"Did you just say your name was Guevara?" Normal overheard Max ask the new guy.
'How strange,' he thought, 'that's an unusual name – are they related?' Not a pleasant prospect – two Max's would be more than he could handle.
"Yeah kid, is your name Guevara?"
"Well, yeah. Why?" Eddie replied, looking at Max rather than at Normal.
"Cos we don't employ family here. If you're not Max's brother, then I'm a monkey's uncle, so I want you gone in five minutes. I've got enough people to pay as it is."
"Now hang on, that's not fair! He only just got here and he's not my brother," interjected Max, though a little unsurely.
"Guess you're a monkey's uncle then, hey Normal?" jeered Sketchy.
"Well why should I keep him? If he's not your brother, then what's it to you?" Normal replied, ignoring the comments from the peanut gallery.
"Nothin'! I just thought he deserved a chance, ya know?" she said, looking anywhere but at Normal."
"Yeah, a chance, that's all I want."
"Okay then, I've still got three packages for Sector 10. Do you think you're up to it?"
"Sure, no problem."
'Is he brave or just stupid?' Normal thought.
"Hey you kiddin' man? Sector 10's the baddest area in the whole of Seattle!" asked Sketchy, worried as if for his own neck.
"So?"
"So? You'll be killed, that's what!"
"Normal, let me go with him, he could … get lost," Max almost pleaded.
With a great sense of personal satisfaction Normal promptly told her 'no'.
"I've got other deliveries for you and no skipping out either. As it is you're losing half a day's pay for this morning's escapade."
Both Guevaras took their deliveries and wheeled out of the garage door.
Normal pondered over this latest occurrence in his strange day. He couldn't believe that Max and Eddie weren't related – that surname was too rare. Add to that, the new kid even looked a bit like Max – same colouring, same dark hair, both well built. Yet for all that, Max behaved as if she didn't know him. It was while Normal was pondering these questions, that a beautiful young blonde woman walked into Jam Pony.
"Excuse me? Is Da… Eddie here?"
"He's on a delivery. Leave your name. I'll tell him you dropped in."
"My name's Sarah Kennedy."
That's all for now, more will come as soon as we write it (
