Discoveries

Scene one: Top of the space needle
(Max's POV)

Ever wonder "What if?" What if you had made a different decision? What would change? What would not?
I wonder that a lot. What if I had stayed at the cabin with Zach? I can answer that one for you. He would be here, with me. Safe. Sounds great, don't it? Wait, there's more. Logan would be dead, that's right everyone, he'd be dead. Why do you care Max? Thought you never got attached. Well I didn't mean to. It just sorta..happened.
So Logan's alive. Zach was captured. Then the crash. I know he's alive, anyone one of us X5's could have survived that. Us X5's. There are more out there, which is my dilemma. Logan'' still looking for my sibs, but I want to find Zach. That's my first priority.

Scene two: Jam Pony

"Hey Boo!" Original Cindy greeted, as Max walked into work. Max noticed that Cindy was glowing.
"Spill. Who was she?" Max smiled waiting to hear the latest news in Cindy's love life.
"Her name is Mai. She's a masseuse. Damn can that gal kiss!"
Max shook her head, laughing. Just then Normal came in front of his employees.
"Okay people. We have a new girl working here now. April?"
A young girl, about the age of twenty-two walked through the door. She was about five foot seven. She had gray-blue eyes, and long black hair that hung down to the middle of her back. All Sketchy and the other guys could do was stare. Max also noticed Cindy checking her out.
Normal continued, "April just moved here from Olympia, so she is going to partner up with one of ya'll while you go on runs this week. Any volunteers?" No one spoke. Max looked at the girl.
"April," she thought, "Now why does that name sound so familiar?"
"Okay. Max, you take her," Normal said, leaving April standing in front of her.
"Hey. He's kinda scary, don't ya think?"
"Yeah. Let's get going." Max said.

Scene three: Jam Pony (continued from two)

After a long day of deliveries, Max offered to take April to Crash.
"Sure. I'd love to come."
Just then Max's pager went off. She didn't even have to look at who it was.
"Sorry. Rain check?"
April nodded.
"Let's me guess, Prince Logan?"
Max gave a sarcastic glare. "Gotta blaze."
April looked confused, "Who's that? Boyfriend?"
Cindy put her arm around April's shoulder, "Let Original Cindy tell you all about it over a drink."
"Okay," April answered. As they walked out, April abruptly remover Cindy's arm, much to the disappointment of Cindy.

Scene four: Logan's apartment

"Knock, knock!" Max called as she walked into Logan's doorway. Logan was lighting some candles on the table. He spun around to meet Max's eyes.
"Hey," he pointed to the table, "Just in time."
Max smiled and sat down. Logan served Max and himself. They ate dinner, and afterward Max helped Logan with the dishes. Later, Logan went to turn on his computer, and Max sat herself down on his couch.
"So, what crazy save-the-world mission do you have me on now?"
Logan motioned her to the computer. She stood over him looking at a picture of a man about the age of thirty. "His name's Vince McBryde. He's a drug dealer, famous for it."
"Oooh, the world is coming to an end! We have a drug dealer!"
Logan scoffed, "There's more, if you'll let me tell you. He might just have connections with Manticore."
"Zach." Max said under her breath.
Logan nodded, "Maybe he'll know where he is. Plus it's one more drug dealer's ass kicked." Logan said handing Max the address.
"I'll go this weekend. I need to kick some ass." Max said as she walked out the door, "Bye Logan."
"Bye."

Scene five: Jam Pony (Friday)

During runs the next four days Max and April became good friends. That morning Normal handed Max a package going to the same address Logan gave her Monday. Good, she thought, this will give me a chance to check this guy out. She motioned April over.
"Hey, let's blaze." Max handed the package to April and grabbed her bike. Suddenly, a strong grasp caught her arm. It was April, and her now gray eyes were set on the address of the package.
"What!?" Max said, taking her throbbing arm away.
"Get another package!"
"Why, what's up?" Max had never seen this look in April's eyes. It was almost a look of fear.
"I. . . . can't tell you. Just please get another. Give it to Cindy, or Herbal even."
Max could not pass up an opportunity like this. "No. They're out on runs already." This was a lie, and April knew it.
"You know what, Maxine?" April practically yelled, "I am older than you, by three years. I know my way around. I don't need your help anymore." April walked and grabbed an envelope. She threw on her leather jacket and took off. Max could just stand there as everyone stared at her.

Scene six: Streets of Seattle (Max's POV)

I've never seen her so mad before. Sure, I haven't known her that long, but she's acted so sweet, so innocent. How could she just break down and yell at me?
The address. Her eyes were set on the address of the package when it all started. Maybe she knows something about this man, Vince McBryde. Or has some past with him. I can't put my finger on it, really. Well, I'll never know till I meet this guy. Here I am, 213 Cambridge. Vince, prepare to meet your worst nightmare.
