Disclaimer: DA, not mine. But I did write in to Fox since they cancelled
Girls Club and asked what show will fill the slot and kinda suggested..re-
runs of DA until they could make season 3. If you want to join the fight

Author's Note: Yeah! I'm actually on 7 people's favorite author list! Maybe for my other stories.dunno. But this means I gotta write even better. I'm pleased that I've gotten 16 reviews for my 2 chapters, though 20 would have been ideal, but I'm not complaining. Now I know there are some people out there who read my stories and don't review, but please, I need you to! I want to know really how many people actually read my stuff. C'mon if I read one of your stories you know I'd review. As always I'm gonna demand 10 reviews. I don't know when I can update again because I start swim, and I have a project due this week, but hey, I'll try as long as you do your part. If you are a new to my stories, please feel free to check out my complete one Not Himself and it's sequel Green Eggs & Ham. Also, does anyone know a good place to host a web site? I'm dying to make a DA one. Since it'd be my first time I need some help, volunteers? Dude, I just realized the 1st chapters title didn't show. Any how it was called Cat and Mouse. Hope you enjoy the chapter, tell me what you think! By the way, stars mean scene change.
Dedication: To my friend ever since I began posting my works on this site, SistaSista. I hope to receive reviews from you soon!
Ch 3: Invisible
At work Max made a big deal of telling everyone how Alec was imagined he was being stalked by some invisible stranger. On the outside Alec laughed with Max and everyone else. Surely his 'stalker' was a figment of his imagination. But secretly, he worried and grew upset that Max was taking him lightly. Then again, she never took him seriously. He was always the screw up, the source where everything went wrong, the embodiment of why she and Logan weren't together.
After work he went home and ate some macaroni and cheese that Joshua was so proud of making. He wouldn't have cared that the meal was hardly filling, except for the fact that Max showed up halfway through it. They stared at each other as she stood in the doorway. She broke the silence first. "So are you still being stalked by some mysterious psycho?" she taunted, laughing at him.
Without saying a word Alec got up from the table and walked down to the dark basement. Max shrugged at Joshua who was looking at her quizzically. "Little Fella and Alec fight?" he questioned, punching his right hand into the open palm of his left, signifying his words.
"No Josh. That is called male PMS." She said loudly, emphasizing the words so Alec would hear. She sat down next to Joshua and ate her meal with a tall glass of milk. When she finished she descended the stairs to discover Alec pounding his life story out on the keys of the battered piano. There was no light on as he played.
Max listened as some measures were calm and peaceful, other times he struck chords passionately as if there were some conflict or inner fight, and sometimes the melody was haunting and somber. Woven together he created an intriguing story. She clapped when he finished. "So what do you call that piece?" she asked, walking toward him. She realized Alec was unaware of her presence until just now. He was caught off guard. His facial expression gave him away, his eyes were wide, and his face flushed pink. But it quickly changed to a scowl.
"I call it, 'Get the heck out of my way, Max'." he spat out as he snatched his coat from the piano bench and walked past her. She stood there, unmoving for a second, deciding what to do. She let out an angry sigh and rolled her eyes before storming after him. Max followed him upstairs. She reached the top of the stairs just in time to see him slam the door shut. The whole frame of the house shook.
"What's eating him?" Joshua questioned turning to Max. They heard a motorcycle start up and pull out of the driveway. Josh ran to the door and opened it.
"Beats me." Max said pretending not to care as she watched Alec disappear in the distance. "Maybe he needed to get some Midol." She shook her head and turned back to Joshua who was holding up some lumpy charcoaled chocolate chip cookies.
"Dessert?" the canine asked smiling.

The streets were mainly deserted except for a few homeless standing near an open fire trying to warm their hands. The chill of the November wind increased as he rode faster, the wind making his jacket flap in the breeze. Fifteen minutes later he reached his destination. He parked his Ninja and got off walking toward the Space Needle. He stopped dead in his tracks and looked up at the enormous structure, making it seem taller. He sighed and continued walking; every now and then glancing back to make sure Max hadn't followed him. He ascended the stairs, listening carefully to his footsteps and breathing; satisfied he was alone. He walked down to the edge of the Space Needle and sat down.
He couldn't believe how much he put up with. Sometimes he wondered why he even bothered staying in Seattle. It wasn't like there was anything there holding him back. After all, it wasn't like he....loved Max.
He scolded himself for the second time that day. There wasn't a chance for him. She loved Logan, end of story. But still...He stood up trying to sort out his emotions. "Curse you Max!" he yelled. "Why did I have to fall for you?!" he screamed, his voice lowering as he finished the last words. He sat back down, and then he heard it. Footsteps coming up behind him.
