Knock! Knock!
Max slowly walked towards the door and looked through the peep hole and sees Jay, so she opens it.
"Hey" Jay greeted Max
"Hey Jay look right now i really don't wanna talk am waiting..." Max was cut off.
"Can i come in it will only take a minute?" Jay asked
"Sure" Max moved away from the door to let him in.
"What's up?" she asks him both of the standing infront of each other near the door which Jay closed behind him.
"I know who you are 452" Jay mealy whispered
"What did you just say?" Max asked not believing what he just said
"I said i was the one who was texting you" he answered
"Who are you?" Max asked, she pulled out her gun which she had hidden in the back of her jeans waist band and aimed it at Jay. Her eyes showing sign of danger.
Jay blurred grabbed the gun out of her hand and dropped it on the floor. They started to fight hand to hand combat but Jay pushed Max against the door, holding her right arm up behind her back. Max tries to struggle to get free but she can't.
"What the hell are you playing at?" Max hissed at him but he didn't answer. He moved her long hair to the side and seen her barcode.
"Maxie it is you" He whispered and let her go she turned to face him
"Who are you?" she asked still wary
"Why don't you check for yourself" He replied smiling as he turned around.
Max reached up and pulled down the collar of his jacket and started at his barcode. She was speechless he turned back around to face her.
"Zane" She whispered surprised, she smiled up at him and fell into his embrace,
"I can't believe it's you..i've missed you" Max tells him
"I've missed you too, sorry i didn't tell you sooner i wasn't sure if it was you or not until i hit you" Zane replied
"How have you been?" Max asks walking over to the three piece suite and sat down followed by Zane.
"Good you?" He answered
"Fine thanks. So what brings you to Seattle?" Max asks
"This" He said as he leaned down and gently kissed her, Max responded and deepened the kiss.
They broke apart, looked into each others eyes and smiled.
"I love you too" Max tells him
"Am glad" Zane replies
"How did you know i was in Seattle?" Max asked cuddling into Zane.
"Zack told us" he answered
"Us?" Max asked
"Me and Syl... Know how she makes that extremely strong alcoholic drink that draws you jaws together, well we kind of teamed up against Zack" Zane tells her and they both let out a little laugh.
"We tied him to a chair and i held him down while Syl made him drink glass after glass of it until he told us where you were" he finished.
"Oh my goodness i bet he was mad" Max replied laughing
"Yeah and he had a bit of a headache the next day" Zane told her.
"What's Syl like? Who else have you seen?" Max asked
"She hasn't changed a bit, her and Krit still like to play pranks on everyone. She hangs around a lot with Krit but they say their not together but we all know they are. I've met everyone who goes to the X5 reunions" Zane answered
"Who all goes?" Max asked curiously
"Tinga, Brin, Zack ,Jondy, Syl. Krit, Jack, Ben and myself" He answered but then regretted it when he saw the sadness in her eyes.
"Maxie" He whispers giving her a cuddle
"Who else hasn't been? Am i the only one?" Max asked desperate to know, tears slowly filling up in her eyes.
"No you not... Kavi and Vada haven't either" Zane said lightly
"Why did Zack not invite us three?" She questioned as a small tear fell
"He said you three were wreckless and stuff... Maxie you should come to the next one" Zane said looking down at her.
"When is it?" she asked more happily
"I haven't planned a date yet, you see every reunion we take it in turns to organise it this time i get to and you were at the top of my list to attened. I had to try even more to find a way to get Zack to tell me where you were and when Syl found out from Krit she wanted to help aswell" Zane tells her.
"You've tried to get Zack to tell you before" Max said smiling
"Yes we all have but every plan we came up with seemed to fail but this time we found out where you and everyone else is." Zane replied returning the smile.
"Aright so who will be there?" Max asked yawning
"Everyone apart from Jack, Vada and Kavi i couldn't get their number or location from Zack...Tell me more about you Maxie what have you been up to all these years?" Zane answered
"After the escape i came into Seattle, hide in the space needle for a few days i only went out at night to get food and supplies. Then i realised everyone else wasn't the enemy and they didn't want to hurt me a got a few jobs.Then i started work at Jam Pony met a few cool people there and here i am... Still in Seattle where i share this apartment with Cindy" Max explains.
"You forgot to mention you partying nights at crash" Zane added smiling. Max yawned then laughed
"Are you and Cindy colse friends?" Zane wondered
"Yeah she's ma girl for life. Were always there for each other and the best thing is she knows all about me and Manticore. So she understands it all and doesn't treat me diferently" Max answered
"Your lucky to have someone like that" Zane tells her.
"Max are you okay?" he added
"Yep am just tired" Max answered sleepily
"Shark DNA my ass" He replied laughing
"I do still have to sleep...Just not alot" She told him laughing
"Just you sleep then and i'll watch tv" Zane commented
"But i've not seen you for years and you proberly wont be staying long" Max moaned
"It's okay Maxie i'm not going anywhere in a hurry. I want to be here with you...Now just rest" Max did as she was told, she cuddled into Zane and fell asleep, later on Zane too fell asleep on the couch.
