A/N: I'm so glad all of you liked the first chapter, I really hope you like
this one. And to those I said could beta it, sorry I was planning on it but
I realize that its much easier to just post and screw the consequences so
I'm sorry about the false information but the chapters get posted faster
and more easily this way. So thanks for reading everyone and I hope you
enjoy this chapter. And I plan on having AT LEAST 8 pages of story before I
post. That's how many the 1st chapter was. Enjoy.
They had decided to all accompany Max and Zack to Portland so that they could warn Tinga of the danger she was in.
They had planned to leave that weekend, that way Max wouldn't have to beg Normal for a couple days off. Now it was Friday and Jondy and Zack were staying at Logan's placed seeing as he had a lot of space for them. Jondy stayed in the guestroom and Zack resided on the couch. Even though like Max, Jondy had some Shark DNA swimming around in her genetically enhanced body and Zack didn't but like he cared where he slept anyway.
Max was at her apartment packing up some things for the weekend.
"Cindy, I'm spending the night at Logan's with Zack and Jondy, we're going to be leaving for Portland early in the morning."
Max yelled to Cindy who was in the living room with Kendra.
"Max, why on earth don't you just move in with the man, you spend practically all your time there anyway."
"Because I like to have my own space"
"Whatever" They yelled back and forth to each other, Kendra still staying silent.
Max was finished packing and she walked into the living room,
"Ok Guys, I'm going. I'll see you in a couple days aiight?"
"Yeah Sure" They both answered.
Max rolled here eyes and walked her Ninja out the door.
She got to Logan's in a surprisingly short amount of time. She made her way up the elevator after parking her Ninja safely in the guarded garage of the Fogle towers. She let herself into the penthouse apartment, she still had no need for a key even though Logan had given her one.
"Hey Honey I'm home!"
She greeted playfully as she walked into the apartment looking for someone. Anyone. She found Logan as usual in his computer room, investigating something Eyes Only related. He greeted her by pulling her down into his lap and kissing her lightly on the lips.
"Well Hello to you too" She joked.
"Jondy is in the kitchen, and Zack went to Crash"
"Thanks"
"No Problem"
She got off of Logan's lap and made her way towards the kitchen where she found Jondy cooking something that smelled delicious.
"Hey big 'sis. Whatcha makin'?"
"I, am making Pasta Tricolore"
"Mmmm"
"I figure we can have a nice dinner before we go, plus Logan made up dinner yesterday so I figured I could tonight."
"Wow, My lack of cooking skills is definetly not genetic."
"I guess not"
Max and Jondy laughed together.
Just then the front door slammed open and a very drunk Zack stumbled in. Max and Jondy rushed over to him.
"Zack, how did you get so drunk? X5s are not supposed to get drunk very easily."
"I drank A LOT" he slurred out.
"Jondy, help me get him to the couch."
They both lifted up the heavy x5 and brought him to the living room just as Logan was coming out the kitchen, he met them in the hall.
"What happened to him?" Logan asked surprised.
"He drank a little too much" Jondy answered
"A little!" Logan exclaimed, "That looks a lot more than a little. He's practically passed out."
"Yeah and he's damn heavy, you wanna give us a hand?" Max yelled.
"Oh yeah sorry"
Logan helped them bring a now unconscious Zack into the living room and onto the couch.
Zack was now completely unconscious and was definetly not getting up anytime soon. So the others decided to make good on the dinner Jondy had made for all of them. They just hoped that by the morning Zack wouldn't have the most killer hangover because they still needed to find Tinga.
They were sitting around the dinner table when Logan started talking.
"Exactly how much would Zack have to drink to get that drunk?"
Max and Jondy laughed "A LOT"
"Well that's helpful."
"Your welcome"
Logan chuckled at the sisters who were so much a like.
* * * * *
They were on the road to Portland, Zack was still passed out and now in the back of Logan's Aztec, Jondy was sitting beside him waiting for him to wake up so she could hound him. Max and Logan were sitting in the front with Max snuggled up to Logan, which when Zack woke up would not make him very happy.
