Logan was busy typing away at the computer to notice someone enter. He hadn't heard from Max since he drove her and Alec to the meeting with Clemente. Alec, he knew trouble was coming as soon as he first met him. Every time he saw Alec with Max they get closer and it hurt him inside. He couldn't give up on this now, he loved Max and nothing could change that.

"Yo Logan we need to Chat!" The young African American women let her presents be known.

"Cindy nice to see you!" Logan greeted cheerfully. He was unaware of what it was that she came for.

"Don't 'Cindy nice to see you' me! You kept a secret from my boo and I want to know why!" She said upfront. Original Cindy always thought of Logan as the sweet polite type that would be totally loyal. When she found out about Seth it stunned her and changed her whole point of view.

"What secret what are you talking about?" Logan asked completely clueless on what was going on.

"Seth is what I'm talking about! Why haven't you ever told her? She had to find out in a wack journal entry. Original Cindy doesn't like her friends going out with liars and I sure as hell won't let you get away with this!"

Logan was star struck. Seth? Logan remember the tall transgenic that he met before meeting Max. How could he have been so stupid to leave a journal back at the penthouse? "Cindy I-"

But she interrupted him. "Logan listen up straight right now! Why did you do it?"

"I didn't tell her-" But he was interrupted again.

"Not why you didn't tell her fool! Why did do the same thing with Max that you did with Seth. You used them for your own good and you sure as hell didn't do a good job in coming out for Seth. What if that same thing happened to Max on one of the crazy Eyes Only missions you send her on?" Logan was silent. He had never though of that. But he had tried to make sure the same thing didn't happen. He tried to send Max on missions that Manticore won't care about.

"Cindy, I-I tried to make it different," Logan stuttered. "When ever Max tried to go and save her family from Manticore I tried to stop her!"

"Damn fool. That doesn't matter. When she goes to try and save her family that's something in her heart that she has to do. But sending her out on Missions she never had to do that. She only did it because you offered information on her siblings and their whereabouts. Even then you didn't supply everything you knew because you left Seth out! And she trusted you!" Cindy argued.

Logan paused for a moment. He never really thought about it. Whenever something about Seth popped up in his head he just push it back and tried to forget. Forget everything like how he used him for his own selfish dreams. Not thinking about Seth kept Logan from realizing he was doing it again. He was using a transgenic for his own dirty work, putting her in danger just like Seth. The only difference is he fell in love with this X5 and he would do anything for her just like she would him. He had already lost her once when she and a few of her siblings went to blow up the DNA lab.

"I'm sorry," was all Logan had to say.

"Logan I know you didn't want to hurt Max with this information. But Original Cindy ain't the one you should be apologizing to! And you might need more then an apology to make my boo trust you again!" And with that Cindy got up to leave but before leaving o let Eyes Only think things though she said.

"Good Luck! Cuz shugga your gonna need it!"
