Previously on Beeper Wars:
Back at Max's. Max pushed Alec down onto her bed. Teasingly she unzipped her catsuit inch by inch. Revealing a lacy black bra and panties. Slowly deliberately she poured oil into her hands and slid them smoothly along Alec's chest. Alec moaned as she kneaded his firm muscles. She climbed on top of him and slid her scantily clad body along his. Her hands glided along Alec's arms and their fingers intertwined. The file fell to the floor unnoticed. Alec ran his hands up Max's back as she ran her fingers through his hair. * This was definitely worth it. * Alec thought.
Logan watched the scene in a haze of red. It was time to up the ante.
And now we continue with our saga.
Max leaned close to nuzzle Alec's neck. Her hands found his barcode and gently stroked it. In response Alec's hand rose to Max's barcode. There was a flash of light inside her. Max raised her head and looked down into Alec's seagreen eyes. What see saw there fascinated her she saw herself reflected there. She dipped lower to get a closer look. His gaze was penetrating her soul. Their lips touched in a feather kiss. Max felt more awake and alive than she had in a long time. She was blissfully aware of everything around her. It was like being with Alec rose her to an entirely new state of consciousness. Max felt like she had been asleep her whole life and was finally waking up. Alec pulled her to him. Intent on crushing her lips to his. The descent was painfully slow and seemed to hover, forgotten by time. Max could hear Original Cindy's footsteps as she headed towards Max's door. *No! * Max screamed in her mind as she heard Cindy's hand on the doorknob. *One second longer, just one second! * They were so close they were breathing the same air.
Then Cindy's voice shattered the moment. "Whoa! Did I miss something here?"
" It's not what it looks like." Max said pulling away from Alec. " I was just giving him an oil rub."
Cindy raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Just giving him an oil rub? Since when do you give Alec oil rubs."
" It's a long story…"
" Max said that if I dressed up in a gladiator outfit and let Normal rub me, that she would give me an oil rub." Alec cut in.
"Thanks Alec." Max said sarcastically
"This is getting Waaaaaaay too kinky for OC. I think I'm going to go powder my nose." Cindy said as she turned to leave.
"Oh we're finished. We have a busy day anyways don't we Alec?"
"Yes we do." Said Alec. " Now I think that since we're already on an oil theme going we should start with the boiling oil."
"Good plan."
" I don't even want to know what you two are up to. See ya at work boo?"
"Tell Normal that we won't be in today because I'm helping Alec train for his next fight."
Max poured the last of the canola oil into the pot, placed it on the stove and covered it with the lid. Then she joined Alec at the kitchen table in making up a list of possible ways to destroy the beeper. 20 minutes later, when they were positive the oil was as hot as it was going to get. Alec retrieved the beeper from the bedroom. He chortled gleefully as he held his victim in his hand, plunged it into the bubbling liquid, and slammed the lid down.
Logan who was working voraciously on some microphones and sound transmitters glanced up to see Alec smiling at the camera before the screen went dark. *What the heck is going on? * Logan thought. If it didn't clear up he was going to call Max.
"Do you think it's dead?" Alec whispered after half an hour. " Shhhhh!" Max reprimanded. "It can hear you."
"There is no way that thing survived." Alec said " It's deep fried. We are going to eat it like it's a french fry."
" It has been silent for a really long time" Max mused "Maybe…" She got her tongs and gloves ready and put her hand on the lid of the pot. Then she heard the sound. The sound of a beep. A beep strangled and submerged but still very much alive.
"It survived!" Max gasped and pulled the pager from the boiling oil.
"I think it actually looks better than it did when it went in." Alec said unhappily.
"Much shinier" Max agreed. " What's next on the list?"
Alec consulted the list in front of him. "Sledgehammer."
Alec stood in the middle of Max's apartment with the sledgehammer raised over his head. His well defined muscles clearly visible through his shirt. Max was having a hard time keeping herself from thinking about how those same muscles had felt under her fingers. Alec made a downward blow and came in contact with the beeper.
