=========================

Alexis woke up the next morning relived that it was all just a dream, she smiled and snuggled even more in to the cotton sheets but then she opened her eyes and noticed that last night wasn't just a bad dream and this nightmare is still happening, she'd like to say that the only good thing about this is Logan being back but even he's completely different from the boy she helped with his schoolwork and the boy that held her close when they watched a movie together.

Alexis sat up in the bed and could see down into the living space, she could see Logan awake and sat on the couch doing something but what she can't see.

Alexis got out the bed wearing the vest she borrowed and still his boxers, it felt a little strange at first but after sleeping in them she actually thinks their pretty comfy.

Alexis: What're you doing? 

Alexis asked walking over to Logan and sitting on the sofa beside him, Logan was cleaning his gun while he looked to her and stared to put the gun back together.

Logan: Take care of your gun and it'll take care of you.

Logan seemed pleased with that and Alexis is actually not sure how she feels about guns, part of her hates them but another part of her knows that the guns don't kill people but the person behind the gun pulls the trigger or maybe she just can't bring herself to believe that Logan is a killer and not the sweet guy she fell in love with all that time ago.

Logan: Don't bother with the shower, we'll head out in a little while, grab some food and go straight to your place so you can get something to wear.

Logan stood up and instantly ran to the top level to get dressed, Alexis was left alone with Logan's gun and curiosity got the best of her once again, she picked up the weapon and held it in her hands just looking over the gun, she isn't silly enough to go near the trigger.

Logan: You having fun?

She turned around to see Logan wearing a suit again, this time with a tie instead of a bow tie...

... She wondered how he got changed into the suit so quickly but didn't ask as he put on after shave and other things, that confused her as he walked out the nearby bathroom.

Logan: What? Just because I kill people doesn't mean I can't look and smell good when I do it.

Alexis couldn't really argue with that and followed Logan out the apartment after he took his gun and put it in his holster on the inside of his jacket on his left side, Alexis was a little embarrassed as she's wearing his vest and his boxers but luckily it's pretty much two steps from his apartment door to the elevator, the the same for the bottom of the lift to his car.

Alexis was still amazed by the car he has.

Logan: So we're gonna get you some clothes and then a bit to eat...

Alexis listened to the American James Bond as they both got into the car, Logan pressed the button to turn on the engine Alexis got comfy till Logan said something she didn't want to hear.

Logan: ... Then I'm dropping you off somewhere safe.

Logan started to make their way towards her parents house as Alexis looked to him clearly confused and frustrated by why he's doing that.

Alexis: Why!

Logan jumped a little by her shouting, he didn't think she would do that, he expected a small backlash but not this.

Alexis: But I'm safe here right?

She asked generally not fully understanding the situation, so Logan explained it as simple as he could.

Logan: Lexi, I'm compromised, last night an entire hall of people who know my saw my face and clearly saw it was me...

Logan spoke while focusing on the road, Alexis however was facing him trying to finally understand what's going on.

Logan: ... No matter what happens, I'm a dead man walking. For real this time, I'm just trying to clear your name before it's to late.

Logan accepted his fate and knows that it's over for him, if this was 12 years ago they might have just cleared his memory of the past year but wiping an entire 13 years is pretty much killing them so they just do it, a bullet's cheaper then a memory wiping device.

Alexis: But I don't want you to go...

Logan stopped the car at a red light and looked to her, he doesn't want to go either but there isn't anything he can do, he's been with a top secret organisation for 13 years he knows shit the directors don't and a lot of it is National Security level.

Logan: We all do things we don't want Lexi...

Alexis sighed thinking and believing she going to lose him again, without even getting to say goodbye properly.

Logan: ...We just play the game of life and move on.

Logan continued their way to Alexis' home and Logan pulled the car to the curb, Logan told her to wait and he got out then walked towards the door, Alexis watched as Logan pulled a gun out and opened the door, Alexis jumped out the car though when she heard a scream from in the house.

Alexis ran and saw Logan standing in the living room holding his gun up and her parents looking scared.

Alexis: Mom!? Dad!?

Logan looked to her shocked and cursed as he put his gun away.

Angela: Lex? Who is this guy?

Alexis stayed near Logan but he rubbed his face annoyed with this situation.

Alexis: You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

She told them honestly, Alexis looked to see their suitcases on the floor meaning the must have just got back, also Ryan's body isn't here so he must still be breathing.

Logan: Lexi. We haven't got time for this...

Logan didn't know what he did but he must have screwed up because her parents looked to him like he was a Ghost.

Angela: Logan?

Logan then realised what he did, he's the only one that does and has ever called her "Lexi" and now he's shot himself in the foot.

