Wow, thanks for all the reviews! I would have put up more before this, but yesterday the Document Manager was down, so I couldn't. This chapter somehow got really long really fast...and most of the others are longer now. It's pretty weird because i totally didn't mean to do that. Lol.

Never Say Never-Ch03
Max had been lying on her bed reading a book when her phone rang. While Max sat up to search for the phone, she noticed that it was raining already, at 8:05 in the morning. Looking at the clutter on the crates that served as a bookshelf in her room, she spotted the phone, and stood up to get it.
"You'd better be happy I got to the phone before Original Cindy did, or else you'd be hurting now." She said into the phone after seeing the Caller ID reveal Jondy's cell phone number.
"Hey baby sister, is she *still* in bed?" Jondy asked her from the rows of cheap clothing in the Strip.
"That's a stupid question. She sleeps. She went to Crash last night and stayed there until 4 in the morning. She's hung over. Of course she's still asleep!" She finished with a laugh. "Use logic."
"Don't pull that sarcastic shit on me!" Jondy joked. "Anyway I just became Logan's favorite transgenic today."
"Oh really?" 'No, not like that Max, and it wouldn't even matter to you, would it? No.' "What did you find to earn that wonderful title?" Max struggled to keep her mind off the conversation she had with herself the day before while she walked to the kitchen to find something to drink.
"I got him Pastrami."
"Such pride. One question; what the hell is that?"
"Oh yes! Hang on a minute." In the background Max could hear Jondy order a Ham and Cheese Piroshky with soup. "Okay, sorry, did you know that this Piroshky place was open this early?"
"Okay, one; No I didn't know that. Two; You're eating piroshky without me?! I'm stuck here eating whatever the hell this is, don't think I want to know...and tap water." Hearing this slight moan of Jondy at the mention of tap water, she added, "Yeah, tap. And three; you still didn't tell me what Pastrami is."
"Oh, well it's some kinda lunchmeat…Logan says it's the best. He was pretty damn excited. So he's gonna make us all lunch and then tell us our next homework assignment. You're supposed to come."
"Hmm, the best eh? Well it sure as hell beats what I have…which I haven't figured out yet. Hey, it'll take me like 5 minuets to get there, you're at Pike, right?" Max heard Jondy positive response and continued, "Okay, wait for me there, I want some of that borsht."
After they had eaten, Max and Jondy wandered around the Strip for a few hours before heading to Logan's. Jondy was still bugging Max about her having a 'crush' on Logan, and Max decided that she would probably never quit.
"Jondy, do you mind if I use your phone? I didn't leave a note to Cindy, and pretty soon she'll be raggin' on me about Logan the same way you are." Where they stopped, there was a statue of a pig, which the Pike Place Market had been famous for before the pulse. Supposedly, every year they would sell pig statues to the people of Seattle, and they would decorate it however they wanted to. Then a winner would be chosen and the pig would be placed atop the sign that read "Pike Place Market". There was a golden pig set outside the section of the market where they would throw fish. Very expensive fish.
Jondy pulled her cell out of an inside jacket pocket, and went to give it to Max. But just as Max was going to take it, Jondy pulled her phone pack toward her. "Only if you tell me how you really feel about Logan." She taunted in a low voice. Her blue eyes stared at her sister's dark brown ones. Max didn't say anything, she didn't have to, Jondy knew by the way those dark brown eyes got darker that she was most likely gonna get beat.
But still, Jondy kept staring and didn't hand Max the phone. "Jondy I just found you after 11 years. I don't want to kill you now. Give me the phone."
"Aw come on Max, he's a cool guy. He's kinda got this…soldier side I guess. He's smart, funny...a wise-ass. He can cook like none other, and he's good with tracking people and things down. He's a great source of tryptophan, the liquid kind, works like magic." Jondy looked up at Max who hadn't averted her glare. "Come on, Max, he's hot!"
"I'm beginning to think that *you* like him and think that I am moving in on your territory, so you're putting up the offensive front in the form of seeing if I want him or not." Max said, finally losing her deathful stare and moving to lean up against the golden pig with an amused look on her face.
"Oh yeah, *that's* it. Max, I've known this guy for two years, if I wanted anything like that from him, I woulda done it a long time ago, now come on we're gonna be late to lunch." Jondy said with a characteristic roll of her eyes and began to walk away, but stopped as she saw Max was still leaning on the pig with her arms crossed. "What?" She asked, and Max just raised her eyebrows and looked pointedly at her sister. Jondy again rolled her eyes and handed Max her phone.
When the two had arrived at Logan's, about twenty minutes later, Logan was just putting the sandwiches on the table. He looked up at the two momentarily then looked down again, remembering the argument he had had with himself the night before. "Thought you'd go hungry." He said almost mockingly with a sideways smile.
"Oh never." Jondy said throwing her coat down and looking back pointedly to Max before leaving the dining room and entering the living room where they could hear the rest of the genetically enhanced family laughing and talking amongst themselves.
Max realized that if she followed Jondy now that she was out of the room, that it would look like she was running away from her host. But, if she stayed she would be hinting that she wanted to stay around him. 'Damn you, Jondy.' she thought mentally imagining herself kicking the blonde's ass knowing that it was a set-up. 'Okay, think…' her trained brain began to easily formulate a cover for the trap that Jondy had set for her. 'A lose-lose situation, that brat. Bingo, gotta plan.' "Hey Logan, could I ask you a question?"
"Yup." He said standing upright from where he had been bent over to place forks around the table and fixed his gaze on her. 'Remember, you have no feelings for her. What are you talking about? Of course I don't have any feelings towards her! Ok, stop arguing with yourself, and pay attention to her question.
"Jondy was telling me about liquid tryptophan, do you think you could help me find some? I mean, I can get you money." She looked up from the floor and saw that Logan was smiling at her. "What?"
"I was going to ask you pretty much the same thing…on a level. I get these guys the liquid stuff in kind of a payment for them helping me with stuff."
"Stuff? What kind of stuff am I getting myself into?" Max said, not exactly liking what had just came out of his mouth.
"Oh, just stuff that needs to be done. You'll like it. You get to steal things, kick asses, sneak around at night...my chores keep X5's happy."
"Right."