Only a few minutes later Zack slowly came to life. Slowly, painfully lifting his eyelids to look at his surroundings. The minute he was fully awake his hand went strait to his head. And he groaned, rubbing his forehead as if that would dull the pain.
"Where am I" he asked, groggily.
"We're on our way to Portland" Jondy answered.
"How did I get here? How long have I been out?"
"Whoa slow down there. First, we carried you here because you passed out the minute you got back to Logan's last night. Second, you've been out; like I already said, since you got back to Logan's last night."
Zack looked up the front seats, when he saw Max cuddled up to Logan his face fell. Zack fixed it quickly and didn't think that Jondy had noticed, but she did.
"Oo, I know what was bothering you the other night."
If looks could kill, well lets just say that Jondy would be dead.
"Shuttup"
"Fine, you're the one in denial."
Logan had kept himself quite while Jondy and Zack were talking since he already knew that the love Zack had towards Max was much more than brotherly. And Max hadn't heard any of this because she was in a deep sleep, which for Max was very out of the ordinary.
* * * * *
They arrived in Portland and since it was very late they decided it would be a good idea to get a secure nights lodgings before they went after Tinga the next morning.
They found a small motel in the outskirts, so as to not attract an unwanted amount of attention.
Much to Zack's chagrin they only got 3 rooms, one for himself, one for Jondy and one for Max and Logan.
* * * * * (I'm going to have the shippiness start here)
The next morning Max woke up feeling quite refreshed, though it was unusual that she had slept then entire night, seeing as she usually only slept a couple of hours let alone when she sleeps for hours in the car aswell.
She was nestled in Logan's strong arms who was fast asleep behind her. She snuggled back into his embrace.
Only about an hour later there was a knock on their door, Max got up silently as to not wake Logan, she answered the door only to find Jondy on the other end.
"Hey what's up?" Max asked
"I just thought we should probably get some supplies and since you and I have some Shark DNA swimming around in us we would be the best to do it in the morning, you up to it?"
"Yeah sure just let me get dressed."
Jondy waited outside Max and Logan's door only for a couple minutes before Max walked out of it wearing black pants that had a short slit up the legs, and navy blue quarter length sleeved shirt with white lines embroidered onto it. She also had heeled boots and a backwards red baseball hat.
"Let's bounce."
Max and Jondy were walking through the aisles of a local grocery store.
"So Max, what is it with you and Zack?"
"What are you talking about? He's my brother!"
"You think of it that way but does he?"
"What are you talking about?"
"He likes you!"
"Of course he does he's my brother."
"No I mean more than just a brother"
"You're being paranoid."
"I don't think I am"
"Well, how did you come up with this conclusion?"
"When I saw how he looked at you. And how he looked when he saw you and Logan all snuggly snuggly in the car."
"No way, I can't believe this. He's my brother!"
"Oh c'mon Max, havent you ever noticed?"
"No, Logan said something to me once, but I didn't believe him."
"Well you need to believe him now."
"Right. Oh god this is going to change everything!"
"It doesn't have to. Just pretend that you have no idea he likes you and hopefully he'll accept that you want to be with Logan and now with him."
"Ok"
"And hopefully make him think of you as only a sister."
"Yeah that would be good"
"Its gonna be alright Baby Sister."
Jondy put an arm around her sister's shoulders as they walked up to the cash.
* * * * *
Logan woke up to find the other side of his bed cold and empty. He got up to find Max. He found a note she had left him on the bedside table.
Logan, Jondy and I went out to get some supplies, back soon.
Love you -Max
He smiled and went to have a shower.
Max returned back to the hotel room not much later, Jondy had dropped herself off at her room while Max went to find Logan. He was just getting out of the shower when she came into the room.
"Hey Baby"
"Hey Loggie"
"DO you really need to call me that?"
"Yes I think I do"
"Fine, but only cause its cute when you say it."
"Isn't it cute when I say anything?"
"Of course it is Max"
"Good"
"I'm gonna go take a shower and then we kind catch up to the others and go out and find Tinga."
