: : : The expression of surprise on Carmen's face was probably priceless. And then she burst out laughing hard; so much so that the XO was near tears from it. "Oh Max, you still haven't learned much about me. Yes, my mother getting married is hard to wrap my mind around, but it's not the fact that she got married that shocks me, but /who/ she married Max. She married the man who was my division head and my mentor while I was in S.I. Don't you get it? I love that man. He's been a wonderful part of my life and I'm glad she married him! But aside from the shock of finding out they got married behind my back, I was sitting there with my biological father. Harrison Geddes has been more of a father to me than Gaathen Delphia could ever be. I wish I had known about the wedding, because I wouldn't have been angry at all. I would celebrated with them! And now it's too late. It'll be just another thing to add to my list of regrets," Carmen said, trying to keep her emotions in check. "I'm not angry at them entirely. If anything, I'm angry at myself."

: : Max was unmoved by the laugh from Carmen. His face wasnt showing much information and he tried to remain with a hard stare. "Why take it out on me then Carmen?..." he asked simply

: : Max Power- transport to catch!
:
: Carmen for her part looked confused. "Take it out… are you serious? You bait me, threaten me and wonder why I got angry?" She shook her head. "You know what? Forget it. I thought you were supposed to be my friend, but clearly the concept eludes you," she said sadly before spinning on her hell and leaving him to disembark alone.

"You really want to leave like this then Carmen?... " Max called "I tried... lord knows I tried.. I never got anything from you though.. I am not the one that is only at fault here... " He picked up his kit bag and made to leave.
