Lost and Found. Sequel to Beautiful British Columbia
This takes place about a month after BBC they took down the Firefly and Gail Berman is going to be in jail for a long time (YAY) anyway hope you all like this as much as you liked BBC... BTW Kendra is in this version even though where this takes place in the show Kendra was pretty much history and there is no Walter, we don't like him. Ew.
Max woke up slowly and as usual lately was not in her own bed. She was in Logan's bed, where she spent most of her nights now; comfortable snuggled up to her man.
Ever since they had gotten back from their trip to Canada, nothing had been the same, but it was definetly for the better. They were together.
When Max had first gotten back she had to explain to Cindy what had happened between her and Logan of course Cindy and Kendra had suspected something right from the beginning so they weren't surprised, they knew Max and Logan would get together, it was just a matter of time.
But now everything was perfect and everyone was happy. Max spent most of her time in Logan's apartment with him; it was practically her second home.
Logan's entire view on life had changed since they had arrived back. He was much happier, he even accompanied Max to Crash on a regular basis, he had loosened up considerably though Eyes Only was still very important to him. His cause was lessened. He cared more about Max and her well being than his informant, his informant net, and his obsession with saving the broken world.
(Back to the actual story now)
Max snuggled closer into Logan's arms, surprisingly she slept a lot more than she used to when she was with Logan, it was as if she felt more safe. She smiled as she thought of all the things they had been through.
It was still early and Max really didn't feel like getting up so she slowly drifted into unconsciousness nestled in his arms.
* * * *
Max and Logan had just woken up and made their way to the kitchen for breakfast, it was part of their daily routine lately, get up (sometimes Max would wake up earlier than Logan and wait for him to get up since she has some Shark DNA in her) make their way slowly to the kitchen and Logan would prepare one of his spur of the moment culinary miracles.
They were just finishing up their bacon and egg breakfast when Max heard the front door open silently then close again. She signaled to Logan to stay quiet and she quickly blended into the walls and made her way towards the sounds. When she got to where she had heard the sounds coming from she was startled to see that there was no one there. Suddenly she felt strong hands that weren't Logan's wrap around her mouth silencing her, the intruder spun her around to look in her eyes and she was very relieved to find that it was Zack's blue eyes she was starring back into.
He let go of her head so she could speak and she breathed a sigh of relief. "God Zack you scared me half to death what are you doing here?"
"I have to see Tinga, where is she?"
Max was very puzzled by his question and he could tell
"I have no idea, you took her away from me remember?"
"Yeah Maxie well shes not with me, we got to Canada and split up, we were supposed to meet back up together in a city by the border so it didn't look suspicious when we were crossing the border, she never showed."
"Then why would you think she would come to me?"
"I figured she would want to see you"
"Not that I'm not grateful for that thought but I'm sorry shes not here. Never was."
"DAMN! We have to find her Max, Lydecker knows what she looks like now, he could easily find her! And I'm not going to let him!"
"Don't worry Zack, I wont let him either, c'mon I'll get Logan to try and figure out where she went, she must have slipped up with covering her tracks somewhere."
"Sure"
They walked towards the kitchen where Max found a very relieved Logan, but when he saw Zack his expression changed to something unreadable.
"Hey Zack"
"Hey Cale."
Max interrupted Zack and Logan's intense gaze, which they had directed at each other.
"Ok guys, enough testosterone in one room please."
She turned to Logan
"Logan, We need to find out where Tinga is, can you help?"
"Uh, yeah but Zack wasn't she with you?"
"Yeah she ditched me and Lydecker knows what she looks like so we need to find her ASAP."
"Yeah sure I'll get on it."
Logan walked towards his computer room and started to boot them up. Max and Zack were talking in the kitchen, something Logan couldn't decipher.
KITCHEN:
"Max we really need to get you out of Seattle, Lydecker knows what you look like too you know!" "Zack, in case you haven't noticed Lydecker knew what I looked like for a long time and nothing has happened. I'm not leaving!"
"Why are you being so stubborn about this, why won't you just leave!?"
"Because I Have a life here now, I'm happy! I have great friends and things are just starting to progress with Logan and I! This is not the time!"
