SUMMARY: Max finally find Jondy.



Jade Donavan was the name written on the mail she received in her mailbox, it was the name she was listed at Uni as, it was the name entered into a whole lot of databases, electrical company, bank and other companies. But she wasn't Jade, well not totally!

The only thing in the life of Jade, or Jondy, choose a name, is that she is someone. She is living a life she chooses. She is away from everything that the earlier girl lived. Jondy is no more and according to Jade Donavan, it was going to stay that way.

The lap top came to light as she stood up, she has mail. Living in College Square, an apartment building that houses a whole heap of Melbourne University students, Jade was living the life she wanted, a life she chooses. Her lap top was another item she had that connected her to her university and the e-mail account she had was only known by those who intended on communicating because of uni. Thinking it was Anna, her best mate, Jade got of her bed and strode over to the computer. Jade was surprised when she didn't recognise the sender. Jade then glanced at the subject and became horrified.

"Jondy, its Max" was written in the subject line. Max was one of the twelve that escaped, like her. How did she find her was all Jade could think about? After Jade finally relaxed, she opened the e-mail. The e-mail was very simple and strait forward.

Jondy, Jade, whatever your going by these day, I know it's you. I saw your picture, it was sent to a friend of mine and I know your attending Melbourne Uni. Don't worry, no one can trace this message. It's really me, Max. The same Max who used to have tickle fights with you after curfew and never slept just like you, the same Max who used to cry some nights and you'd comfort me. I won't tell you my full name but, I have a link-up set up so you can talk to me over the Internet. Does your computer have a microphone, camera? If no, find one that does and do this within the hour. Then open your account and connect with this link-up. A special unscrambled, untraced video link-up will mean we can talk.

Love Max.

Jade was very uncertain as what to do but knew one thing. She didn't want to face being Jondy again. Talking to Max meant it would, or would it. The last time she was in America was two years ago and Zack had found her and told her about Max. Max was apparently staying put in Seattle and was in danger of getting caught. There was no way she was getting in touch with Max. Max meant danger for her.
