Chapter 4:

Foggle Towers, Penthouse 10:54PM

"So what's with the 'friend'?" Max asked in between kisses. They couldn't keep their hands (and mouths) off each other long enough to talk.
"Max ..she's just someone I work with" he said through gasps for air.
"Work with?" she asked raising her brow.
"Heh..Max I'm a reporter now"
"So .. what was she here for then"
"She was at crash and there was a fight, one of my other friends got hit in the head so"
"Ah. and is this other friend a good-looking blonde who likes to stop by late at night too?" she interrupted sarcastically.
"Max, he (he emphasized as he gave her a quick glare) was hit in the head with a bar stool so she took him here because it was the closest place"
"Oh Logan you've changed." she said in a mocking voice ignoring the rest of what he said except for the 'he' part.
"Are you even listening to me"
"Sure I am, I multitask like there's no tomorrow remember? or has blondey rocked your world so much you forgot about me?" she wasn't serious, she was teasing him, but it was making him protest and she liked it, it showed he cared.
"Max 'blondey's' name is Gale, and you're the only girl that rocks my world." he said with a smile. So did Max as she seemed satisfied at his remark and she leaned her head against his chest.
"I missed you." she said closing her eyes.
"Me too." he put his hand on her head.
"So there was a fight at Crash?" Max asked after a pause without the least bit of a surprised tone.
"Yeah, Gale said something about a girl and a drunk guy, why"
"Wouldn't happen to be a brunette about my height in leather jacket and a red shirt would it? she asked twirling her finger on his chest without slowing the pace of her speech.
"Pff, uh I think Gale said she was a brunette"
"Brin." she stated as if she wasn't at all surprised.
"What?" Logan asked now pulling her out in front of him to look at her in suprise.
"Yeah it's ok Logan she's good now." her tone still hadn't changed from how relaxed it was.
"She helped me get out. But she said she was going to Crash and i figured she wouldn't last four hours without getting into trouble. Normally id say she could take care of herself and we can go get jiggy with it, but its been a while since she's been out in the world and i better go check on her." Logan smiled at what she said and how she was managing to say everything in such a relaxed innocent voice.
"But I don't wanna leave." she said disappointedly.
"Ill come with you." he said and without hesitating scooped her up into his arms and got up to head to the door. Max's eyes widened briefly with surprise at his spontaneous act then she smiled.
"Logan what are you doing?" she asked laughing.
"I'm takin you to Crash." he said grabbing his jacket on the way out without dropping her. He carried her over to the elevator and set her down but she didn't let go of his neck and she pulled him into a kiss which deepened in about 4 seconds and Logan pressed the elevator button with his foot. The kiss began to get lustier and Max was up against the side of the elevator with her arms around his neck. Logan began to slip his hands up the hem of her shirt and she dropped her hands to his waste and began to undo the button of his jeans. The elevator dinged and the door opened when it reached it's destination. They pulled away gasping. "Woh.." she said still gasping. Max glanced up at him and let out a small laugh. "That was close." she said.
"Right"
"Yeah, but you might wanna zip your pants up first Cale"
"That would be a good idea." He said laughing.
"Common, if we hurry I'll give you a treat when we get back." she said slyly giving him a sexy look and letting her hand slide over his chest as she past him and slid out of the elevator.
"Ooo, treat." he said with a smile following her.
"Hey Max." he said catching up to her and sliding his arm around her waste steering her to a different direction than she was headed.
"You're going the wrong way"
"Huh?" she replied looking up at him.
"But your car is over there"
"Exactly." he said with a smug look. A confused expression crossed her face.
"III've got a supriiise for yoouu." he said mockingly like a bragging 2nd grader.
"What"
"Follow me." he led her to a lump in the corner of the parking garage covered with a canvas tarp and pulled it off.
"Oh my god my baby." Logn smiled, "I kinda borrowed your ride while you were gone." Max's eyes went up in an amused expression and then she smiled as if she was trying not to laugh.
"What"
"It's just, Logan on a motorcycle"
"Well, i just happen to have one while i was in college"
"Really?" Logan smiled and put on a pair of sleek sunglasses.
She nearly burst out laughing.

Logan wizzed through the streets like a pro, with Max hanging on to his waste.
"Ok so i doubted you." She yelled over the engine.
"Oh you've seen nothing." he joked and Max barely had time to smile before he popped the front wheel up and then skidded to a stop in front of Crash.
"We're here." he stated casually with another smug half-smile. Max, stunned at his hidden skills took awhile to respond.
"Holly Fuck." Logan couldn't help his smile widen at her comment as he got off and put out a hand like a limo chauffer to help her off and she looked up at him with the still amazed expression on her face.

In Crash a table or two were broken and there were splintered chairs and stools and a variety of glass and beer sprawled across the floor along with other things that had been caught in the cross fire of the fight. Brin was sitting on the bar with her feet on a stool talking to a guy with black hair that was leaning next to her with his back facing them. They were almost the only people in the dim lit place besides a few people that were having drinks at tables and the bartender whipping up the mess of glass and beer from the counter. There was music playing somewhere in the distance in the room. Max came up next to them and put her hands on her hips looking at Brin.
"Uht-ooh." she said like a little kid who just got caught with her hand in the cookie jar when she saw Max.
"I can't leave you alone for one minute without you causing a-" she stopped in the middle of her sentence when the guy, who up to then still had his back towards her, turned around. An extremely shocked, and partly terrified look spread across her face.
"Rafer?!"
