Sketchy backs away and goes in search of Original Cindy. He wants to give them some space, so they can talk this out.

Logan: How could you lie to me like that?

Max: Logan, I was just trying to protect you. I don't want anything to happen to you, especially if I'm the one that causes it.

Logan: I just can't believe that you lied to me like that.

Max: (with tears coming down her face) Logan, I don't like what I did either, but I couldn't think of any thing else to do. I am poison to you, Logan! I would never forgive myself if anything ever happened to you. I would rather get caught by White if I knew that you would be safe.

Logan: Don't say that, Max.

Max: Well, it's true. I'd do anything to make sure that you were safe. I love you too much to let anything happen to you, ever.

Logan: What?

Max: Huh?

Logan: You said you love me?

Max (smiles): Of course I do. I don't want to live without you. (frowning) But, because of this virus I will just have to settle for knowing that you are alive and well.

Logan: I love you too, Max. I lost you once before and never want to loose you again. We just have to be more careful than we have in the past.

Max: So, are 'we' okay?

Logan: Yeah, I'll take that comm. unit back now.

Max: Oh! Yeah, but are you sure?

Logan: What do you mean?

Max: You could listen to what I tell Sketchy during the rest of the interview, and then we can talk without getting close to each other, you know as a safety precaution.

Logan: Okay, but we may need it later for a mission or something.

Max: Okay, well I better go find Sketchy, finish this interview, and get him and O.C. out of here.

Logan: I'll be listening.

Max: I know you will, and if he asks something that you don't think he should know than just let me know and I'll do the whole 'no comment' routine.

Logan: Okay, I'll see you around.

Max: Bye.

Logan: Bye.

Max went in search of Sketchy and found him talking to Original Cindy.

Max: I hope you guys aren't talking about something that you shouldn't be.

Sketchy: Of course not Max!

Max: Good! Because, remember what I said about kicking your ass.

Sketchy: How could I forget.

O.C.: What are ya' talking about, Boo?

Max: Oh, just the common secret that you both know.

O.C./Sketchy: He/She knows?

Max: Never mind about that. Sketchy, we better finish that interview and no more getting off track. I am doing this because you have a right to know and I really want to expose those cult loonies before anything happens.

A/N: Please review and I'll post the next chapter as soon as I can.
