CHAPTER: New worker.





Max and Alec walked in the room and sat on a sofa that was in a corner. Lana looked over at them. They were playing with each other hands. Max had her head leaned against his shoulders. She rolled her eyes. Why did Alec love Max anyway?

" Ok young lady you're free to go," the Lab tech said. He placed a sample of her blood in a freezer. " Come back in two days."

" Ok, I'll get the money to you," she said putting on her jacket. " What's that thing you gave me called?"

" Ah- its called AD521"

Max was listening. She was hoping that she could get a supplier of it that wouldn't cost them so much. " Lana do you need a ride home?"

" Yes thanks," she said sweetly. " I'm real sorry 'bout everything."

" That's okay." Max sated.

" I was hoping that we could maybe be friends."

Alec gave Max a look. " I guess so," Max said. She didn't want to be rude. Alec rolled his eyes. She was hoping that Lana didn't see that.

" Why did you have to have to say yes?" he said taking off his jacket when they walked in his apartment. " I'm telling you she is bad news."

" Well what did you want me to do tell her, no? Then she might go all ballistic."

" Well you could have told her something, I mean anything." He said crawling in his bed.

" Well Alec, you'll just have to live with it. You can't like everyone." She said going in the bed after him.

" I just don't want her to be part of my life, she creepy."

" I know why you think she's creepy. It's just because you slept her. Well she didn't feel anything for you. I'm sorry to say this but she was just using you. So if she doesn't care why should you?"

He took a deep breath; " Because--" he didn't want to tell Max what he felt when he was with her. She wasn't just using him. He knew it.

" You see it's not so bad. Now get some sleep, you have work in the morning."

" You might as well take a bath with your blow dryer."

" Alec sleep."

" That's another thing, I wouldn't need so much sleep if she didn't suck me dry."

" She wouldn't have sucked you dry if you didn't let her."

He had lost there, Max was right. Why was she defending her anyway?

Max and Alec walked into Jam Pony fifteen minutes late. As soon as they entered they were being harassed by Normal.

" By boy is back, finally someone with competence," he said reaching to hug Alec who moved away. " You missy, you're fired." He said now addressing Max.

" What? Why?"

" I sent you just to drop something off for him, you took that as an invitation to stay away from work."

" She was helping me," Alec said. He knew Normal wouldn't fire Max as long as he asked him not to.

" I'm sorry but I already hired someone to take her place," Normal said pointing at his new messenger.

" What the f***" Alec said when he saw who it was. Lana was in the back talking with Sketchy. " Why did you hire her?"

" Because she seemed reliable and hard working unlike your friend here."

" She's not what she seems, I know her," Alec said. " Max, tell him."

" Normal I need this job," she said. " I mean you can use one extra messenger incase someone gets sick again."

He thought about it. His workers did have a tendency to be plagued with some kind of sickness. " Okay then missy you can keep your job." He walked away to his dispatch counter.

" You see what did I tell you? She's already causing trouble."

" Alec, looking for a job is not causing trouble. Besides this way I could keep an eye on her."

" She's looking for your Job," he whispered to her. Lana was walking over to them.

" Hey, I didn't know you guys worked here." Lana said

" Surprise," Alec said sarcastically. Max gave him a look.

" Well at least I have friends who work here," she said smiling.

She was already dragging him in her and Max's "friendship." He wanted nothing to do with her.

" Alec, Normal said you had to show me around the sectors," she said still smiling sweetly.

" Excuse me?" He wasn't sure if he heard right.

" I'll show you around the sectors. Alec has to talk to Sketchy about why he doesn't have a door." Max said.

" I already gave him a reason," she said. She wanted to get Alec alone. She knew if he would just talk to her, she could gain his trust. " So Alec can show me around."

" No Max will show you around, I have a bone to pick with Normal."

Alec walked away, and left Max and Lana standing there. He walked over to Normal, " Why did you tell Lana to ask me to show her around? I basically told you that I don't like her."

" I told her to ask Max."

So she was lying, why wasn't he surprised? " Oh and try to keep her away form Max too, I don't think Max sees her for what she really is."

Had his golden boy gone nuts? What was it about this little girl he seemed so afraid of and why shouldn't Max be around her, " I think Max can handle herself against Big Bad Lana."

" Just keep her away from sectors I'm running okay." If he couldn't get him to stop her from fraternizing with Max then he could at least keep her away from himself.

" Okay boss," Normal said in shock. Maybe he was treating him too good.

" Okay," he said and then walked away. He took up some packages and walked out the door. He saw that Max's Bike was already gone. He just wished Max would listen to him. Why did she have to be so stubborn?

I now have the whole thing in my head it's just to write it down.
