TEASER:

Logan was in the shower. In the shower was a place where Logan was reminded of the fact that he was a cripple. Logan's legs were never going to work and he knew it, but time had long passed where he cared. So know his days had a new objective.

"Bling, I'm done!" Logan called out to his personal assitant, a man whom was a confident in friendship, in his mission and in struggle to keep the strength alive in his muscles.

"Coming!" Bling responed in a busy pace as he ran to the bathroom.

Logan was brought out of the shower, into his room where he dressed himself and got to work on yet another Eyes Only missions. In 10 minutes, Logan was comfy in his exoskelton and sitting in his office chair. The first thing Logan decided to do was check his informant e-mail account and was surprised to see an e-mail from one of his International Contacts. The contact, Kylie Johns was a state politician in Brisbane who Logan met through Sebastian, and Kylie was a well paid politician who worked in the health department. Logan quickly clicked on the e-mail.

What Logan found in the e-mail, Logan didn't understand at first. The e- mail read:

Logan,

The University of Melbourne has just made headlines here with new advancements in cancer therapies and the advancement is due to a very advanced student. The thing that I'm having trouble with is the student is only 19, 20, therefore hasn't even completed her first degree. I decided that it was worth having a good look into her past, and in my research, everything seemed fine until I hit my 'other' sources. I found out that the girl isn't even of Australian decent, she is in fact American. This made me check into all the American records but didn't find her listed anywhere. The only thing I've been able to find is that she did go back to America about 2 years ago, I'm guessing before she even started her degree and worked under the name Jondy in a bar in San Francisco. A while back you gave me a name of those Manticore kids, a girl named Jondy who is the same age matches the description, although her appearance has changed. Just thought you'd like to know.



Kylie

Under her name was a picture of a very attractive blonde woman, Jade Donavan and an article, about her Medical experience and training. Logan was startled and did the only thing he knew he had to do. He called Max.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. Max's pager went of and Max didn't even bother looking at who it was. Standing in Jam Pony meant the two other people who called her, OC and Herbal made the decision not to look even easier.

"Hitting you back?" Max always used the same punchline.

"Max, an informant has just sent me some information regarding an X5, the information I'm not sure how good it is but I do have a photo and I think it's one of the twelve that escaped."

"Who?"

"Jondy!" Max didn't need to hear any more. She walked strait out of Jampony and within 10 minutes Max was at Logan's.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------

Max and Logan had their demons and a lot more than a lot of people did. A virus set them apart, like a curse on them to forever need and want each other, yet unable to touch the surface of want and need. When the door opened up and Max came walking in, his heart sank to the floor. He felt like he needed to hide it cause he knew it hurt Max to see how much he wanted her, knowing that they can't touch.

"Jondy?" Max asked as she entered my study.

"An informant in Australia, Brisbane to be precise has a hunch that an X5 is there, Jade Donavan is the name she is going by there and she sent me a picture."

"Let me see the picture?" With that, Logan passed her the now printed out picture from Kylie's e-mail.

"It's Jondy, It's Jondy alright." Max would have known that face anywhere.

"Okay then. Well, if you read the article, she claims to be Jade Donavan and has advanced in Medical Research."

"But why is she in Australia?"

"Well, Australia wasn't struck by the pulse as hard as us, or the rest of the world. Being one of the new superpowers, Australia, us being their allay have been helping us with food and supplies. When the pulse first happened, they were the first to send Peacekeeping troops."

"Logan, I don't need a whole history lesson on how great it is, great beaches, great food, yeah, yada, yada. What I want to know is why she's gone so far away. Last time I heard, she was at a bar working nights. Zack didn't tell me anything other than that. Now she's a student advancing in medical research."

"I don't know. Anyway, I'll contact my informant and tell her that her hunch is correct."

"Don't. Not yet. I want to see her, talk to her."

"Max, how do you suppose you get to Australia."

"No, I'm not going to Australia, well not yet at least. Logan, could you perhaps hack into the University Mainframe and try and get in contact with Jondy's e-mail account. Find me an address and I'll e-mail her. I'll get here attention then I'll send her a video link up to here so we can talk via the net, through a untraced, untapped line"

"Okay, but, do you know what you're doing."

"As I always say. I'm just making this up as I go along."

With that Logan got to work. Max went to the lounge and waited. Jondy was alive and in Australia.
