7:29 AM
Government Compound – Infirmary
Max woke up to the smell of antiseptic and the feel of restraints against her wrists. She didn’t even have to open her eyes to realize she was in the infirmary. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around, her view was limited but she could hear someone else breathing in the room.
“Hello again 452,” White said as he came into view.
“White,” she hissed, “I should’ve known.”
“Getting a bit lazy, 452; or maybe just a little too trusting of 494.” White replied, watching for a response.
“Y’know I’m getting really tired of these numbers. I’m Max. You got that?”
“Whatever, anyway, we’ll give you some time to recover, since we’re going to need you soon.” White said and then walked out.

7:42 AM
Government Compound – Holding Cell
“I told you,” Alec said as White hit him hard across the face. Alec spit blood and glared at White. Alec wrists were chained to the wall and his ankles were chained to the floor. There was little he could do to prevent White from hitting him.
“I know that you have what I need, what you were supposed to get for us, before you deserted, so just tell me where it is.”
“Like I’ve said…I have no idea what you are talking about.” Alec screamed. His face already was bruising from White’s assault.
“Well maybe you’ll think differently when it comes to the safety of 452.” White said and stormed out.
Alone with his thoughts, Alec focused solely on Max. ‘How could I have let her get involved in this. I should’ve told her everything. She needed to know that I was sent out in the world by White…even though Manticore was gone, he always kept tabs on me. I guess I thought I could protect her if I knew where that asshole was. I guess I was wrong. I think my feelings clouded my judgement, I guess Manticore was right, emotional attachments are deadly.’
Alec strained against his restraints trying to break free, after a few minutes he gave up. “Alright Alec, you’ve got to think, what were you trained to do if you were captured by the enemy. How were you taught to escape from these situations.’ Even though Alec tried to focus his thoughts kept wandering back to Max.
‘How is she doing? What has White told her, does she believe him? Should she believe him…’ “Alec stop it!” He screamed at himself. He quickly glanced at the door to see if anyone had heard. “Really bright,” he muttered under his breath.

7:46 AM
Government Compound – Security Office
“Report, Otto,” White said as he walked into the office.
“Well sir, 452 is recovering nicely…they said they want her in the infirmary at least another 12 hours, just to be on the safe side. And it seems that 494 is thinking about the conversation the two of you had…we believe that he might be close to his breaking point, and the girl is definitely a key to his psyche.” Otto rattled off as White checked the monitors.
“Very good,” White said as he poured a cup of coffee and sat at the desk, “maybe we won’t have to make things turn ugly after all.”
