CHAPTER: Weathered out.
" So naturally they cleared every thing out." Max dumped her body on Logan's couch. "Why do I even bother?"
" Well how was I to know that they'd do that?" Logan said innocently.
" We should be paid for this." Alec said pouting and taking a seat next to Max.
Logan laughed. " Why will I pay you, you just won the lottery."
The mission was unsuccessful; they didn't get any evidence to where Lydecker could be if he was alive at all. They went trough thick security only to see that they were guarding weapons.
" So what are you going to do with it?" Logan asked.
" What is it with you two?" Alec exited the apartment.
Max decided to follow him to see where he was going. She knew he was up to something and she had to find out what. She kept walking behind him making soft steps so he couldn't hear her.
Alec knew he was being followed, he turned around but he didn't see anyone. He realized that it had to be Max. * The only person that could follow a X5 without being seen was an X5.* he stopped dead in his track. " Max why are you following me."
* How the hell did he know? * She was moving like a mouse. " Who said I was following you."
" Well you're walking behind me and hiding every time I turn around, I think that qualifies a being followed."
" I was not following you, I was on my way to Crash." She lied.
" First of all, rain is going fall anytime now and secondly Crash is the other way."
She looked up at the sky, it was a little cloudy but it didn't look like rain was going to fall. " How do you know it's going to rain?"
" Because I just know."
" It's not going to rain."
It seemed like someone in heaven had just turn on a shower, rain suddenly stared pour down leaving her soaked in a few seconds.
"What did I say?" Alec smiled at his triumph. " Come, my apartment is only a block from here."

Alec handed Max a towel and took one and dried his hair. " So why were you following me?"
" What are you going to do with the money?" she asked matching the toughness of his question.
"Fine, I don't need to know anyway." He said turning on his TV. " You should get out of those clothes."
" What?"
" Gosh Max I mean put something else on." He pointed to his bedroom. " Borrow something and try not to get it dirty."
" I'm not staying here."
" You're going home in a storm?" he asked laughing.
" What storm?" She looked outside. It wasn't like a storm it was more like a hurricane. " How did you know?"
" Ok, ok I saw the weather forecast."
" So I guess I am staying." She went in his room and came out wearing an oversized T- Shirt and boxers. " I'll take the bed."
" Excuse you?"
" Well I'm the guest."
" But my back hurts." he said pouting. " And this couch is hard."
" You're gonna keep wining aren't you."
" You now it."
Max took a deep breath. " I'll take the right side," she said frowning.
Alec looked like Christmas came early. " Max I'm honored." " If your hand strays out of bounds once I'll make sure it's more than your back that hurts."
" Why do you always have to make threats?"
" Hey I'm just laying down the rules."

Alec looked at Max tuning from left to right; she was having a bad dream. " Max," he said shaking her lightly.
Max sprang up from her sleep and looked at the person who woke her. " Ben?". She sank back down under her covers when she realized what she said. She never told anyone but every time it rained she would have dreams with Ben in them, she couldn't tell why it happened but they came ever time it rained. " Sorry," she said feeling a bit embarrassed.
He looked at her under the sheets she was shivering, he wanted to hold her and tell her it was ok but he wasn't sure what she'd do if he did. " Are you ok?" he asked.
"I'm just a little cold." She was glad that he didn't ask her to talk about Ben.
" Can I.." He said softly. " Hold you."
She wasn't sure why she agreed but she was glad she did. She felt his arms around her; it made her feel safe and warm. She liked being in his arms; it had been a while since someone held her like that. " Thanks," she said.
He kissed her forehead lightly. " No problem," he said looking at her beautiful features. " Try to get some sleep."
Note: I know this has nothing to do with the title but I really don't know what Alec is planning to do with the money so I'm stalling it until I come up with something.
