Chapter 3
The afternoon before the Life and Death Brigade kidnapping of Rory...
"There she is." Colin pipped up to Finn.
"Alex!" Finn called as they headed over to her.
"What do you want Colin and Finn?" Alex asked not looking up from her book.
"We wanna talk to you about Rory." Colin answered.
"Go to hell." Alex replied closing her book, grabbing her stuff, and heading out of the hall.
"Alex wait." Finn called after her.
Alex just hurried out and walked into Logan. "Sorry."
"It's okay." Logan replied.
"Logan grab her." Finn called as they tried to follow Alex out.
"Logan, please let me get away from Finn and Colin." Alex begged as Logan took her arm.
"Sorry, but I'm on their side." Logan replied back smiling.
"Of course. Because you're a rich jackass." Alex replied.
"Excuse me?" Logan asked just as Finn and Colin came up.
"Never mind." Alex responded. "What do you want to know? Since I'm being forced."
"Just want to know Rory's dress size." Colin answered smiling.
"She and I are the same size, so no I'm not telling you." Alex commented annoyed.
"It's not like your fat or anything." Finn comment back.
Alex got out of Logan's hold. "Thanks, but I'm not helping you out."
"Come on." Finn responded.
"We're not friends. So why should I help?" Alex asked.
"Because you love your sister." Colin answered.
Alex laughed, but Logan got an idea.
"Well, you're just going to have to come with us." Logan stated grinning evilly.
"Excuse me?" Alex replied back.
Finn grabbed her stuff, while Colin and Logan grabbed her.
"What do you think you're doing?" Alex asked trying to get out of their hold.
"If you want your stuff back, then you're going with us to get your sister a dress." Logan answered as they took her to Finn's car.
"Just know that I hate you guys." Alex responded getting into the car as Finn put her stuff in the back.
Colin got into the front seat and Logan got into the back with Alex. Once Finn started the car, we were off to one of the most expensive stores for dresses.
"Why do you guys shop at expensive stores?" Alex asked as they picked out ugly dress styles in colors that she or sister would never wear.
"Because girls like expensive gifts." Colin answered showing her an ugly yellow dress.
"That is so not going on me." Alex replied slightly terrified. "Yes, girls like expensive gifts. I just don't understand why your give my sister a dress."
"It's for her article." Logan answered holding out a somewhat good looking dress.
Alex laughed. "No. That's not coming near me."
"It's a good color. Why not?" Finn asked taking the dress from Logan.
"Because that color doesn't actually look good on me or my sister. I'm going to go find the blue dresses." alex answered before she went hunting for the blue section.
Alex found it, but Colin and Finn were still showing her dresses that she just could bare to see her sister in without making terrible jokes. Logan was just hanging out in the blue section watching Alex look through them and making faces at each one. Logan finally laughed.
"What do you find funny, Mr. Huntzberger?" Alex asked as she push another blue dress to the dislike pile.
"You." Logan answered smiling.
Alex stopped and looked at him, suspicious. "What do you mean me?"
"At every dress that you've looked at so far, you've made a face." Logan answered still smiling as Finn and Colin showed her two more dress.
Alex shook her head at Finn and Colin before returning to the blue dresses that she hadn't looked at. Logan watched as Alex pushed five more dresses to the dislike pile.
"Why are you in the blues?" Colin asked curious.
"Because Rory looks good in blue." Alex answered already completely bored.
"Nothing." Finn stated.
"I guess so." Logan agreed no longer paying attention to Alex.
"I'll tell Colin that we're leaving." Finn replied before bounding off.
Logan nodded and turn his attention back to Alex, who wasn't standing there anymore. "Alex!"
"I'm just on the other side, and I'm going to go try this dress on." Alex remarked before she headed for the fitting room at the back of the store.
Logan, Finn, and Colin followed.
"Do you think she got lost?" Colin asked turning to Logan just as he saw Alex walk out.
"Alex is hot." Finn stated not able to take his eyes off of her.
Colin, now looking at her, and Logan nodded. Alex was wearing a light blue, sleeveless evening dress that actually fit nicely.
"Does this ruin anything you have planed?" Alex asked curious.
"No. It fits just perfectly." Logan answered actually smiling.
Alex blushed. "Did know that you knew how to actually smile. Impressive."
"Glad you think so." Logan replied back.
"Please tell me she's going to be there too." Finn asked hoping.
"Sorry, Finn. But she's not." Colin answered.
They still haven't looked away.
"Well, I've got a condition." Alex replied folding her arms.
Logan chuckled. "What is it?"
"Get my sister to participant in your 'big event'." Alex answered grinning evilly.
"Excuse me?" Finn and Colin asked.
"In case you haven't noticed, you still have to make it so that I don't tell my sister about this dress and, more importantly, my sister hasn't experienced a risk in her entire life. She just needs to know what having reckless fun is." Alex answered still smiling.
"We'll see what we can do." Logan replied.
"May I have your word on that, Mr. Huntzberger?" Alex asked putting her hands behind her back.
Logan swallowed. "Yes. Yes, you may."
"Good. Then I'll change and you can pay for the dress." Alex responded victoriously.
Colin and Finn both looked at Logan like 'what the fuck' as Alex went to change. Logan just shrugged it off and Alex came back with the dress. Alex handed the dress to Logan, who then went to pay for it as Alex made her way out of the store with Finn and Colin following.

Meanwhile...
"Paris, have you seen Alex today?" Rory asked as Paris barely gets into their shared space.
"Haven't seen her since breakfast." Paris answered putting stuff down and going into her room.
Rory didn't replied, which Paris found old. Rory was busy trying to figure out if her sister was really in trouble or not.
"Why?" Paris asked coming out of her room.
"Our mom was wondering why she wasn't answering her phone." Rory answered.
"She's probably in class or getting help from a teacher." Paris replied. "It's Alex. She could be doing anything. You know that."
"True, very true." Rory remarked. "Thanks."
"No problem." Paris commented before leaving with her books for her next class of the day.

"I did insult you today, right?" Alex asked as Finn drove everyone back to Yale.
"I believe so." Logan answered.
"I really don't remember, and I feel like I should do it again." Alex responded, now trying to think how she could insult Logan.
"No need to do it again. Although, I am curious as to what you come up with." Logan responded back, wanting her to take the bait.
"Not doing it now." Alex sadly replied looking at the window.
"Why not?" Logan asked curious.
"Because you want me to insult you." Alex answered. "That's just no fun."
They arrived at Yale.
"Well, it's been a pleasure love." Finn spoke after he put his car in park.
"Finn, I hate to tell you this, but I'm not your love." Alex replied before getting out of Finn's car.
Finn got out and gave Alex all of her stuff. Logan and Colin got out of the car.
"Thanks for helping me skip class." Alex stated before she headed for her dorm.
Logan caught up to Alex. "Where do you think you're going?"
"I'm going to my dorm. Don't worry, I won't tell Rory anything. I hardly do anyways." Alex answered as they walked.
"All right. Later." Logan responded turning to head back to Finn and Colin.
"Bye dirtbag." Alex called smiling.
Logan just waved it off. Alex rolled eyes smiling and kept walking.
