncomfortable she was.

As soon as Paige sent Ralf out to investigate her so called
escorts she had been pleasantly thrilled to see the beautiful woman strut right
up to him. Then to make her even more appealing she hadn�t flinched at the site
of his gun trained on her. Paige of course noticed the gorgeous man next to her
but he didn�t seem quite as appealing to her as the woman had. She was every
bit evenly matched in perfection as she was, and she had loved her attitude and
personality. She was intrigued and a little miffed as she watched her disarm
Ralf literally in the blink of an eye, and was amused at the interaction
between the two beings. She could see this fire within her that had drawn Paige
to her and she knew she had finally found the mate she had been searching for.
It would definitely be fun seducing her.

Paige cocked her head as she thought of some of her past
darker secrets and hoped her lover could take it.

Never wavering her gaze away from Max she walked directly in
front of her no fear of invading personal space �You mean Mr. Cale?� she had
purred out and winked at a startled Max.

Her eyes immediately turned suspicious and Paige smiled at
her coyly before moving on towards the blonde �my bags are set out in the foyer
of the Jet� she said dismissively as if to a servant and sauntered off to the
parked car not far from the Jet and air strip.

Left behind her were two dumfounded transgenics.

�She gives me the creeps� Max whispered her gaze still on
the girl provocatively swaying her hips.

�Well I wish shed give them to me� Alec muttered not in
resentment but in a primitive disliking which caused Max to look at Alec with
big doe eyes.

Her expression melted into a �huh?� expression.

Smirking and finally seeing the humor in the situation �she totally wants you�

Shock immediately filled Max closely followed by doubt,
denial and irritation towards Alec. Her gaze flicked over at the calm girl that
leaned casually against the car watching their exchange with detachment.

�Umm...we�ll have this conversation later. Get the bags�

Alec quickly unfolded his arms over his chest and let them
hang loosely by his sides as he looked incredulously at Max *this is her mission, why am I the bag boy?*

�What?! Aren�t you goin to help?� realizing that her focus
wasn�t directed at him anymore he stiffened �or are you going to keep your
girlfriend company� he said snidely.

Not giving Alec a look �Just do it!� Max snapped irritably
desperately wanting to go home back to Ray.

Max pushed forward her indifferent attitude and walked over
to the sexy female waiting for her trying to keep a clear head Max was proud
that despite everything she was still in alert mode.

As she opened the car door and held it open for her, Paige
placed her hand innocently on the door and brushed it lightly against Max�s
fingers.

Max controlled her reaction to the touch showing that she
wasn�t affected but Paige looked in her eyes and saw the momentary shock there
and smirked seductively up at the brunette as she reluctantly looked back at
her.

Paige licked her lips and saw Max�s eyes darken, and she
motioned for Max to come closer.

As if in a trance Max stepped closer to the enchanting
normal.

The moment was lost however when Alec dropped the bags in
the opened boot and jostling the car so eye contact had to be broken, he
sauntered round to the driver�s side and before hoping in looked over at Max.

Still oblivious to what he had intruded in he gave Max a
questioning look as he felt the tension and confusion come off her.

�Maxie?� snapping her head up he could swear he saw guilt
there but didn�t get a good enough look as she closed herself off.

�Yea?� she responded to his uncertain voice.

�You gonna ride in the back or are ya gonna ride shot gun
with me?�

Max made a move to close the door so she could ride up front
but was stopped by the gentle caress of the girl in the car once again giving
her that predatory look.

�I think it would be best if you rode back here with me�
looking over at Alec she plastered on her innocent look. �For security reasons�

Before Max could reply she was again cut off. Alec had to
agree despite his primal urge to keep her away from Max, there was just
something off about her.

�She�s right Maxie, c�mon get in the car I wana get home�
and with that Max was left to dejectedly climb in next to the girl that more
than anyone else in her life confused her. Max felt she was not a threat yet
her instincts went into overdrive around her.

As she gazed out the window alert to everything so she could
sense threat she was startled when a pair of delicate hands casually brushed
her thigh. Max spun and looked at Paige who had scooted closer to her and held
that same intense predatory look. Paralyzed Max did nothing but close her eyes
as she felt the soft breath on her face.

