A/N: What, is nobody reading this? The only reviews I've gotten have been from JoJo and ME, Who I'd like to thank for reading this. Anyway back to the story. Sorry it took so long.



Kendra: Max!

Max: Kendra!

They run towards each other and hug.

Kendra: It's been way to long.

O.C.: Hey don't I get a hug too.

Kendra: Of course, O.C. Wait what were you doing in there?

O.C.: Oh, you know helping a friend, or should I say friends.

Normal: Well, I guess you guys got away.

Max: Normal! What are you doing here? Why would you want to help us?

Normal: Well, kept anything from happening during the hostage situation. You saved my life last year, when those punks wanted that package that got switched. Apparently, you helped a lot of people. I'm guessing these are not all the people that you have helped.

Max: You're right. There are.

Logan: Max!

Max walks over to Logan who is talking to Lauren and Sophie.

Max: Hey.

Lauren: Hey. I never got a chance to thank you for everything that you did.

Sketchy was standing near by listening and came over to them. He turned to Lauren to ask her a question.

Sketchy: Would you mind telling me what Max did. I am a friend of hers and a reporter. I am doing a story on the truth about the transgenics and would love to hear your story.

Lauren: Sure.

Sketchy: Okay, how did you meet Max.

Max: Logan was trying to get her into witness protection when I broke into his apartment.

Logan: You told him about that?

Max: Yeah, he asked me how we met.

Lauren: Anyway she came into the room I was in and when Logan's bodyguard, Peter, came in she had him knocked out in under a minute. The next time I saw her was after Sophie had been taken.

Sketchy: What happened in between that time?

Logan: I suspected something and I had received a report a couple years back about Manticore and the '09 escape. I looked at the back of her neck and saw the barcode and knew that my suspicions were right.

Max: Do you remember that hoverdrone footage of a shooting almost two years ago?

Sketchy: Yeah, isn't that when Logan was shot?

Max: Yeah. That was Lauren running from the car and Peter, Logan's bodyguard, was the guy that was shot on that side of the car. Logan had Sophie in his arms when he was shot and they grabbed her.

Sketchy: So, what happened next?

Max: There was a second attempt on Logan's life at the hospital.

Sketchy: What? Who? Where? How?

Max: Bruno Anselmo . . . in the ICU . . . with a rocket launcher.

Sketchy: So what about Sophie?

Max: Basically I got Sophie's location and tricked Bruno into thinking that his boss was trying to kill him.

Lydecker was listening near by and walked over.

Lydecker: That was you with the girl?

Max: Yeah sorry I used you and your men as pawns in getting her back.

Logan: What?

Max: Do you remember that P.I. I was using?

Logan: Yeah. Vogelsang. So?

Max: Well I got the location of Sophie by giving him a phone number, which I heard on speed dial, to trace knowing that the phone was tapped. Used that fact to my advantage.

Logan: You never told me that.

Max: Must have slipped my mind. Besides it would have just made you worry more.

Logan: Of course it would. You were that close to Lydecker. That was a big risk.

Sketchy: Wow, this is great. Maybe I should get some stories from some of the other people.

Max: Whatever, have fun.



A/N: Please review. Let me know how you think. The more reviews and/or emails I get the faster the next chapter will be up.

Who do you think Sketchy should talk to next? Charlie and Case? Normal? What do you think?
