{Jam Pony} March 2nd
"Where the firetruck is Max?!" Normal yelled out
Sketchy and Original Cindy walked over to him. "Family Reunion." OC said, at the same time Sketchy said:
"Medical Emergency."
"Well, wherever she is, she better be here in 10 minutes, or her job is up for grabs." Picking up a package, he tossed it to OC.
"South Market, bip, bip, bip."
"That man needs a woman" Herbal said to Sketchy and OC after Normal had moved back to his desk.
"Right on my brother" Sketchy agreed. "Whatever happened to Louise/Lois?"
"That mister sister changed his/her mind, 'memeber boo?" OC replied as she started out on her bike.
"Oh yeah...."
Their thoughts were rudely interrupted by Normal "I don't pay you kids to sit around and gossip! Now, bip, bip, bip!"
Shaking their heads, Herbal and Sketchy went up to the desk and got a run, then rode off.
----Max quickly parked her baby, giving it a pat before she went inside. Putting her stuff in her locker, she stuck a piece of gum in her mouth and walked up to Normal. "Got a run for me?" she asked sweetly, as she leaned on the desk.
Normal, not even bothering to look up said, "Oh, look who decided to grace us with her presence. Max, so nice to see you."
Max cut out the crap and said "Hey Normal, you know if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a job, just a hole in your already empty head, so cut me some slack!"
Hating to admit she was right..."I will forgive you this one last time, but if you're late again, there's no deal." Handing her a package he sighed, "Hot run, 2nd and Main, careful with that"
"Thanks Normal" Max said as she popped a bubble in his face.
"Oh, and tell your little friends that excuse are futile!" he called out as she raced out the door. ((What did I do to deserve this?)) he sighed yet again, and set back to work.
{Jam Pony} lunch time March 2nd
Meeting up with the gang at lunch, Max sat down at the table with them. "Hey guys"
"Hey boo"
"Hello my sista"
"Hey Max" were the replies
"What's happening homegirl?" OC asked as Max started eating.
"The usual, boss on my back, unpaid rent...but it's all good"
"All de time" Herbal agreed
"Lunch is officially over" Normal hollered, greeted by many groans "Back to work"
"Jeez man, I barely started, there's got to be some law against this" Sketchy whined.
"Eat faster next time" Normal retorted throwing a package yet again "Hot run"
"See you later boo," OC said as she got up
"Yeah, see you at Crash tonight?" Max asked
"You better believe it. Original Cindy is feeling lucky today."
Grinning at her, Max replied "Aiight then, gotta bounce. See you later."
--Finishing up the last run of the day, Max stopped by her place, intending to grab some money so she could pick up some more Tryptophan on her way to Crash, as she was almost out, and her seizures seemed to be getting worse lately....
{Crash} later that night
Max walked in and looked around for Cindy and the others. Seeing Cindy at the bar, Max walked over. "This one's on me" she said as she took the pitcher from OC, and paid the bartender.
Walking over to their table, OC asks "Hey homegirl, what took so long?"
"Nothing, I just had to stop by my place"
"I see...so how was dinner dinner with your suga suga?"
"Dinner was fine..." Max answered fading out...
"And? Come on Max! I know you aren't telling me something." Cindy sipped her beer, then directed all her attention on Max.
"And nothing. Nothing happened. He stayed over and went home this morning." ((gosh that sounded bad))
"I knew you was gonna hook up sooner or lata." OC smiled, and looked at Max.
Max protested "We didn't hook up!"
"Ah huh. Original Cindy don't believe that, but she won't go there if you don't want to."
Max's pager went off just then. Looking down at it, she saw Logan's number and smiled. "Later" she said, and hurried out the door.
Herbal and Sketchy walked over to the table after their game of fooz ball. "Where'd Max go? We didn't even have a chance to say hi." Sketchy mumbled
"To visit her boy toy, no doubt" "No doubt at all...." OC grinned knowingly at Herbal, who returned the smile.
