-Lexa
Max returned to her and Logan's room shortly after he had given up looking for her. She was an X5 and all and if they didn't want to be found it wasn't hard for them to do so.
"Hey Logan"
"Hey Baby, did you have fun?"
"Yeah, Tinga and I had some good bonding. But we also realized that we HAVE to get out of dodge and NOW!"
"Yeah I was just thinking the same thing. You let everyone know, we can get out my this afternoon, make our way to Seattle until they figure out where they are going to go."
"Sure, be right back"
"Hey Max, wait"
"Yeah" She turned around from her position about a foot from their door.
"I spoke to Charlie"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah"
"You think they're going to make it?"
"I think they're going to be just fine"
"Great" Max smiled and walked over to Logan kissing him quickly before disappearing out their door and down the hall.
She came back not much later and greeted Logan.
"Everyone will be ready by one"
"Great so that gives us what?-" he looked down at his watch "about an hour and a half. Should be easy"
"Yeah, lets start getting our stuff packed then we can ourselves some Lunch or something."
"Sounds good to me."
"Great"
They packed up all their stuff by 12 and went out to a close restaurant for a romantic little lunch between just the two of them and they were back by 1 and everyone was ready to go.
Everyone was piled into Logan's car and considering they had: Tinga, Charlie, Case, Brin, Zack, Max and Logan they were not all that comfortable but they were getting away from Lydecker and that made all of them feel much better.
It only took them a few hours until they passed the first sector checkpoint into Seattle, they had some trouble at the checkpoint but luckily Logan brought some cash with him and they just paid off the Cops. They made it to Logan's apartment with little or no major problems, everyone was set up in their individual places, Charlie, Tinga, and Case took the first guest bedroom, and Brin took the second while Zack had set up on the couch. Logan was in the process of making them all a wonderful dinner.
About a half of an hour later they were all sitting down to dinner, Max sitting beside Logan, Charlie beside Tinga, Case beside them and Brin and Zack were sitting together. Logan had made them a roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and everyone was definitely enjoying their dinner because everyone was completely silent.
After they had finished dinner, Tinga had put Case down to sleep and everyone else had retired to the living room to talk, Max and Logan were snuggled together in a chair in the corner and everyone else was scattered around the room. Max decided to start up a conversation by asking Brin:
"So Brin, how did you convince them you weren't turned?"
"It wasn't that hard, Lydecker seemed to have an odd amount of trust in me, he was sure I would be turned quickly, so I just pretended that I thought that everything they did was right and what we did when we escaped was wrong. Man, were they ever obsessed with making me think we were all traitors to the operation. It was actually kind of amusing."
Max smiled at her sister.
"How you could think that was amusing I'll never know but I'm just glad you're ok and not working for the enemy."
"Me too Maxie"
"So-" Tinga spoke up "how are we going to get out of the country and when. Don't take this personally Max but I really want to get out of the US and get my boys safe" Tinga smiled at Charlie.
"Of course, well Logan, how are we getting them out and when?" Max turned to Logan.
"I can get you a new identity tomorrow and you can be at the border by tomorrow night. Sound good?"
"Thank you Logan it sounds great"
Max turned to Zack "Zack when are you leaving?"
"I'll try to get out tomorrow, tactical exposure and all"
"Of course" Max turned to Brin "Brin?"
"I was thinking maybe I could stay here, get a job, an apartment"
Max got excited "Brin that would be great! Having one of my sisters living right here in Seattle! Of course Zack would not approve would ya big bro?"
"Of course not but that doesn't mean I can stop here"
Brin spoke "So true big bro, so true"
Max laughed "so you'll stay?"
"Yeah Maxie, I'll stay"
Max smiled and snuggled more into Logan.
Logan was up bright and early the next morning to get Tinga and Charlie new passports and identities. But he was done by about 10 am, and now Tinga was Jamie Chastity and Charlie was John Chastity, Case was lucky enough to get to keep his name. And by 11 am they had had a wonderful breakfast and were on their way in their new car (a Ford Explorer) to the border of US and Canada, to move into their new residence in Edmonton, Alberta.
"At least I got to visit with my sister a little bit" Max sounded depressed,
"Yeah but this time you can contact her any time you want, they left Charlie's cell number" Logan smiled and hugged Max.
"You're right, this is much better, yet still safe"
"Yeah, and now you get to help Brin find an apartment to move in to. But I was thinkin'. Maybe you could move in with me and Brin could take your apartment with Cindy, what do you think"
Max turned to look Logan in the eyes "Are you serious?"