�What are you doing?� Max questioned quietly, almost
submissively.

The glint in Paige�s eyes sparkled and her casual brush
against her thigh was now a gentle caress that sent tingles of pure animalistic
pleasure down her spine.

�Tell me to stop� Paige whispered back as her hot breath now
touched her exposed neck, no other contact between them except for the trailing
patterns drawn softly and seductively up her thigh.

Max gulped and felt an undeniable pull towards this girl who
she hadn�t met more than twenty minutes ago. With that startling realization it
dawned on Max what she was doing and she was shocked into reality *what
the fuck?!*

She broke out of her lust filled trance and shook it off
shocked at what had just happened. �Stop!� Max said forcefully shoving Paige
away a little too hastily. Max froze at what she just did and watched in
astonishment at how Paige just chuckled and winked at her.

Then as if nothing happened her demeanor became that of a
sophisticated socialite and her gaze turned out the window. Max didn�t know
what the hell just happened and as far as she was concerned the sooner she got
this girl to Logan the better.

Alec sat tensely as he had watched through the rearview
mirror. He tightened his hold on the steering wheel and found the stirrings of
hate in the pit of his stomach as his gaze landed on the now smirking Brazilian
looking back at him calmly.

Paige felt extremely pleased with herself, she had found her
mate less than half an hour ago and now established an unspoken challenge to
the blonde driving on who would claim Max for their own. She grinned ferally;
yes she would definitely have fun.

There are secrets about the Rownsdale�s that have always allowed
them to be better than just ordinary people. There are secrets about her that
made Paige better than the rest of any Rownsdale ancestor. She was the best and
epitome of perfection to come forth from the Rownsdale clan. Paige felt a dark
rage grow at the thought of family and her green eyes darkened to an almost
dark hazel. She would exact revenge on those who crossed her and they would
feel the wrath of a scorned Rownsdale painfully.

Max was fidgeting nervously after her little moment with
Paige, she couldn�t figure out her behaviour. She was straight damnit! Never has she questioned her preference in
sex but something within her stirred when she came close to Paige. Max wanted
to cry at how confused she was currently feeling, she wanted to go home and get
hugged by her little boy and forget everything. *stupid Logan*
Max thought bitterly *it�s only a easy pick up and deliver*
she mocked inside herself.

She didn�t dare look at either occupant in the car she could
feel something was off between them and in the back of her mind Max noted
albeit reluctantly that she was scared of what she�d see on either face. *that�s
it! Its official, my life is fucked!* Max rolled her eyes and realized
that she was being majorly over dramatic. She smiled a bit at her earlier
conversation with Alec. *he does have a point I�m really big on over
exaggerating everything* mentally shrugging *what ev!*

She sighed in relief as Alec finally pulled in front of
Joshua�s house, Max was still unsure if Paige should be able to see where Eyes
Only lived but Logan was adamant about her trustworthiness; as the car stopped
fully Max jumped out of the car with a flourish, happy to be away from the
enticing female.

Max scanned the area and was happy that her sixth sense for
danger hadn�t been piqued she moved on towards the house not bothering to give
either a backward glance. She stood at the door and waited till she felt both
of them behind her before opening the door.

�This is where Eyes Only lives?� Paige stared wide eyed at
the dusty dirty house. *who the hell could live in such a dump?*
she thought snobbishly.

Alec just grunted in response and Max ignored her. Paige got
that predatory look in her eye as she once again walked in Max�s personal space
behind her.

�Or did you bring me here for other reasons� she breathed in her ear causing Max to jump and Alec
to growl. Giggling at the two of them she walked ahead and called out.

�Mr. Cale?�

They heard him before they saw him; well actually they smelt
him before they saw him. Logan
walked through the living room door and smiled apologetically. �Sorry I just grabbed a quick shower before
you arrived�

Max stepped forward and gave him a gentle smile realizing
that she had missed him despite how annoyed she felt with him. �Hey Logan�
she said sweetly.

Logan felt his
insides melt �hi Max� he then shifted his gaze to Paige �Ms Rownsdale, pleased
to meet you. I trust everything went by smoothly�

Paige looked over at the older man in distaste; she had
sensed how he had wanted her mate and immediately loathed him. She would admit
that despite his age he was handsome, his clean shaven face and damp wet sandy
brown hair over his cerulean blue eyes, he was a fine specimen for an ordinary.

