Logan's Apartment
Logan was awakened by the sound of the phone ringing. He glanced up and realized he had once again fallen asleep at his computer. 'What was I working on?' Logan thought as he reached for his glasses. He then slipped them on and proceeded to answer the phone.
"Yea?" Logan said sleepily, as he shut down his computer. No response came, just some static.
"Hello?" Logan said feeling a bit agitated and prepared to hang up the phone.
"…Logan, we've encountered some….Max's been…we need you to…see who is behind this and try to hack the communications." Alec said breathlessly over the static.
"Alec? What happened, what's going on?" Logan asked becoming frantic.
"I don't have time to explain now…they are getting closer…do what you can, I'll try to get back into the city," Alec was trying to be patient but this was wasting precious time that he and Max didn't have.
"Alright, Alec. Stay on the line so I can trace your position." Logan quickly turned on his PC and started a trace. "Just another minute."
"Alright, I'll…" Alec was cut off by another voice.
"Hang up the phone now and put your hands above your head." An authoritative male voice said. "We've been waiting for you to take the bait 494 and you too, 452."
Logan pressed the phone as hard as he could to his ear in hopes of catching more of the conversation…then he heard the electrical zing from a tazer followed by the phone clicking off.
"DAMMIT," Logan said as his computer notified him that the trace was unsuccessful.

6:03 AM
Outside Seattle
A man wearing a dark blue suit walked out of a black government issue sedan and approached the unconscious Alec and injured Max.
"Nice to see you again 452," White said as he looked down at the once powerful X-5s.
"Sir, anything else? Sir," the officer asked White.
"No, you've done a fine job here. You're services are no longer needed." White said. And with that the officer and his colleagues left the area.
"Otto, bring the car around and let's get some nice handcuffs and anklecuffs on our guests."
"Today's just not your day, is it?" White asked as he picked up the package Alec had been carrying and headed back to his car. Max tried to get up and one of the guards knocked her back down.
"I wouldn't try that again if I were you, after that explosion it's probably best for you to sit still until you get some medical attention." White said over his shoulder.
"It was you who set the bomb, you bastard." Max said as the guards cuffed her. "You sent the anonymous tip…that just ended up getting to us." Max's mind was working lightning fast…but she knew to stay quiet. Alec stirred next to her and then the two were hauled into a van.
*In the van
“Alec, are you okay?” Max whispered to him.
“I’m fine Max…I’m really sorry about this,” Alec said, without looking at her.
“It’s not your fault. But right now we have more important things to worry about like kicking White’s ass and re-indoctrination, and experimentation…and...” Max trailed off; what was supposed to lighten the mood just made it seem a lot darker.
“Max before things get to ugly there is something that I need to tell you.” Alec looked at her with a serious expression, but before he could continue the guards turned around and they both fell silent.
A little while later they were blindfolded and the trip continued for what seemed like eternity, when the van then came to a sudden stop and Max and Alec were escorted roughly from the van.