"I was but now I'm not so sure"
"Of course Logan, I would love too"
Logan breathed a sigh of relief "Good, we can move you in this weekend, if that's ok with you?"
"Sounds great to me, I can't wait now."
Max leaned in and kissed Logan lightly on the lips.
"I'm going to go talk to Brin and Cindy about this, they're hanging out at Crash, you want to come?"
"I would but I think I'm going to stay here and work on some Eyes Only stuff, I've been kind of slacking off lately"
"Of course, see you later"
"Bye, I love you"
"Love you too"
Max was at Crash within minutes, after racing down the streets on her Ninja she felt free and invigorated.
She immediately found Brin and Cindy though it wasn't hard the way Cindy partied when she was at Crash.
"Hey girls, can I talk ta ya 'bout somethin' for a sec?"
"Sure boo"
They made their way over to a table in the corner.
"Alright, here's the deal. Logan asked me to move in with him and since Brin has decided to find an apartment in Seattle and I didn't want to leave Cindy high 'n Dry I figure you guys could live together, that cool?"
"That's cool, sounds fun" both Cindy and Brin said.
"Great, how's this weekend"
"Good for me" Cindy said first.
"Me too" Brin finished.
"Awesome, now lets get out drink on!"
They weaved their way to the bar with ease, each ordering a beer.
The girls had been at Crash for a few hours now and had had MANY beers, though Cindy was a little bit out of it, Brin and Max were for the most part fine because of their hyped up DNA made it harder for them to get drunk. They were playing pool vigorously when Logan walked through the door and Max spotted him immediately. Waving him over to where they were he joined him and got himself a beer.
"Thought you had some EO to work on?"
"I did, but I was just too bored, and I figured I would join you. That's cool right?" Logan used Max's slang.
"'Course it is, you my man!" Max laughed as Logan gave her an odd look.
Cindy and Brin had just finished a game of pool and they came to the table for more beer. Max and Logan moved over to the pool table to start themselves a game.
"What are we playin' for?" Logan asked.
"Hmmm. How about we play for dinner tonight? Winner makes, or in my case, buys"
"Sounds good to me"
"Good, lets go"
They had only been playing for about 20 minutes when Max and Logan arrived back to the table with Cindy and Brin.
"You guys get bored of playin'?"
"No" Max gave Logan a look "he just beat me already"
"Hey" Logan defended himself "its not like you lose anything, I'm making you dinner tonight"
"Yes but my pride is so wounded"
"Awww" he walked up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist a gently put his head on her shoulder "poor baby" she turned her head and placed a light kiss on his lips, which turned into something more heated but before it could go any farther Cindy broke them up.
"I don't wanna see that" she separated them. Brin laughed at Max and Logan's red faces.
Max walked into now her and Logan's apartment holding a big box and yelling:
"Logan, where should I put this box?"
"Anywhere Max" he walked into the hallway where she was standing "This is your apartment too now, you can put it anywhere you want"
"Oh yeah, still getting used to it" Max smiled.
"Well you better get used to it, because I don't want to keep telling you to do what you want in here" Logan laughed.
"Of course" Max smiled wider.
"That the last one?" Logan asked about the new box Max was now holding in her hand after returning after a few times with different boxes from her old apartment.
"Yup" she carried the box to the living room and set it down lightly on the floor.
"Brin getting settled in?" Logan walked up behind Max.
"Yeah, I really think her and Cindy are going to have a blast living together, plus, now that she got a job down at Jam Pony, I'm going to see her all the time, its going to be great"
"I'm glad you're so happy"
"Oh I am" Max leaned into Logan and kissed him, bringing her hands up to grip her neck while he brought his hands down around her waist.
Max walked into Jam Pony the next day and made her way over to her locker where Cindy and Brin were sitting and talking, when Max got there they immediately brought their attention to her and Cindy asked:
"So how's life on the other side of the train tracks?"
"Same as always only, now my roommates a lot hotter" Max joked.
"Oh yeah I'm sure, ain't no male hotter than Original Cindy"
"Sure there is" Cindy gave her an angry look.
"Just kiddin' boo" Max wrapped one arm around Cindy's shoulders and one around Brin's and she sunk down between them.
"2 of my sistahs, all in one place. Could life get any better?"
Max returned to her and Logan's room shortly after he had given up looking for her. She was an X5 and all and if they didn't want to be found it wasn't hard for them to do so.
"Hey Logan"
"Hey Baby, did you have fun?"
