Chapter Three: Are You Serious?
Logan came into Max's apartment. He had rushed over as soon as OC had called. He was praying Max remembered him. Shame they couldn't touch; Logan was sure she would remember him at first sight and would want to kiss him deeply. He'd have to remind her not to jump him. When Logan entered the room for real, the reaction was far different than he had expected. And to make matters worse, Alec was there and standing a *bit* too close to Max than Logan would have liked.
***~***
Max certainly did react to the addition to the room. The (also familiar) man, in his late 30's, smiled at her. She glanced back at Alec. His expressive eyes had a look that plainly said, "Oh, crap." Max struggled to disguise a snort.
"Can I help you?" Max asked the odd man who seemed (to her taste) a little too happy to see her. She could tell Alec was having problems not bursting out into laughter. Apparently, she knew the creepy man.
"Do I know you?" This question was not liked by her visitor, but was more accepted than the first.
"Yes! Max, don't you remember me? Logan? Your hunky boyfriend?" If Max had been drinking something, she was positive she would have sprayed it all over his face in shock.
"My boyfriend? That old geezer?" she whispered so quietly only transgenic ears could decode. Unfortunately, there was a transgenic and he wouldn't exactly take that particular comment to the grave. Not that she knew that.
"Ummm...no. I don't remember you...Logan? I gotta blaze. Nice meeting you." Max said limply. She needed a ride on her baby. Plus, she might remember something about Alec. Or Logan.
*Boyfriend? Not if I can help it! *

Alec couldn't hold it in any longer. He burst out laughing. *Everyone at TC will be glad to hear that one. Does Max ever remember TC? *Alec would have to bring her there, but in the meantime, he'd have to return to the poisonous city. Someone would have to run it. But he could afford a detour to the Space Needle.