Right when Max let out the words, 'Logan and I' Zack's heart split in two, he had tried to deny his feelings for Max, by saying the only reason he hated Cale was because he was a tactical exposure but long ago he had admitted that he thought of Max as much more than just a sister. And that's why he hated Cale, but he never thought anything would happen between them, he thought that since Logan and Max were both so stubborn they would never admit their feelings. And then when Zack had found the courage he would tell Max how he felt. But it was too late for that, and now he had to focus on the objective: Saving Tinga and getting her away, far away.
"Fine Max, risk everything!"
With that Zack stormed into the computer room leaving a very bewildered Max in his wake.
COMPUTER ROOM:
Max had followed Zack in only seconds later but him and Logan were already knee deep in Manticore information. They were going through all the files trying to find out just what Lydecker had on the X5s. What information on the 12 that escaped and what images. So far they had already found that Lydecker had pictures of Max, Zack and a small one barely decipherable of Jondy.
Max looked at the screen and was shocked to see and image of Jondy, she didn't know who it was but she could immediately tell. Like a sibling instinct.
"Jondy" she whispered more to herself than anyone else "She so beautiful."
Zack looked at Max who was still starring at the picture and smiled.
They also had locations of many of the x5s of course few of them still resided in the areas that Manticore knew about, though Max was one of them. They also had the locations of: Zack (they had spotted him once on a street in New York), Zane (he had been chased around a little town in Oklahoma only to escape without a trace), Tinga (and her bakery job in Portland), Jondy (some information about her former residence in San Francisco), and lots of information on Max's whereabouts in Seattle which shocked all three of the researchers. None of them knew just how much information they had on Max.
Only minute's later Logan had opened one of Lydecker's private files on the 12 escapees. The first thing each of them noticed there was an unmentionable amount of information on Ben. Places he'd been sighted, Alias' he'd used, and. people he'd killed along the way.
Logan, Max and Zack starred open mouthed at the sight before them, images of Ben's victims, of what he had done to them, the police case files that Lydecker had closed. Ben was getting away with this, there was no one to stop him, and Lydecker had stopped every detective who had ever tried to solve Ben's murders.
A silent tear slowly made its way down Max's face and she turned to Zack.
"I thought you said you were keeping track of all of us!?!?" she asked loud and accusingly
"I was, but like you Ben wasn't one of the ones I checked up on often. He moved around too much, the complete opposite of you. I could never keep up with where he was, I eventually gave up and decided it was better I not try to get a hold of him and just let him do what he wanted, I never even suspected he would start killing people, and so brutally."
Max voice was softer now "how could he do this?" another tear ran down her cheek "what happened to him?"
Logan had said nothing but now he turned himself away from the pictures and stood up to console Max. He hugged her softly and wiped away the tears on her face.
"It's alright Max, we'll find out what's wrong with him and we'll get him to stop. Before Lydecker makes him."
Max was suddenly all business "Where was the last place he was spotted?"
Logan got back in his chair and checked the records "Last place was. Tacoma, and by the looks of it he's making his way up the western coast of the United States, before Tacoma it was Portland, and the first place he was sighted was LA."
"And when was the sighting?"
"About a week ago. I'll check the police scanners, if there are ANY murders reported we'll know about it."
"Good thanks Logan"
After being silent for some time Zack finally spoke up
"Not that I don't want to stop Ben from murdering any more people and getting caught by Lydecker but we really do need to find out where Tinga is"
"Right"
Logan went back to searching for information on Tinga.
* * * *
It was getting late and everyone was getting ready to turn in Logan had set his computer to search for any sightings of a woman matching Tinga's description.
Zack slept in the guestroom and was not happy to find out that Max and Logan both slept in Logan's room, Zack hardly slept that night. Not that he needed all that much sleep anyway. But unlike Max and Jondy, he didn't have shark DNA so he did need some and he definitely did not get enough.
The next morning the 2 x5s were awoken by the entering of someone, someone who was like them; didn't make much noise, but they could hear it no matter how silent the person was.
