-Part 3
-You know you're in love when the hardest thing to say is goodbye.

"Um, I better be going," Alec, said nervously. "Yeah," Max nodded. Alec turned around and slowly walked away not wanting to look back. 'I guess love really does suck!' Alec thought finally turning the corner out of Max's site.
Max just stood there for a moment. She didn't want to go home and be alone, but she didn't want to go to Terminal City and talk to Joshua. There was no place left to go since the Space needle was temporally out of use since the city was working on it.
Not knowing where she was headed Max got on her Ninja and drove off. Only seconds after she left Logan stuck his head out to see if Max or Alec was still there.
Alec took out his keys for his apartment when he heard a noise from inside. Quickly he opened the door and what he saw shocked him. "Max?" he asked stunned. "What are you doing here?" Max was sitting on the couch looking down at her shoes. "I- I- I don't know," Max answered not wanting to look up. "Ah after we uh, you know. Kissed. Well like I don't know it felt. strange." Max didn't want to take her eyes off the ground afraid of what she might see in his eyes misty green eyes.
Alec walked toward her not sure of what to say. "Is that a good thing. or a bad thing?" he asked bringing her chin up to get her to look at him. "I don't know, what do you think?" Max questioned finally looking deeply into his eyes unable to look down again. "Well I for one think it's a good thing," Alec answered calmly. Max grinned slightly as Alec moved closer toward her to softly kiss her on the lips but before doinging he stopped. "But I don't want to be the one to start the kiss all the time!" Alec warned. "Fine," Max then kissed him. Not pulling away or stopping they opened the door to Alec's room and slamming it shut behind them leaving a trail of cloths.

The next morning when Max woke up she realized she wasn't in her bed. She turned around and saw Alec staring back at her. "Hey sleepy head," Alec smiled. "How long where you watching me?" Max asked smiling. "About an hour and it was all worth staying up for," Alec answered.
Max got up using one of her blankets as a toga and grabbed her cloths she headed toward the bathroom. When Max came out dully dressed she found Alec getting some cereal. It was a Saturday so no hurry to get to work. "No work, No hurry!" Alec said happily.
All of a sudden Max's beeper goes off after she checks it the look of disappointment is on her face which Alec noticed. "What's up? If Normals bringing you in I'm sure I could find a way of getting you to stay here with me," he grinned but when she didn't respond Alec was pretty sure who paged her.
"It's Logan, he told me to go to his place but call first because he found out some Transgenics have been captured!" Every time they're having a good time Logan ruined it. Alec knew how much Max cared about transgenics, after all Max was the one to free everyone from Manticore. So she would always think something like if it weren't for her they would have never gotten captured. She felt responsible if any of them got hurt.
"I can't call," she blurted out ashamed. A tear rolled down her smooth skin dark skin.
"I'll call him and I'll go with you!" Alec replied as he headed toward the phone. Max watched Alec dialing, pausing before every number. "Hello Logan. It's Alec!" By the tone of his voice Logan sounded annoyed. "What do you want? Did you steel Max's pager?" Logan snapped. "No she's here with me and we'll be there soon!" Without letting Logan say anything else. He headed to get his and Max's coat, and then started toward the door. "What about breakfast?" Max asked. "The Transgenics are more important!" Alec replied. "Wait!" Max said. Alec stopped and turned around. Max kissed him. When they pulled away they both smiled and headed out.

Max was about to turn the doorknob before Alec stopped her. "We don't want to run into anything else!" Alec warned knocking on the door. 10 seconds later the door swung open. "Come on in!" Logan said uncomfortably. He led them to the living room and sat on a one-person chair. Alec went to sit on the couch across from Logan and Max walked behind the couch and played with Alec's Hair.
"So what's up? What do we do? Where do we go?" Alec rushed trying to get everything over with. "Sector 6, a big brown building on folk St. As far as I know White is not there!" Logan responded a little annoyed. "Ok!" Alec got up and Max fallowed close behind. "Wait!" Logan yelled stopping them. "First I need to know the truth!" Max looked at Alec, he nodded showing he was all right with her telling Logan. "What I said to you was a lie, and Alec never knew about it either," Max responded. "Wait what do you mean was?" Logan asked. "Take a guess!" Alec argued. The look in Logan's eyes showed pain. "How could you?" Max was starting to get upset and Alec noticed. "Ok back off buddy, it's you who slept with Asha right after she told you! And she was only trying to protect you so leave Max alone!" Alec turned around leading Max out before Logan could say anything else.

They finally made it to the destination but stopped 3 blocks from the area so no one would see them. Max and Alec parked their Ninja's in a bush close by. "So do kind do you think this transgenic is? X5? X7? Nomilie?" Alec guessed.
"Haven't got a clue," Max answered back. When they got they got to the building the watched behind a parked car. "So how should we do this?" Max asked watching the guard though the glass door with her enhanced sight. "We could take him if he's not a familiar," Alec assured.
"Nah he's not. Since White has a place in the Agency I could tell who they are by the way they dress and look!" Max replied. They looked at each other and smiled. "Time to kick some ass!" Having the advantage of their enhanced speed they opened the doors and knocked the guard unconscious by both punching him in the face at the same time. "Nice!" Alec smiled. They ran upstairs and found what looked like a single jail ceil. Inside was someone who Alec recognized in an instant.
"Biggs!" Alec called to the transgenic. Biggs was a friend to Alec. They knew each other back at Manitcore and also did some missions together. Biggs looked up and smiled at the sight of a familiar face. "Chit chat later we got to get you out!" Max warned. She took two pins from her pocket and picked the lock to the cage with it. "That was too easy!" Alec said confused. There was a loud bang and Alec fell to the ground where a puddle of blood began to form. Behind him was Ames white holding his gun right at them.
