Dedication: To everybody who reviewed, thank you, maybe I should start handing out soft toys as a token of my appreciation.
Oh and Jade-angel, I'll definitely consider your suggestion, thank you for telling me, one thing though; when I wrote that particular scene, I had a picture of a very sick Max, and therefore I didn't think she'd know and be able to do something about it. But thanks again, I'll keep my character reality in check!

Chapter 3
"Max, boo, tell me what's botherin' ya," OC said looking at a very pale Max.
"Cindy, I don't know how to say this but . . . I don't think I'll live much longer." Max finished in a whispery voice.
"Waddaya mean boo?" Cindy asked, she knew Max had been really sick; she personally talked to the doctor to make sure her home girl would be okay. "The doctor said you'd be fine in a couple of days girl!" Cindy said, "Now whatcha so worried 'bout huh?"
"He showed me a file Cindy, I know what's happening to me, and I'm gonna die soon," Max tried to explain to Cindy.
"Whhhhhhh . . ."
"I HAVE BLOOD CANCER!" Max screamed into the room, before breaking down into tears. Cindy however, was too mesmerized to talk.
"Boo, you don't have cancer, you don't have a male doctor and you most certainly won't die!" She finished, cradling Max like she would an infant.
"I saw . . .the file . . . I know I'll die . . ." Max continued, as the tears subsided after a while.
"Max, listen, I talked to Dr. Shankar, she told me and your boys that you'd be okay. We were with you since the very first day!" Cindy told Max, as calmly as she could.
"He came, he told me not to worry, and then he showed me the file . . . my body can't stand all the new development's Cindy, Manticore made me immune to Skin cancer, but the runes leave toxic substances in my blood, they're slowly killing me, I can feel it." She said slowly.
"Boo, the only 'he's' that were around you was Alec and Logan, we were allowed to see you after Ms. Shankar was sure that you weren't contagious. It was only a few hours that we left you alone. NOBODY was near you girl, that OC promises ya." She told Max, hoping she would understand.
"Cindy, I feel it in me, I can't control it . . . I'm in so much pain, try and understa . . ." Max slowly said, as tears started collecting in her eyes again. She really didn't care right now, all she wanted to do was seek comfort in someone's arms, and stay there until all the pain went away.
Cindy was immediately at Max's side, she believed Dr. Shankar to dead, she was a great doctor and a trusted friend, however Max's words on the 'he' kept circling her head . . . 'Who could have done such a thing without being noticed?' She kept wondering as she comforted Max.
