8:30 am
Alec's apartment
Hannah stirred with confusion. After a minute she remembered where she was. I guess I feel asleep after Alec and I talked. She looked around and saw with surprise that Alec was right next to her. She smiled. Wow, he stayed with me-he's such a gentleman. I may not remember who I am, but at least I don't have to be alone here I have Alec.
Hannah slowly got up and woke Alec in doing so.
"Hey," he yawned.
"Hi. So, are we going to…uh, Jam Pony is it? Today?
"Yeah," Alec said as he got up and grabbed some clothes. "I'll dress in the bathroom. You can dress here, and I'll get us some breakfast; let's see-I've got cereal and toast-or do you want to stop along the way for pancakes?"
"That's okay. Cereal's fine. What time is work?"
"Nine."
She glanced at the clock and gasped. "Oh! It's 9:05 already. You're late-we can skip breakfast. Oh, this is all my fault, keeping you up last night-"
"Hey, it's okay" Alec interuppted her. "Late all the time. And Normal loves me, so he doesn't care." Alec grinned.
Hannah laughed at that last comment. "Seriously though, you sure?"
"Yeah, if you're feeling up to it-or I can stay home with you if you need company."
"No-No, I'll come. I wanna meet the rest of your friends."
"I'm sure they'll enjoy meeting you too. Okay, I'm gonna go change in the bathroom," he said, taking his clothes out of the room. "Unless you need in first?"
She smiled. "I'm good, thanks. "
"See you in a few then."

16 minutes later
Hannah exited the room to see Alec dressed in a blue sweater, dark blue jeans that hung off him just right. He was putting out breakfast. Wow is he handsome or what!
"I only have corn flakes, is that okay?"
"Um sure," she looked down, blushing slightly at her recent thoughts.
He turned around to see Hannah as she looked up, having composed herself. She was wearing a long deep purple shirt with extra long sleeves and a v-neck, and blue flared jeans. She had her hair pulled back with a blue hair elastic.
"Wow, you look nice," now it was Alec's turn to blush. Embarrased, Alec turned back to the table and busied himself with arranging the settings. He looked up a few seconds later. Hannah looks a little nervous-I wonder what she's thinking, he mused.
"You too. So..is it too much; too little? For work? I want to make a good first impression for my job interview."
"It's just right," he smiled to reassure her. "Normal will just have you fill out a sheet-don't worry-I don't think he'll bombard you with questions."
"Whew, that's good to hear," she sighed. "You think I'll get the job?"
"Hell ya."
"Awesome." She smiled, confident in Alec's words. "I'm just gonna hit the bathroom, and then I'll eat with you."
"Sure," Alec responded.

20 minutes later
Outside of Jam Pony Xpress
Both Alec and Hannah were about to go inside, when Hannah stopped.
Alec turned around to face her. "What is it?"
"Do you think..so you think they'll like me?"
Alec returned her questioning gaze by looking a her with sincerity in his eyes. "Of course. They'd be crazy not to like someone like you.
She blushed. "Hope so."
The pair entered Jam Pony and Normal heard Alec entering. "You're late Romeo," he called out, "I've got a run for you-"
He stopped as Hannah and Alec approached the dispatch desk.
"And who is this?"
"Hi, I'm Hannah", she said, shaking Normal's hand.
"She's a friend down on her luck," Alec added, "Whatya say, Normal; can we get a job here?"
"We're pretty full-"
"Normal, she just got out of the hospital-she was attacked," he emphasized for attack.
"What is this world coming too," Normal mumbled.
"Look..I just need a job for a while to pay for hospital bills and rent; to get me back on my feet. Just give me a chance, please?"
Normal sighed. "All right, fill this out," he said, handing her a resume, "Fill it out later-you need the money, so start today."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Normal. You won't regret this."
"Mr? I like your attitude already. Do you know the area?"
She shook her head. "No, sorry."
"That's alright. Alec can show you the ropes, he's our star. "
"Nah," Alec laughed.
"You two take this run after he fills you in. He gestured to the wall opposite him. There are some spare bikes on that wall, you can use one. When you get back, I'll get a key for you to one of the spare lockers. I can tell you, being as polite as you are you could be a valued member of our team."
"Okay, thanks again."
"You're very welcome," Normal was still shocked that he was getting respect from an employee.
Alec and Hannah walked away from Normal's desk, Hannah looking very pleased with herself.
"See? You got the job! Congrats," Alec said.
"Thanks."
"Basically, we just deliver packages and get signatures. I'll make sure you're not alone on any runs since you're not familiar with the area."
"Thanks Alec," Hannah replied.
