9 Months Of Madness
Alec scanned the crowd doing mental attendance. His beautiful hazel orbs fell across Dirx, Mole, and Joshua all there. One was missing and the most important one at that. Max.
" Anyone seen Max?" He asked in a business like manner. A choirs of no's met his question so he moved on to the next order of business. After the meeting with no sign of Max, Alec volunteered himself to find her.
He easily made his way to her apartment for she lived in the closest building to head quarters. Once before her shabby door he paused thinking for the first time why she hadn't showed up that morning. Alec came up with nothing.
" Max!" He called while running his fingers through his sloppy hair. No answer came. Alec tried the door before actually opening it. As with all the homes in T.C. it had no lock nor did she or any of the others have need for such a thing. Alec entered Max's apartment.
The lack of light other then that streaming in through the door way didn't bother Alec at all. What keep him glued to his place is the disturbing sounds coming from the bathroom just beyond the lumpy couch.
" Max!" Alec called. The bathroom door opened just enough for a very green Max to peck through.
" What are you doing here?" She snapped. Alec's breath caught in his throat at sight of her even with the cold manner at which she treated him.
" Is it a crime to come by to check on our beloved leader?" Alec asked as his cocky grin slid into place. Max seemed about to answer before she suddenly slammed the door shut. Vomiting noises followed. For a moment Alec's mask slipped and a look of complete concern washed over his breath tacking features. Then they were gone replaced by his ever useful mask of emotions.
"Max you all right?" He asked in an even tone. The door flew open almost connecting with Alec's face if not for his super speed.
" Do I seem all right to you!" She screamed. Max leaned against the doorframe using it for support. A thin gray nightshirt hung loosely to her small frame. Her wavy brunette locks sat on top of her head in a messy ponytail. Her features softened into one of those rear smiles she gave Alec so very few of.
" Max you all right?" He asked again.
" Not really." She answered her smile vanishing. Max's eyelids fluttered before she lost her balance and toppled forward right into Alec's arms. She found her footing once his hands helped support her. " Thanks." She whispered.
