Afterwards
Logan return to his apartment
alone.
The window she had broken into
when they first met:
"You're a thief?"
"Girl's got to make a living."
Max replied.
"Thank God."
"I was expecting someone
else."
"Guess it wasn't the pizza
delivery guy."
"We're just a little tense
right now."
Logan notices the item Max was
stealing
"You have good taste. French,
1920s, a tribute to Chitarus."
"Whoever that is."
"Oh. So... What, you liked it
'cause it was shiny?"
"No, because it's the Egyptian
goddess Bast, the goddess who comprehends all goddesses, eye of Ra, protector,
avenger, destroyer...giver of life who lives forever. "
Peter comes in.
"Stay back, Peter. Security's
on the way."
"I'd love to hang and discuss
art, but I got to jet. By the way, I love your show."
"Building security!" yelled a
security guard
Logan stops them "Hold your
fire!"
Max dives out the window and successfully escapes as Logan watches.
The table where they had dinner almost every night:
Hiya. Logan greeted.
"You paged me?"
"I thought you might want to
join me for dinner."
"I don't want to put you to
any trouble."
" Well, it's nothing fancy.
Just one of my run-of-the-mill spur-of-the-moment culinary miracles"
"Ah...a glass of pre-pulse
Tokay Pinot Gris'll cure what ails you."
The lights go out.
"Now you have to stay because
even you shouldn't be wandering around out there during a brownout."
"I've got a wicked headache as
it is."
"You know, there was a time
when this city actually worked...
"Or so they say. What were you
doing when the pulse hit?"
"On my uncle's yacht motoring
into Friday Harbor on Orca's Island with a lady friend.
" Why does that not surprise
me?"
"I knew the end of the world
was coming when the Sat-Nav crashed and, uh, we ran aground. How about you?"
"It's hard to imagine a genetically enhanced killing machine like yourself putting up with that."
"I was trying to fit in, you
know? Act like a normal kid. Global chaos seemed as good a reason as any to
bail on a bad situation, so I did."
The couch where he helped Max through one of her seizures:
"Every once in a while, I hit
a rough patch. Usually the Tryptophan helps, but...these seizures are much
stronger than usual."
"Should I call a doctor?"
" What are you going to tell
him? That your genetically engineered friend has a design flaw in her brain
chemistry"
"That stuff really helps?"
"Supplements the serotonin that my brain's supposed to make but doesn't. When the levels are low, I have a seizure. I'm supposed to be a revved-up girl. Truth is, I'm a lemon."
"I don't know about that."
Max starts shaking
uncontrollably.
" What can I do?"
"Stay with me, please?"
"I'm right here."
"You won't leave?"
"I'm not going anywhere."
The kitchen where Max discovered that Logan forgot to put the oven on:
"Dinner." Logan announced.
Logan gets the chicken.
He
"Oh, no."
Max walks over to see an
uncooked chicken.
"Chicken tartare?" Max smiles.
Logan and Max both laugh.
"That's so wrong." Logan smiles.
His life is gone to feel so empty
without Max.
