CHAPTER 1: THE THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR
At Crash.
Logan was at the bar table, sipping his whisky liked he did since he left TC three months ago. Well, to be precisely, he came every night since Max and him had fought. She refused to see him since then, and it had been liked that for about 3 weeks. He was trying to drown his pains and sorrows with alcohol, but it didn't work. And the worst part of this was that he didn't understand the reason. Well, maybe he knew a reason, and she could be angry with him because that, but. why she didn't event want to talk to him after 3 weeks?
He was thinking about all his misery, when something got his attention. Someone, a beautiful woman, was greeting the pretty blond girl who was sitting at his side all night along. That mere thing wouldn't be sufficient at another circumstances, but the thing was that he'd seen her before. At TC. She was an X5, and that fact was totally enough to him for paying attention at their conversation, whatever they could talk about. Maybe he could hear about Max, he thought happily.
He looked quickly at the women through the mirror in front of him. He knew the girl who had just arrived was Sasha, an x5 who worked at the infirmary. He saw her only 2 or 3 times before from afar, and he doubted she could remember him. The other one was an x5 too, he bet, although he never saw her before he left TC. Probably she arrived after the tunnels' opening.
"Hey, Tricia, how you been?", Sasha said to the blond girl. "Hi Sasha, just here, spending my time. It's my first free night since I've arrived to TC, and I just wanna go out and have some fun outside.", Tricia answered. "Umm, I know the feeling. I love TC, but when I have the chance, I hang out a while playing pool, drinking beer. It makes me feel like a." ". A norm?" Tricia interrupted her. "Yeah, like a norm", Sasha said. Logan could say she sounded a little sad, but maybe was just his imagination.
"But Tricia, told me the truth. you're expecting someone, don't you?" The question caught Tricia by surprise, but she managed to answer with an odd calm way. "Not really." "Oh, please, don't lie to me. You're here because you're waiting for him to come". Logan could see with the corner of his eye how Tricia's eyes widened liked plates. "What aaaree you talking about? Who." "Alec, you silly!!" Logan tried not to look directly at the girls, but at the mention of the X5 male he had to. He saw that Tricia slightly blushed and quickly tried to speak in a quiet voice, "How you know?" "Oh Tricia, you're so obvious" "Reallyyy??", Tricia said, with a bit of embarrassment on her voice. "Yeah, but let me give you a little advice.", Sasha said lowly, sounding to Logan almost conspiratorial, liked if what she had to say were something really painful or uncomfortable, Logan couldn't tell, ".Forget him. He's off your limits".
Logan was amused at what he was hearing. Well, overhearing if he was more precise. "But why?" Tricia said, sounding most like a little girl than the super soldier she was supposed to be. Yeah, why, Logan asked for himself. Why? "Oh Tricia, Manticore didn't design us to be chumps. Please don't tell me that you hadn't noticed, because you must be blind to not see that he belongs to someone else. The ocean is plenty of fish, you know, my dear".
"Yeah, I know", Tricia said, not trying to deny the bitterness of her voice. "I knew since the beginning, when I just arrived to TC. Dammit, I knew it since the first moment I laid my eyes on him. But a girl like me deserved to have dreams, you know, and he looks for me like a dream come true."
"Tricia, please, don't fool yourself. He's a lost cause, and you know that. He's deeply in love with someone else. Everybody knows that. And it isn't the worst thing. You know who is that someone. You know HER. And how she reacts when anybody, and I mean, anybody try to flirt with him. You know that she's always jealous like hell when any female it's near to him. And everybody is enough intelligent to stay apart of him. Well, not everybody. Only 2 girls tried in the past to put themselves in the middle, and the things finished very, very ugly. Do you know Kary? She tried to make a run on him and she's now making surveillance in the sewers. Daily. In the night. And Marian." "Yeah, I know what happen to her, and I mean I heard about all the nasty details, you don't have to repeat them."
Logan at this point of the conversation was intrigued. Who's that woman Alec loved? What kind of relationship he had with her? In all the time he knew Alec, he never knew about any woman, well, he knew about a LOT of women, but anyone in particular he could said Alec really loved. And now, after 3 weeks without knowledge about Max or Alec, or anybody in TC, he heard all these. confidences that involved Alec in a twisted way. He stopped his train of thoughts when he heard something that made him freeze.
"But do you know something Sasha? The problem is that she makes all too confuse. They act like a couple in a lot of ways, but she doesn't respect him at all. Yeah, she's always jealous of every girl who hang around him, she only takes advice of him in TC, and she had never accepted anybody else than herself as his backup when he was involved in dangerous missions. In fact it's very probably that right now they're working together, at her office. But it seems to me like she doesn't want to accept that he means a lot for her. I see a lot of times how she treats him. She yells at him, fights with him, blames him when something goes wrong. But otherwise, she practically doesn't allow him to even talk to other girls. Even if it's their relationship style, I don't see any marks on them. You know, if they are . mates, they must have a visible mark in their bodies that let everybody knows that they're a couple, like you and Sean." Logan saw Tricia's eyes traveling along Sasha's neck while she was talking, and he could see the reason: a little bruise, like a bite in the middle of it.
Tricia cleared her throat and continued. "This fact is what makes all the girls like me to have a hope. He isn't hers. Not yet. But if they aren't a couple, why the jealousy? And if she loves him, then why the fighting and the denial? I don't understand the reasons for her strange behavior, maybe it's because she's an 09er, but if I could be Max, I will make clear very soon to everybody that he is mine and only mine."