Drawing her socialite skills to the forefront she grinned at
him �of coarse Mr. Cale� bowing her head slightly �your choice in escorts were
beneficiary to me and had kept me safe and...Entertained the ride over�

Logan not
catching on just nodded and smiled at the pretty brunette.

Max taking cue from Logan decided she had finished with this
strange assignment and desperately wanted to leave � Well that�s that� Looking
over at Alec �c�mon Alec lets blaze� then turning her gaze to Logan she
softened her eyes �Logan me and Alec are gonna blaze-�

�Max I need you still� Logan
said dismissively, as he walked them further into the house.

Max�s face dropped as did Alec at the thought of escaping this
creepy girl. �Why? What more could I possible be needed for?� her gaze wearily
on the predatory gaze directed her way once more from the brunette. �I did what
you wanted, got the girl, girl is safe, and girl is here. Easy and simple�

�I think we should have a seat, would anyone care for a
drink before we get started?� Logan
asked politely.

Max stood rooted to the floor glaring at it and cussing it
out as if it were Logan at that
instant. �Drinks?! Fuck the drinks I wana leave!� she said so quietly not even
transgenic hearing could hear it.

�Maxie?�

Alec�s soft gentle voice over her murderous thoughts
startled her. She gave him a questioning look and he motioned for her to take a
seat. �No, I�m good. I�ll stand�

Nodding Alec flopped down on his favorite recliner and
detached him self from what was happening around him. He didn�t know what it
was about this girl that got him on edge but he would remain cautious around
her.

Logan had been
conversing with Paige for a while before he finally addressed Alec and Max.

�Max there�s something about Paige you should know�

Max sat there and looked at Logan
waiting for him to continue. �Max, Paige is ...not just your normal human�
Raising her eyebrows at this Logan
continued �For centuries the Rownsdale�s have been special and unique amongst
other ordinaries�

�Yeah we got that Logan,
what we want to know is what makes her so different?�

Logan looked
from both transgenic to Paige �she�s, from what I can determine and from what
she has told me the cousin of a Familiar bloodline. The only branch off of the
Familiars actually�

Alec jumped up �what the fuck?!�

Max stared wide eyed, *I don�t feel any threat coming from her
though, I would have felt it if she was a danger to me, oh my god! Oh my god!
Okay, okay, need to relax, breath. What the fuck is happening here?!*,
then the fleeting thought *we really love the �what the fuck� phrase today
don�t we?* skirted through her over active mind.

�Logan-� Max
began but was cut off. *oh and apparently it�s �we love to cut Max
off� day as well* Max though petulantly.

�I knew you were different!� He glared towards the non
chalant beauty sitting daintily on the sofa, then sending his icy glare towards
Logan �How the fuck could you let
Max within a feet of this thing!�

�Alec-� Logan
began.

�Do you not have any fuckin clue the danger you could have
put her in. What if it was a trap?! You and your save the world bullshit will
be the end of her and I�m not gonna sit idly on the side lines and watch. For a
guy that claims to love her you really are a dumb blind fuck when it comes to
your missions�

�No hold on a minute I-�

�Geeze Logan you�re a regular Joe dandy aren�t you? Whatever
suites you is fine, just as long as you keep Max close. You�re fucking pathetic
man! You know that?� Alec knew he was over reacting but his need to find a flaw
in this female pushed him to his out burst, and the overwhelming instinct to
protect wasn�t helping him either. �I
can�t believe you!� and turning his deadly stare towards the still
unfazed socialite �you! what the fuck is your motive?! Who sent you? I swear to
god if you even think of coming near me or mine I will kill you!� advancing
towards her menacingly.

At this Paige stood up casually �your outta line there
soldier then giving him the once over �and frankly outta you depth�

Growling and lunging at her, he was stopped when someone blurred
in front of him and caught the blade the brunette had thrown his way. Alec was
stumped he didn�t even see her take it out.

�Shut up and stand down soldier!�

Max�s quiet and strong order penetrated his haze of rage and
Alec was left to look at a scared yet indifferent Logan, a still calm Paige and
a very, very pissed off C.O.

