*9 AM The Next Morning*
"Have a nice rest?" asked a semi-perky Tris.
"Yeah, how come you're up so early?" Logan answered with only one thing on his mind. //Coffee, I need coffee. //
"I don't need a lot of sleep, as I have basically the same genes as Max, and IT'S 9AM!" Tris finished in a fake yell.
"Oh," said Logan as he sauntered over to the coffeepot.
//I can't believe I slept in this late. I guess finding out that Max is alive puts me at ease...a little. //
"Hey-Low!" Jondy practically shouted as she, Krit and Lydecker entered the penthouse after a brisk walk from the nearby hotel they were staying at, under false names, of course.
"Hey," Tris broke into a small smile and gave Jondy a hug.
"Women..." Lydecker grumbled under his breath forgetting there were now two genetically engineered females with awesome hearing in the same room, ready to kick his butt.
He was lucky though, and got away with only an eye rolling from Jondy.
"So what's the plan for today?" Lydecker said looking expectantly at Logan.
//God, what is it twenty minutes since I got out of bed and already being requested to give out orders. Max would be so proud. Max. //
A slight pain struck his chest.
Thinking about Max as the woman he loved, not simply a mission hurt Logan so much. Although his brain knew they were going to save her...or at least try, his heart only knew that she wasn't with him.
He tried to block out his feelings but sometimes he was too late, and he had already started thinking about her before he could stop himself.
"Are the weapons in order as we discussed yesterday?" Logan asked schooling his facial features, as he was now in Eyes Only mode.
"Yes, they are prepared and ready in your cabinet for when we need them," answered Lydecker.
"Krit, have you found any leads in getting us access to a military vehicle?" Logan asked as he continued down the mental checklist.
"Yes, I am going to pick it up at 11:00am."
"Good, Jondy have you picked up the kevlar vests?"
"Yes, they're with the weapons in your cabinet," answered a confident, yet stern Jondy.
"Well, the rest is up to me then. I'll have to find a hacker friend of mine to help us out--I'll get started on that this morning. And then I need to examine Manticore's systems." Logan stated for the benefit of the group. Oh...Lydecker?"
"Yes?"
"Do you have any connections that would know, which security company Manticore has hired for the night?"
"Yes, I suppose I could check around."
"Good," Logan had a look on his face that easily translated into 'I have everything under control.'
"So everyone knows what they should be doing?"
"Yes," answers Lydecker in his typical formal manner.
"Yeah," replied Krit.
"Ummm...me and Tris don't exactly have a task."
"Oh..." said Logan starring at a speck of dust that was apparently very interesting.
"May I suggest a shopping trip?" Jondy said eagerly.
"Yes, Tris is in need of some clothes, I think that's an excellent idea," answered Logan obviously very happy he didn't have to come up with an idea himself.
Krit and Lydecker were already heading for the door as Tris shouted a hurried "Bye!"
"Are you going to hand over some cash?" Jondy asked Logan thinking he was loaded. Knowing nothing of the fact that he was cut off from the Cale wealth a few months ago.
"Here you go," he said handing them a stack of 20's.
"Umm...that's okay I have some money," Tris said as she knew from Max that Logan wasn't as wealthy as he was before.
"NO! It's fine," Logan said looking her straight in the eye.
"No it's not," Tris said with equal force.
//That's what is so alike between her and Max. They BOTH always have to get things their way. //
"Fine then, Mention my name at any major department store and you won't even need to pay," Logan said in half-defeat.
//The Cales have dragged so many departments store out of bankruptcy after the pulse. //
"Okay then," Jondy said unsure of what had just taken place, but wanting to shop very much.
She and Tris headed to the door while Logan turned back to the computer room.
Jondy turned around, "Logan, can we take the Aztec?"
"Sure," said Logan already deeply cemented in his work.
"Workaholic," Jondy whispered to Tris as they headed out the door.
Tris answered her with a smile and a knowing "Tell me about it."
*At the Department Store*
"Wow, this is pretty," Tris stared in awe at a slightly ruffled light pink skirt.
"And I thought I was the only genetically-engineered-female with girly taste," Jondy said.
This caused Tris to break into a wide smile.
"Wow, Look at the hottie in the doorway," Jondy said, turning away from the man.
"Do you think he's a threat?" Tris answered in her soldier tone.
"No, I think he is FINE, girl," Jondy said between laughs.
"Oh..." said Tris, embarrassed.
"Yeah he is pretty hot," Tris said while looking at the twenty something blond.
*3 Hours Later*
"Wow, your going to be stylin' now," Jondy said looking down at their multiple huge bags.
"Yeah," said Tris, absolutely beaming.
"Let's grab an ice cream," Jondy said gesturing towards a McDonald's.
"Sounds Good to me"
*Meanwhile Back at Logan's*
"Damn it!" Logan yelled slamming his fist down on the table.
//Everybody's either dead or in hiding. I am never going to get someone to help me hack into Manticore and I can't hack into the back up and the main systems at the same time. I am going to lose Max...//
This thought brought on another "DAMN IT!" from a very frustrated Logan.
//Sebastian just had to pick this week to go to that biology lab in Canada to gather new information... //
"Ouhghhhhhh...," Logan winced, holding his hand.
*Knock-knock*
//Who could that be? ... Its too early for anybody to be back yet...//
He grabbed his gun and opened the door.
"Hello...may I come in?" said a 14-year-old semi-Persian looking boy.
//He looks like he's a Bratt, this must be about the party. //
"Sure," said Logan still showing no emotion.
Logan shut the door and turned to face the boy.
"I know who you are Logan Cale," the boy said with a sly grin, "or should I say Eyes Only?"
A look of shock broke out on Logan's face.
A/N: ha ha ha...I am sorry to leave you with a cliffhanger but I just couldn't resist. You know how it works you read & then you review & then I will post more. If the chain is broken...say you don't review then I won't post more cause I think no one is reading soooo...
LEAVE A REVIEW PLZ!
If you want to find out who the mysterious boy is.
A/n 2: As you all probably know or are wondering about...why I included Benjamin Bratt when he just broke up with Julia Roberts. Well...it's a total fluke that they just broke up cause I had planned out the whole plot for my fic before I posted the first chapter. But they just had to go and break up and mess up my story of well...it might end up even better than I thought... :) They were my favorite couple...(with Michael and Jessica in a very close 2nd, of course) N e ways...plz review :)
