DARK ANGEL
It was a wonder why people liked to get drunk. Max smiled lopsidedly. If this was how it felt to be drunk, she was never going to have another beer again. Whatever they gave her, it numbed everything. Even her thoughts weren't exactly organized. Every once in a while someone would open her eyelid and flash a light in her eye. It was annoying and it hurt because it was so bright. She wasn't gone like she was before, no she couldn't get away. But she couldn't really comprehend anything. Things would go into the computer, but come back out a mess.
It was kinda of nice now to be in a hole, but it wasn't great that she felt as if the world were spinning. Everything went so fast. If she tried to touch it, it was already gone. What was 'it'? She wasn't even sure. It was crazy how one could babble without saying anything. Then red flashed in her eyes and loud siren rang in her ears. She tried to cover her ears, but her hands were tied down. So she lay there, waiting for the noise to finally end. The pain became so intense she passed out.

Alec ran into the main building crashing into a doctor. Before the man could even yell, he was dead. Ignoring his conscious, he looked in all the rooms. It took him ten minutes to find the room. At first he hadn't recognized her with all the wires and tubes. He slammed through the door and started quickly but carefully taking off the wires. Then he pulled the tubs hoping that they weren't life support.
"Wait." A man yelled behind him. Without thinking, Alec yanked his gun out and shot behind him, killing the man. He didn't even look to see who it was. When he unhooked her from every machine known to man, he threw a towel over her and lifted her up. He also had to ignore how light she was. Pushing the detonator on the bomb, Alec headed out.
Stepping over the man in the door way, Alec jogged to the entrance. He met a wall of soldiers. His heart pumped adrenaline through his body, he had four and a half minutes before the whole place exploded.
"Stop right there and put her down. Then get on your knees with your hands behind your head. " one of the soldiers commanded him. All of them looked alike with their uniforms and helmets.
"There's a bomb set inside the building. So if you don't mind, I'd rather not be here when it goes off." Alec growled. The doors behind the human wall shattered and Fred stepped through. The wall was down in seconds, the problem was that those seconds made it even harder to get out without being blown to pieces.
Alec ran as hard as he had ever run before. It felt kind of like one of those post pulse movies like Forest Gump. He would have laughed if this situation was so serious. He wasn't even computing anything that had happened, not until they were far enough to be able to watch the fireworks without being in them. Fred and Joe were both behind him running. He wasn't even going to ask where Moe was. Not until this whole ordeal was over with.
After running a hundred feet from the entrance gate, Alec stopped to take a breathing. They were far enough. That was a good thing since the building exploded right when he stopped. Putting Max softly on the ground, Alec took a breather and finally let things seep in as he flopped down next to Max on the soft pine needles.
Zack was dead, Moe was probable also dead. He wasn't even sure what shape Max was in. All he knew was that she was breathing when he had picked her up. Now he looked over to her, her eyes were slightly open.
"I guess I woke up just in time for the fireworks." Max coughed trying to sit up.
"You should have seen the pre-show." Alec replied exhausted. He nodded to Fred, thanking him for the save. Fred nodded back trying to catch his breath. They probable would be part of the rubble if it wasn't for him. "Max, never ever do that again. Save your own butt before you try to save someone else's."
Max slowly sat up. She painfully groaned and then leaned on his chest for support. Not replying to what he had just told her, she watched the place burn down. He could see it in her eyes, the quieting of her soul. It was finally over. The terrifying fear of being caught. He also could feel the same sensation that it was over. No more running, no more hiding.
He was about to tell her about Zack, but he figured it could save. She wasn't in the best condition and he wasn't going to risk losing her mentally. In time he would tell her and she would hate him forever...
