At Jam Pony, the next day, Krit and Syl came in. They had to make up a story for Max's absence for the city. Krit went up to Sketchy. "Do you know where I can find the owner of this place?"

"Behind the counter." Sketchy answered.

"Thanks."

Krit and Syl head towards the counter. Herbal and Cindy were there showing this clipboards from their last run.

"Hello." Syl greeted. "Are you the owner of this place."

"Yeah, so." Normal grumbled.

"We are good friend of Max," Krit began. "We are here to explain her absence."

"Why can't she do it herself?" complained Normal. "You can tell her, if she is not here tomorrow, she fired."

"She won't be here for a while." Syl continued. "Max is seriously hurt and in the hospital."

"What hospital is she in?" Herbal asked. "We have to go visit her."

"I am sorry but only family can visit her." Krit told them.

Krit and Syl began to leave. Once they were outside, Original Cindy stopped them. "I want the truth."

"That is the truth." Syl replied.

"Know Max well." Cindy interrupted. "She never steps foot in a hospital for medical treatment because of her condition and some people wants her dead."

"You know?" said Syl confused.

"Max told me about the black helicopter boys." Cindy told them. "Now tell me what really happen."

Cindy took them to her apartment so they can talk in private. Krit and Syl told Cindy what happened at the Manticore base.

"When did Max tell you about Manticore." Krit asked.

"After I saved her life." Cindy answered.
