Chapter 7 – coffee ?
Back at Logan's
Max walked through past the screens to find Logan sipping coffee at his desk…
" Hey " she said as she stood in the doorway with her hands in her pockets .
" Oh hi Max h…. " he is cut off .
" You were right about the transgenics at the junkyard "
" Aren't I always " he said raising a eyebrow as he leaned back on his chair .
" Guess so " she said smiling at him .
" So did the cops get there first ? " he asked
" Yeah , I got there just in time I think , kicked there asses in a heartbeat " .
" Well that's your style " Logan said jokingly " and you wouldn't have it any other way " .
" Yeah , that's … that's me alright " she said though her expression was now a sad one " .
" You ok " he asked .
" Not really sure , after they left the junkyard , White and his goons clocked onto them , I followed but I wasn't quick enough . One kid got killed " she said whilst sighing .
" Oh .. Sorry to hear that " he said whilst sitting up .
" yeah well I guess I can't save everyone even if that seems to be my job " she sat on a table trying to keep a happy face .
" But you know it's not your fault " he said taking another sip of his coffee .
" One of them , a girl called Loz told me the same thing " Max stated , fumbling with her gloves .
" Well she's right then " He said trying to make her feel better , can't say it really worked .
" She seems strong , like she knows what she's doing " Max said
" A bit like yourself " Logan said , smiling .
" Yeah I guess so " she replied smiling back .
" Just relax , stop worrying . " he said tilting his head to 1 side .
Max walked over and sat down on one of Logan's chairs
" You hungry ? " he asked as he stood up .
" No , but I could kill for a coffee if you don't mind , I've had a long day " she said whilst stretching her arms .
" Ok , I won't be a minute " Logan left for the kitchen .. Whilst Max lay on the chair with her legs over one arm of the chair and her head resting on the other .Logan returned and paused in the doorway for a moment , he wanted to hug Max and comfort her . But he knew that might never happen ..
About half a hour later Max left , she needed time to think about a few things ...
