Side Notes: I presented Logan with a persona that he might've had before he became Eyes Only.
Chapter 3
The Following Morning
Logan's Place
Logan's POV
"Max was there," I saw her just as she left the club last night. My feelings were in overdrive. I can't believe she was there. The thoughts that lingered my mind was How long has she been there? Did she know I was there? How could she not? I literally jumped up on the counter and recited a poem. I haven't done that in years. It felt good but at the same time, hurtful because that was a part of me Max never knew about. There's so much I want to tell her share with her.
Beep Beep Beep
I hear my computer go off. I guess I have a call. I wheel myself to the computer room and I see Sebastian on my screen. "Sebastian," I say, "what's up?" What else could I have said? I didn't ask him for any favors or vice-versa, so I'm assuming he found something for me.
"My people spotted Lydecker in Seattle," Sebastian says.
"I'm listening," I replied.
"I can give you his last known address"
"Thanks Sebastian, I owe you one." I print out the address he gives me. I thought for a long hard moment, but I can't stand not seeing Max, it's as if I'm in this coma, and the longer I stay under the smaller chance I have to waking up. That feeling plagues me every where I go every single day, I can't stand it anymore. Max may be ready to let everything that we had go, but I certainly am not ready to loose her.
20 Minutes Later
Here I am, standing in front of her door. Should I knock? She probably won't even let me in. No matter the case, I'm not one for being rude.
Knock Knock
I can hear Original Cindy yelling for me to hold up. I've always enjoyed having her company. She's different than any female I've ever known, besides Max anyway.
She opens the door, "Logan!"
"Hey Original Cindy," Logan thinks for a moment.
Original Cindy's POV
"Is Max here?" Logan asks, "In the shower, come in." Now I maybe homosexual but I got to admit Logan does look mighty fine this morning. "Whatcha doin here sugar?" Original Cindy's curiosity takes over. "I want to talk to Max," Logan's voice begins to soften; as if he's trying so hard to find the right words to say.
"Saw you last night," attempting terribly at a conversation. "I know," he answers. I stood there looking surprised. "It wasn't hard to miss you, Alec, Max and Rafer all together." I had no idea he noticed. I hear his voice soften even more. "I would say the same for you, the way you played those cute instruments and your poet extravaganza," I add. "Ah... you saw all that huh?" Logan face begins to get all shy. I couldn't help but smile in amusement.
Max Enters the Room (Her POV)
"Logan!" I knew the impression I gave when I saw Logan standing in my apartment wasn't what he expected. "Hey Max," he proceeded. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "What else? To talk to you, about a lot of things." God! Why did he have to show up? Looking good and everything. I don't need this complication in my life right now, or ever.
"Whatever happened to our 'quip pro quo?'" I ask intensely, but I quickly saw in Logan's eyes that he wasn't having it. I knew that neither one of us ever look down on the other or for anybody. "Don't you ever get tired of acting strong?" he says. "I'm not acting, it's in my genes remember," I retaliated. I don't know what else to do or say. Everything is just so complicated.
Original Cindy felt like a third wheel between us, so she excuses herself to a catch some fresh air outside as Logan and I continue our so-called conversation.
"You shouldn't be here," wanting Logan to leave, I knew I didn't really want him to. "You're probably right, but the only way I'm leaving is if you kick my ass," he managed to see a small smile form on my face. "I didn't think so." Damnit! It wasn't supposed to be this way. It looked so simple when I cross-examined the situation in my head just seven months ago. All I had to do was go into Manticore, destroy the DNA Lab, and get out. Gettin caught wasn't part of the plan. Then again, meeting Logan was never a part of my plan to begin with.
"You know that ain't fair." I say to him.
Logan's POV
"Nothing is ever fair Max," my thoughts go back to the day Max was shot. It's unbearable. "Just look at the predicament were in." Max realizes the point Logan is trying to make. "It's pretty screwed up."
