Logan saw a black car and black van, both with very tinted windows, drive up and Lydecker and his men get out. They went into the apartment building, and returned a couple minutes later with Kairos. Neither of them made eye contact, but Logan knew Aaron had fallen for Kairos' trick. As the car, followed closely by the van, drove past Logan pretended to be fumbling with his radio.
Round one, he said to himself. Hold on Max.
~*~
Kairos wondered how far and how long they'd ridden in the van when it stopped. There were no windows in the back, so she couldn't see where they were, or whether or not Logan had been able to keep up without looking suspicious. She hoped, for sake of getting away, they weren't far from the city. And she hoped even more, that Logan had been able to follow-- because who cared how far away they were if they had no get away car?
"Come with us," a bulky security guard told Kai, pulling her arm roughly. She fought the urge to make a face and call the guard a rather insulting name.
"Where are we?" she said instead. Lydecker, who'd gotten out of his car, (obviously), smiled and put a hand on Kairos' shoulder.
"You're home," he told her. Kairos forced a smile and followed them into a very large and futuristic, (even for 2019, which isn't, by the way, vey far in the future), looking building.
~*~
Logan wasn't sure how accurate the mile counter was on his car, but it was displaying 16 miles, (from Logan's, not Aaron's), and that seemed good enough for him. When Lydecker's car and the black van parked, Logan sped past and then parked his own car out of view. All he could do now was listen and wait. (Kairos had one of the "sound sensitive ear pieces" in her left ear and Logan had the other end in his ear. In other words, Logan was able to hear everything going on inside the building as long as Kairos was there).
~*~
"All right, let's go," a guard told Kairos. They were standing next to a receptionist type counter. Lydecker had dissappeared, along with many of the other bodyguards. There were only three or four standing around. Kairos slowly unzipped the coat she was wearing, (which was lined with a thin, yet strong bullet vest), eyeing one of the security cameras. Under it, was a small and powerful hand gun. She pulled it out and pointed it at the guard.
"I turned myself in. And I'll do whatever you want, but I get to see Max first," she demanded, waving the gun in his face. The guard reached for his own gun, but Kai's enhanced reflexes got there first. She unloaded it and dropped it to the floor. Kai pointed the small gun at the other guards standing in the corridor. They held their hands up, dropping their weapons as well. "Let's go."
"Where?" asked one of the guards. An older male, who had the most crystal blue eyes Kai had ever seen.
"To wherever Lyfu-- Lydecker is holding Max," Kairos told him.
"This way," he said. Kairos followed him through halls and doors and more halls. Finally, after what seemed to be an eternity, he pulled out a key ring with several keys and unlocked the simple wooden door in front of them.
~*~
Max was startled to hear someone unlock the door. The shots Lydecker had been giving her the past couple hours were starting to make her gittery, and she knew she wouldn't be able to stand many more.
Just part of the process of disection, Max said to herself. When the door began to open, she felt her heart sink.
Why the fuck did I let myself fall for that damn trap?! she asked herself.
~*~
Kairos couldn't help the gasp which escaped from her lips when she saw her sister's state. Kai and Logan hadn't put anything in the plan about Max not being up to escaping.
"Give us a minute alone," Kairos pleaded.
"All right," the guard told her, clearly not pleased with the idea. "But, give me that gun." Kairos handed it over almost too quickly, and then went to Max. The guard closed the door behind him as he left.
"Are you all right?" Kai asked, sitting down on the bed next to Max.
"He's been giving me," Max said. She closed her eyes. "every half hour he comes in--" Max put her head into her hands, trying to stop the tears that she didn't want Kai to see.
"Max what happened? What'd who do to you?" Kairos asked, trying to get Max to look at her. Finally, she just took Max's shoulders into her hands and turned Max towards her. She looked into her sisters eyes, searching for the answer. "Please just tell me!"
"You have to get out of here, Kai," Max told her. Max carefully pulled up her sleeve, exposing the places where Lydecker had been giving her the shots.
"I'm gonna kill that son of a--" The door clicked open and Kairos didn't finish her sentence. It was the guard. Only, Lydecker was with him now, and he had another syringe in his hand.
"All right, time's up, Ladies," Lydecker told the girls. Kairos stoof up in front of Max. Smiling sweetly, she put her hands behind her back.
"I'm so glad," Kairos began, pulling a second gun out from under her shirt, "we found each other," she continued, slipping the gun to Max. Max stood up, relying somewhat on Kairos.