�Alec outside. NOW!�

With that she stalked out the front door without a backwards
glance at anyone else chucking the blade casually to the side.

�Great work Alec� he muttered to himself dejectedly as he
followed her outside bracing him self for her onslaught.

As he took in a deep breath and stepped out side closing the
door behind him, he could feel the immense anger coming off Max in waves and
was slightly pissed that she couldn�t for once see that he had valid points.

All of a sudden her scent changed drastically from one of
anger to immense confusion and frustration. Alec stood still and waited for Max
to acknowledge him. His breath caught when he caught a whiff of her tears and
was immediately at her side.

�Maxie?� he asked cautiously scared to touch her but
desperately wanting to.

�Alec...I�m so confused� He watched her shoulders sag and
her head drop.

Her soft whisper had surprised him especially as he was
prepared for her trademark hostility. The sadness, pain, frustration and
confusion in her voice carried into him and he felt it clench his heart as he
looked down into the teary confused eyes of the one he loved.

�Shhhh baby, its okay, I�m sure Logan
didn�t mean to do It.� he pulled her gently into his arms running a calming
hand up and down her spine. �You know how involved Logan
gets with his missions more than anyone, plus he was certain that you wouldn�t
be in danger and you weren�t so really there really isn�t anything to be upset
about. I-�

He was cut off by her quiet laughter and he looked down at
her teary yet amused face. It softened into a gentle smile �I love you ya know�
was her sweet admission.

Alec�s heart stopped �you treat me so good, you should hear
your self rambling on trying to get me to stop crying and assuring me of Logan�s
loyalty where not 2 minutes beforehand you were screaming bloody murder at him�

She giggled somewhat and Alec�s heart soared.

�You�re the best friend any one could ask for�

Before it pulled in to a powerful nose dive and crashed.

Alec hid his pain away from her loving eyes and smiled at
her, placing a small kiss to her forehead �love you too Maxie� and he blinked
away the blurriness in his eyes as he said them to her.

Max was grateful that Alec was thick because then she would
be in deep trouble, as much as it did bother her that Logan may have put her
life at unnecessary risk what got her water works going was the confusion she
felt towards the other girl. She was calmed and amused at Alec�s attempt at
comforting her over her �broken heart� towards Logan
and felt she had never really told him how much she appreciated him without any
coaxing from him.

She really did love Alec, its just she didn�t know which
love she felt and that in itself caused her more confusion. Shaking her head
she let go of him and gave him a smile reserved for him only. �Don�t think this
gets you off the hook though, I�m still pissed about what you said to Logan�

Alec smirked �what? Because you thought it too?�

�Not to mention that stunt you pulled on Paige� Max
continued.

�Ahh yes how could I have even dare cross your girlfriend�

Alec ducked away from Max and chuckled when she just glared
at him �sarcasm doesn�t solve anything Alec�

�But it provides me with great amusement Maxie� he shot back
cheekily.

Throwing her hands up in the air �You�re impossible!� she
gave him a final glare and marched into the house.

�Ok, what�s the dealio? How is she a cousin to the
Familiars? Do the Familiars even know about her? Does she know about us? Is she
a threat?�

Max pointedly kept her gaze on Logan
and blantedly ignored the girl giving the now customary predatory look.

It still unnerved her but she was willing to ignore it for
the time being while she got the information she needed. She could tell that Logan
was not getting anywhere with Paige and that Paige had seemed to now dismiss Logan
as she had reappeared in the room.

�She�s not a threat, I just want to make that clear from the
start, as to how she became the cousin instead of an actual familiar well its
all in her lineage and theirs she�s a branch off a pure blooded familiar clan
and has adopted all their traits but not their ways. The Familiars think of her
as a myth she�s just something the Familiars didn�t seem possible to happen
therefore forgot all about her, and yes she now knows all about you� Logan
took a breath and waited for my reply. I just nodded and sat down on the arm of
Alec�s recliner.

Nodding her head and accepting the information �what is it that
you would like me to do?�

Logan looked
sheepish and Max got a very bad feeling �what is it Logan?�

He sighed and looked at Max steadily �I need you to take her
to T.C with you�
