Max had invited Syl, Krit and Biggs to her apartment and Alec decided to tag along.

"So exactly how did you two meet Biggs?" Max asked.

She was so happy so see her brother and sister. The last time she saw them was before they blew up Manticore's DNA lab. She hadn't heard from them since.

"Well we decided to take a look in Terminal City see what was going on there, and we heard some people talking about you. Just so happened it was Biggs. He told us about how two you helped him escape from Ames White. You're quite popular there. Your also lucky we where hanging at Crash when we saw you," Krit replied taking a seat next to Syl on one of the couch.

"Is anyone else there?" Max asked hopeful. Even though it had been awhile since she saw Syl and Krit, she still didn't know everyone that had escaped in '09. Two years ago all she knew was 12 escaped that night.

"Well Zane and Jondy are there. But as for them I really don't know," Syl answered.

"So then there are 5 others that I don't know of. I mean Tinga's dead, Ben's dead, as far as we know Brin is still alive somewhere, and Zack has amnesia. So that's 9 out of 12 that we know of." Max explained. "Well it's nice to know your ok Maxie," Krit responded smiling. "So I've got a question now for you!"

"Shoot!"

"How did you hook up with Alec, Ben's Twin here?" Alec grinned a little knowing how they met was a rather interesting short, story. "We met in Manticore, her was my. breeding partner," Max thought of it for a moment.

At that time she had never pictured being with Alec right now. Syl and Krit laughed at the thought, like how far would Manticore go? The doorknob started to turn, which caught everyone's attention because of their enhanced hearing. O.C. opened the door not noticing at first but when she lifted her head she got a weird feeling. "Why ya'll lookin' at me?" O.C. asked suspiciously, rather confused.

"Nothing. um O.C. This is my brother and sister Krit and Syl and that's Alec's friend Biggs," Max pointed to each person as she introduced the unfamiliar faces. "I see, well y'all I'm Original Cindy. And Original Cindy's goin' to bed so please don't keep meh up," OC warned referring to Max and Alec. "Don't worry bout it!" Max smiled, as OC headed back toward her room mumbling something. Syl looked at her watch and her eyes widened. "Well unlike you Max some of us don't have shark DNA and need to sleep," She said getting up with Krit by her side.

"Aight I'll see soon I hope. Maybe I'll stop by Terminal City during one of my runs tomorrow. Get reacquainted with Jondy and Zane," Max said fallowing to them to the door. "I think I'll be heading out too, I have to pick up some stuff for the people inside Terminal City," Biggs said fallowing them out.

Max closed the door and headed to the couch collapsing beside Alec. "So you have shark DNA? How could that be I see you sleep all the time?" Alec asked curiously. "But you see I don't HAVE to sleep. I do if I feel because I still have other DNA in me like feline," Max answered resting her head on Alec's shoulder. [pic]