They met outside their rooms in the hallway and silently signaled to each other what they would do. The person had entered by the skylight and was quietly making their way down the hall. Max met up with the person who as dressed in all black, the crept up on the person from behind. She took the figure by surprising flipping them onto their back and flat on the floor straddling them Max ripped off the mask of the intruder only to be faced wit the familiar eyes of Max stared into the familiar eyes of. Jondy! The look on her face changed quickly into a smile and she helped Jondy up off the floor with her hand.
"Jondy! What are you doing here?"
"I need to see Zack baby sister."
Max's smile turned into something unreadable.
"Oh yeah sure"
She started to lead Jondy down the hallway towards where Zack was but Jondy stopped her.
"What's wrong baby sister?"
"Nothing Jondy, it's just. Well I thought that maybe you were here to see me I mean we haven't seen each other in 11 years."
Jondy walked up to her and put her arm around her shoulders.
"Maxie, of course I wanted to see you! But for one, I didn't even know where you were, I knew Zack was working with Eyes Only and I tracked Eyes Only down. I didn't know you had anything to do with him its just I have some information on Ben and Zack wouldn't return my call."
"You have information on Ben?"
"Yeah, I saw him in Nevada. That's where I was and I think Ben's been in some trouble lately"
"That's for sure, but I'll let Zack let you in on all the details."
Max started to walk away again.
"Wait Max, what are you doing with Eyes Only?"
"He's my boyfriend. Now c'mon"
Jondy chuckled at Max who was already making her way down the hall. She caught up with her and about 2 seconds later Zack appeared.
"Jondy what are you doing here!" Zack frowned "You shouldn't be here"
"Oh right, tactical Exposure, blah blah woof woof. Bite me Zack, I have some information on Ben and what he's been doing. Now Max here says you know something about it, care to let me in."
While Jondy and Zack were bickering Max snuck off to see if Logan had woken up. She walked in the bedroom door and he was leaned up against the headboard looking at her.
"Max, what's going on out there?"
"Jondy's here!"
"Why is Jondy here?"
"She knows something about Ben!"
"Where is she now?"
"Talking to Zack"
"Wait. How did Jondy know where to find you?"
"She didn't know where to find me, she came to find you because she knew you had contact with Zack and by you I mean Eyes Only."
"She knows about Eyes Only?"
"Yeah but don't worry, she's my sister, I'm pretty sure we can trust her."
"That's not what I'm worried about, how did she find out where Eyes Only is that's what I'm worried about."
"Oh, I didn't think of asking her that, c'mon get out of bed, we're going to ask her."
"Sure"
Logan slowly got out of bed.
Max went to find Jondy and Zack while Logan was getting dressed and minutes later he joined them.
He walked up behind Max and wrapped his arms around her waist; she leaned into his strong grasp.
"Jondy, this is my boyfriend Logan Cale or Eyes Only"
Logan reached out and shook Jondy's hand.
"We're wondering how you figured out who Eyes Only was let alone where he was." Max cut right to business.
"I didn't know who Eyes Only was, I just knew he came from Seattle, I checked up on some stuff and ended up figuring out that he lived in one of 3 places, this is the second place I've checked."
"I guess I'll have to work on covering up my tracks better."
* * * * *
Logan had checked the search he had put on his computer the night before and it showed lots of results but they had to start somewhere.
He scrolled through the results his computer had come up with, Max breathing down his back, looking for anything that could lead them to Tinga.
Zack and Jondy were talking in the kitchen about god know what.
"Zack!" They heard Max's yell from the computer room.
Zack and Jondy walked toward her and Logan who were starring intently on the computer screen.
"I think we found where Tinga is." Max explained
"Oh yeah, how do you know its her?"
"Because there a picture"
"How did they get a picture?"
"C'mere"
Zack looked at the screen where Max and Logan were looking. On it he saw that there was a picture of a young woman, it was on a milk carton with the headline 'Have you seen my mommy?'. It had all of Tinga's description only it said her name was Penny Smith.
Zack looked at Max "but how do you know she's there?"
"Because there's also been a sighting of a woman matching her description. Did you know she had a family?"
"No. And I really don't think it matters, she knows not to go back to them, it's too risky."
"Zack, she has a family, a son. She can't exactly stay away from them. No matter how dangerous it is!"
"If she knows what's good for her and them, she'll stay away"
"She wont stay away from them, its only you that thinks having a life is a weakness!"
