Max was trying to run to the subway and get the conductor to leave without the others. He realized he didn't leave himself an out. Cursing under his breath he felt true fear creep over him. His breathing was ragged as he looked desperately for a place to hide<br/><br/>Before they closed the doors of the ambulance rail, Keith went inside and kissed Zebel. He whispered to her with his last act of consciousness<br/><br/>"He won't get away with this, my love" Keith said to her before backing out of the rail and letting them get her to the hospital. Keith roared out and ran up the stairs. Ben and Liz were talking about Max when they jumped, hearing Keith. Keith saw they weren't Max when he made it to them, so he ignored them.<br/><br/>Max could hear Keith and he began to shake. He saw no way out, Keith was going to end his life. Keith avoided breaking things as he searched for Max. Max saw Keith before Keith saw him, but he was too scared to move. When Keith's eyes fell upon Max, the sound that escaped his lips was one that could strike fear into anyone. A guttural roar, more animal than man echoed through the hall as Keith charged. Max braced for the impact. Keith's fist slammed into Max's head, sending him flying to the side. Grabbing his leg, Keith threw Max against the opposite wall and then stomped Max's kneecap in. Max was screaming and crying in pain, but Keith wasn't done yet. He beat Max relentlessly, hurling him across the hall, smashing bones, and bashing in Max's skull. Keith roared as he reared his fist back for the final puch, the one that would end Max's life, but he punched the marble floor instead, the tile turning to dust next to Max's head. Keith leaned in close to Max.<br/><br/>"You don't get to die yet. I'm gonna let you live, let a doctor heal you up. I'm gonna make you endured this pain, feel every agonized second. Pain will be all you know. And then, when you get out, I'll do it again. I'll break you, over and over and over. No amount of suffering will every be enough. Get used to this feeling of pain and helplessness. You've made your bed, now sleep in it" He growled  and then got up and left.<br/><br/>Keith told medics that he found Max all beat up and he'd need help, but his first priority was Zebel. He got on the next underground rail to the hospital where he sat in the waiting room, the doctors weren't going to let him see Zebel yet. He reeled himself back in, but he felt like hell
