Max awoke and opened her eyes. //What the hell? Where's Logan?//
"Logan?" She called, wondering where he was.
Logan came walking into the bedroom and eyed Max lovingly. "How do you feel?" He asked quickly.
"Uh, I think I'm OK." Max stretched and got out of the bed. "Yeah I'm fine." She paused, thinking. "But that was one whack bug alright."
"I know." Logan sighed. "Sam Carr thinks that someone might be circulating a bug targeted to Manticore genetics."
"Why?" Max asked "And why am I not still sick then?"
Logan grinned at her "Max, you know that you're not the same as all the manticore soldiers." Logan was referring to the findings of Sebastian's latest DNA test on Max. She was certainly genetically different than the other Manticorians.
"Yeah I guess." Max sighed. "But what about the others?"
"I don't know." Logan paused. "But I think I'll go see Tym and see if he knows anything."

In the last year since Elinor had been kidnapped, Tym had established himself as Eyes Only's number 1 informant. He worked closely with Logan, and they had solved many crimes (With the help of Max and Elinor of course.).
So Tym wasn't at all suprised when Logan showed up at his door.
"Logan, come in" He smiled at the older man, and stepped out of his way as he entered the apartment.
"Hey Tym, how's it going?"
"Oh good, you know." He paused. "How's Max?"
"Actually," Logan sighed. "Max was really sick last night, so I took her to the doctor."
"And?" Tym prompted him.
"Apparently someone is trying to spread a bug to kill off transgenics."
"Oh my god, is Max OK?"
"She's fine. You know, with all that special DNA she has."
Tym grinned. "Good. Hey, why don't we sit down and try to find some information on this bug?"
"OK."

The next day

"So anyway, I'm now wondering what I can do. I mean, Max is a really good friend, and I don't want her siblings to be hurt or killed. It's just so sad. It's almost as sad as when Buffy has to kill Angel after he gets his soul restored -"
"Elinor, back on topic please." Alison prompted her. They were sitting around in the leaver's room at their school. It was lunch time, so of course, the big topics were being discussed.
"Right." Elinor took a deep breath. "So I'm thinking that I should try to help, but I don't know if Tym wants me to help, and -"
"I'm sure he does." Rochelle piped up. "I mean, he loves you and all..." Rochelle trailed off, going back to grooming her pencil case.
"Right." Elinor sighed. "But I dunno. Oh well, I'll just go and help anyway." She stood up. "We've only got double tute this afternoon, so I'll go now." She said, walking off.
"Oh well." Alison sighed. "It's not like people not wanting you there has ever stopped you before." The group started laughing, but not meanly. Cos that would be mean.

"boom boom ain't it great to be craaaazy" Leah sang to herself under her breath. She was in a good mood. A friend had given her a contact that could help her get rid of Max, and then Logan would be all hers!
//Excellent// She thought to herself.
