"Knock, knock!" Max called from the doorway to Logan’s computer room. 

Logan turned and looked at Max. Giving her a quick smile he turned back to the computer screen he had been looking at,
"Took you long enough."

Max shrugged and walked over to stand next to him reading over his shoulder. "Well, what can you say, I do actually
have a life ya know?"

He laughed softly and turned back to face her. "Well, anyway, I need you to look into a certain person for me."

"Okay, I can dig that, why do you need me to look them up? What have they done to destroy the world?" she asked as
she pulled a chair over and sat next to him.

"She hasn’t destroyed the world, but let’s just say that she is an old friend I need some information from. She seems to
know a lot about Manticore and the chimera projects."

Max looked taken aback by this information and frowned, "How you know her and why didn’t you tell me about her
earlier?"

Logan turned and looked at Max, "Jealous?" 

"Whatever! Hey, did I hear right? Was that plural on the word project?"

He turned back to the computer and opened up a file, "Yep, there were about seven different projects. Ever wonder why
you were called the X5’s? That was because you were the fifth group of chimera’s they tried. My guess is that she either
worked for them or she is a very, very good hacker."

Max nodded at that as she looked at the file telling about the different chimera projects, "Alright, but why do you need
me to find her?"

With a sigh Logan took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. Replacing the glasses he looked at his
companion. "Well, the thing is that I can’t find her. I tried e-mailing her and calling her but her PT says she left for a trip
and didn’t say where. But that isn’t like Julie so I am a bit worried about her." 

"Okay, I will look into it for you. Can I get some stats and an idea of where she just might have gone?"

"That I can do," Logan turned to his desk and opened a dour. He pulled out a picture of him standing and of this other
girl in a wheelchair. Again Max realized how tall Logan would be if he did stand up again. The woman in the picture had
long, blonde hair and blue eyes that were a dark, dark blue almost purplish. "She goes by the name Julie Rosen. Most of
the time when she goes away she comes here to Seattle to visit but I’m not sure where she is now."

Max peered down at the picture, "How did you meet her?"

"Um, we dated for a little bit but then she got transferred to Chicago."

"Was that what ended the relationship?" Max asked a little put off learning this snippet of information.

Logan smiled at the memory; "Sorta, we both figured that we just liked each other as good friends. Plus Julie always
said she was holding me back on my mission with her in a wheelchair."

Max raised an eyebrow, "Like you often say about your self concerning me?"

He laughed softly, "Yeah, only she was the one who got me into my mission. Julie loved the fact that she had helped me
set up Eyes Only but she felt sorry that she couldn’t leave the computer and go out to find the information like I often
did."

Thinking Max looked at Logan, "She did a lot for both of us then didn’t she?"

Logan nodded and was about to say something when Max suddenly frowned, "Some one is at your door and picking the
lock." Max turned to Logan suddenly, "And here I thought I was your only visitor that liked to surprise you!"

Max then ran out of the room and was about to tackle the person entering Logan’s apartment when she came up short
seeing Zach. She starred open-mouthed then when the girl from the picture Logan rolled into the apartment behind
Zach. 

The girl frowned slightly and rolled past both of them into Logan’s computer room. Carefully she knocked on the
doorframe, "Knock, knock Logan Cale, this is your conscience speaking, you’re working me too hard!" She laughed when
Logan turned around and starred at her also open-mouthed. 

"Jules?"

She smiled and opened her arms wide, "In the flesh!" Julie looked down at Logan in the wheelchair, "Hey, what did I tell
you? You are not Superman and therefore you can not dodge bullets!"

Logan laughed and wheeled over to her and gave her a hug that she returned fully. "Where have you been? Kris and I
have been worried, I was just about to send out a search party!"

Julie rolled her eyes; "I have been traveling with a friend. His name is…"

"Zach?! Okay, now what are you doing here?" Logan interrupted.

