A/N: This is my first fic and I hope that you like it. It's
really short so far but there will be more chapters. Please review because it
will make my day if I know someone read it. Also I don't own Dark Angel or any
of it characters so don't sue me.
A knock at the
door made Logan stop his work and wheel out of the computer room. His first
thought was that it was Max at the door. It couldn't be though she never
knocked. He unlocked the door and slowly opened it.
A blonde woman
stood there, she was around Max's age but she was a little bit taller. She was
slim like Max and looked as athletic.
"Can I help you?"
Logan asked her.
"So I've been
told," she replied in a confident manner. She didn't appear as confident as she
sounded. She was shuffling and looked uncomfortable just standing in the
hallway.
"Who by?" he
asked wondering who had sent her here so he could at least have an idea on how
to help.
"I can't tell
you, but I trust the person who sent me here and they seemed to trust you."
"Come in then."
He said not wanting to leave her in the hallway longer than necessary.
Motioning for her to sit down he asked her what was wrong.
"I've been told
that I don't have to tell you this but I will anyway. I escaped from Manticore
in 2009 and they still want me back." So this young woman was one of Max's
siblings, but which one? "My friend
told me that you could help hide me. I've hid myself for all these years but
it's not good enough anymore." She seemed ashamed to admit this. Logan
understood, Max had the same sense of pride.
"I can help you
your friend was right. You have to let me though, if you don't it won't work."
He had to make her see that he could be trusted. Maybe Max could help with that
later. "First of all why don't you tell me your name? Mine's Logan by the way."
"Jondy," she
said, "It's nice to meet you." Jondy? Max's favourite sister? Who would send
her to him? It couldn't be Zack yet he was the only one who knew where all the
X-5's were. His first thought was to get Max to his place straight away. There
was no point though she would be coming around later anyway.
"How can I help
you?" he asked her not for the first time that night.
"I need a new job
and a new place to stay and I have no idea how to get one. I also need to stay
hidden. The one thing that terrifies me the most is going back there." Logan
understood this from the way Max talked about it.
"Don't worry you
won't have to." He assured her.
She nodded believing for the first time that Logan really
could help her.
A click from the door signalled the door had just been
unlocked. Jondy jumped to her feet and landed in an attack position. "It's all
right," Logan told her, "Its only Max." A look of shock took the place of the
one of fear. "Max, my sister Max?" she questioned. Logan nodded and Jondy just
headed from the living room towards Max.
"Logan, you
here?" she asked, "I was wondering…" Whatever Max had been wondering Logan
never got to find out. She had seen Jondy and an equal look of shock played on
her beautiful face.
"Jondy?" she
asked, not believing what she was seeing. Jondy smiled at Max, "Hi little sis."
Max hugged Jondy
before looking towards Logan. "How did you do it? How did you find her?"
"I didn't she
found me." He replied.
Two hours later
after Max and Jondy had caught up with everything that had happened in each
other's post-Manticore lives. The issue on what to do with Jondy came back up.
"Maybe she could get a job at Jam-Pony with me." Max stated. "Normal will take
anyone on if they can read addresses."
"That would be
cool, me working with my baby sister." Jondy said in approval of the plan.
"It's also
probably our best shot at getting you a job. First thing tomorrow morning go
with Max and see about getting a job. For now you can stay with Max if that's
OK." Max nodded and Logan continued. "That should keep you well enough hidden
for now. I can monitor Manticore's movements pretty well from here so I should
know if they get any closer towards finding any of you."
"Thank you."
Jondy said, "You didn't have to do this for me."
"I know but that
doesn't matter." He replied.
"Time for you to
come see your new place." Max said eager to spend some more time with her
favourite sister. "You have got to meet Original Cindy and Kendra."
"Who?" she asked
"Your new
roommates." Max replied.
Max and Jondy turned to leave. "One more thing." Logan said,
"Who sent you?"
"Zack. Who
else?"
Max and Logan both appeared confused by Zack's latest move
given Zack's obvious dislike of Logan. Neither said anything because it wouldn't
do any good, Jondy was probably as confused as they were.
Downstairs Max and Jondy got on her bike and started off
towards her apartment.
