Logan had made it to the stairwell again – but just as he got there – Ben caught up to him and grabbed him from behind, dragging him up the flight of steps instead of down which was where Logan had wanted to go.
“Bad kittycat – running away from me like that,” Ben said bouncing Logan up the steps.
The roof door opened and Logan felt the sudden rush of fresh air through him.
“Out of the copter,” Ben yelled at the pilot pointing the gun at him. Logan was struggling until Ben shifted his arm to put a choke hold on Logan.
The pilot got out and walked away. “Tell your boss, thanks. You can keep your hospital.”
Logan could see him with his failing eyesight as he began passing out. ‘Fuck – the guy was going to just leave him,’ Logan thought. “There’s no bomb!” Logan yelled.
The pilot turned around just in time to be shot by Ben.
Logan stared in shock. He’d just gotten that man killed.
Ben threw him in the helicopter into the co-pilot’s seat. He sat in the pilot’s seat.
“Sit quietly or I blow your leg off,” Ben said as he laid the gun in his lap to take control of the helicopter. Logan was sure Manticore training including piloting skills of all types.
----
As they took to the sky, the copter wobbled as a sudden weight on one side unbalanced them. Alec had leapt onto it.
Ben had already pulled into the Seattle skyline but he was controlling it with one hand. He grabbed the gun and pointed it at Logan.
“Don’t move, Alec, or Logan will die. What will you tell Maxie then?”
Alec froze.
Logan was mute as the copter took off. As it turned he noted the pilot had sat up feeling around his chest. With a sigh of relief, he realized the man had been wearing a bullet-proof vest
and for fifteen minutes, Ben flew on – past the Needle, past the sector limits and over country-side.
It was the longest 15 minutes of Logan’s life. Ben had rambled on to Alec about how they could share Logan now that he knew Logan was part of him as well as them being a part of Logan. How the upcoming woods would provide cover for the perfect hunt. How they could erase Maxie from Logan’s skin. Whenever Logan tried to turn to look at Alec – Ben raised the gun and told him not to move. Logan shivered from the damp chill now sinking into his bare chest. Ben rubbed the gun along Logan’s side and thighs and began stroking between them.
“Spread your legs, Logan,” Ben said quietly, still looking ahead and flying.
When Logan didn’t comply, he released the safety. Logan slid his legs apart. Ben began to rub the barrel of the gun along Logan’s cock. “Just think of what we talked about Logan. How you’ll be able to feel this sliding inside you,” Ben whispered.
Logan tried not to vomit at the tone in Ben’s voice.
The wind picked up strongly, buffeting the helicopter. Ben lost balance a bit and Logan took a chance. He grabbed the butt of the gun and began wrestling with it. Alec leapt into the fray. The gun changed angles and went off. Instead of hitting Logan or Alec, it went through the roof.
The shock of the blast startled Ben and his hand relaxed a bit. Logan pounded on it until he released the gun, which tumbled to the floor. The helicopter tilted almost sideways. Ben fell towards him but Alec grabbed him and pulled him towards the back.
The helicopter was beginning to careen out of control but Logan grabbed the controls to straighten it out. He’d had a pilot’s license for small aircraft since he was 18. He noticed the gauges were off. They were losing power.
He could feel Ben and Alec fighting in the back. Each time they tumbled to one side – the copter shifted. Logan saw smoke beginning to billow around them. ‘Shit – they hit something vital,’ he thought. He struggled to keep them in flight.
Logan noticed there was a wide expanse of trees ahead of them. He pointed the copter in that direction in case they went down.
He felt a fast rush of air and looked back. He was having a hard time controlling the vehicle but he could see that Ben had opened the side unit and had Alec pinned to the floor. He could see Ben was talking animatedly to Alec but couldn’t hear them over the noise of the air and the copter.
He tilted the copter hard to the side which caused Ben to lose his balance and slide backwards. Alec slid towards him as well but was able to roll back over.
They continued fighting but Logan couldn’t see them – he could only hear an occasional grunt and shuffle.
The gun had slid under Logan’s feet. He quickly picked it up. Just as he sat back up to take control, an arm reached around his throat.
“Drop it. Surrender.”
Logan had this silly random thought of an old scene from Galaxy Quest “Never give up, never surrender” go through his head. He pointed the gun and fired at the man’s arm.
Ben screamed and let go.
Logan turned just in time to see Alec raise his leg and kick Ben out of the open door. Ben went screaming out of the copter and into the trees below.
Alec shut the door and plopped into the seat next to Logan. He stared straight ahead of him, pale.
“Can you fly this thing?” Alec asked without looking at Logan.
“Yeah…Is he…” Logan asked.
Alec looked out the window. “Don’t think anyone would survive that.”
Logan breathed a sigh of relief. The nightmare was over.
“Wasn’t all his fault,” Alec said quietly.
Logan didn’t answer. He was concentrating on flying and not passing out.
Alec continued on, “It was the Lorazepan. I could smell it in his blood. In Ordinaries – it’s used to ease anxiety and in conscious sedation although it can cause amnesia in high doses but in X-5’s we have a very different reaction.”
“So he’d have been okay once it was out of his system,” Logan asked.
“Well – if he wasn’t a Hunter and hadn’t had prey targeted, yeah...maybe...”
“That means?” Logan asked not sure if he wanted to know.
“Once a Hunter gets the scent of prey in their system, there’s nothing they won’t do to catch them. But the drug probably caused him to trigger – to identify the prey. I’m no expert but that’s part of why he focused on you.”
“I thought it was Max and you and the transfusions?” Logan said.
“Oh yeah – well – those too. Just – there were a lot of factors. The drug was just the catalyst. Don’ ever let anyone give it to me is all I’m saying.”
Logan nodded. He would be damn sure they never had it.
“We need to crash the copter, Logan,” Alec said after a moment.
“What?
“Too much DNA evidence.”
Logan understood. Couldn’t leave Transgenic blood behind. Although – what was at the hospital might be damning enough. That wasn’t Alec’s real issue but he knew Alec didn’t want to admit it.
The pilot had seen Ben. The staff had seen Ben. That would make Alec a target unless they thought him dead.
Logan managed to aim the copter towards the trees as well hoping no one lived below them. There was a lake nearby. Just before they hit – Alec and he jumped out into the water hoping it was deep enough. Alec had wrapped himself around Logan to better protect the man.
The shock almost knocked Logan out cold but he felt Alec pull him up above the water and to the shoreline. He tried to stand but wobbled and fell over.
Logan wished he had his exoskeleton. His legs had now given up. He was barely mobile. He could barely stand let alone walk. He could smell the scent of smoke from the crash of the helicopter. He knew emergency crews would be arriving at the site soon. Alec had to partially carry him to safety in the other direction.
He wondered how he’d get the exoskeleton back.
He decided it was something to sort out later. At least he was safe and alive for now. Something he was sure he’d never be again.
