Chapter 17

Finally Something Good


Midweek:

"Woah, Max," Sketchy shook his head as he saw her walk into Jam Pony, "I would've hated being the guy taking you to the prom."

She looked at him confused, not shocking since this was Sketch and he had definitely taken one too many to the head, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Your dad," he shook his head again, "Scariest man I've ever seen."

"My what?"

"Oooh Boo," Cindy said rushing over, she hooked an arm around Max's shoulders and led her away.

"What's going on?" Max said under her breath

"Lydecker was here…Left a file with me for you."

"Lydecker was here?"

"Yea," she said with a nod of her head, "Good thing you gave me the heads up on what the man looked like. Heard your name while I was getting a soda, turned around knew it was him."

"So why did Sketch just call him my dad?"

OC laughed, "I think you guys both do the same evil death glare…Normal looked up and once he found the words to talk again said "Mr. Guevara right? This explains a lot."

"We do not have the same evil death glare."

Original Cindy laughed, "Well you both have very scary ones…I understand why you spent 11 years running from the guy. He was nice enough to me though." She opened her locker and handed Max the file.

She opened it and briefly flipped through the papers.

"What is it?"

Max looked up in surprise, "Looks like how to get rid of my seizures…" she looked back down and flipped some more, "Or at least control them."

"Nice to know the guy finally did something for you."

"Hmm," she looked some more.

"What's up boo?"

She shook her head, "Nothing," and closed the file. "So did I show you the pictures Logan's cousin took at the wedding?"

"Ooh no," Cindy said eagerly anticipating the pics.

Max put the file in her locker and took out the photos Logan had printed out last night.

Cindy started flipping through them, "Haha," she said turning the pic for Max to see, "Family shot, you're in a family shot. I told you, you and rich boy are getting married."

Max just shook her head, "For the nine millionth time, he's not rich anymore."

Cindy almost dropped the pictures and froze.

"What?" Max said suddenly anxious, what had happened, what did she say?

"You didn't have a comeback about you and Logan not getting married or hell even you flippin out."

Max just shook her head and sighed. "Less than two months," she reminded her friend.

Cindy gave a small sarcastic laugh, "Whatever you say Boo." She went back to flipping the photos, then looked up, smiling, "Can we invite Daphne?"

-o-o-o-

"You're not going to believe who was at my job today?" Max said after walking into the apartment and over to Logan who was engrossed in research.

He looked up, "Well if it was Jacob Seidner, you made my life a lot easier."

Max laughed as she took off her bag, Logan had been looking for this guy for almost 3 weeks for yet another police corruption scandal, she shook her head, "Sorry"

"Dammit," he joked as he pushed back from the desk and looked up at her, "So who was it?"

"Lydecker," she said propping herself up against the desk.

Logan looked at her surprised, "Did he say where he's been? What did he want?"

"I didn't see him, he left this file with OC though," she grabbed the file out of her bag.

Logan flipped through it and didn't speak for a few moments, "So with constant treatment"

She cut him off, "Bye bye seizures, revved up girl can stay fully functioning."

He frowned, "Hmm."

"I really hate when you do that."

He laughed, "I'm sorry, I just wonder if we'll really be able to eradicate the seizures with that piece of junk in your head."

"Be positive," she said walking away and into the kitchen, "Maybe I'll just need stronger doses."

"I'll call Sam and see what he can hook us up with," He said once more looking back down at the file.
