Chapter Seven- The Party
The giant ballroom of the Delaney family mansion was filled with people, silk clad elbows brushing together and air kisses being passed merrily all over the room. Max socialized properly, but internally, she winced every time of the snobbish men and women of the grabbed her arm and asked there opinions on this and that. Max was known to be opinionated which had its advantages and its disadvantages. It was good that people weren't shocked by her outburst, which could definitely have its negative effects on Eyes-Only. It was bad because people always wanted to know her opinion on every damn thing, which annoyed the hell out of her when she was trying to get some freakin' work done. She had gotten the signaled her close to twenty minuets ago that it was all clear, and if she didn't make her move soon, the opportunity would be lost. She untangled herself from a young man who thought he'd see if her could cop a feel. When she not so politely stepped on his foot (ooppss! Looks like I stomped on your horny ass foot, in my heels. Sorry!), she stalked off.
"Three minuets and counting." She said to herself as she pushed her way to the back exit. Weaving her way through crowds of people, then slipping discreetly out. She rounded the house, jogging despite the fact that her slim heels were sinking into the well-manicured lawn.
She rounded the corner and checking all around her, smoothly jumped up, landing on top of a gardening shed, which was right under the window of Rodney Delaney's home office. If anyone would happen to walk by right now, or simply glance outside in her general direction, it would be interesting trying to explain how she managed to end up on top of a fifteen foot high roof in a six inch heels and a royal blue silk dress, and not getting a spot on said dress in the process. Max smoothed her skirt as she crouched down to pick the lock of the window. It was a Mickey Mouse lock really, and took Max all of five seconds to pick the lock, and but the wires so the alarm system wouldn't sound. She pushed the heavy widow up and slid into the room, rolling as she landed. She quickly shut the window, scanning the area around the lawn, making sure no one had spotted her.
When a light turned on behind her, she whirled.
"I always thought you looked good in blue." Logan said with a mischievous grin.
A/N: I bet I am going to be getting some intersting reviews for that cliffhanger. Hmmm...ya'll get Max's reaction tomorrow.
