Original Cindy was at work waiting for Max to hurry up and get to work.
One of these days Normal will fire her, and she won't be too happy about
it.
"Where's Max? She better get here like umm now otherwise I'll have to fire
her."
Normal came up behind her and made Original Cindy turn around real quickly.
"Don worry she's gonna be here any minute now and you know it. Can I ask
you something?"
"Yes what is it?" Normal looked annoyed.
"Why is it that your always busting my girl for being late, but when your
boy Alec is late, it don't matter huh? Just because he's your golden boy
he can do whatever he want's."
"Mmmmammmamaamama" Normal was speechless he didn't know what to say about
that remark.
"And what might I ask were you mumbling about?"
"Nothing, nothing just get back to work, I'll deal with Max when she gets
here, if she ever gets here, it is 10:36am, how late is that." Normal
walked off talking to himself about Max's behaviour.
Just then Alec and Max walk through the door.
"And where have you two been?" Normal asked surprised that they were both
very late. "We have packages to be delivered, they are not just going to
sprout legs and walk to their new owners, someones gotta go do it for them
now Bip Bip Bip before I fire you both."
"Aww be reasonable Normal," Alec was trying to think of an excuse for being
late, "I was beating people up in the ring lastnight, I was soo tired."
That should get him out of trouble.
"Oh ok, but what about you Max huh? Don't try and make that doctors excuse
again because it has worn off."
Max figited and looked at the floor.
"Well I.............."
"Well I what?" Normal was getting impatient that she was late and she
didn't even have an excuse for it.
"Well you see I.....I had to do something important." Max said hopefully.
"What kind of excuse was that huh? Pretty lame if you ask me." Normal was
shaking his head. He was dissapointed.
"Oh Well I'll let you off this time but you better be on time tomorrow
otherwise you might not be so lucky."
"Max," Original Cindy walked over, "You have got to at least try to make
it to work on time."
"Ok."
Normal walked up to Max with a package in his hand.
"Now that your here you make a simple delivery."
"Ok, what ever you say."
With that Max took her bike and walked out. Alec and Cindy followed her.
"HEY what do you two think your doing?" Normal asked. Them riding with Max
would be no good.
"We have packages to deliver in sector 4, so we are riding with Max till
then."
Original Cindy said turning her back on him.
As soon as the three got out of Jampony they saw a figure standing across
the street. He looked vaguely fammiliar. He turned around and looked at
Max.
She gave a gasp at who she saw. Alec just stood there looking back at
himself. Just like looking into a mirror. Original Cindy just looked at
Alec then the stranger then back at Alec. The stranger walked towards them
.
"Hey Maxie." He said looking into her eyes. She looked different. Longer
hair, nice tan.
"Hey." She replied looking into his eyes.
Alec and Original Cindy stood there looking at both of them. They were
speechless.
"It's been a while since we last saw eachother." Ben took his eyes off
her to see the two standing on each side of Max both looking as if they
were going to faint.
First he looked at The woman on the right of Max. She had turned around
and ran back in. Then he looked to the left and saw him. His exact
replica.
Max saw who he was looking at and spoke up.
"I thought you was......"
"Dead?" Ben finnished off her scentence.
"Yeah." Max was feeling quesy. She couldn't believe it. She had to be
dreaming.
"Well after you left me Lydecker must have brought me back to Manticore.
It also looks to me that they fixed me up. It was all going good till
Manticore was on fire." He explained.
"Oh yeah that Max was the one who got you out." Alec croacked finnaly
finding his voice.
"Really? Never would have guessed that my little Maxie would have been the
one to save the day." Ben was surprised that Max was somehow involved in
it.
"Yeah well, do you want to come back to my place and we can talk?" Max
asked hoping that he would so she could find out if he still believed in
the blue lady and stuff. If he did, then she would have to watch his back.
There was no telling what he was capable of doing now that he was out
again.
"Yeah, that sounds nice."
Together they walked off leaving Alec behind.
"Don't worry about me," Alec said softly to himself, "After all it I don't
want anything to do with him."
With that he walked back in to see if Original Cindy was ok.
