Disclaimer: If I owned Dark Angel, I'd do a little victory dance. But since I don't own it, I guess you don't get to see the dancing. Hehe.

A/N: Wow, chapter 8. Elinor will be pleased. (*Darkone sticks her tongue out at Elinor*)

A/N2: Thanx to everyone who reviewed. I don't really know what to do with this story, except that Elinor won't die (*Everyone moans in protest*). It's not like I can just kill her off. Hehe

Anyway, on with the show…



"RING RING" The shrill ring of Logan's phone broke the mood.

//Damn!// Logan thought. //She'll just run away now.//

"Max, I will be right back." Logan said, fixing her with a stare. "Do not move."

Max sighed. //Oh dear. Now my brain starts over-thinking the situation.//

She nodded to Logan's request and he ran to answer the phone. Max stood up, realising that she was late for work.

//Damn! Guess I'll have to leave Logan a note.//



"Hello, Cale speaking." Logan answered the phone quickly.

"Hi Logan, it's Tym."

"Man, where were you the other night?" Logan asked anxiously, wanting to finish the call and get back to Max.

"I know." Tym sighed. "I had to keep a low profile, Logan. These guys are after me again."

Logan sighed. "Well, uh. Come and see me in about an hour, and I'll see what I can do."

"Thanks Logan. Bye."

"Bye."



Logan walked back to his bedroom quickly, but saw only an empty bed. //Damn!// He went to make the bed and saw a note.

Logan,

Sorry I had to go. I am not running away you know, I just have to go to work. I need to think a little about this. I will come over for dinner at about 8

Love Max.

1 Logan grinned. //"Love Max"??//



Elinor smiled to herself. //I think this kidnapper is going to have a nervous breakdown.//

She continued to sing. "Spectacular, spectacular, No words in the vernacular can describe this great event, you'll be dumb with wonderment…"

"SHUT UP!!!" Leah shouted. //God, I am soooo going to kill this kid.//

Leah stood up from her chair and began searching for a knife. "EUREKA!" She shouted, holding up a nail file and advancing on Elinor.

Just as she reached Elinor's shoulder and prepared to strike, Bob walked in.

"Leah!" He said, surprised. "I told you not to kill her. Otherwise, you can't kill Max."

//Leah?// Elinor thought to herself. //Hmmmm. Now I know who the grumpy kidnapper is. And damn. She's gonna kill Max.// Elinor continued to think of a way to warn Max and Logan about Leah and the man who she presumed was her father.



Max biked slowly into JamPony, and nearly ran into Original Cindy.

"Boo! Where were ya last night?" Cindy asked worriedly.

"Huh?" Max snapped out of her thoughts quickly. "Oh, I was at Logan's." She answered Cindy.

Cindy raised her eyebrows in a silent question. "Come on Cindy." Max sighed, exasperated. "You know we're not like that!"

Cindy laughed. "Uh huh, you just keep telling yourself that." Cindy sighed. "Well, if ya do wanna talk about whatever's worrying mt boo, you know where I am."

Max smiled at her friend. "Thanks Cin-"

Her thanks were interrupted by Normal. "Bip bip bip girlies." He screamed. "This is not the time nor the place for your little D and M." He threw at package at them both. "Go deliver that."

Max rolled her eyes. "Yeah Normal, when I'm ready." She walked into the locker room, leaving her workmates to laugh at Normal's incredulous look.
