Elements Of The Heart

~Max~

~Max~

Max crouched down behind a dumpster.
Alright...
He thought.
Parker told me to meet her her-
His thoughts were interrupted by a sharp tap on his shoulder. It was exactly who he was waiting for.
"Listen you idiot,"
She started.
"If you screw up, and get me caught, I'll kill you, you understand?! My best friend is in there and I'm planning to get her out. If by any means you compromise my mission I will-"
"Kill me? Yeah I know...don't worry. I told you, I won't get in the way...I just need an entrance. As long as you give it to me, I won't screw up."
Max protested.
"Alright..."
The brown haired girl handed Max an earpiece. Parker then stood in front of Max.
"We can communicate through this earpiece,"
She started.
"And Val when we get close enough"
"Okay great."
He stated.
"We need a diversion so I'll make it seem like I lost my dog,"
She whispered.
"Then while the guards are gone, you get into the facility and I'll jack it so you don't have to deal with any distractions or security measures deal?"
"Deal."
Max scooted himself to the edge of the dumpster, and Parker got up.

"HELP ME!"
She cried.
"Ma'am can we help you this is a "No Pedestrian" zone."
The man held a huge hand out in front of her.
"M-my dog! It went through your fence right over there!"
Parker exclaimed, pretending to be out breath. The man looked suspiciously at her. He held his walkie talkie at the ready.
"We didn't see any dog pass by here ma'am..."
"Obviously you didn't because it was the back fence...please help me that dog is the only thing that keeps me going everyday..."

Damn,
Max thought to himself.
She's good.
Max then heard scriffuling along the entrance.
"She did it...the guards are out of place!"
Max said, under his breath. At that very moment Max got out his student ID and an extra phone battery he had stolen from his robotics class. He went up to the door, and inserted the phone battery into the slot. Then he took his student ID card to swipe. Then he noticed something.
"Shiznit"
He said in a whisper. Parker spoke into her earpiece.
"Max?!! What the hell?!!"
"Parker...I forgot the copper wiring! It's  still behind the dumpster!"
"DAMNIT MAX!"
"Screw this Parker, I'm making a run for them!"
"Max don't be an idiot don-"
Max turned off his earpiece, then bolted straight for the dumpster. But there was one thing...he didn't feel himself moving closer to it. Instead he felt numb and loopy. All he could hear was:
"M aaaaaa Xxx"
When suddenly, he passed out.

A doctor wheeled in Max's body into a detainment room. As the doctor walked out, she locked the door.

Max suddenly awoke to a startling door close. He was lying in a bed, but not cuffed to it.
What the hell?!
He thought.
Shiz...where's Parker.
He got up, and looked across from him. There she was. She looked so alone...so scared...so painful.

"M-Max?"
The voice cried weakly.
"V-Valentina?!"
"What are you doing here"
Before Max could answer, Valentina pulled him straight into a hug. Max stood there shocked.
"Where's Parker? Is she okay? Are you okay? Why are you in here?"
"Hey, heyyyyyy. Calm down, one question at a time."
"Where is Parker?"
She asked more aggressively.
"To be honest with you...I don't know. She was our diversion for the guards to get you out of this god forsaken prison. By best bet is that she escaped."
Max could hear Valentina her a sigh of relief. Then she gave him a curious look.
"Why are you here?"
"Parker recruited me to get you out. I was about to open the door, when guards caught me."
Valentina hugged him again. This time, Max hugged back.
"I'm so sorry...we screwed up...real bad."
"It's okay....I'm sure we will all figure all something out."

~Several hours later~

Valentina paced back and forth across the room.
"Ugh it's almost night time...Max...what are we going to do?! You're parents don't know your in here and-"
Valentina stopped her rambling to take a sharp look at Max.
"You're not listening to me you oaf!"
Max stared at the ceiling.
"Ma-"
Max cut Valentina off with a hand across her face.
"Shhhh listen!"
Small rumbles, came from the airway.
"Max...it's getting hot."
"So it's not just me!"
Suddenly they felt a giant wave of heat pass over them and behind them. They stood in fear as they turned around to see the vent door melting, and oozing. It was red hot and looked as if it had come directly from a volcano eruption. Then, a strickingly sporty young man hopped down from the melting vent. Along with a girl Valentina familiarized herself with.
"PARKER!"
"VALENTINA"
The two girls clashed into a hug. Once they seperated, Parker waved hello to Max and gave him a hug also.
"Hey guys sorry I'm late"
Parker started with a huge grin on her face.
"I'd like you to meet Ren."
