Max was standing at the payphone and dialed Logan's number.
"Hello?" Logan, on the other side of the phone. He sounds tiered.
"Hey! It's me."
"Hey Max. What's up?"
"Nothing, just wanted to say sorry about last night." She said
"What do you mean, you didn't do anything."
"I asked you to come to Crash and when you got there I left."
"You had to take care of OC, I understand." He replied
"Yeah, but I could've come back after I got her home safely."
"Yeah, maybe, but that's okay, that you didn't come back. I actually had fun with Alec, Sketchy and Iris."
"Oh, well good, I didn't want you to get bored!"
They laughed
"So eh, did you find out anything about. you know." She asked
"About who?" he asked
"You know, the one we talked about over the phone, when you were still at Crash last night?"
"Oh, why didn't you just say her name? Or is she standing there?" he asked
"Yeah, she's standing a couple of feet away from me, she's busy talking to the guys."
"Well, to be honest, I haven't looked yet. I kinda left late from Crash last night. I've been awake for about an hour, so I'll do it in a minute okay?"
"Oh, okay" she said, hoping he had actually done it yet
"Cause I'd like to have some breakfast first, ya know?" he said
"Yeah sure, I would too, if I were you."
"Come by later, in an hour or so. I should have found something by then."
"Okay, I'll see you in an hour. Bye"
"See ya Max"
They both hung up. Logan went to the kitchen to get himself some breakfast.
Max walked back over to the guys, they were still making fun of OC's performance at Crash last night. They were still laughing when Max joined them.
"Okay, very funny. You all can stop now! It's bad enough that I actually did all that, you don't have to reconstruct the whole evening!" OC yelled at them
Now Max started to laugh as well, remembering how OC was yelling at everyone the other night.
"No Max, not you too!" OC wasn't laughing at all, she laughed before but it just wasn't funny anymore, not to her. "Y'all stop it right now! Or I'll put the smack down on all y'all!"
Everyone started laughing even harder, just because she used the phrase 'smack down'
"Yeah, okay, my bad! I shouldn't have used that phrase." She said
They were still laughing, they couldn't stop. Iris was laughing so hard, she couldn't stand strait and started to sway, she leaned against Alec so she wouldn't fall. Alec didn't notice her do that cause he was to busy laughing. OC kept yelling at them to make them stop, but it didn't help. Every time she yelled they laughed. Max couldn't stop, tears were coming out of her eyes because of all the laughing. Suddenly she sat on the ground, she couldn't stand up anymore, and if she did she would fall back on the ground.
"Oh my god, can't you people do anything else but laugh? It is so not funny anymore!" OC yelled
The laughter wouldn't stop.
"Whatever, y'all are crazy! I'm out a here!" she took her bike, grabbed a few packages, put them in her bag and left.
Normal heard all the laughter, which didn't stop even though OC had left the building.
"Hey! What's all that about! This isn't some funhouse! Get back to work! Bip, bip bip!" Normal turned around to grab a few packages.
The laughter wasn't so loud anymore, but it hadn't completely stopped either. Max got up of the ground and walked to her locker, still laughing. Alec pushed Iris of off him, gently, and also walked to his locker. The crowd that was laughing just a minute ago, had separated. Everyone got back to work.
After delivering a few packages Max drove to Logan's place, an hour has passed.
Max entered Logan's apartment, she couldn't see him. Logan was busy checking things on his computer.
"Logan? You home?" Max yelled
"Yeah, I'm over here!" he yelled back.
"Oh, hey!"
"Hey, What's up?" he asked
"Ehm, I was wondering if you found out anything about Iris"
"Nope, nothing" he replied
"What? Nothing?"
"Yep, nothing, it's not like there's a site, you know. www.manticore.com or something like that. It's not like they display all that info on the net. I mean, I can do a lot, but I can't do everything." He replied
"So..Nothing."
"Yep, nothing! Zip, zero zilch, nada absolutely nothing!"
"Oh.so what's with you, are you okay? Cos you're kinda acting strange, not like you." she said
"Well Max."he took a step towards her, she took a step back "there you have it!"
"Have what?" she asked
"Every time I try to get close, you pull away."
"The virus."
"No, it's not just the virus, we can't even have a normal conversation without you changing the subject when it comes to us." He said
"I'm sorry but I can't. I can't do this. I gotta go." She walked to the door, leaving him standing there.
"I really don't get you Max."
JAM PONY
Max drove in, put her bike away and went to her locker. OC came in a few minutes before she did. She saw Max and walked to her.
"Hey boo, everything okay?" OC asked
"I guess." Max shrugged
"Oh, that's sweet, you feel guilty about laughing at me this morning?"
Max smiled "No, not really. That was your fault 100 percent. I was just at Logan's, it didn't go so well. I don't really wanna talk about it." she slammed her locker shut and walked over to Normal to give him her clipboard. OC walked with her.
"Oh, I'm sorry boo, if you wanna talk later, you know where to find me." OC walked away, she figured that Max needed to be alone.
"Yes!" Alec just drove in, headed to Normal with a big grin on his face. "Here you go boss." He handed Normal his clipboard. "That's it for me, no more working overtime!"
"Yeah, you finally managed to pay for the bike huh?" said Iris, she was standing behind him
"Yeah, wait how did you know about the bike, I never told you about it." he said
"I asked around, kinda stupid actually, ruining that bike I mean. The bike costs more than you won."
"I know, that wasn't the point, the point was to be right, I was so I won." He said
"And than you had to pay for the bike by working overtime."
"True, seen from that perspective, I guess in the end it wasn't such a good idea. Oh well, it's in the past now!"
"Yep, I guess so.you going to Crash tonight?" she asked
"No, I don't think so."
"Oh, I'll see you tomorrow then"
"Yeah, see ya"
Iris left and went home.
IRIS'S PLACE
She opened the door and walked in, she flipped on the light even though she could see just fine. There was a punching bag hanging in the right corner of the room. She took of the jacket and put her bag on the table. She walked towards the right corner of the room, a couple of feet away from the punching bag was cabinet with a drawer in it. She pulled it open and picked up two glove, put them on and started to punch the bag.