"Alright but let me make you breakfast first I'll make it while you're in the shower."
"Can't argue with that."
Max walked off into the shower and Logan went to the little kitchen they had in the room. He started making her French toast, he picked up the milk and was about to open it when something caught his eye. His eyes widened considerably and he immediately called out.
"Max, I think you should come see this."
Seeing as Max was very fast at taking showers she was already done and was just about to get dressed, she ran out of the bathroom in only a towel and went to Logan.
He saw her and his mouth went dry, he ignored it and proceeded to show her what he had seen.
He picked up the milk carton again and showed it to Max, on the side clearly visible were the words.
HAVE YOU SEEN MY MOMMY?
Under it was a clear picture of Tinga. With the information:
MISSING: Penny Smith Age 22 Missing since Feb 25/2020
It also had Tinga's address and her phone number.
"Oh my god, its Tinga"
"That's what I thought"
"We have to go find Zack and Jondy, get to Tinga as soon as possible, or at least her son."
"Yeah"
Max ran into the other room and got dressed quickly, when she was finished her and Logan rushed out the door of the hotel to find Zack and Jondy.
They found them without much problem, they were both in their own rooms. They all piled into the Aztek and made their way to the address that was listed on the milk carton.
Max decided it might be a better idea to call the phone number and find out if Tinga was actually there before barging in on her unsuspecting spouse and offspring (A/N: I know that most likely if they found that ad that Tinga wouldn't be home with her family but it is a possibilty that the ad was old or just hadnt been taken off the print yet so don't flame me for my actions). They obviously didn't know her secret or they wouldn't have made that ad in the first place.
She dialed the number on Logan's cell phone and waited for the person on the other end to pick up.
"Hello" a male voice embodied the other end of the line.
"Hi, I know this is an odd question but have you found your wife yet?"
"No we haven't do you have any information on her whereabouts?"
"No I'm sorry , but I am a friend of hers and I need to tell you, you have to stop looking for her. She's in danger, there are people looking for her, bad people and you putting you address and phone number out there is just asking for them to find you and hurt you or your son."
"Is this some kind of sick joke?"
"No please listen to me I'm telling the truth."
"No, please don't call here ever again."
With that the man on the other end hung up on Max abruptly.
Logan turned to her "I'm guessing that didn't go well?"
"No it really didn't"
Zack spoke up from the back.
"We'll come back later tonight and take a look at her husband and child from one of the surrounding buildings. Check out what we're dealing with, how much Lydecker knows about them."
"Sure"
* * * * *
That night before they had planned to stake out Tinga's place they went out to have some fun. They found a bar that wasn't that far from Tinga's or the hotel which was perfect, it wasn't as good as Crash but it was something. Jondy and Zack were playing pool at a table close to their little table. Max and Logan were sitting together, Max in Logan's arms leaning against his chest. Logan was playing with Max's hair.
Zack was trying to ignore the exchange going on between Max and Logan. Concentrating an unhealthy amount on the pool game he was already loosing. Jondy stifled a laugh at Zack's reaction to Max and Logan. 'God that guy is whipped' she thought.
Zack and Jondy returned to the table after Jondy had whipped Zack. Very badly.
"So guys who one?" Max asked
"Jondy, by a lot"
Jondy laughed. "Not that much"
"Oh c'mon, I lost BAD"
"Fine, you did lose pretty bad."
Max and Logan laughed together.
"I'm gonna get us another pitcher of beer."
Zack walked off towards the bar to get another pitcher.
"So did you think of what I said?"
Logan looked puzzled at what Jondy had asked Max.
"Thought about what?"
Max turned to look Logan straight in the eye.
"Thought about how Zack likes me more than just a sister."
"I told you that such a long time ago"
"Yes I know that but Jondy just pointed it out to me with proof."
"Ok, but what is there to think about?" Logan was getting somewhat insecure.
"Oh, c'mon Logan you have nothing to worry about I'm not even considering going with Zack, he's my brother I just need to decide how I'm going to confront him about his feelings for me."
"Ok good. I love you"
Max laughed lightly.
"I love you too"
