EPISODE 3: WHERE IS JONDY?

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Dark Angel, Just my storyline.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Taylah sat at the table and ate her breakfast. Her parents had already gone to work. She hadn't even started getting ready for school and that was because she couldn't stop thinking about Jade's journal. Or should I call her Jondy, or Lisa? I'm not sure!

She ate her breakfast and then decided she'd better start getting ready, she had to finish her IT Outcome in class that day and she needed to prepare for that.

She got up and went to the kitchen with her plate and put it in the sink and washed it and placed it on the rack to dry. And then she looked at the phone.

And then she picked it up and dialled the number she had already memorised.

The phone rung and she waited. Then finally Max answered.

"Hello?" Max answered in a chirpy voice. "Logan you better stop looking at my letters or I'll let Cindy put the smackdown on your ass!" Max spoke to someone on her side of the line and Taylah could hear everything.

"Is that Max Guevera?" Taylah asked nervously.

"Yes it is!"

"This is Taylah, Jade's sister- Jondy's sister!" Taylah informed Max.

"...Jondy's sister. You know her names Jondy? Is there something wrong" Max got serious and Taylah could tell by the silence on the phone that it effected everyone in the room Max was speaking from.

"Max, I found out about her in her Journal. And I know who she is, was and I got some bad news. Jade went missing a couple of weeks ago as well as her ex boyfriend and everyone has been looking for her. It's in the news and the police have a full on investigation happening." Taylah started to tell Max about Jade and she could feel tears in her eyes as she told Max of her sister's disappearance.

"Missing. And her boyfriend? Oh my gosh. Do you think she could be here in Seattle?" Max asked in an upset voice.

"I'm not sure. I'm just so scared and we need your help finding her. She got food poisoning and Brad and Jade were taken in an ambulance which Brad had called and she was never taken to hospital and the Emergency Calls Centre says there was no call made from Brad to that address. We have no idea where they went!" Taylah was now crying.

"Taylah, I promise I'll find her. But you gotta promise you don't tell anyone where she is and make sure that no one gives up trying to find her. Makes sure your parents don't go and cancel her uni or anything. I promise I'll get her back." Max tried to act calm and was clearly affected by Taylah's tears.

"Max, I gotta go cause I got school. But I called cause I just found out about her and I want you to know I'll protect her and that we need your help trying to find her." And then Taylah hung up and Max was left holding the phone to an empty line.

Max and Logan were now at Sebastian's and they were researching into Brad.

"So Sebastian, what have you been able to find out?" Logan asked sitting across from him.

"I found out that he's dead. His body was recovered from an alley in Sector 6 which means it's possible that Jondy is in Seattle." Sebastian communicated through the computer link-up, which provided him to speak. Sebastian couldn't speak through his mouth and was in a wheelchair.

"So do you think White could be connected to Jondy's disappearance?" Max asked and Sebastian began tapping his head against the lever so the computer would answer his question.

"Yes, it is possible. Brad was working undercover for an organisation called UMCA, or the United Manticore Clean up Agency. And Brad's real name is Bradley Grillo, Agent Bradley Grillo working for that same agency. I would think that they poisoned Jondy and then Brad called the extraction team and then they left the country some way. But it still isn't obvious that Jondy left the country, or that she is here in the states."

"Thankyou Sebastian and please call us if you find out more." Logan and Max left.

Max and Logan walked in his front door and Logan went strait to the computer. He got the informant net loaded and Max went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. It had been 3 hours since Taylah's phone call and Max was very depressed.

"Logan, do you have any of those strawberries from the market left cause I can't find them?" Max called after Logan with her head in the fridge.

"No sorry, I think we polished them of Saturday night." Logan was online with Kylie in Brisbane discussing Jondy's progress. Kylie was sending him the media reports and she had been able to hack into the Melbourne Police Database and she was sending Logan that information as well.

"Then I guess I'll just have to eat the ice cream and maybe I'll eat that chocolate as well." Max opened the freezer overhead and pulled out the ice cream and the chocolate from the below fridge. She then grabbed some spoons and went to the lounge room. She started eating on the couch and Logan watched her attack the sweets she had layed out on the coffee table.

"I know you can eat a lot, but I've never seen you attack food like your doing now." Logan got of the seat and went and stood in the office entryway that entered the lounge room.

"So, I got my reasons to binge." Max didn't stop eating and Logan knew he had to stop her.

"Max, we will find her. I really do believe she's okay and I think she's nearby. I mean Brad found his way here so she's gotta be somewhere close by!" Logan came further into the lounge and sat on the chair with Max.

And Max moved away.

"Max I-"

"Don't, I can't deal with you telling me what I want to hear. I just need to be depressed right now." Max put the ice cream spoon in her mouth and ate the ice cream. "In fact, I gotta blaze. If you find anything, just page me and I'll come blazing down the street." Max grabbed the ice cream and put the carton in the bin. Then she went back and grabbed the chocolate and left. Logan didn't try stopping her, he knew better.
