original_post:_9/8/2004____________________________ Obviously, Naomi is pretty good at duplicating Alli's mannerisms, and this is her first test since the kidnapping. If it was just all of a sudden, Max would be more suspicious. But it was Naomi's plan all along to actually gain their trust, then utilize that to betray them all. I think she gets off on that sort of thing. Also, I wish I didn't write Max to say "tough cookie." Who talks like that?
