A/N: Thanx 4 ALL the reviews, u guys are the best!!!:) Also there is a lot of dialogue in this chapter:)
Zane's P.O.V.
Oh my god! I'm so glad we're home, now Max can stop talking about Logan. That's all she talked about on the plane ride home. I swear they are so in love they can't even see straight.
Zane: Hey Max aren't you going to call Logan?
Max: I already did. He and Zack and the rest of the crew are down at Crash. I said we would meet them there later.
Zane (jokingly): Well you go on ahead I know you're dying to see lover boy. 'Sides I'm gonna take a shower first.
Max (sarcastically): Ha, ha. Okay fine I'm gone, see ya latah.
Zane: Hey Max, before you go could you see if I have any messages?
Max: Ya sure. Only one. You want me to push the play button?
Zane: Ya go ahead.
Max pushed the play button.
Message: Hey Zane, it's me Zander, when you get home call your sis on her cell phone, it's very important. Thanks bye.
By the time the message was done so was Zane from taking a shower. //Hmm, I wonder what is so important, well I'll give her a buzz later.// Max walked in a little later saying "It was Zander," "Ya I know," replied Zane. Zane had never told the rest of his "sibs" about his past when Max had asked him once he just changed the subject and it had never come up again and the only person who knows is Zack.
Max (in anticipation): So... which one of our sisters is it? Is it Tinga? No, no it's Syl right? No it's Jondy, it has to be her.
Zane: Max, it's not any of them actually you and Zack are the only ones I met up with after the escape.
Max: But... Zander said your sister.
Zane: Yeah *my* sister not yours. Look Max after the escape I was adopted by a nice and wealthy family, they had a daughter her name is Margaret that's my sister.
While Zane was telling her all of this Max's eye caught a piece of jewelry and she went near it and picked it up.
Max: Zane? What's this?
Zane (looking at the piece of jewelry): Oh my god this is my sister's locket, but how can it be here? She never takes it off.
Max: So does that me she's in Seattle?
Zane: Yeah I guess.
While Max was staring at the locket Zane's brain was working over time //Margaret love's Crash, Zack's at Crash, and if I know my sister she's there. Oh my god I can't let her see Zack not after what happened the last time.// Before Max even registered what was happening Zane was sprinting out the door.
-----------Crash-----------
Zack and the rest of the Jampony crowd were sitting at a table drinking beer and laughing, waiting to hear what Logan had to say about Max's whereabouts.
Logan (coming back to the table): Okay guys Max and Zane are coming by in a few.
Original Cindy: God I can't wait to see my home gurl!
Logan (grinning): Same here.
O. Cindy(smiling): Ya I bet.
Zack (cutting in): Cool it guys we all can't wait to see Max AND Zane.
Margaret's P.O.V.
It had been a couple of hours since I left the shop... since I saw Zack. I'm at Crash now it's my favorite place in Seattle. There's so much laughter here, that's why I love it so much. I went to the bar and I asked for some club soda with ice cuz I'm not much of a beer drinker as the bartender brought me my drink I sat on a stool and looked at the people in the bar. Suddenly I saw Zack sitting across the room at a table with his friends. Then I thought of leaving before he saw me but I changed my mind and I said, "A bomb couldn't make me leave this place let alone Zack."
I guess the bartender heard me and he said, "Excuse me? Did you say something?" I gave him a smile and replied, "Just thinking aloud." He gave me a smile and turned back to doing what he was doing. My side was bothering me all day that guy got me good, I think I might have an infection, oh well, Zane has some antibiotics at home.
When I go back there later I'll take some, but for now this ice will feel good on my side. So I took a piece of ice and started putting it up against my wound and right there and then it felt so good.
---------Outside of Crash----------
Max: Zane what the HELL is going on?
Zane: I got to get my sister before she sees Zack.
Max: Why?
Zane: To put a long story short the last time my sis saw Zack he hurt her not physically but emotionally and I can't let that happen again.
Max just nodded her head in understanding.
