HERE'S CHAPTER THREE. MORE REVIEWS PLEASE.
Max slumped down on the chair lazily. She hated being miserable.
"What's the matter little fella?" Joshua asked as he watched her sad expression. Max looked miserable the minute she walked in.
Mac shrugged her shoulders. She didn't feel like talking but it was mean to ignore Joshua.
"Do you know where Alec is?" She asked as she swung her legs over the arm of the chair.
Joshua averted his eyes back to the book that he was reading. "No," He said a little too quietly. Max narrowed her eyes. Something was up. He was hiding something.
"Joshua, what are you not telling me?" Max demanded, getting up abruptly and standing over Joshua with her hands on her hips and her foot tapping on the floor impatiently.
"Joshua promised Alec not to tell. It's a secret." Joshua replied innocent.
Max sighed sharply. Great. He didn't want her to find him.
"When did he say he was coming back, big fella?" Max asked. She was hoping Alec would be back soon.
"Yesterday." Josh answered.
"Yesterday?" She echoed worriedly. "Josh, why didn't you tell me? Alec could be in big trouble." Something was definitely wrong. If Alec said that he would be back yesterday, then he should be home by now. He would never lie to Joshua about that.
"Alec said not to tell Max. Didn't want little fella to worry. Didn't want Maxie to think that Alec is a screw up." Joshua's last words stung. It was true. She had always said that Alec was a screw up. She never knew how much that affected him.
"Did he call to say that he wasn't going to make it on time?" She continued to ask worriedly.
"No. Alec was supposed to come home yesterday. He promised. Alec always keeps his promises." Joshua answered softly.
This was starting to worry Max. Where the hell was Alec? There could be a million reasons why he wasn't home yet. He could have had car trouble. He met a girl. Or he could have gotten hurt. Shot maybe.
"Oh God." Max thought. She hoped he wasn't hurt.
"Josh, you have to tell me where Alec is. He could be in big trouble and we might not know it." She declared. Max didn't want to panic. It wasn't like her but somehow; when it came to Alec she can never control her damn emotions. "You don't want Alec to get hurt, do you?" She added.
Joshua shook his head slightly. Worry crossed his face. He was contemplating on whether he should tell Max or not. He had promised Alec. He wasn't going to say anything to Max. But what if Max was right? What if he was really hurt? He couldn't take that risk.
Josh sighed heavily and told Max everything that he knew. He hoped Alec would forgive him for this betrayal. After all, Josh was thinking about Alec's safety.
"I'm going to kick your ass if you're okay, Alec." She whispered to herself as she drove her ninja outside Seattle city limits.
What was he thinking?
What the hell possessed his stupid little head to go and search for a former Manticore scientist just to get the damn antigen for the virus bitch that kept her and Logan apart?
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
She wanted to hurt him for worrying her. For even bothering over something that Max had stopped worrying about a long time ago, despite the fact that she still acts like she cares.
She wouldn't know what to do if he was hurt. She hoped he wasn't. She hoped he was having the time of his life in some bar with some girl whom Max thinks doesn't deserve him. It would be better than what she was thinking of right now.
It would be better than him being dead.
