It was almost 3 o'clock when Logan opened the door of his Penthouse. Sebastian told him what to expect, but it wasn't good. He had to talk to
Zack, but he didn't know how to reach him, so Logan got in front of his Eyes Only computer set and pushed the play button.
" This is Eyes Only streaming freedom video. I'm addressing myself to one person in particular. If you recognize yourself, please call me back,
I need your help for you know who. This message will be playing every 30 minutes until you check in." And he stoped the recording.
" Now we wait." Said Bling, putting Sophie on the floor to let her move a bit.
" Yeah..., replied Logan,...we wait. Like I have nothing else to do! He better be bright enough to know that I'm talking to him and call soon,
or I'll kick his butt!"
'Yeah right.' Thought Bling. He knew Logan was pissed off at Zack because he seemed like a good choice to poke on right now. Bling stared at Logan,
who was arm crossed in front of the phone, waiting for it to ring.
"You wont stay there until Zack calls back? You're making me nervous!" Logan faced him as if to say 'Am I supposed to care?'
" Look, what do you want me to do?! Dance around? Watch T.V.? I can't do that!" It looked like the guy was angry at the world. "Damn!
Max's back in that hell whole, and I have to wait for HIM to get in here! I can't risk to do anything in case it ends up hurting her! How fair is
that, can you tell me?" He suddenly shut up, and frowned, staring at the empty place in front of him.
There was silence.
" You're not doing anything Logan." Bling tried to make him feel less powerless. "You saw Sebastian who told you what could be done,
and what you need to do so. But reality is that the plan wont work without Zack's help, because honestly, he is the only one knowing the damn
place."
" I know that." Logan agreed, but he looked like he was ready to kick the butt of anyone who could come through the door.
" Grow up!" Bling shouted to him. Logan stared at him in surprise. "You're acting like a teenager! Forget you hate the guy and
concentrate on saving Max instead!" 'Sometimes, I could just strangle the guy!', he told himself.
" I don't HATE him, I just don't LIKE him...very different." 'He's right, I feel stupid now.'
" Just think of him as a friend who's coming to help you save her."
" A friend...right!" Logan took a deep breath, almost ready to puke just at the thought of being friend with Zack. "Friends?!"
He was kind of laughing now.
"What?!" Now he's laughing?...
" Friends?...not in this life time...hahaha...but thanks for the laugh."
The phone rang. Logan almost broke it trying to answer it. "Hello?" He was very serious now.
" It's me." Zack said. "What's the problem?"
" She's been taken back there." Logan didn't want to say much on the phone line, you never know who's listening.
" I'm coming." And Zack hung up, not letting Logan the time to ask him in how many hours he could be there.
" That guy's doing everything humanly possible to piss me off!"
Bling didn't say anything back, he knew Logan was irritated because Zack was his hope of ever seeing Max again...in one piece.
The door bell rang. 'Not Zack?! Not that fast!' Logan wheeled himself to the door. 'It can't be him, he'll break a window...not rang the door
bell?!' He opened the door and didn't have the time to place a word.
" Hey, don't you ever do this to me again? Okay?" It was Original Cindy speaking so fast he couldn't even answer her. "You
flew away like you had fire on your ass, letting me there not knowing anything and you think I'm gonna sit on my ass waiting? You better thing
again Sugar, because Original Cindy is not about to do nothing while her home girl's in trouble. Aiight?" She got in and sat on the couch in
the living room. "Now spill it out before Original Cindy gets a brain tumor!" She sounded very determined to get what she came for.
Logan didn't know what to think. He was almost in shock.
"Don't stay there looking at me like I'm an alien! I'm not going anywhere 'til to tell me what's going on, aiight?"
" Look, I like you, but you don't know what you'll be getting yourself into. And I'm not sure Max would want you to to get in trouble on
her behalf."
" What's that crap you're telling me? Do I not look like a big girl to you? Original Cindy can make her own choices, aiight? Now tell."
Logan rolled near her.
" Where do I start...", began to say Logan to her.
