A/N: OK I know this is short, but my sister disappeared for a while, so I was left to write it all by my lonesome. So I am just posting what we wrote together and you'll have to wait till she decides to write again to get more. Sorry (



Logan and Max got gingerly out of the car. The walked slowly towards Dan Cale's apartment building.

"Max, are you OK with this?" Logan asked kindly. Seeing the look of annoyance on Max's face Logan disguised his concern as a joke. "Not scared are ya?"

"No." Max smiled. //He's so cute when he cares. And annoying too. But, hey, watcha gonna do?//

"Come on, let's go inside." Logan said reluctantly.

Max sighed. "Let's get this bitch over with."



"They're here." Leah was nervous. //What if I can't do this?// She thought. Outwardly however, Leah was cool and calm. //After all// she thought, smiling //Emotion is weakness.//

"Dan" Leah ordered

"Yes dear?" Dan said apprehensively //She's scary// He thought. //But pretty.//

"Would you go and get the drinks? I'll meet and greet."

"Okay." Dan obliged. //As always// Leah thought triumphantly.

Leah opened the door at Logan's knock. "Logan!" She exclaimed. //Oooh. He's hot!//

Logan grimaced inwardly. //I feel like a piece of meat. I just hope Max doesn't get defensive. Leah could get a shock if she's not careful.//

"Hi Leah."

Max was surprised at Leah's blatant flirtation. //Geez that girl's got a death wish. Calm Max. Logan hates her. Plus, I'd kick his ass if he tried anything. It's all good.//

"Hi Leah." Max was trying to divert Leah's attention away from her boyfriend. "I'm Max. It's nice to meet you."

"Oh, hi." Leah was less than enthusiastic towards Max. //I cannot wait until I hand her over to Lydecker.// She thought.

Dan entered with a tray of drinks.

"Oh, great, alcohol." Leah relaxed. She knew that Logan would loosen up considerably with a little alcohol in him.

"Why don't we sit?" She asked, gesturing towards a particularly comfy looking sofa in the lounge room.



The night was going too slowly for Max's liking. //Not to mention the fact that she keeps on flirting with Logan.//

"So, Leah, what business you in?" Max asked, charmingly. //President of ice queens anonymous?//

"Oh, this and that." //You'll get yours bitch. And I'll get yours too.// She thought, with a slight wink at Logan.

"These are nice, Dan, what do you call them?" Logan asked, gesturing at the finger food. //Taste like chicken…Shit.//

"Oh, they're cucumber sandwiches. They're very nice." Dan answered. //mmmmmm. Cucumber.//

"What business are you in, Max?" Leah asked eloquently. //Call girl?//

"Communications." Max replied coolly. //Well, not entirely a lie.//

"Oh, that's interesting." Dan said, smiling. //I think I'll have another sandwich.//

"Yeah, she's multi-talented." Logan winked at Dan. //That should get Leah away from me.//

"I'm sure." Leah added sweetly. //I'll bet. Well, what did you expect from an X5?//