"Now, you can pick out your bike," Alec said as her lead her towards them.
"Hey!" Max said, approaching the two.
"You're workin' at Jam Pony now?!?" She looked at Hannah with confusion, and then to Alec with annoyance. "Alec, you put her up to this-she's your guest, she doesn't need to-"
"Max," Hannah cut in. "It's alright, I insisted. Like I told Alec, girls gotta pay the bills and help with shopping money and stuff-it's not fair to Alec to have to pay for everything. Plus, I'd be bored hanging alone all day. And-hey!" Hannah smiled, realization hitting her, "Being up and around might help jog my memory."
"Maybe," Max agreed, she hadn't thought of that. She paused and mumbled, "Sorry Alec."
"What was that, couldn't hear you?" Alec teased.
"Tsch, you heard me. Come on Hannah, lets go meet the gang."
"But-our run?" Hannah protested. "I still have to pick a bike-"
"It can wait," Max brushed her hand in the air.
O.C. and Sketchy were sitting on a table at the second level of Jam Pony playing cards.
"I keep telling you fool-Ace is higher," O.C. stated.
Sketchy sighed in frustration. Max, Alec, and Hannah approached the table.
"Hey Boo, hey Sketch," Max said in greeting.
The two looked up from their game of cards.
"Hey-" Sketchy looked up realizing Hannah was there. "Hi," he smiled. "Who's your friend Max?" he asked still looking at Hannah.
Before Max could explain, O.C. smiled and said, "Hannah, I'm guessin?'"
Hannah nodded. "Nice to meet you."
"You too, Hannah," she stood up and shook Hannah's hand with a smile.
Hannah smiled, happy to receive such a warm response.
"I'm Original Cindy, you can call me O.C. if ya like, most people do. The man I was beatin' here's Sketchy."
"Nice to meet you Hannah. You can call me Sketch, they do. Welcome to the gang." She shook hands with Sketch.
"Have a seat boo," O.C. said as she sat down herself.
Hannah looked around confused, "Oh, is that me?"
O.C. laughed. "Yeah, I call all my friends that." Hannah sat down, as did Max and Alec.
Max looked to Sketch. "O.C. and Alec know the dealio, but Sketch, here's the rundown. Hannah was attacked and has amnesia."
"Wow," was all Sketch could say, dumbfounded.
"What about her id?" O.C. said in a low voice.
"We-uh lost it," she quickly said, glaring at O.C.
"Bummer," Sketchy said.
Hannah herself looked puzzled. "It's not like I remember anything, why does my id matter?" She shrugged.
"Nevermind that, you're right Hannah," Max lied. "Alec, I was thinking, this weekend you and me and Hannah could get together and chill and maybe try and jog her memory if we can."
"Sure, sounds kool. Is that okay with you Hannah?" He said, looking to Hannah.
She looked over at Alec. "Yeah, sure. "
"We should get over to the spare bike rack, so you can pick out one and we can get on that run, Hannah."
"Okay," she answered, and her and Alec got out of their seats. "We'll meet you guys at Crash tonight?"
"Yeah," all three said.
"Logan will be there to give us any leads on Hannah's id he has," Max added.
"Does he still think I'm dating you?" Alec snapped.
"Yes," Max said. "I had to lie, I'm sorry.."
"Whatever," Alec rolled his eyes.
Hannah looked to Alec, with a very confused look on her face.
"It's a long story. We're not though," he said to clear things up.
"See ya at Crash boo. Don't worry, you'll do fine here." O.C. said to Hannah.
"Thanks," Hannah smiled.
"No problem. I gotta get on a run, Lata all," she said as she got up .
" Bye guys," Max said.
"I gotta go too, see you guys later." Sketchy chimed in, as he got up.
"Okay, bye, nice to meet you all," Hannah smiled as O.C. and Sketch said, "Same here," as they went back to work.
"Bye Hannah," Max said.
"Okay, I'll meet you by the bikes Hannah," Alec said.
"Kay," she said, walking off.
As soon as everyone had gone, but her and Alec, Max got up and walked right up to Alec, speaking in a low voice that no one but the two X5's would hear. "Tonight, we need to let Hannah in on the full picture-1983, our unique genes, all of it."
Alec nodded in agreement. "Definetly. She should know. I think we can trust her."
Max nodded. Looking up at Alec, she saw something in his eyes that she hadn't seen since Rachel. In fact, she didn't know if she had ever seen an expression like that on his face-one of trust and compassion for another, for Hannah; open, not hidden. One thing was for sure. Her hunch was right. He did have feelings for her! And Max was willing to wager those feelings went beyond friendship.
