As the delicious food that Logan had whipped up from what had
seemed to be some hreen and ornage things along with some meat
sunk down, the phone suddenly rang. But it weas the white corded
phone which LLogan almost only used for Eyes Only. "Excuse me"
he said and Max did, since it wasn't exactly every now and then
he got calls on that particular phone. As Max heard he started a
conversation, she eaves dropped a bit to hear what he say. "...i
belive that Eyes only has contacts there, yes...." As this
seemed to be important Max tuned in even more. "...for the
purpose of what? why would you want to meet this person?" As she
understood that this actually was important she knew that it was
propably alright for her to listent o what they talked about.
"...and you positive about it? I'll inform Eyes Only, he'll
contact you...thanks..." Logan hung up the phone and Max kept
looking at him. He seemed just to stand there, like he was
thinking over the information just given to him. But as Logan
didn't turn around for a while she got worried. She took a large
zip of her drink and thehn asked Logan what the call had been
about. and he turned around, ever so slow and the look he had in
his eyes could not be mistaken. it was the same spark of hope
that she had seen in her dream...
"I-It was a doctow whom I've been trying to reach for a long time.You see, he stopped working at Manticore about three weeks after your recent escape and he knows about you and the other X5's. He also knows about the virus you have in your cells. he knew that Eye sOnly had contact with some X5's and he wants to meet you." Max whom was startled bu the information, although she remained cool on the outside, just took it in fast and then asked Logan: "Why would he want to meet me It could be a trap..." Logan shook his head. "Apperantly he's feeling guilty as heel right now and kinda wants to make it up for those whom he can. That's why he contacted Eyes Only." Max sighed, it was the same melody for the former Manticore doc's as usual. "Is that so? Almost every doctor that quits from Manticore feels guilty and say they wanna make it up. My ass- for all we know he could be another backstabber." Logan nodded since he actually agreed with Max but he held more information than this as well- there was more to this deal than it seemed. Something he knew that Max wanted as much as himself...
"No, Max hear me out. I'll arrange a meeting with him and you can check his place before we meet him. If there'll be any signs of suspicious Manticcore activity you'll notice it. Otherwise we know we can trust him atleast for the moment or we'll just be forced to keep an eye on him." Max nodded to this, Logans idea seemed reasonableand it was w/oth a shot. But she still wanted to know why Logan so desperetly wanted for her to meet this doctor, and why Logan wanted to meet him as well. She figured the best thing would be to ask. "But why would you meet him? What's he got that you want?" Logan smiled that special smile of his that indicated that something good was to come but Max almost couldn't take his silence.
"Max...he thinks he has a cure for the virus in your cells. Actually, he's positive..." Max was overwhelmed as she felt a rush of happiness wash all over her and she couldn't help but smiling, meeting Logans'. "If he really has a cure...that means....we would...." Max couldn't make out something decent but Logan understood perfectly as if she had been reading out of a newspaper. Because this was front page news! this meant more than anything to her and she had a hard time hiding her excitement for it/ but as Logan felt the same he didn't mind. "When are you gonna meet him?" she asked, sounding a bit more desperate than she inteded to; she was as enthustiac about this as a child over a new toy.And Logan really enjoyed seeing her that way too. "I can make arrangements for about 5 pm. That's in two hours..." Max smiled at him as he walked over to the phone and made the call to the dcotor whom they were about to meet, the doctor that could very weel change their lives...but as Max thought about all it could mean she popped into a question that made her unsure and afraid/ what if it wouldn't work? They would get worked up about nothing and propably go through the same pain once more. And she din not want to go through that pain once more, once had been more than enough...
As Logan finsihed his call he saw that Max was sitting and staring of into space, looking sad. But how could she be sad when he ha djust given her splendid news? "Max...are you allright?" Max was touched by the concern in his voice and she had to tell him what she was thinking about, although it porpably had crossed his mind as well.
"If this thing, this supposed cure, doesn't work then we'll be back right here again. With the same pain, and quite honestly I don't know if I can take it once more..." Logan understood what she meant, although it hadn't crossed his mind during all the excitement it had been in. "But then, atleast we've tried. And he says it will work....we're supposed to meet him 5 pm on this adress." Logan handed her a note, carefull enough not to touch her. But he smiled to himself as he thought that in a co'uple pf days they might even be touching skin to skin again. and that thought was indeed overwhelming and it made him excited once again. he smiled at Max with a sparkle in his eyes: "Up for some dessert?"
