EPISODE 4: FROM BIKE TO SHOP

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN Dark Angel and cause FOX don't want it any more, no one does. However credit should be given to CAMERON and EGLEE for the Quality Television they gave us for Two Seasons and the DARK ANGEL Creative Team for shaping the characters which I and many other's accepted and loved as our very own. Thankyou so much for that and hopefully (if it is at all possible), we may be able to see Dark Angel again.

"Alec, you gotta give me those tickets for the Drags man cause I got this unique girl who's gonna go with me and I gotta come up with the goods!" Sketchy, having met Alec as he strolled into work in order to hound him put his hand on Alec shoulder and took hold of Alec's bike.

"I got the tickets and you owe me 30 large for those babies, cause I had to get up nice and early to pick up those and your buying tonight at Crash!" Alec took hold of his bike and started wheeled the bike to the bike stands and then headed over to his locker. What he didn't expect to see was Max at her locker with Jondy nice and early.

"Alec, I think the world may just be coming to an end cause Max has arrived early for work and she is going to do the first run of the day. I swear, when she walked in I almost had a seizure!" Normal greeted Alec, his favorite employee at the lockers and put a package on his lap. "And guess who has the second package, 55 Ukulele!"

"I take it you too are going clothes shopping cause, I lined up a guy to take you into some nice places down at South Market if you want!" Alec closed his locker as he already had a run and sat next to Jondy between the lockers.

"Tag along if you want, just remember to close your eyes when it's time to look for lingerie!" Max closed her locker and Max, Jondy and Alec headed out on their bikes and out of Jampony.

"So I'm guessing we're going factory outlet here!" Jondy asked totally unaware of where they were going to shop.

"Shopping for clothes is really different here. There are clothes shops and all with really fine clothes, but they are also accompanied by really nice price tags. You gotta steal to get something fine in this town, unless you have some good solid connections like me and my buddy Alec here!" Max pointed down a street and Jondy and Alec followed on their bikes.

"So Manticore has really rubbed of on you too. I bet you too pull of a heist every month!" Jondy joked, while peddling on a bike that she didn't own.

"Only when Max needs a new part for her motorcycle or money to pay of some new doctor she's hoping to cure her virus. Me on the other hand, I got bigger plans my friend. You see I'm a businessman and I'm in the business of supply and demand. I don't just steal I-"

"Shut up Alec!" Max interrupted Alec who was stating the reasons he steals.

"So this job is to case places!" Jondy asked Alec.

"Most of it, and for a sector pass. In fact, that's going to be a problem for little miss isn't it" Alec asked.

"Nah, she's hooked up. Logan got a copy of mine made last night and we took a picture so she can use that today!" Jondy pulled out the fake sector pass and Alec eyed the pass.

"Won't scan though!" Alec stated.

"They never scan, you know that!" Max answered back to Alec and then pointed at a factory! "Ain't that your drop?"

It was Alec's drop and Alec rode quickly over to the drop and Max and Jondy waited.

"Pretty easy job, but don't you wanna do something else?" Jondy asked Max eyeing the neighbourhood she was in which was damp and wet as it was an overcast day. All days in Seattle were overcast!

"There's a million things I'd rather do and can do but you can't in this economy, plus this is the job I do to hide. I've only been living in Seattle about 3 years, before this job I worked as a waiter in a dinner, car washer. I got it good, especially seeing I gotta do stuff to protect all our brothers and sisters all the time. I'm happy, I can bludge and I'm still getting a salary and a bit on the side. All I need." Jondy listened to Max and thought about what Max had gone through and realised why Max was happy with her life.

"True."

"Ready to go, and I noticed a nice Dolby system in that place. I can easily jack that on the way home!" Alec and Jondy pushed of and for the next 5 minutes of their travels, they didn't speak! Max dropped her package of and then they got to South Market finally and Alec led them to the guy who was going to help Jondy get some clothes!

"So we have leather jackets, leather pants, tops, you name it, Uncle Yodel's got it!" Alec pointed into the truck that was filled with clothes and Jondy eyed the labels. Jondy's eyes lit up when she saw a Collette Dinnigan dress going for 30 dollars! Jondy got her clothes and she changed into one of the outfits and payed for the clothes and left.

"Nice pick up Alec, I think we'll need to go on another one of your clothes hunts cause that guy had some serious merchandise!" Max was very impressed with the array of clothes Alec's connection had. Max herself had bought some new clothes including a new leather outfit and a new backpack.

"Now for shoes!" Jondy stated and Max smiled and Alec grimaced.

"Shoes are where I leave you. Cause I know that make-up and handbags are next.

Jondy giggled and Alec left.
