Author's Note: If you haven't heard because you don't read Green Eggs and Ham, I won't be able to update weekdays anymore because I want to get better at tennis to get on a college team. So I have to put in an hour and forty-five minutes of tennis 6 days a week. And I have to go to swim practice for 4 days a week for an hour and a half. Then I have homework and my favorite tv shows to watch. So that leaves only Fri-Sun to update. Sorry that I had to drop the bad news on you. So if you just can't live without reading my writings, click on my author's name and read Not Himself and it's sequel Green Eggs and Ham. It should keep you on your toes until I update. Leave reviews if you read this chapter or whatever chapter cause I like to know you read it and what you thought and if I should continue. You know..the whole shebang. On a different topic, this is the chapter that will answer your questions. And you'll learn that if you had paid closer attention to the previous chapter and how Ben reacted to Alec when he said something you'd have already understood his problem with Alec. But read this chapter and you'll get it. (hint: he says it right after he kicks Alec flat on his stomach). So maybe you'll pay closer attention. Sorry that it has taken so long to get to this point, but I need background information and you can't pressure my muses into making me have an epiphany. Also, if you have a web page you'd like me to list on mine, I'd be glad to do so. So e-mail me. Also forgive my dry humor. Peace. Out.

6. Mission: Accomplished Alec clung onto the thin rim of metal with both hands, the wind making his legs sway. Desperately he tried to get up, the will to survive made him persevere. He was sweating from all the strain and struggled as he pulled himself up so his arms where at a 90 degree angle. He carefully lifted a leg on the slanted surface of the Space Needle, but it slid right off and pulled him down, causing him to lose grip with his right hand. He looked down to remind himself of the need to get back up; the desire to live flowed in his blood. Determined, he reached up for the edge of the Space Needle that was a few feet above his head. Deliberately he smacked his hand on the rim and held on.
Ben casually walked to the edge of the Needle and stared down at Alec as he stepped on top of his fingers. Alec wanted to cringe in pain, but refused to let Ben have the satisfaction. He had been taught better. But his ten extra years of training could not help him now.
"You know Alec, I wouldn't have to kill you if you just minded your own business and stuck to hookers. But no, that was just a vain attempt to try and ease the pain and emptiness you felt inside. You wanted so bad to tell her, but she pushed you farther away, trying to deny her feelings. Too bad I didn't see your motives earlier!" he bellowed, scolding himself. " I have to do this, to save her from making a mistake. She's better than you, and deserves someone better." He said his voice slightly softening as he remembered their childhood memories. Alec decided to act. He grabbed Ben's ankle, causing him to fall on his butt. But Ben moved quickly and turned the situation in his favor. He placed his palm over Alec's fingers. "It's time for you to die, Alec." He whispered.
He dug his nails into Alec's skin, above his knuckles causing him to bleed. He used his palms to lift Alec's fingertips off of the metal and threw his hands off. Emotionless he watched as Alec seemingly floated in air, his hand was outstretched as he looked up at Ben. It seemed as if he wanted Ben to grab hold of his wrist and stop him from falling, but Ben could do nothing, nor did he want to help. He was just a soldier completing his mission and taking out the enemy. He did what he was trained to do. Despondently he watched Alec crash into the ground. He turned away and walked down the stairs. He knew it would take a lot more than a fall to kill Alec. Cats always landed on their feet, so that meant that Alec was still alive.
Moments later Ben emerged from the base of the Space Needle and walked over to Alec's limp, unconscious body. Void of emotion he lifted his body and stuffed it in a trash bag before dumping it the trunk. He knew exactly where to dispose the body, in the Puget Sound. There he could drift to Canada. If he even made it that far. Ben got out of the car and looked around before heading to the back of his car. He lifted Alec's body from the trunk and took it out of the plastic bag before he tossed it into the Puget Sound. Satisfied he smiled to himself and saluted the floating body. He waited until it floated upstream and out of sight before he got in his car and drove away.
Don't worry, Maxie. You're safe now.
It was three a.m., and everyone was asleep. But Max, was sleepless in Seattle.
"Cindy, what do I do?" Max asked in despair.
"Well, Boo, you did tell him he was spooked by an invisible stalker..That means there's only one thing to do. Apologize." O.C. said and sipped her warm milk. "Now forgive me, but some of us don't have that feline DNA and need to catch some Z's. See ya in the morning, Sugar."
Max sighed and stood up from the table and dove into her bed. If this was the only way to save her friendship then it had to be done. She couldn't stand not being able to talk to him. But if she didn't keep him at a distance she'd let go of Logan, her only security. As she fell asleep his face drifted in her mind.
At eight a.m. and a small fishing ship passed through the Puget Sound heading north to Canada. "Captain! There's..there's something in the water!" a man shouted.
The captain rolled his eyes. "Yes, that would be why we're searching for fish out here."
"I know that, I mean there's a body out there!" he called.
"What?!" he ran to the rail of the ship and looked over. "You're right!" he yelled back to his shipmate. "Hello down there! Can you hear me?" he asked with his hands cupped to his mouth.
Alec could hear someone calling out to him. He was so cold. He struggled to open his eyes and looked up toward the voice.
"Hello??" the voice questioned again.
"Help me!" Alec called hoarsely.
Moments later Alec was aboard the ship and wrapped in a blanket.
"Son, what happened to you? And..who ARE you?"
Alec shivered and looked at him, his soaking hair dripped in his eyes. "I- I don't know."
