Chapter 8: Eyes Only
Logan's fingers sped expertly up and down the keyboard of his computer, his spectacled eyes glued to the glowing screen. His deep concentration was later disturbed by-
"Hey Logan."
He nearly fell out of his seat. With his hand to his chest, the middle-aged man spun around to face the intruder. "Alec! You scared me to death!"
Alec smirked and plopped down onto a wooden stool beside him. "Aren't you nearing that stage already old man?"
"Shut up," Logan muttered and turned back his attention to his laptop. He had better things to do than listen to the cocky bastard. "What do you want?"
"I need you to check out something for me," a new voice said. A voice that Logan had always loved hearing.
"Oh hey Max," Logan greeted her. "Didn't see you there."
"Maybe your glasses need cleaning," Alec said from beside him. The elder man ignored him and smiled his best smile at Max who-was obviously stifling a laugh from Alec's comment. Logan growled inwardly and went back to typing on his keyboard.
"What about?" he asked flatly.
"Something weird's appearing on my skin," Max said holding out her wrist close to Logan's face and pointing at it. Logan, much to Alec's amusement, shifted a few inches away from her.
"How long has that been there?" Logan asked squinting at them. It was unlike any letter he had ever seen, though from his varied research it might be one of those ancient languages.
"Just this morning," she replied, shrugging. "There's some on my back too."
"I'll need to get some pictures on these so I can scan them on my laptop, that way I can try finding a match to it." Logan said rummaging through his drawer and searching for his digital camera. He finally found it a few minutes later, burrowed deep in a pile of manuscripts and blank papers. "Here," Logan said tossing the camera to Alec who caught it easily.
"I'm sure you'd rather take the pictures, since she's your *girlfriend* and all." Logan said rather bitterly. He still couldn't believe that Max would choose Alec over him. Sure, there was Asha, but Max was thrice as beautiful as her.
"No problem," Alec said with a grin. "Let's go Maxie."
Max flashed Logan a small smile which was enough to brighten up his day. "Can we use your bathroom?" Did he mention 'brighten up his day'? Because he was fairly certain he didn't.
Logan managed a curt nod before turning his back at the two.
