2. Bad News Sucks


Max parked her Ninja in front of Logan's apartment and punched the elevator buttons
rapidly. She tossed her head arrogantly and smiled as she walked down the hall. On the
phone, Logan had sounded serious. Something bad was up. So, while Normal was firing
her ass, she'd find out what was under Logan's skin.

Ringing the doorbell on Logan's apartment, she was rushed in by Bling who escorted her
into the room where a body lay. Max placed her hands on the body and softly touched it...

"Oh, Zack... what happened?"

The look on her face almost tore Logan in two. He would do whatever it took to help this
ingrate. Just for Max. He'd do anything for her afterall. It was about the way she moved,
loved cared- her passion... she was addictive.

I never had a dream come true,
Till the day that I found you,
Even though I pretend that I've moved gone,
You'll always be my baby,
Never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day,
Wherever love takes me to,
A part of me will always be with you...

Zack on the other hand- was the side of genetically engineered flesh that he would rather
throw out a window. Where did he get off anyway? Stop it Logan, they're just kids...
God... just scared kids...

The doctor arrived a moment after Max and immediately took a look in Zack's ears. Then,
he grabbed a tool and reached into the ear, pulling out a small instrument.

"It appears that this device ruptured the ear drum and exploded in the patients ear. It
seems to be also, releasing something into the blood system," Doctor Clarmont uttered.

"I can take a blood sample to my lab-"

"No," Max said. "You'll have to use the computers here."

A moment later the doctor had set up a system for monitoring samples of Zack's blood.
Leaning forward he frowned, his face contorting slightly.

"I found the problem. Bacteria are attacking his throat... the vocal chords are
desintigrating at a rapid pace..."
