"Man, I went through hell and back to get this gun. I had to brown nose like, 23402384 people. At least keep it as a trophy, a memory."

A back-up I suppose.

He grabbed it and threw it over his shoulder. It was light...

Seth was glad he took it. Whether it ever got used or not, it would be fine. He also had another gift. One with more sentimental value...

After doing research online, he found a picture of Travis, holding a young child. He noticed that picture hadn't been anywhere in the room. He pulled it out from under the box and handed it to him. On the back was an engraving.

"To the Dad of the group, and the family man."

Seth grinned, because he also thought up that quote.

All he could do was smile. He did'nt know what to say. He didn't put the photo on the shelf, insetad he put in what he refered to as "the place of honor", his headboard. All he could do was muster an awkward a grin.

"you can have a moment now."

Seth hobbled back into his office, surrounded by his guns. After shutting his laptop down, he walked into max's room.

She wasn't there, and it all came together.

Rose and Max getting ambushed alone...Rose disappearing when Seth and Travis were gone...everything came to him.

She's a damned traitor!

Seth went back into the office, grabbed his dad's gun, a large .357 magnum revolver with a 6" barrell, and a few speedloaders. He also grabbed a shotgun, slung it on his back, and carried his m4.

He knew tonight would go wrong.

Max sat with the attack force and waited. She saw Seth in her head and felt a quick stab of pain.

Seth was angry, and reasonably so. He had just been betrayed by whom he actually felt safe with. No wonder she wanted his weapons away.

He knew he was completely outnumbered and outmatched. He was a simple human with a hurt knee. He wouldn't be able to retreat when the fight started. Thinking that, he made sure his guns were loaded, and stepped out into the hallway, walking towards the front door.

He'd be ready for them.

His nose twitched. He could smell people...people he'd never smelt before...he was confused. Then it hit him. An attack. He grabbed the sword and the machine gun and ran outside, lurkin in the darkness. He knew they couldn't sense him, or know he was there in any way. He was one of them...he would blend in perfectly.

"Goodbye." Bitter sweet farewell. Max walked in and located Seth. The gun pressed against her thigh seemed to grow bigger as she pulled it out. Her own design...ironic.

He saw Max, she looked determied. Perhaps she was hunting the inturders as well, but something was wrong about her.

He kept his distance, following behind her...invisible...

When he saw her moving in the hallway, she reached down to her thigh...he felt uncomfortable, but this was Max. She was one of the good guys.

Max flicked on her headset. "I'm in. If I die, pull back. Remember not to kill Travis or Derric."

He heard her words, but he couldn't believe them. She was a traitor...a villain...but no...she was Max. Seth and her were madly in love, she was one of Travis' best friends...

He would have attacked, but those thoughts held him back. Why did they want him alive...wait...he was the super soldiers mix they needed...he was they reason they had come. He had ruined Seths life...

"I know Kane: I'm your property. You saved me, I won't betray you." Max was truthful. If Kane hadn't helped her as a baby, her lycan half would have killed her.

He coulnd't believe what he was hearing. It was him and Seth...alone...betrayed, no Rose and against an army...it was their final stand.