Julie looked over her shoulder and saw Zach standing there with Max, "Oh? You know him already?" She looked at the
face they were both giving each other, "And I can really sense how much you two enjoy each other’s company too. How
about we go to the sitting room and we all have a cup of tea? Sound good? Okay!" With that Julie turned around and
went into the kitchen to get four mugs and start the pot of hot water. She turned back and looked at all of them just
looked at her, "You coming or not?"

Slowly they all migrated over to the living room. Zach sat down in a chair across from the coffee table as Max sat down
on the couch. Logan rolled up to the couch and levered himself onto it next to Max as Julie came back in with the mugs of
hot tea. Handing one to every person she pulled herself up into a big armchair that was by the fireplace. Max was the
first one to speak up.

"Okay, anyone care to fill me in on this little snippet of information?" she asked, mainly looking at Zach.

For once Zach looked slightly sheepish. "Well, I was looking for information on the location of the rest of us Max when I
found Jul-"

Julie interrupted, "He found me. Nice to meet you Max after so long. I wondered how you were."

Logan frowned slightly and looked from Max to Julie to Zach and then back to Max. "You know Julie?"

She shook her head; "I don’t think so. I remember most everyone I meet."

At that comment Julie snorted, "Sure, Max. I know for a fact that you were able to tell the identity of your brothers and
sisters from looking at a picture that Logan gave you. And here you don’t even remember me in the flesh. You all really
didn’t like me at all did you? I was just another person to be forgotten after you all left and ran. You didn’t even think
about looking for those who didn’t leave with you all that night. Just the ones who did escape. I really do feel loved,
Max, I really feel just so loved." 

Max turned to Zach, "What does she mean?"

"Max, do you remember one of our sisters, Juliet? One of her nicknames was Poet because she loved Shakespeare and
would read it to us. Do you remember her?"

She nodded, "Of course! She made us all feel like normal humans when a lot of us felt so upset about the soldiers and
how we were treated. Why do you ask?"

For once Zach looked tired and defeated, "Because Julie as Logan called her is Juliet. Our Juliet. She escaped while the
soldiers were trying to capture us. We forgot to wake her when we were going to leave. When she awoke to find us
gone she ran and escaped."

Through the entire conversation Logan looked shell-shocked. "Yes, her real name is Juliet but everyone called her Julie
or Jules. She always wore turtlenecks even in the summer and I remember her always saying how much she hated them
but she always wore them. And for as long as I knew her she held a huge passion for Shakespeare." He sighed looking
over at Julie, "Know I know why at least."

Zach turned to Logan; "Do you know about how she became paraplegic?"

"Of course! We were dating then when she slipped at the Space Needle. Another long reason why I hate heights and
will never go there anymore."

By then Julie had come out of her bad mood and was smiling again, mostly at Logan as she began to talk to him
reminiscing about how he got shot and what he had been up to as of late. Max looked at her sister again and just
couldn’t see how the person she knew at Manticore could be the person she was sitting with. She just seemed so totally
different. She was like a cannon with a very short fuse. Max could relate to that very well but this person in front of her
did not seem like her old sister who was mostly silent except when she was reading which she always seemed to do.
She didn’t look like she belonged saving the world like Logan but Max knew that appearances are very deceiving. 

Slowly Max began to speak, "Juliet, I have a single question for you."

Julie looked up at Max, "It’s Julie, but go ahead."

Max smirked, "What was Logan like when he was younger?"

The two girls broke out into laughter as the two guys looked to each other as if saying ‘Women!’

 

Julie woke up suddenly and panted from the dream she had just had. She was dancing with Logan when suddenly she
tripped and fell and was falling down the stairs at the Space Needle. Pushing the dream back she sighed and looked at
the clock: two thirty AM. "Wonderful!"

She pulled out her laptop from beside Logan’s guest bed. Opening it up a message popped up onto the screen. It was a
calendar and a day in the middle of the month was blinking. Groaning Julie checked the date for the day that had just
started and hit the nightstand table that was next to the bed with her fist, it breaking and falling to the ground in a
heap. The day that was blinking was that day. The reason it was blinking was that Julie had figured out when she would
be in heat and she would be going into heat that day. With another groan she laid back down closing the laptop,
"Wonderful."
