"Kay, we're here." Tommy said quietly, slowly pulling up onto the curve opposite an old, rundown apartment block.
Kevin grinned with excitement, looking around at all the cars and bikes and bums.
"There isn't a tree in sight!" he announced in awe.
"Nope, we passed the last one bout 20 minutes ago." Tommy agreed, slouching back in his seat and staring over to the building, taking in how many windows were opened and in which order, incase a quick escape was needed.
He didn't think Max was going to betray him, she never would, they were family. But it could be a trap and Tommy always liked to have a plan b, c, d and sometimes even e.
"26 open, only 20 have fire escapes, there are 30 people loitering outside, but non have the stance of military." Kevin said, noting the look of observation on his dad's face.
Tommy grinned. "Hadn't gotten to the people yet." He laughed.
They quickly hopped out of the car and headed toward the building. They didn't even have a chance to enter though because Max was quickly striding out, headed straight pass them.
If Tommy hadn't seen her photo, he would have missed her completely and probably gone back to his old life. But he did notice her, and he quickly snaked an arm around her waist to stop her. He was then, just as quickly, thrown to the ground and told to 'get a life and his own piece of ass cause hers was off limits."
Kevin laughed quietly and sat down on the sidewalk, getting comfortable in case this took a while.
Tommy stayed on the ground, looking curiously up at her.
"You haven't changed a bit, Max the Rat!" He laughed.
Max's eyes almost popped out of her head at the sound of the awful nickname her brother Tommy had given her when she was little because he had thought she ate like a rat.
"Tommy?" she asked in disbelief, bobbing down to sit on her heels in front of him.
Tommy laughed again. "The one and only.whatcha goin to do about it little sis?" he asked, and she burst into tears.
Suddenly Tommy sobered up, pulling her into a tight hug as he sat up. "Okay, I won't call you it again.sorry.awww Max, this is mean, I hate to see you cry, please, I promise not to call you it." He coaxed.
Then Kevin was there too, glaring furiously down at his dad. "You made her cry!" he said angrily.
Max hiccuped into his shirt and looked over to Kevin. "No.it's alright, really, it's just that since I escaped Manticore for the second time, I haven't seen any of my brothers or sisters except Zack, and I had make him go away so that he wouldn't remember me and kill Logan, and-" Max started crying all over again. "And now I think I'm gonna have a baby, but it can't be Logans cause of the virus, and I haven't slept with someone I like.ages, and I think Manticore did it-" realising that she was blabbering Max stopped and looked around her, thanking god that no-one other than Tommy and the little boy were watching her.
She quickly wiped her tears away and looked over to the little boy. "Who are you?" she asked quietly.
Kevin grinned impishly down at her. "I'm your nephew, Kevin."
Tommy smiled and helped Max to her feet, hugging her closely to his side, and walking toward her apartment building. "Looks like you've been in a lot of trouble without me around, tell me all about it over coffee or something." He ordered, smiling confusedly down at her.
