The sign at the front of the building said Warner's Sports Equipment
Warehouse. The supposedly 'abandoned' Warner's warehouse was swarming with
guards.
"Maybe Logan was on to something." Alec whispered. "Only covert government operations are stupid enough to post 20 guards outside a warehouse that's supposed to be empty." Max nodded her agreement as they easily slipped through the guards. "Or post guards that easy."
Inside the warehouse there were boxes and boxes of baseball bats, hockey sticks and various other pieces of sports equipment that had been left when the warehouse was abandoned. " I don't see any squirrels." Said Alec after a thorough investigation of the warehouse. "We should get going. There's nothing to see here."
"Just let me check my messages first." Max said.
Alec wandered over to a crate and leaned against it. "Deal with it Max." He said "Logan's a nut. Not just a nut but a really cracked one. I mean really…Squirrel assassins?" It was that same instant that Alec heard the scratching of claws on wood and looked up to see hundreds of squirrels raining down on him.
"Shit!" he cried "Max get a baseball bat" He attempted to protect himself from the falling rodents but how does one fight a squirrel? He managed to kill around 40 before the squirrels swarmed him and Alec was lost in a ball of roiling fur. Muffled shouts of "Max! Max!" wafted from somewhere in the middle of the squirrels but Max wasn't paying attention. She was fixated on her new cell phone and any attempt to get her attention was futile. With the last reserves of his super human strength Alec reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone.
Max's cell phone rang and she gave a yelp of glee and answered it. " Hello?"
"A little help here please?" Alec's voice yelled through scarlet.
"Hey Alec look at this. My cell phone has a digital camera built in. Say cheese." Alec threw one of the squirrels that was biting his ear against the wall and glared at Max. The cell phone flashed and took a picture.
" Now Max! Get a baseball bat!"
" Alec will you just calm down?"
" Calm down? You're not the one covered in squirrel assas…" before he could finish one of the squirrels decided that Alec's mouth would be an interesting place to visit. He put his little claws on Alec's teeth and shoved his head inside. Alec gagged as the whiskers ticked his throat. Max snapped another picture with her cell phone and pulled a bat from an open crate.
"Time to play ball boys." She said. Alec kicked a squirrel off his legs and it went flying. Max wound up and hit the flying bundle of fur and claws as it hurtled towards her.
"Home run!" She yelled and Alec kicked another.
" I think I have squirrel pee all over my pants." Alec complained as they zoomed away on Max's bike leaving the burning warehouse behind them. The bike screeched to a halt.
" Off!" Max ordered.
"What? What did I do?" Alec asked confused
"Take off your pants."
" Max?"
"Unless you want to walk home! How dare you defile my baby like that." She said patting the seat of her Ninja." Alec hesitated. "I said take them off."
"Max…" Alec, said desperately.
"Do it!"
"Fine you asked for it!" Alec dropped his pants to reveal…
"TIGHTY WHITIES!?" Max laughed.
"Hey. I just haven't got around to doing laundry this week. They were all I had left."
"It's still something no one should ever see."
" Hey! I've never had any complaints before, and besides you should be grateful. I was seriously considering going commando today."
" Thanks for the picture. Now get on."
With that they set off. Max driving and Alec holding on behind her in his leather jacket and tighty whitie underwear.
Before the bike even stopped outside Joshua's Alec jumped of and sprinted to the shower. He emerged half an hour later, pink from the scrubbing. He was brushing his teeth and was standing shirtless with his hair messy and damp. Max noticed the long scratch that went from his collarbone to his navel. She couldn't resist. She reached out and traced it with her finger.
"Let me see." She said. The toothbrush froze and eyebrows raised. Her other hand slid around his back and found more scratches. His skin was hot and felt like velvet over stone. The connection was electric.
"How did you get scratches here?" She asked, " You were wearing your jacket."
"The squirrels went under it like this." Alec replied and the hand not holding the toothbrush slid under her shirt and up her silky back. Joshua came into the room and They froze.
"I should probably call Logan" Max said pulling away.
As soon as she entered Logan's place Max noticed the atmosphere. The soft music playing in the background, the rose petals strewn across the floor and the white candles that flickered from every possible perch. The table was set for two and in the middle of it was a huge box wrapped in gold foil. Logan emerged behind her.
" A bottle of pre-pulse champange?" He asked.
"Logan what is all this?"
"It's dinner Max."
"Logan we broke up. I can't do this…"
"Just for old times sake Max." Max smiled. She really did love Logan and she missed these dinners.
"All right." she agreed. " For old times sake."
Logan nodded to the present in the center of the table. "Open it."
Max ripped off the foil and opened the box. Inside the box was a smaller box.
"Let's have some pasta before you open the box." Logan suggested. The evening progressed and between each course Max would open the present always to find a smaller box inside. Max thought that she should be finding the whole affair very enchanting but it felt emotionally empty. Nothing like that moment she had had with Alec.
A lump settled in the pit of her stomach as the box reached the size of what could only be a ring box. Logan looked on expectantly as Max ripped open the paper. Then she saw what the present contained and gasped. "What the hell is that!" and dropped the present on the ground like it was on fire.
