"Logan I need to get out of Seattle now." Max said with urgency in her voice.

"Why?" Logan asked.

"Why do you think?" Max asked, "Lydecker." She finished.

"Does he know where you are?" Logan asked.

"Not at the moment but I think he knows I work for a parcel delivery service, he's been doing sweeps of places in the area." Max replied as she busied herself collecting up the spare clothes she kept at Logan's place, "Have you got a case I can put these in?"

"Yeah but wait a minute."

"I don't have a minute," was her impatient reply. She waited anyway. The look on Logan's face told her that she had more than a minute. She hoped he had a plan better than her run as fast as you can for as long as possible. She didn't want to leave him behind.

After 5 minutes he finally spoke, it was just about time as Max was about to wear a hole in the carpet from the pacing she had been doing. Pass me the phone was all he said. Max wasn't impressed; it had taken him 5 minutes to think of that. She was even more surprised when he rang Normal.

"Yeah, yellow jaundice, highly contagious, she'll need a month or two off." He lied quickly and convincingly. Whatever was Normal's reply she heard this and him spraying disinfectant all over the place with her sensitive hearing.

"What was that all about?" Max demanded as Logan hung the phone up.

"Just getting you some time off work," he replied. She didn't argue she hadn't thought of that in her run plan. Logan saw this in her face.

"The quicker you go the more likely you are to make mistakes." Logan said.

"That's why I came to you. You know what you're doing," she commented.

"Good, right now I'm booking to plane tickets to as far away as possible." Logan said before he picked up the phone. He dialled a number and waited.

A voice at the other end of the line asked him what he wanted, "When is the next flight out of the country?" Logan enquired.

Out of the country Max thought, she'd never been out of the country before.

"Tomorrow? Where to?" Logan asked, "Fine book two first class tickets in the name of Cale. I'll collect them tomorrow." Max hadn't caught where they were going because she had been too caught up in her thoughts.

Logan put the phone down and turned to face his computer. He went to a site from which he could gain the sector passes he so badly needed.

"Bingo," he said to himself, then to Max he added, "Be back in half an hour." He walked to the door and left. By the time he left Max had come no closer to finding out where they were going but she had managed to pack her case.

"Here," Logan said passing her a sector pass, "We're going to be travelling to the airport overnight.

Max and Logan picked up their bags and walked the short distance to his car.

"Where are we going anyway?" Max asked.

Logan grinned, "Not telling. You'll find out when we get there." Max pouted her lips and for one second Logan was tempted to give in. He stayed strong knowing that she'd like the place they were going even more if she didn't know where they were heading.

Max tried several more times to extract the small but vital piece of information from Logan but repeatedly failed. In the end she resorted to putting the radio on for a bit of noise while Logan concentrated on the roads under the pitch black conditions.

"Thanks for doing this for me anyway," she said.

"No problem. I've been dying to get away for ages and this is the perfect excuse." Logan replied max went silent after this He thinks I'm an excuse, great. I hope this works I don't want Lydecker to find out. Her thoughts finally turned away from the trip and to the reason they were taking it. Logan must have noticed Max's discomfort. "I didn't mean you were an excuse you know." Logan glanced over at Max and seemed to see exactly what she was thinking, "He won't find us you know we'll be able to enjoy ourselves after a couple of days and you really start to believe that he won't find us." Max didn't answer Logan but he could tell his words had calmed her nerves.

Two hours later Max and Logan pulled up outside the airport. The day had started and Max was anxious for them to be on their way. Logan parked his car and they collected their bags.

"Will your car be safe here?" Max asked.

"No," Logan replied and then continued to answer Max's question, "One of my informants is picking it up in a few hours. He'll look after it for me." Max nodded happier with the knowledge they'd be able to get back to Seattle after the trip.

The pair headed off towards the airport; towards the check in desk and most importantly for Max towards another country.

A/N: Where do you think Max and Logan should go? I have an idea myself but if I get a better idea I may use it (if that's OK I'll credit you for the idea too.")