Logan: Nope. Don't know the fella.

That didn't work and both Bob and Angela hugged Logan making him sigh and look a little annoyed, not because their hugging him but because they now know he's alive making them targets for the NDA.

Bob: How are you...?

Logan knew what he was about to be asked and cut him off pulling out the hug.

Logan: Alive? I'm not and were not here so just pretend like you never saw me...

That didn't work and they clearly needed the entire story to understand what's going on so Alexis sat her family down and started to explain, Logan just stood by the door leaning on the wall not wanting this to be a delay but here they are.

There was just one problem, Alexis doesn't even know what's going on.

Logan: Okay, I'm gonna make this quick.

Logan has all eyes on him as he told the story as quick and detailed as possible.

Logan: 13 years ago I was approached by two men pretending to be NSU agents...

Logan stopped as Angela had a question.

Angela: What's NSU.

Logan: Nothing, it doesn't exist but they had a badge and a way over complicated name for it made sense to me that they were an American Agency.

Alexis, Bob and Angela took that answer as it made sense but Logan didn't have much time to waste.

Logan: ... So they asked me where my father was and I told them, next thing I know my house is on fire with my dad and sister inside, I know there was nothing I could do but the same men drove away from the house, those asshole killed all I had because I told them where to go.

In 13 years Logan's never actually spoke about this, not to this kind of detail anyway.

Logan: I was then giving a choice, stay alive and put you three in danger or die in that fire and kill the bastards. So now...

Logan stopped once again when Bob had a question.

Bob: Why would we have been in trouble?

Logan sighed and thought back to the day, back to the day when he died.

Logan: Because I was supposed to be in the fire, I was supposed to die that day but I survived and I'm the only one up to now that has seen them. I was instantly in danger when I decided to walk hoe instead of drive or take the bus, meaning that the people I cared about were also in danger...

Bob nodded understanding what he was just told, Angela was a little confused still but Alexis only took one thing out from all that.

Alexis: So, you didn't leave me, you left to keep me safe.

Logan nodded and went back to leaning with his arms folded, Alexis stood up to say something to him but Logan's phone went off making him answer it to hear Micheal's voice.

Micheal: Hey, kid. We go the location.

Logan nodded to himself for that not liking the aura now in the room, Logan just opened up to people for the first time since his funeral and he doesn't like that feeling.

Logan: Okay, where are they?

Logan walked to the corner of the room away from prying ears but they could still hear him.

Micheal: How's your Spanish?

Logan shrugged.

Logan: No soy tan male, me vendria bien un poco de practica.

(I Don't know if that's right. Blame Google Translate)

Logan smiled to hearing Micheal chuckle on the other side of the phone.

Micheal: Well good hunting kid.

Logan stopped him before Micheal could hang up the phone though wanting to ask for one more favour.

Logan: ... I need a safe house set up for Alexis' parents. 

Bob and Angela got worried still sitting down as Alexis indicated for them to trust him.

Logan: No they don't know about me. Their just targets for the NSU Agents.

Logan stopped and hung up the phone looking to Alexis and her parents.

Logan: You two are going to be taken to a safe house not far from here, Duncan Blake is one of the two people I trust in this world and he'll keep an eye on you both...

Bob and Angela nodded as Logan put his phone away in his jacket inside pocket, Logan looked outside making sure their still safe but Alexis didn't have her job.

Alexis: What about me?

Logan looked to her and thought about it, it's Thursday right now and she has RAW on Monday, Logan needs to get her home and safe for that.

Logan: Pack warm. We're going to Mexico.

Logan smiled as Alexis ran to get a few things, Logan then spoke to Bob and Angela for the time until they needed to leave for Mexico...

=========================

Meanwhile in a safe house in LA, Micheal stepped out of a closed off corner and walked into a busy living space tasked with finding and now killing Logan, turns out Logan is as good as they say because they still haven't found him, not just that but Micheal's been throwing them off the scent.

Duncan: Is everything good?

Micheal looked to see his second best Agent by his side, Duncan Blake, Micheal nodded and gave Duncan his mission to keep the Kaufmann's safe but before Duncan left he turned back to stepped back to Micheal his body facing the door while Micheal's back's to the door.

Duncan: Do you really think Logan can do this?

Duncan knows that Logan's good but is he good enough for this, Micheal thought about the question and looked to he board with all of Logan's safe houses and other popular destinations on it.

Micheal: The NDA, NSU, FBI, CIA and most of the countries police force against one man...

Micheal looked away from the board and to Duncan with a smile.

Micheal: ... I'd say the odds are in his favour...

Duncan smiled to that and walked out the loft in LA to head over to Columbus to help out a friend in need...