-----------Inside Crash-----------
Max in front of Zane came down the stairs and Logan was the first to run to her and then the others followed. Margaret turned around to see what all the commotion was about then she saw a person trying to get out of the crowd and it was Zane he was looking all over the place for someone //most likely me// she thought. Zane had this worried look on his face and he hadn't spotted me yet so I decided to put him out of his misery and I walked towards him.
Margaret: Hey!
They all turned to look at me including Zane.
Margaret (smiling): Big brother has anyone told you, you worry to much?
I could hear some of the people murmuring things like "Who is she?" or "Where did she come from?"
Margaret: Well? You just gonna stand there? Or are you gonna get your ass over here and give your lil' sis a hug?
Zane (while giving her a hug): Oh my god I've missed you so much!
Margaret (while returning the hug): I've missed you too...more then you'll ever know.
Zane (while taking the locket out of his pocket): Margaret? What was mom's locket doing on my dresser?
Margaret: I needed to take a shower so I took it off and put it on you dresser because I've had it so long the chain is starting to tarnish and I guess I forgot it there. But thanks for bringing it back.
Zane: Ya sure no prob, hey you wanna join us?
Margaret (jokingly): Like I'm gonna say no to you? Let me just get my drink.
O. Cindy (to Margaret): Hey, what are you drinkin'? Cuz we have beer back at the table.
Margaret: Thanks but no thanks I don't drink beer. (And with that she walked back to get her drink).
Zane's P.O.V.
When I got there and looked around I didn't see her till she came up to me. Then when she said you worry too much I knew she had seen Zack way before Crash. So I figured I'd talk to her about it later when we got back to the penthouse.
Margaret's P.O.V.
Now it's even harder to tell Zane that dad's dead I'll tell him when we're alone at the penthouse. I hadn't even noticed my wound started bleeding again the bartender told me and before I could ask for the first aid kit he had already brought it to me and I thanked him and went to go sit with my bro and his crew thinking //I wonder how Zane is going to react to my wound.//
---------At the Table---------
Zane: Okay Margaret, let me introduce you to my peeps. This is Logan he lives a couple doors down from us, that's Max, Logan's girlfriend and also my sis, those two are Herbal and Sketchy, they are Max's co-workers and friends, that's Original Cindy she's Max's best friend, roommate, and also co-worker, this lovely young woman is Kendra Max's friend and ex-roommate, and of course you know Zack.
Margaret: Yeah how could I forget, hey Zack.
Zack: Hey, so...um...how is school?
Margaret: Fine, how are you?
Zack: I'm doing okay
Margaret: Oh that's good.//See I can be civil and polite.//
Sketchy (to Margaret): Well if your Zane's sis and so is Max then how come you two don't know each other?
Margaret: Well Sketchy you see, Max and Zane are brother and sister but Zane is my adoptive brother.
I had noticed that they didn't see the first aid kit in my hand well I have to clean this wound again and return the first aid kit to the bartender so it's now or never.
Margaret (to all): You guys don't mind if I clean this wound I have? Before I bleed to death.
Everyone (in unison): No go ahead.
Margaret: Good. Cuz I promised the bartender I'd give him back the first aid kit. (While cleansing her wound) so Zane how was your trip to New York? Zander told me you had some business there?
Zane: Ya it was good Max came with me so I wasn't bored the whole way. Okay question? When did you see Zander?
Margaret: I saw him a little while after I arrived when I came looking for you at the shop. I also saw Tony but she didn't notice me cuz she was wearing her headphones and she was working on a motorcycle her back towards me.
Margaret: Speaking of motorcycles can I use some of your tools to pamper my motorcycle?
Zane: Ya sure. One last question?
Margaret: Okay what?
Zane (pointing at the wound): What happened?
Margaret: I was jumped by three guys while I was kicking two of there asses the other one pulled a dagger on me but I gave him a quick roundhouse blow to the head and he was out cold. Well if you guys will excuse me I gotta go return this and I'll be back.
Two minutes later I came back they were having a conversation so I just sat and listened to them and out of the corner of my eye I saw Zack staring at me with a hint of sadness and longing in his eyes.
