One Catch

What happens when one small catch is now biting you with all its teeth?

Author's Note: I'm a fairly new writer.  And need all the comments you all have to give-bad or good.  Just tell me, with brutal honesty.  I can't read minds, and the only way I can know, is by you leaving a review, or writing me.

So this happens to be a rather short chapter, of mostly filler, I'm sorry.  I've got to writing different perspectives, and switching back and forth between the two.  To keep up with that, this one is the next in line. 

There really doesn't seem to be interest anymore, if there even was any before.  If I don't get any responses, I'm just to assume no one wants anymore-and you'll get what you want.  So, if you care, tell me, please.

Thanks Natters, you seem to be the only one that does care!

Well, look what threatening gets you, reviews!  But it still goes, I actually want reviews or I just won't continue

~ * Christy – Why don't cha gimme a buz and e-mail me.  Suggestions are always welcomed, by anyone* ~

Again, I've posted this with only my own eyes' inspection of the work.  If there's a ton of problems, I'm sorry!

Dedication: There really is a Kyla, she's a friend that's always there for me.  So, the character name is for her-though she'll never see this.

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Fox's.  But I do own Arlyn, and the O'Briens. 

Chapter 5

Think about who? Max? No. Not see who? Max?  No.  Leave who alone?  So who am I thinking about right now?  Max.

"Logan?"

"Right, Asha, got lost there for a second."

"Asha, if you don't mind, I know you mean well, but-"

"But?  But what Logan?"

"I just want'a be alone right now.  Would you,"

"What?  What Logan?"

"Could you please leave?"

"Ah, sure, okay, Logan. I'll just come back in a littl-"

"No, Asha, just, please go, now." 

"Oh"

"Yeah.  There's just one thing first."

"What?"

"Key."

"Key?"  How could she just ask so plainly, as if she's got no clue?

"Yeah, key.  I know you've got a key for here, I gave it to you, and I want it back.  Please?"

"Right, key.  Key to the place, to your place."

"Yeah, I don't need you as much around here, isn't much use for a key then."

'I really think I'm doin' just fine.  Thanks for all you've done for me, and Eyes Only.  I'm sure he's been pleased by what you've done too.  It's just, that, I think its time for me to depend on, me.  A lot's gone down in just a little time.  And there're just some of those things going on that, and no one else but me can really deal with 'em.  I've gotta get the chance to do that.  You understand?  Take care of needs to be taken care of, by me. Of course I wouldn't say that to Asha, but maybe she'll get the point.'

"Are you sure?  I mean whatever you need me to do, I'll do it, really.  You know that, right?"

"Yeah, I know Asha.  Thanks, a lot.  But-"

"Well?"

"I really don't need your help right now.  But thanks again." 

"'Kay"

"Thanks."

"Ah, no prob." 

"Later than?"

"Right, I'll see ya later Logan."

"Asha, you almost forgot. The key."

"Key?"

"Yeah, the key, we've been through this already."

"Right, almost, almost forgot it, the key.  Here, here you go Logan.  I'll, I'll see ya lat-"

"Thanks.  I'll give you a call if I need you.  Bye Asha."

Back to my room of solitude, surrounded by all the computers, gear, and memories.  So, now she's gone.  Both the woman I love and the girl that's after me.  One half of my heart feels better from a loss, but the other's still aching. 

If I get in touch with Arlyn, and he's got what I want, maybe I can get it to be a dull pain instead.  Finally got his number, maybe I should put my phone to use.

"Hey, is Ar-Arlyn there?"

"Aryln?" I heard the name circle through the room on the other end, and then a mumbled response.

"This is he, you might be?"

"Ar?  Hey, it's Logan, Logan Cale.  Remember me Ar?" Hopefully time won't have erased his memory of me.

"Logan?  Is it really you?  I haven't heard from you in ages.  It's been, it's been way to damn long man!"

"Yeah it has Ar!  How you doing?"

"Well, things've been …" and so he went.  For a while we just went on talking to see what the other'd missed in their respective lives.  It was so nice hearing from him I almost forgot I'd had other intentions besides just talking with him again.

"Listen, Ar, I wanted to ask a favor of you."

"Sure, what'd you need from me?"

"Ar, you know how I told you abou-"
