Summary: Max Genetically engineered killing machine, meets Logan Journalist and helps track down her bro Zack who introduces Max to Eva another genetically engineered human.
I spent the rest of the night riding, then I stopped for a while near this cliff, and took some time to actually think. I sat there over looking the city, the city that I had spent most of my adult life. And there was nothing there. All I had were my friends and my family, that's it. And I had not being getting on with my family recently and I haven't seen my friends in almost two months, let alone spoken to them. I had nothing. Nothing. What I thought was real wasn't, and my whole life was a lie, until that it, that blue eyed stranger came into my life and told me the truth, who I was and what I was. He knew, no one else even knew me, but he did, in a way he knew me better that I knew myself. But some how he didn't think I knew him well enough to tell me the truth about him and Eva. As a matter of fact I guess I didn't really know him, all I know is that he is a journalist and found out about Manticore and wanted to find out the truth about it. And that's how he found me. Apart from that all I know is that he is a red blooded, blonde hair, blue eyed all American boy, and that's bout it. In fact he hasn't really told me about him self, like where he's from or where his family is, or even what paper he works for. Weird, it just struck me that every time we have had a conversation and the topic turns to him, he somehow managed to turn it around and ask me the questions.
OK. Girl, Focus. Why does everything always turn back to him. Yes, I owed him my life, and he helped me out in more that one way, but what did he really want? Why did he hand around? Was it because of Eva? or something else?. I had all these unanswered questions and I wanted then answered, I looked at my watch and saw that it was 4am, I thought I better head back tomorrow was going to be a whole new day, with my questions being answered.
By the time I arrived at Logan's it was dawn and the first sign of light was up.
I walked into the apartment and looked around, no one was up yet. Good , now I can think more about how or rather what exactly I am going t6o ask Logan. There were so many things that I knew nothing about where was I going to start?. I walked into the kitchen and put the coffee machine on. I wasn't tired I just needed something in me to help me concentrate. I walked over and grabbed a mug from the cupboard and poured the coffee into it. I walked back into the lounge and sat down
" So, she finally decides to show up, I thought you might have run out on us for good." I was startled by the voice and I turned around to see Eva. I smile up at her and she walks over to where I sit and sits opposite me.
" Hey, sorry I just needed some space to myself, you'know?!"
" So care to tell me what you needed the space for?" I look up from my coffee and look into her eyes, there is this seriousness about them
" Nothing much, family stuff, the usual"
" OK, now care to tell me the truth"
" What?"
" The truth, I know that family excuse is a whole lot of Bullshit, so…." She dragged out the last word, willing me to continue.
" stuff"
" care to elaborate"
" Not really" I looked back down at my coffee she was pissing me off, why couldn't she just take the hint.
" OK, fine, then I will, you are pissed off at me because you think me and Logan have something going on together, so what do you do you freak before we even get a chance to explain and bolt. Was that elaborate enough?", I Looked up at her as soon as I heard the name Logan, What the hell did she think she was pulling off here?, she thinks she can fool me again.
" What the hell are you going on about?"
" Don't play stupid, Max!, I know very well why you walked out last night" I got up from where I was sitting and slammed my coffee mug down hard enough on to the glass table.
" You don't know me, so don't think you do!, you may be my sister but you have only known me for a couple of weeks now. So don't think you know what the hell I am thinking and why" now she rose too, I think I hurt her feelings because as soon as I let the word out the look on her face and in her eyes changed.
" I know you, I think I know you more than you know yourself, and that's what pisses you off! Isn't it?" I looked at her and was silent, silent because she WAS right, she continued " I know that when you saw me and Logan together last night, you jumped to the conclusion that something was going on with him and me, and THAT scared you, it scared you because you know deep down you have feelings for him, and I can see them, but apparently you can't and when you saw me and him you took it has a threat and knew to do what your best at, and that was run. You said it yourself the first time you heard about where you were from and how you were made you ran and pushed everything and everybody away. And that's exactly what you are doing now." I looked up at her and tried to take in everything she said, she was right, I was running away, but I didn't know from what.
" OK, Eva so it looks like you do know me, but that's is not the reason I ran, I couldn't be happier for you and Logan."
" Bullshit, listen Max" her tone was much more gently and quiet " I know you are finding everything hard at the moment but you can't run away from your feeling, I know that you and Lo…"
" Hey Max, I thought I heard voices, where were you?" I turned around to see Logan standing their with his hair all scruffed, he had just got up. I immediately looked up at Eva, silently begging her not to continue, she knew and she didn't.
" Hey, Logan, I was just riding around, I hope I didn't wake you" He looked at me and smiled with those blue eyes I could have died right there, maybe Eva was right maybe I did have feeling for him.
" Of course not, I couldn't sleep. So what time are you two ladies leaving" Eva cut in before I could respond
" Why? Are you in a hurry to get rid of us?" she added a sexy smile at the end. I just laughed because I knew she was putting it on for me.
" No, I was hoping I could cook you breakfast before you leave, and what's so funny Max?" I turned around and walked by him and headed for the kitchen
" Maybe I will tell you one day, Logan, maybe"
