Chapter 3
"Okay, let me get this strait. When you go in heat you let off pheromones right? To let the male population know that you wantin to get it on. So how come Alec went all primal and other men didn't? " Original Cindy inquired.
"Alec is an X5 just like me. He has the same senses I do. Enhanced speed, strength, hearing, sight, taste, smell…" Max explained.
"What you sayin is Alec was the only one who could smell the pheromones comin off you? So you a magnet for other's like you when you in heat?" Original Cindy realized.
Max nodded, "Yep, that's the deal."
"Girl you better be more careful. Seattle is transgenic central ever since yall blew up Manticore, " Original Cindy lectured.
"Yeah, I know, " Max said staring off into space. She started to say something when he pager went off. She reached down and saw that it was Logan and sighed. "It's Logan, I gotta go, " Max said as she picked up her backpack.
"What you want me to tell Normal? You know he gonna have your ass if you show up late again, " Original Cindy said concerned.
"Tell him I had an emergency doctor appointment or something. I'll be there just cover for me, " Max said as she headed out the door.
Original Cindy watched her leave and shook her head.
"You can do this Max just act normal, " Max said as she stepped into the elevator. Once in the elevator she hit the button for Logan's floor. A hundred different things went through her mind. Mainly, should she tell Logan what happened. She hated to lie to him, but technically she wouldn't be lying to him.
The elevator came to a stop and the doors opened.
"Max, " Asha greeted.
"Asha, " Max returned. She's hear awfully early in the morning. Max looked Asha up and down. She was wearing normal clothes not night clothes.
"He's at his computer, " Asha nodded in Logan's direction.
"Thanks, " Max said as she made her way past Asha into Logan's computer room. "Hey, you paged?"
Logan turned towards her, "Hey, yeah I did. I've got something for you check out." He turned back to his computer and typed a few keys. "Last night a military convoy came into the city in sector…4"
"Military convoy, you think it could be White?" Max asked concerned.
Logan shrugged, "Don't know, but you can bet it's him. Like you said Seattle's become transgenic central. Plus, he knows you and Alec are alive." There was a pause, "I tried paging you last night to let you know, but you never called. Everything ok?"
Think Max think! "Yeah, I accidentally left it at home, " Max offered. Why did he have to go and mention Alec? "I can do some recon check it out. Where's it located in sector 4?"
Logan turned back to his computer, "I lost track of them once they entered the sector, but I'd say they would hold up in another abandoned factory or something of that sort."
"I agree, " Max said looking down at her watch. "I gotta blaze or Normal is gonna can me. I'll check it out after work when it's dark okay."
"Max your back is bleeding, " Asha said coming into the room.
Max reached back and felt the blood on her shirt, "Yeah, I had an accident on my baby last night." I had an accident alright…
"You alright, " Logan asked worried.
Max shrugged, "It's just a couple of scraps. I'll call you after and give you a report okay."
"Be careful, " he said.
"Always, " Max said affectionately. "Catch you later." She turned and walked past Asha and out of the apartment.
Logan turned back to his computer and began to type. Asha leaned against the doorframe and watched him. She'd known Logan for years, longer than Max had known him. She hated to admit it, but when Logan had given her a call and asked for the S1W to help take down Manticore for retribution of the death of Max she felt hope. For years she wanted to be with Logan. But, the opportunity never came about until a few months ago. Then everything went haywire and Max turned out to be alive.
The night Max escaped from Manticore and she almost killed Logan with the virus she cried herself to sleep that night.
"You okay?" Logan asked softly.
She was snapped out of her revere, "Yeah, I was just thinking."
"You seemed to zone out for a second…wanna talk about it?" he asked caringly.
She shook her head, "Now's not the time."
"Whenever you're ready, I'm hear you know that, " he reassured her. Wonder what's bothering her?
"I know, I'll uh see you later this afternoon I got to go run some errands. Do you need anything while I'm out?" she said picking up her backpack.
He shook his head.
"Okay, bye, " she headed out the door.
"Come on, come on, " Max fussed at the traffic. She was going to be late and Normal was going to be busting her chops from now till the end of time. Hopefully, Original Cindy gave a good excuse. Max sighed, Original Cindy was always taking up for her putting herself in the position of getting fired.
Finally, she pulled up at Jam Pony. She hopped off her bike and went through the front entrance quickly making her way past Normal to her locker. Luckily, she was able to get by him without being seen. Original Cindy was at her locker waiting for her.
"Oh, girl Original Cindy is so glad you here finally. Normal been ridin my ass all mornin, " Original Cindy irritated.
"What'd you tell him, " Max asked getting ready for her runs.
"That you went to the doctor this mornin, " Original Cindy supplied.
Max was about to reply when Normal hollered from the front counter, "Nice that you could finally join us slack off. Are you feeling all better now."
Max rolled her eyes and turned toward Normal who was walking toward her and Original Cindy, "Cut me a break Normal okay. I had a bad night."
"You haven't seen anything yet. You get to run sector five today, " Normal said handing her an arm full of packages. Max took the packages and fained hurt, "All by myself."
"You're a big girl Max. If you run into trouble call a cop, " Normal said bluntly.
"Thanks for your concern, " Max yelled as he walked away. "Jackass, " she muttered as she turned to face Original Cindy. "Thanks for covering for me, I appreciate it." Max did appreciate Original Cindy's help when it came to Normal.
"No problem, what'd Logan want?" Original Cindy asked.
Max opened her locker and started to pack her backpack. "A military convoy came into town last night in sector 4. Wants me to check it out." Max finished packing and carefully placed it on her back.
"You thinkin about checkin it out while you in sector 5?" Original Cindy asked crossing her arms.
Max shook her head, "No, I'm going to wait till dark…have you seen Alec this morning?" Max asked carefully. She was a bit nervous on asking about Alec. She didn't want to sound like she was getting attached.
"Yeah, he came in real fast got his shit and took off, " Original Cindy paused, "Did you tell Logan?"
Max slumped onto the bench, "No, I don't think I'm going to either."
Original Cindy sat down beside her and patted her leg, "Max, let Original Cindy tell you somethin. What happened between you and Alec last night neither one of you could help, and if you tell Logan that he'll understand."
"I don't know Cindy. When I slept with Rafer he understood yeah, but I think it was because he didn't know Rafer at all and he could easily dismiss it. He knows Alec…I don't think he could dismiss it so easily. Every time he sees us he'll remember we slept together, " Max explained sadly.
"If you ask me the first thing you should do is smooth things out with Alec first before you go tellin Logan when you ain't even got it strait in your own head, " Original Cindy offered caringly.
Max smiled leaned over and hugged her, "Thanks."
"No problem boo, " Original Cindy said patting her on the back.
Max pulled back and smiled, "What sector are you running today?"
"Normal ain't gave me no runs yet so I'll just run with you. Come on girl times a wastin, " Original Cindy said as she and Max stood from the bench and made there way out the door. On the way out Max thought Wonder what sector Alec is running today?