"Fine, we still have to warn her about Lydecker though, so it looks like I'm gonna be going down to Portland."
"I'm coming with you"
* * * * *
Logan had made them one of his spur of the minute culinary miracles and the 4 of them were sitting down to a quiet dinner.
"So Jondy, I haven't seen you in too long, what have you been up to?" Max brought up a casual conversation.
"Not much actually, thanks to Zack" she sent him a glare "I've had to move around a lot and haven't really stayed in place long enough to makes friends or even find a steady job. What about you?"
"I've been in Seattle for a few years, about a year ago I met Logan. And about you not being able to make friends" she sent Zack a glare "you'll just have to meet some of mine, we can out to Crash some night and you can meet the Jam Pony crew."
Jondy smiled at her baby sister, "sounds great Max. But now I want to hear more about how you hooked up with Mr. Eyes Only here."
Logan blushed slightly but tried to ignore it and keep eating his food.
"Well" she looked at Logan "I was delivering a package to a building across the street and I spotted a very expensive statue of the Egyptian goddess Bast, figured I could fence it for a few thou. But he caught me. Pointed a gun on me too, and I jumped out the winder, bringing up some suspicions on my normality and he found me out."
"How romantic" Jondy teased.
"Oh I know"
Zack was pushing his food around his place aimlessly through Max's entire little explanation on her and Logan.
"Zack, what's with you? Since when does an x5 not eat?"
"I'm just not hungry."
"Oh c'mon Zack you know that's not it."
"Its because he doesn't like me staying in Seattle, he thinks it too dangerous. Tactical Exposure, Phony sentimentality. Blah Blah Woof Woof!" Max broke in.
"I think its something else?"
"Jondy, your too paranoid." Zack spoke again.
"Whatever Zack, I'll figure out what it is, just wait."
A/N: So guys, what did you think? I hope you like it, it should get more interesting that is if you want me to write more, review and tell me! Love Y'all. Bye -Lexa
Lost and Found. Sequel to Beautiful British Columbia
This takes place about a month after BBC they took down the Firefly and Gail Berman is going to be in jail for a long time (YAY) anyway hope you all like this as much as you liked BBC... BTW Kendra is in this version even though where this takes place in the show Kendra was pretty much history and there is no Walter, we don't like him. Ew.

Zack looked at Max "but how do you know she's there?"

"She wont stay away from them, its only you that thinks having a life is a weakness!"
"Fine, we still have to warn her about Lydecker though, so it looks like I'm gonna be going down to Portland."
"I'm coming with you"

Logan had made them one of his spur of the minute culinary miracles and the 4 of them were sitting down to a quiet dinner.
"So Jondy, I haven't seen you in too long, what have you been up to?" Max brought up a casual conversation.
"Not much actually, thanks to Zack" she sent him a glare "I've had to move around a lot and haven't really stayed in place long enough to makes friends or even find a steady job. What about you?"
"I've been in Seattle for a few years, about a year ago I met Logan. And about you not being able to make friends" she sent Zack a glare "you'll just have to meet some of mine, we can out to Crash some night and you can meet the Jam Pony crew."
Jondy smiled at her baby sister, "sounds great Max. But now I want to hear more about how you hooked up with Mr. Eyes Only here."
Logan blushed slightly but tried to ignore it and keep eating his food.
"Well" she looked at Logan "I was delivering a package to a building across the street and I spotted a very expensive statue of the Egyptian goddess Bast, figured I could fence it for a few thou. But he caught me. Pointed a gun on me too, and I jumped out the winder, bringing up some suspicions on my normality and he found me out."
"How romantic" Jondy teased.
"Oh I know"
Zack was pushing his food around his place aimlessly through Max's entire little explanation on her and Logan.
"Zack, what's with you? Since when does an x5 not eat?"
"I'm just not hungry."
"Oh c'mon Zack you know that's not it."
"Its because he doesn't like me staying in Seattle, he thinks it too dangerous. Tactical Exposure, Phony sentimentality. Blah Blah Woof Woof!" Max broke in.
"I think its something else?"
"Jondy, your too paranoid." Zack spoke again.
"Whatever Zack, I'll figure out what it is, just wait."
