Chapter 3
9:30A.m. Jam Pony
Max walked through the entrance of Jam pony, while Alec walked with Lisa, who was walking slowly and wearily. "Where have you been missy miss!, your late agian, and now you've got my golden boy late as well.!!" The man who Lisa assumed must be Normal from what Alec and Max had told her. She took a look at him and wanted to turn around and get the hell out of there. "Sorry Normal I had some business elsewhere to attend to." Max said while walking past normal and going straight for her bike, which was hanging on the wall. "Hold it there, what type of "business elsewhere" did you have to miss half an hour of work for. And if its not new and better then the lame half assed excuses your moron friends have been making for your unexplained tardiness, your fired on the spot." "I had to go pick up my sister from sector 4, she got lost, and I had to look for her" Max said with a nonchalant care-free attitude to her. "O well, that's new,.. ok .. get to work. bip bip bip!, Alec why are you late." "I had to help Max find her sister." Alec said as he also started to get his bike off the wall with Lisa right on his heels. "O.. you mean she really has a sister?" Normal said with a look of disbelief. " Ya, this is her, her name is Lisa, and I want you to hire her, since your looking for employees." Alec said quickly as if almost for it to slip past Normal. "Why should I, give me five reasons, ans ill do it." Normal said with a raised eyebrow. "well lets see, shes a good worker, she's nice, respectful, umm. honest... and one more....umm.. o ya, she's really shy, so she's bound to be polite to the customers, and she would probably never be late, or slack off, or be an idiot so she doesn't get yelled at. There five good reasons.." Alec said all this while counting the five reasons on his fingers and looking at Lisa in between every one of his reasons. "Well sounds good. your hired. do you have a sector pass?" Normal asked looking at Lisa quietly, and circling her as a hyena would his pray. "umm. ya, i got it this morning" Lisa answered with her eyes to the floor. "Ok, do you know your way around the city?" Normal said with a look of curiosity on his face. "well I know a little, but not much. I just moved here." She said finally bringing herself to look at Normals knees. " Hey, don't worry, im not gonna hurt you.. you don't have to be so shy, and scared looking." Normal said sympathetically to Lisa. "Ok, thanks" she said looking him in the face, but still trying to look away. "Hey Alec, she seems to like you, show her the ropes ok." Normal said still eyeballing Lisa. "Ya sure. I was planning on it anyways." Alec responded matter-of-factly. "Ok then, you two get a move on, these packages are missing there mommies terribly." Normal says throwing Alec his messenger bag, which had been freshly stuffed with packages. "O ya, one more thing." Normal shouts as Alec and Lisa are going through the bag of packages. "Do you have a bike?" "Not yet, but I could get one if that's a problem." Lisa says frantically and looking sorry. "Hey, I said you don't have to be scared of me, and that's ok, we have plenty of extra bikes here at Jam Pony, just find one that you like, and keep it. No charge." Normal says as he starts writing Lisas name on the shift chart. "Are you sure, cause I cou.." Lisa starts to say before Normal cuts her off. "Don't worry about it, its fine, just take it." Normal says as Alec takes the bike off the wall that Lisa picked out. Lisa grabs a Jam Pony messenger bag out of the cabinet in which Alec instructed her to do before they walked out of Jam Pony together on there way to start Lisas first shift as a bike messenger.
"Hey Max, come here." Normal yells at Max from half way across the room, as she walks out of the changing room, with freshly changed clothes on, and Original Cindy at her side. "Ya, what's up?" Max says as Cindy crosses her arms and looks at Normal with extreme attitude. "What's up with the new girl, she's your sister eh. Has she always been like this?" Normal looks at Max with great concern in his eyes, but a cool look on his face. "No, only since she was like 15. Shell warm up to you, she just doesn't like the boys." Max says trying to explain her sisters strange behavior. "Ya well, all the good ones don't like the boys, that's what I always say" Original Cindy remarks as though she is implying that Maxs sister is gay. "Not that way OC, she had a traumatic experience when she was younger, and is afraid of guys now." Max tries not to look Normal or Cindy in the eyes. "Oh, well nough said, I don't wanna pry, just wanted to know if it was her, or me." "Norm Norm, normally Id say that its you cause you're a creepy guy and all, but in this case its her,.. like I said though, shell warm up to you, once she gets to know you." Max says while patting Normal on the back, and leaving with Cindy at her side as always.
