Prolog: Max's POV

It's been too long since Logan and I have spent some time together, alone. Lately, he is so busy with Eyes Only and it seems Asha too. The family freaks and EO assignments, on the other hand, have preoccupied me, that even I am losing sleep! Seems we never get on the same page anymore and the frustration is showing on both of us. Maybe I should just let him off the hook and let him have a life, but Logan won't hear any of it. I try to bring it up or talk it thru, but either he or I or circumstances beyond our control, seem to interrupt us. I think I was right when I said we are cursed. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something and I am not listening or don't want to.

When I happen to have free time, he doesn't and vise-versa. I have been spending my free time at Joshua's. Original Cindy joins in when she can. Well, I guess I have to say Joshua and Alec's house now. Alec moved in about a month ago. Actually, I was surprised. I didn't think he would want to cramp his style with the ladies or be around "Sassquash" as he calls him. But I have been seeing another side of Alec lately. A guy who still gets on my nerves at times, but not like he did before. We still fight, but it has turned playful. I now see that he can be a kind, funny guy and protective, at times, of Joshua. It's kinda cute. I think the long nights of Crash, playing chess; monopoly, reading and talking with Joshua and Alec have brought us closer. What's funny, Alec and I seem to end up having a good time now when we are together. We both appreciate the finer points of sarcasm and we seem to be a lot like in many ways, of course I would never admit it. And if we are really being honest, I have to admit that he and I seem to have a chemistry that is starting to reach the undeniable point, as hard as we try. That's seems odd since a couple of months ago, I couldn't stand to be around him for long. To be able to talk freely to him and Joshua about Manticore is such a relief and outlet. To be able to let it all out without explanation or judgment. Only us freaks can truly understand.

Tonight, I'm working for Eyes-Only. To tell you the truth, I'm glad that Alec decided to come along. He didn't have to and I didn't even have to bribe him like I usually do. He actually said it sounded fun. And you know what? It did!