"That's good to hear," Lydecker said, lowering his eyebrow at Max. "Is there something wrong?" Lydecker questioned Max.
"Max is fine," Kairos said.
"Max?" asked Lydecker. He'd hadn't known that the soldiers had given themselves names, though it made sense. "Very fitting," he commented, "cause you are the maximum of every capability available to modern man." Kairos tried not to laugh at this.
"Gee, thanks," was all Max could say.
"Come on," Lydecker said to Kai. Kai smiled, then turned her back to Lydecker, facing Max. They looked at each other, and something strange happened, something unexplainable, something that could only happen between sisters. Max smiled, and Kairos turned back around, whipping out yet another gun, (she's loaded...).
"You know, now's not really good for me," Kairos said. Lydecker's eyes fell to the gun in Kai's hands.
"I thought you took her firearm away," raged Lydecker. The guard gaped.
"I- I did, sir!"
"Well, then how'd she get it back?" Lydecker yelled. The guard held up the gun he'd taken from Kairos earlier.
"It's right here," the guard said. Lydecker grabbed it from him, pointing it at Kai and Max. Kairos smiled.
"And unloaded," she told them. The guard pulled his loaded gun out of his holster and pointed it in Max and Kai's direction. But they weren't there.
"Over here," Max said, finally speaking. She was on the left side of the room, Kai on the other.
"Okay, very funny," Lydecker told them. "Games over." Lydecker called for security on his walkie-talkie.
"Sorry," Max said, cocking her head to the side. "Gotta blaze."
And with that, she kicked Lydecker hard in the face, Kai, knocking the gun out of the guards hands at the same time. They high-fived each other then strolled out into the corridor. All the while, Max hiding that she was in pain.
Outside, there were about ten security guards dressed in black uniforms rushing towards Max and Kai. The sprinted, but Max had a hard time keeping up. They were only twenty feet from the building's exit when Max fell to the cold tile floor.
"Kai!" she screamed. Kairos turned on her heels and rushed back to Max. The guards were gaining on them, and by this time Lydecker had recovered. He was leading them, and the odd thing was they weren't running or in any sort of hurry.
"Come on," Kai told her sister, helping her up. Suddenly there was a loud clap and now Kairos screamed. "Damn it! God, damn it, you mother fuckin' son of a bitch!" she yelled over and over, holding her shoulder.
"Kai, what is it?" Max asked. Kai moved her hand from her shoulder. It was bleeding profusely, and Max's eyes widened. Exactly the reason she despised guns. They made her nervous, and they were too dangerous for their own good.
"Max," Kai said like a small child, swallowing hard. Max thought she was going to explode. Kai was right, Lyfucker was a son of a bitch.
"Can you stand?" she asked, closing her eyes tight as she stood up herself. Kai got up, wincing. Then, without warning at all, Max turned and held up the gun Kairos had given her. She shot and shot not caring what she hit.
After a couple seconds, Max dropped the gun, looking at her hands ashamed. Some guards had been injured, and even Lydecker was lying on the ground in pain.
"Let's get away while we can," Kai yelled. Max, unable to control her emotions over what she'd done, nodded, letting Kairos lead her out of the building.
"You can't leave," Lydecker whispered painfully. But Max and Kairos were already gone.
~*~
Max slept in the car on the way back to Seattle. Logan knew a couple people at the hospital downtown that treat both Max and Kairos without any questions.
~*~
A couple weeks passed and Kairos' shoulder recovered quickly. In the genes. Max, who'd been given high dosages of an "unidentifiable" depressant, was out and about again. Normal had even spared her her job, though he swore it would be the last time.
~*~
Max sat on top of the Space Needle, hugging her knees.
It was probably the scariest thing that's happened yet. But, that's twice we've been able to escape from Lydecker's grasp, and more than likely won't be the last," Max thought to herself.
So, I guess I owe Logan one. Maybe I can save a friend of his from being killed off by some sort of law-breaking ambassador. Or not. I'm just glad he's knew what to do, cause without Logan's help I'd be lying on a lab bed right now.
And then there's Kairos. We're not sure what we'll do about Aaron turning us in, but I'm sure it won't be something negative. Times are tough, and even I have done things before that I regret.
Maybe now that Kairos and I know that we make a great team, we can find the others easier. I'd like that, and I think she would too.
Max's pager buzzed.
"Damn," she said. "Logan can't live a minute without me..."
