"Hey Maxie," Alec called over to her from inside the space needle. "You in the mood for some company?"
"I guess," Max answer simply not really paying much attention to the person behind her.
Alec walked steadily over to were Max was sitting watching his step for if he made one wrong step he could slip and fall onto his death bed. "What's wrong Max? You don't seem you usual self-lately."
"It's Logan," that did it. Alec didn't really care much anymore but for the sake of what he and Max had why not stick around and help.
"So what troubles do the famous Eyes have now? In need of more equipment?" Alec asked trying his best to sound sincere. But she noticed. "If you don't want to hear it don't ask!"
"Sorry," Alec immediately responded. "I do care Max believe me. It's just you always have some problem with him and never really look around you at what bigger problems you have. The whole thing with Logan might be clouding your judgment!"
"I so agree,"
Well he didn't see that coming.
"You what?" Alec asked confused. He thought she loved Logan, now she's agreeing with him on leaving him alone? Didn't she say she loved him a little over 24 hours ago?
"Logan's keeping something from me and I know it, I'm going to find out and once I find out what it is I won't be able to concentrate on anything else. So I need to do it now!" Max answer walking back inside the space needle. Alec was still confused who was she and what did she do with the Logan obsessed Maxie he knew and loved?
Realizing he was out on the space needle alone Alec ran for the stairs to stop her. "Maxie what are you doing? You know Logan would be home right now; hell he's got nothing else to do. You really think you could talk the shit out of him because I sure as hell know you won't lay a finger on him considering the virus!"
"I know that's why I'm not going to his apartment, I'm going to the pent house!" max answered grinning. As she tried to walk by him Alec quickly grabbed hold of her arm. "What if the breeding cult is watching the place huh? What if you get yourself killed just to react on a gut instinct, something you're not even sure of!"
Max looked him straight in the eye. "No matter what you say you can't stop me!"
Alec lowered her head and did the same as Max. "I know that's why I'm coming too!"
"Fine," Max replied grinning as if she just won a million dollars.
"O.k then lets go," and the left the needle to head to the trashed pent house that had once been home to Eyes Only, the only free voice left in the city, the good guy of all good guys. or so they thought.
~@~@~
Walking down the hall of the abandoned building Max and Alec found them selves looking at a dump.
"Are you sure we're going to find anything? I mean look at this place, I doubt that they left anything behind that didn't belong to Logan," Alec asked walking into the door way and walking over the broken door in front. "They were looking for Eye Only Alec, I don't think they cared much of the information Logan had considering that most of the things thought he knew was already expressed on TV being told to all of Seattle," Max replied going through some papers with information, other then the bullet holes everything was left where it was before.
"Hey look at this," Alec called over to her. He was looking at the white board that was left with some writings about the breeding cult and Sandeman. Max looked at it but notice that something was missing. "Government Cover up and Ames White," Max mumbled under her breath.
"What?" Alec asked looking at her as if she had just come out of a mental hospital.
"That's what's missing, it said it right above breeding cult,"
"So White was erasing his name so no one would find out, so?"
"So Government cover up, maybe we were right. The senator might be in this like we thought," Max suggested turning away to try and find what she had came to find.
"Yeah well I guess you might be right considering," Alec said turning around to keep on looking. But he saw Max looking at a piece of paper like she was hypnotized. "Max?" Alec asked walking up beside her. "What is it?"
"A paper from his journal," Max replied. "It's from the same date that Seth died!"
"Seth?"
"One of my brothers that escaped from '09. He never really told me why he was there," Max replied, her eyes once again swelling up with tears. Before Alec had a chance to say anything Max dropped the paper and ran out.
Alec picked up the paper and looked at it. Shocked to have found out what Logan had done he ran after Max in her dilemma leaving behind the journal page that had once again fall on the ground.
It Read:
2019 Dear Journal, 10 days, it's been 10 days since I had last seen Seth. Maybe he double- crossed me. Taking the money and the one of the kind masterpiece, killed everyone, and then flew to Canada. Greed and fear getting the best of him. But yet only Sterling's body was found at the parking lot of the space needle. There was no sign of the Korean art dealer who was the leader of a street gang in LA. Supposedly the ones who had killed all of the members of the Chinese Clan. I wonder why his bodyguards weren't there either. Out of past experiences it seems that he isn't a very brave man and wouldn't go anywhere without them. So, why would Seth only leave Sterling's body if he actually did it? This is all making my head spin. There was no sign of Sterling's car. Seth could have taken it. Why would Sterling walk all that way? Sterling wouldn't just jump off, what's there to be upset about? He's a billionaire, unless he finally found the errors of his ways. This is too confusing, who really cared for having them all dead? I can't figure it out. but maybe it was a murder. Seth, maybe Manticore had finally caught up with him at the space needle. But how? I mean how would Manticore find out about Seth? Did I let him go on to many of my missions and his past finally caught up with him? That seems to be the only real thing I could think of. I mean who else could keep all this under raps other then Lydecker. The person Seth hated most. This is too disturbing, even for Eyes Only. Maybe this is how it went. Manticore had caught up with Seth but he didn't want to do peacefully so he was killed. Killed in front of witnesses who would have to be killed for seeing the murder of the X5. I used him. I used Seth for my own ruthless and ruthless reasons. No matter what my reason were, even though they were for good it had gotten Seth killed. I should have helped him disappear. For all I know right now he could have been planning an attack on Manticore. I hope I'm never put in this position again. I let a man die 10 nights ago one that I have a feeling I will really regret in the future! Eyes Only. the only free voice left in the city. Peace Out!
