A/N: Okay, so I've never read any of the DA books (gasp SCANDALOUS, I know), but I have heard that Max finds out about Logan's little secret, and actually forgives him about it. I don't know about you, but I think I'd probably rip him limb from limb slowly…
If you don't know what I'm talking about, read on:
Alec groaned soflty and rotated in his bed. Sleepy eyes opened to land on the ringing phone on his night stand, then to the clock behind it. it took a few moments to comprehend what the glowing red letters were trying to tell him. 3:38 am? What the fuck?.
Whoever was calling him had better have a damn good reasonfor it.
He'd only gotten to bed three hours ago, anyways.
He snatched the phone off the table. "Go for Alec," he bit out, his voice boh husky with sleep and loaded with threats to the caller.
"Um, Alec? Its Dix. I, uh…" he heard an audible gulp, before the timid transhuman continued, "I think you should come down to HQ, there's something you should see-"
"Dix," Alec groaned angrily, "its fucking 3:30 in the morning. If you found one of our former friends from Manticore, I can look at it in a couple of hours." He sighed, dropping his head back down on his pillow. "Unlike our fearless leader, I do actually need regualar sleep, so unless White's having a tea party outside our front gates, I think it can wait until morning."
Silence waited on the other end of the linefor a few moments, before Dix's voice came stuttering out.
"N-no Alec, its not th-that. Its just … well, I've been looking for them all night. I finally decided to try the Eyes Only database, but …well…"
Alec groaned as Dix trailed off, Max was going to go nuclear when she found out someone'd been snooping in roller boy's stuff.
"Great, just great. Please tell me you at least found something, that way Max will only maim me for Wheel's invasion of privacy and not full out terminate?"
There was a pause before Dix replied. "Well…I was looking, but that's not it. I uh, accidentaly stumbled on something else."
Alec waited a minute. "Well?"
"I accidentally found some files on Max's family. I got curious, and decided to take a look. But Alec, one of these files…I don't know. I really think you should look at it."
A sense of foreboading dropped into Alec's stomach as he sat up. "Which one of the 09'ers is it?" Max's family was extremely important to her, moreso than even Terminal City itself. He could tell by the way Dix was speaking that whatever the information, it was not good. Hopefully, it was old news and Max already knew about it. He snorted. He didn't have that kind of luck.
He was already half way dressed when Dix anwered him. Dix's reply caused Alec to freeze in confusion, his fingers on his shoelaces.
"Um, the file reads … Seth."