Logan wondered what the hell Alec was up to. He saw Alec with a sledgehammer and then the beeper was falling through space. Unfamiliar faces crowded around. Then Logan recognised them as the people that lived below Max. Alec's face appeared through a whole far up in the ceiling. *Maybe he was becoming delusional. He had after all been awake for 24 hours. * " I really need to finish this audio feed." He muttered to himself.
"Ok" Max, said. " So, so far we have immersed the beeper in boiling oil and nothing happened. Beat it with a sledgehammer and put a hole in my floor. Flushed it down the toilet, but it got stuck, the toilet backed up and flooded the apartment. We broke the chainsaw and grated the cheese grater and you tell me the thing doesn't even have a scratch!"
"Have you forgotten the C-4 incident so quickly?" Alec replied. " I mean we did leave a sizeable crater in the parking lot and set off every car alarm in a 10 mile radius."
"So what else is left on the list?"
"Well there is the classic space needle drop, running it over with a train and my personal favourite making Logan eat it."
" We are not going to make Logan eat it."
"Normal?" Max shook her head "Sketchy?" Alec added hopefully.
"The only person who even has a remote chance of eating this thing is you or possibly White."
Alec crossed Logan's name off the list and replaced it with White. Alec glanced at his watch.
"Next train comes in 15 minutes. Let's get moving"
Logan was all ready. Now all he needed to do was plant the audio transmitters on Max and Alec. He grabbed his computer so that he could watch while he drove and headed to his car. He glanced at his watch. He had only been awake for 29 hours and 47 minutes. He was still safe to drive.
The beeper was sitting innocently on the traintracks. Max and Alec had placed it there and were now sitting in front row seats at the top of a billboard. Alec could hear the train coming and rubbed his hands in glee as he anticipated the demise of the despised machine. The train hit the beeper at a breakneck speed turning it into a dangerous projectile. A dangerous projectile that was heading straight for Alec's mid section. Alec flipped backwards off the billboard. The beeper barely skimmed his torso and sliced his shirt cleanly up the middle like a razor blade. Alec landed softy and very deliberately walked over and picked up the beeper.
"You thought you got me that time! Didn't you?" Alec said cockily too the beeper. " But I suspected that you might try something like this so I came prepared." Alec produced a tube of super glue from his jacket pocket. "Hasta la vista baby!"
Alec walked to the track and superglued the beeper into place. "There is no way it's getting away this time." He assured Max.
Logan was positive he was delusional as he watched the train hurtling towards the beeper. He blinked shaking his head. *I really need to get some coffee * He thought to himself and pulled into a doughnut shop. The doughnut shop had a TV mounted high on the wall that was displaying some crappy post pulse sit-com. He ordered a coffee and 6 doughnuts and sat down to read the newspaper. He was only on his second bite of the third doughnut when a special newsbreak pre-empted the sitcom. "A freight train carrying what was reported to be thousands of squirrels has derailed near Seattle minutes ago." A blonde anchorwoman reported into the camera. "It is too soon to tell the extent of the damage but several squirrels have been listed in critical condition and have been rushed to hospital. The cause of the accident is not known. Now back to regular programming."
*Wow * Logan thought * I REALLY need to get some more coffee. This staying awake thing is hard. *
Alec walked calmly through the train rubble. Listening for a sound. Then he heard it. The chirp of the beeper. The beeper was sitting calmly where he had left it. The safety glue had not survived the onslaught of the train but the beeper appeared exactly the same as always. Alec picked it up and put it in his pocket. There was something warm and fuzzy in there. He pulled it out and came face to face with a squirrel. He looked around. There were hundreds of squirrels. "Max!" He cried. Then he saw her covered head to toe in squirrel assassins.
"Do you think they are following us?" Max asked as they sped off on the Ninja.
"Not that I can tell. I think we got them all." Alec replied.
"Good! Because I don't ever think I'll get the smell of squirrel pee out of my…" Max abruptly shut her mouth.
"Off the bike!" Alec yelled. " How could you do that to your baby?"
A/n Thankyou to everyone who reviewed and gave suggestions for ways to destroy the beeper. You guys are great.
