Prologue

Logan and Max had been working on a mission to stop some embezzlers. It had taken several weeks and many break-ins. Max was beginning to think there was nothing to be found despite the Informant Nets' information. She was getting ready to give up when the case finally broke. It resulted in the money being returned to the charity fund for homeless shelters and the need for Seattle's wealthy to have a celebratory ribbon cutting for the new shelters. They had no idea that Eyes Only had really cracked the case. They didn't care. They only knew that they wanted to a have party to publicly pat themselves on the back for their contributions.

Logan had been invited to the banquet because his family had contributed a substantial sum by most peoples standards. He didn't feel much like going because he knew most of those in attendance would be like his uncle. However, he eventually changed his mind and asked Max to accompany him. They had been spending so much time on the case and he thought she deserved a chance to see the results of all of her work. He knew that a lot of the people who had benefited from the shelters in the area would be in attendance. He figured she should actually come close to the people that she was helping. It wouldn't hurt him much either to get out and connect with the world at large, or at least Seattle's little corner of it.
