"Its only his second day and he is already normals favourite this can not be happening he just wont leave me alone first he get in the way when I am trying to steel that ball and now this. I don't see why he cant get his own life why does he have to come in here and take mine" Max said as she was confiding in her friend Cindy

"Say what you want I think he's kinda nice"

"Yer well spend a day with him" Max said "hell drive you crazy with his laughing and his talking and his breathing "

"Girl you got issues " said Cindy

"Oh great!" Said Max "he's coming over"

"Hey lady's" said Alec as he came over to the table "Max im on rounds with you today were doing sector 4 ok"

"GREAT" said Max she got up " this is just what we need"

"IM not that bad am I " said Alec

"Not you dumb ass her " she pointed in the direction of the door there was a girl coming through it with a bike

"The last thing we need is a new girl"

"Yeah" said Cindy "but Normals not going to give her a job anyway"

"Yeah your right " said Max

The girl went up to Normals window they were talking for a while and then normal nodded and walked the girl over to them

"Alec I want you to show Caroline the ropes ok "

"Fine by me"

"Good " said normal he turned to Caroline and said " Alec is one of the best here he will show you what to do ok"

"Thanks " she said

" So " said " Max " im Max and this is Cindy "

" Hi "she said

"So normal gave you a job then?"

"Yeah, he knows my uncle and he told him if I ever needed a job just to come and see him"

"`So shall we get going?" said Alec

"Ok"said Caroline and they picked up there bikes and left

They went up to the wall and put their bikes against it

"This is 13 nover Rd so we go in and give the package get a signature and leave it's a easy as that ok"

"Ok" she said.

They went up to the door and knocked on it. An old woman answered Caroline put the package in her hand and said

"I need a signature "

"Um ok " said the women " ill just go and get my glasses and she walked away

" You know it helps to be polite "

" And I really don't care the only reason that I took this job was for the cash k"

"Fine" said Alec.

Caroline started to move she went over to the window and looked in side.

"Check it out" she said, " grandmas got her self a plasma screen TV "

" Oh my god " said Alec " your scooping the place aren't you"

"And. What are you going to do about it?"

" I could tell normal that you only wanted the Job so you could get a sector pass to steal"

" Yeah and who is he going to believe you or me?"

"Me"

"Oh please. I have known him for years I have always a sweet little girl in his eyes I could never do anything wrong so back off k"

"Fine but if you get caught its your own fault "

The women came back out and held out the clipboard Caroline grabbed it out of her hand and started to walk away

"Thank you mam " said Alec. He walked up to the bikes Caroline was all ready on her bike ready to go

" Where to now?" Caroline said. Alec picked up a package and looked at it

"32 forman Rd"

" There's no way I can go there"

"Why not" said Alec looking strangely at her

"There are like steel heads down there"

"Don't worry, " said Alec " ill look after you "

"I can look after my self thank you. I just don't like it down there "

" Well it will only be for a few minutes "

" Fine then lets go"

Forman Rd was only a couple of blocks away so it didn't take long for them to get there

As they were turning the corner Caroline stopped her chain had come off her bike Alec saw it and said "ill go on ahead ok?"

"Ok" said Caroline

As Alec turned the corner a steelhead walked in front of him causing him to stop

" Can I help you " the steelhead said in his obviously fake English accent

" No " said Alec as he tried to pull his bike away but the steelhead was holding it tight

" What do you want?" he said

" I'm a Jam pony messenger I'm here to deliver a package ok "

"No its not ok " said the steel head " you see this is our turf and we're what you could call ……..Territorial guys"

"Look all I want to do is deliver the package and go ok"

"What don't you understand you cant deliver any packages ok "

" look I don't want to hurt you but…"

"you hurt us " he said " id like to see you try "

"fine said Alec as he moved forward to grab the guy by the neck "

"Alec!" a voice came from behind him " what is going on here" Alec turned around and Caroline was standing there

"these guys don't want us to deliver the package "

" Well" said the steel head " I didn't know it was you Caroline or I would have let him by you know I'm sorry "

" that's ok " Caroline said "just don't let it happen again"

and she walked pass them. Alec was still standing there looking a little shocked

"Alec" she said " are you coming"

"Um yeah" said Alec as he walked away from the steel heads and followed Caroline. When they were out of sight from the steelheads Alec stopped

" what was all that about " he said

" all what " said Caroline

" don't play innocent you know what im talking about those steel heads bending over backwards to you "

" Me and Eddy we have a………… mutual agreement "

"a what ? "

" he doesn't bother me and I don't bother him "

"why would he be worried about you bothering him "

" look " she said " I've said to much all ready and if I say any more I'll have to kill you"

"why have you got like a secret past or something "

"haven't we all Alec" she said looking at him in a way that made him feel there was more to her than she was letting on. A lot more





" so what's the new girl like" said Max . she Cindy and Alec where sitting on one of the benches at jam pony with there bikes

"she's ok but the strangest thing happened" said Alec looking around to see if any one was listening

"what?" said Cindy

" well we were down Forman Road and she was saying she didn't want to go down there because you know what its like down there. And her chain came of her bike and she stopped to fix it so I went on and that steelhead eddy was giving me a little hassle. Nothing I couldn't handle though. And she came up behind me and they just stopped as though they were like scared of her it was so wired."

"wow that is strange Eddy and his guys aren't scared of anyone"

" I know. Oh and I invited her to the crash tonight ok?"

"Yeah sure it means we can get to know her" said Max
