Part 2
"I got this from the apartment of the guy you're after."
Logan looked at the disc for a minute then said, " Are you sure this has the records of who he has sold to and the financial stuff?"
"It should, and if it doesn't I can always break in again. It's not like it's hard for me or anything," she answered.
"I suppose Max could always help you."
"No! I mean, she doesn't know I'm here yet. We've only talked on the phone. Let me talk to her again before you tell her I'm in Seattle. She thinks I'm still in Phoenix"
"I won't tell her," Logan promised.
"Look, I've got to be going. My roommate and I have plans tonight. We're going to check out this bar he friend told her about. It's called Crash."
Before Logan could tell her that's where Max was going tonight, Chimaera was out the door and on her bike.
"Max is in for a surprise," he told himself.
SAME TIME AT MAX'S
"Hey boo," Max said to Original Cindy, as she came in the door.
"Hey. Are we still going to Crash tonight?"
"Yeah. Logan doesn't need me tonight. Just let me change and we'll go."
HALF AN HOUR LATER, CRASH
Max and Cindy walked in and were immediately mobbed by Sketchy, who said something so fast that they couldn't understand him.
"Whoa! Sketchy, slow it down. You're beginning to sound like Herbal," Max said.
"Ok. Max I think that I have had too much to drink," he told her.
"And this is new?"
"No, but this time I haven't had that much."
"Ok. Now that you've told us what was so important, can we please go sit down?"
"Max, do you have a twin?"
Part 3
"What?!" she responded, after the initial shock hit her. "Chimaera can't be here, she's still in Phoenix," she thought.
"I said, do you have a twin," Sketchy over enunciated.
"Ummm, I gotta go to bathroom. Cindy, come with me," she said as she drug Cindy away from the guys.
"Women. Why do they insist on peeing in groups?" Sketchy asked Herbal as they watched they girls walk away.
"I have no clue," Herbal responded.
Max finally eased up on Cindy just out side the bathroom.
"Max, what's all this about?"
"I do have a twin. I just found out about her. She was part of an even more secret Manticore project. Only about four of us have twins. Me, Zach, Tinga, and Jondy," Max hurriedly told her.
"Really? And how did you find out about.... what's her name?"
"Chimaera. She was with Terra when they found Tinga and Zach. Zach gave her my number and told her not to call me, but she's just like me. She called as soon as she got settled in Phoenix. And that's where she is or at least where she should be."
"And you think she is here, in Seattle, in this bar of all bars? Boo, you been spending too much time with Sketchy."
"Well, we won't know unless we go out there. C'mon, let's go. They've already got the beer and right now, I could use one."
Part 4
"So, tell me more about your twin." Herbal said to Max, who was still trying to figure it all out.
"Well, she's basically me, except for the upbringing. The main difference is our name. I don't know much about her since we were separated at birth," Max told them, careful not to divulge any information about Manticore and her own upbringing.
"Well, what is her name?" Sketchy asked.
"Chimaera."
At that moment, Chimaera just happened to walking by on her way to the bar. She turned and said, "What?" After she said that, she realized that the voice didn't belong to her roommate, it sounded like her. She realized that the voice had come from the right, so she turned and looked in that direction. At a table, just a little ways from her own, she saw Max surrounded by her friends. She let the pitcher drop from her hands, it broke into a thousand tiny shards as it hit. She didn't think Max would be here, not tonight anyway.
At the sound of the breaking glass, Max looked over and saw Chimaera. It took a minute to register, and when it had she stood up.
"I'll be right back," she told her friends before she walked away.
"Ok," they responded before diving back into their new conversation about the shirt Normal had worn that day.
Max took off at a run, weaving between tables and reached Chimaera within seconds.
Chimaera didn't see her because she was picking up the pieces of the pitcher, but she heard her and sensed her standing behind her. She slowly stood and turned around.
"I got this from the apartment of the guy you're after."
