One Catch

Author's Notes: So this whole thing has kind of swayed greatly from its intended roadway. I'm trying my best to just wrap up this horrible excuse of a first fanfic! Bear with me for just a bit longer and it should be done somewhat soon.
If it helps any, this is from Logan's POV.
And if this helps any more, for those that need or want it, this chapter should clear up a lot of questions you might have, at least most of them. And don't worry, by the end of this thing, whenever that'll be, you'll understand that prologue and what exactly it means and why I put that there.
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Fox's. But I do own Arlyn, and the O'Briens (including Colom).
And now on with the show!
Chapter 15
~*~ "And ever since then, I've been Arlyn – 'pledge'." ~*~
"No one calls you that around here, do they?"
"No. The privilege is restricted to you and Mom."
"Oh." What else am I supposed to say? How about next thing on my mind, here it goes. "So, Ar, there anything interesting here, to see or do maybe?"
"Yeah. How about, we can go and get some coffee first, or something to eat maybe?"
"Sounds good."
"The shop is it."
"This shop have a name? Or were they horribly unoriginal and it's literally 'The Shop'?"
"No, it's actually 'Blue Angel'. I know. The owner had a thing for collecting teddy bears. Fell in love with this one blue angel bear, and there you go, your company's name."
"The Blue Angel then!"

We had gotten all of two steps into the place and I was filled with an air of 'Hey's and 'Hello's.
"Hey everyone! I want to introduce a very old friend, Logan Cale. Logan, this is everyone."
"Ah, hello 'Everyone'."
From the far corner, where two women sat, "Aw, he's cute, bring the hottie over here!" came to the men's direction.
God, was that really necessary? I'm sure I'm about as red as a tomato right now.
"Sorry Gellie. He's … well we're on a hunt to find his girl actually."
"My girl?"
"Well, yeah, you know Max. She'd be yours, at least in my book she is."
"That may be true, but I hardly think it's true in her book."
Did he just mumble "We'll see about that, we'll see," under his breath? Fine, give him the last word, I'm a big man. I don't always need to get the last word in everything.
"If he's got a girl, but he's not with her, show her to me. I'll take her. Must be fine as hell!" came a really loud yell, in similar fashion to what I had received.
"Ah, how about … no."
"Tell him Logan!" came Ar's response, great help he's being.
"Hey, Colom, you seen Kye around?"
"No, sorry, I haven't. Why haven't you?"
"No, she didn't come in this mornin'. Something serious must be wrong, wouldn't miss a day otherwise. Keep a look out, you see her, you tell me?"
"Of course, of course."
"Ar, who's Kye?"
"Kye? She's well … a girl that … she works here as a … well."
"Well what exactly?"
"I was trying to come up with a way to do this a whole lot better than it's going to turn out."
"What's going to turn out bad? Ar, what'd you do?"
"Well, Logan … you see … no, how about … I don't think I can do it."
"Huh?"
"No, I'll get it. Give me a sec." He looked really intense in thought, and then seemed to come to an answer to his question. "You've got an amazing woman Logan."
"Yeah, Max is amazing." But why'd he say that. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that I thought she was amazing.
"How do you think I know, that Max *is* amazing?"
"Because she is?"
"Try once more …"
"Because … Ar!"
All he can do is give me a sheepish grin and a shrug. That bastard!
"How could you? Ar! Wait, Kye's Max, isn't she?"
"Yeah."
"Ar! I found her, you found her. Ar!"
"Yeah, guess I did."
"Is she okay? You said you haven't seen her, and she didn't come into work. Max would've at least called in sick if she wasn't going to come in."
"I don't know. I really have no clue what's up with her."
"She's going to kill me for this… but I've got to make sure she's alright. Where does she live Ar?"
