***AN***: The cool *** means italics - flashbacks, thoughts etc. I will only post the entire fic if I get lots and lots of feedback! Tinga is in it and yes she did die. And there will be M/L.
***Pairings*** Z/J, M/L, S/K and sort of T/Zane.
The whole thing started with Zack and Max being taken by Manticore. Jondy hadn't heard from Zack since he had refused to let her help with 'taking down Manticore.' Their last words had been bitter ones and Jondy had sworn she'd never speak to Zack again.
She'd just got back from work; it was almost five in the morning. Her flat seemed depressing and lonely.a few months ago, she could walk into this apartment and find Zack lounging around, waiting for her to come home.not wearing a shirt.
He's gone, he didn't give a stuff about you, Jondy, * She berated herself, surprised at the tears running down her face. Tossing her bag and coat on the lounge, she switched on the lights. The red light on her voice mail caught her eye. * 'Bout time Zack called me, * she thought nastily. * Probably hooked up with Maxie and decided to let me know over voice mail. *
Don't get her wrong, Jondy loved and missed Maxie, but she was acutely aware of Zack's.fascination with Max.
Pressing play, Jondy twisted her hair around her fingers. "You have three new messages.Jondy, it's.it's Syl.I need to talk to you. Call the contact number at nine tomorrow morning and we'll talk, aiight.Hey, um, Jondy! It's Krit. Something has come up and we really need to talk to you. Call the contact number, aiight baby sister.Hi, this is Logan Cale. I need to talk to you about your sister Max and your brother Zack. My number is 5779-0342. Please call any time. There are no more messages."
Jondy stared at the voice mail, with a sense of foreboding. * Something has gone wrong, * she thought, feeling sick to her stomach. * Zack never gives out any of our numbers to anyone.Maxie.*
Jondy snatched her phone up, punching in Logan Cale's number. It was answered on the third ring. "Hello? Logan Cal."
"Put Zack on," Jondy snapped, running her fingers through her hair.
"Ah, look, Jondy?" Logan asked, worriedly. The girl sounded hysterical.
"What?" Jondy clutched the phone tighter.
"Syl's here. I'll put her on," Logan said.
"Don't patronize me," Jondy snarled. "Put my 'big brother' on before I come to .Seattle and."
"Kinky, little sister," Syl's voice broke. "She's dead and gone, Jon, and he."
Jondy felt herself go faint. "Who.?" she breathed, collapsing into the chair.
"Max! Her.her clone shot her in the heart and Zack never reported back.Logan is Maxie's boyfriend."
"Why did you even attack Manticore?" Jondy cried out. "How many did you have? What about me? And Zane? We were both a phone call away! And Tinga!"
Syl began crying and shoved the phone at Krit. "Hey baby sister," he said quietly.
"What's wrong?" Jondy asked in a calm voice.
"Tinga was recaptured and murdered, Max, Zack, Syl and I went in and Max and Zack never came back. Max's dead and Zack."
"Have you spoken to Zane?"
"Yeah, he's coming up to Seattle today. You can, if you want Jon, stay at Logan's. We'd all like to see you."
"Yeah," Jondy sniffed. "I think I'll come too." Jondy hung up the phone and leant back in her chair.
*Max is dead.Zack is dead. *
*Bastard. *
