Disclaimer: Don't own Dark Angel and I never will!! Wish I owned Michael Weatherly though. *sigh* But I own Alex, so please don't take her without asking!
Spoilers: Minor ones for all up to 'Hit A Sista Back'. And let's pretend that Max's transfusion cured Logan with no side effects, ok? Also, nothing after HASB happened :-)
Author's Note: This one's pretty short, but I had to interpret Original Cindy knowing about Alex into the story. Please tolerate with me!!

Alex walked into Jam Pony and asked Normal, " Hey, do you know where Max is?"
" Over there," Normal said, pointing, but without looking up.
" Thanks," Alex said, walking over to Max.
" Hey Max! Where have you been? You're a very hard person to get a hold of!"
" Hey Alex!" Max said, getting up from where she was talking to Original Cindy, " Sorry, Normal's been driving us crazy with work," she apologized, " Didn't I give you my beeper number?"
Alex shook her head, " Nope. So… how did your dinner with Logan go?" She grinned mischievously.
Max blushed, " Pretty good. You know, he actually made me cry. Out of happiness," Max said when she saw Alex's mouth drop open.
" Thank God!" She said, " I thought that idiotic brother of mine actually treated you badly enough to make you cry!!"
" Hey, who's this?" Original Cindy asked, finally noticing Alex's presence.
" Hi, I'm Alex," Alex smiled, holding out her hand.
Original Cindy shook her hand, " Hey boo. I'm Original Cindy."
" Alex is my sister," Max informed Original Cindy, " And Alex, this is Sketchy and Herbal Thought."
" Hi," Alex said, giving a friendly wave.
Max caught Original Cindy checking Alex out and said, " And Cindy, sorry to tell you, but Alex doesn't swing that way."
Original Cindy made a face, " You just gotta ruin a girl's fun don't you?"
Alex laughed, " It was really nice meeting all of you."
" Hey, I thought you were Max's sister, " Original Cindy said, " But didn't you say that Logan's your brother? Now unless Max and Logan are really brother and sister and we've been totally wrong about them going out or Max and Logan got hitched without letting us know, how is that possible?"
Max gave Alex a look that said 'she knows' and Alex said, " Well, I grew up with Max and when we 'left', I got adopted by Logan's family."
" Oh…" Original Cindy said understandingly, " You and Max are the same kinda deal."
" Yeah, basically," Alex let out a sigh, " wish I wasn't though."
" That makes two of us," Max said, " You looking for a job? Cuz we don't have enough riders here."
" Sure," Alex shrugged, " Who's the boss?"
" Over there," Max pointed, " Come on."
They walked up to Normal and Max asked, " Hey Normal, think you can give my little sister a job here?"
Alex gave him a winning smile, but Normal said, " We don't need anymore riders."
" Oh, come on Normal!" Max whined, " We are SO understaffed!"
Normal looked at Alex again, " Sure she'll be able to do the runs?"
" I'm not afraid of gang-territories," Alex spoke up.
" Good. We need more people like that. Grab a spare bike over there, you're starting right now," Normal said, " but if you're late even once, you're fired."
" Deal," Alex grinned. She and Max picked up the spare bike and shared low-fives.

A/N: Sorry this one's kinda short, but I didn't know how to end it any other way! I promise the next chapter will be better!! (At least for all the shippers out there! * hint hint! *) And please, read and review!
