Trouble

Original Cindy walks in from being out on a run and walks over to Alec who is pulling stuff out of his back pack. He doesn't even notice her standing there. Finally she taps him on the shoulder and he jumps in surprise.

"Boy what is your dealio?" she asks

"Sorry just tired..." Alec replies "where's Max?"

"Sick, and that is the truth." replied original Cindy

"Oh man is she going to be okay?" Alec said a little worried

"Yeah it's all good."

Alec looks at original Cindy a little confused. He didn't understand how Max being sick could be all good. He then realized Cindy wasn't telling him every thing. He turned to her and shook his head.

"Come on now what is going on?" he asked

"Ask her yourself because I don't feel like having her mad at me for opening my mouth." original Cindy replied

At this Alec shrugged and moved to the pay phone. he figured Cindy was right... what was the point of having Max mad at her when Alec could just find out first hand. He dialed Max's cell number and waited for it to ring. Finally some one picked up, but it wasn't Max.

"Hello?" the person said on the other line.

"Logan it's Alec, I was just calling to see if max was okay. Um... well is she?" Alec replied

"Yeah she is resting, not feeling to good with the morning sickness though... oh um you didn't know did you?" said Logan

"No I didn't, O.C. wouldn't let me in on it. But hey now I do. I won't tell if you won't. I am sure she wanted to tell me on her own terms." replied Alec smiling

"Yeah, okay. I will tell her you called to see why she didn't come in."

"Okay nice talking with you, talk to you later Logan."

"Okay bye"

Alec hung up and returned to his locker by original Cindy. She looked at Alec as he grinned at her.

"So I guess you have a reason to be afraid of Max when she is having a hormonal imbalance problem..." he said sarcastically

"To tell you the truth I just don't want my friend hating me. So what did she tell you?" asked original Cindy

"Oh that Logan accidentally told me she is pregnant. Which hey I am happy for them." replied Alec

Original Cindy turned and went to Normal for her next package and left. Alec smirked and followed.

Back at Logan's Max lay sleeping on Logan's bed while Logan recorded his most recent eyes only broadcast. The apartment was silent for some time before the door slammed waking Max up from her slumber. She sat up hearing Asha rambling on about a van that almost ran her off the road. At this she got out of bed and walked into the next room looking frustrated...

"Can you please keep it down?" she asked rubbing head

Asha turned around to see Max standing in the doorway of the kitchen. She turned back to Logan then looked back at Max.

"I am so sorry I didn't..." she began but Logan cut her off.

"Its okay really, Max just isn't feeling good."

"Oh, what's up do you know why Max?" Asha asked

Max looked at her then at Logan. Logan shrugged knowing what Max was implying.

"Yeah pregnancy." said Max sarcastically

Asha stared at Max in disbelief for a few seconds then smiled.

"Wow, congratulations. This is big news." Asha stated sitting on the couch

"Yeah, I just found out today, but we are trying to keep it mostly to ourselves for the moment." said Logan

Max nodded at Logan's words and sat next to Asha. Asha sat in silence along with Logan and Max for a few moments and then spoke.

"So who else knows?"

"My roommate and most likely Alec if he gets nosey enough..." replied Max

Asha nods and goes back to being silent. Finally she gets up the courage to start talking about her incident.

"About that van that nearly ran me down today, you know it was kind of like a military issued van. "Happened somewhere near your place Max." Asha said

Max looked at Logan and then got up. Before she had a chance to go anywhere she sat back down. Dizziness had overcome her.

"What is it are you okay?" Asha asked

"Yeah just dizzy, but I have to go see if original Cindy is okay. That van may have been white." Max said

"I'll go, Asha want to come along?" Logan replied

Max tried to protest but Logan stopped her. He didn't have to say anything, she understood. She couldn't fight like this. And with his cyber exoskeleton his strength will be doubled. Asha was another story... Logan and Asha left and Max made her way back to logins room only to be overcome with sleep once again.

Logan and Asha made it Max and Cindy's apartment mostly in silence. But the sight of the wreckage broke the silence quickly. Almost everything that was breakable was broken. And nothing seemed to be missing. Logan moved over to the counter where he had left his note to original Cindy and the thought of it falling into whites hands made him shiver. Asha checked every room in search for any one hurt, but found no one. Instead she found more broken furniture and clothes strewn everywhere. She met back with Logan in the living room and looked at him with a shrug.

"They must have not found anything, because they destroyed the place..." she said into the silence.

Logan nodded and turned to pick up the phone. Just as he was about to dial Cindy appeared in the doorway. Shock overcame her and she could barely stand at the sight of her and Max's place in ruins. She turned to Logan and sighed.

"I am guessing one of Max's bad guys decided to come a searching again?" she simply stated.

Logan nodded to Cindy and kept dialing the phone number. It began to ring but no one picked up. He tapped on the counter in frustration, but still no one picked up. Finally he hung up the phone and turned to Cindy and Asha.

"I have to go see if Max is okay. Asha, take Cindy to your place it isn't safe here for the time being." and at that he left.

Asha and Cindy looked at each other and shrugged. Cindy packed up some of her belongings and followed Asha outside. They didn't know what was going on, but obviously there was some sort of trouble going down...
