Max's POV:
br
It had taken her about two and a half minutes to formulate her plan. There was no way in hell she would actually agree to do something Alec would want to do. That, however, didn't mean she couldn't go by herself, on her own accord. That was in fact the only reason she had known Alec had pulled the bank job. She had followed him. As much as she hated to admit it to herself, she did miss the fun Alec so clearly had. She didn't really know why she had stopped. Maybe it was Logan. She quickly justified everything by telling herself she was running damage control. If she couldn't verbally stop Alec from being himself, she could at least help him out when he got caught.
br
The next night she followed Alec to the museum, carefully remaining unnoticed. If he caught her, he would win. There was no way in hell he was going to win anything from her. She watched as he scaled the side of the building with ease. 'He looked so graceful' she thought. Doing what he had been built to do. She didn't have time to dwell on this though. She ran the length of the field in front of the museum and using the same path Alec had, ascended the building in a timely fashion.
br
Stopping just as she reached the top, she looked over the ledge to make sure Alec wasn't looking back. Noticing he was preoccupied with cutting into the skylight, she ran over to the nearest ventilation tower and crouched behind it. 'What was taking him so long' she wondered. He seemed lost in thought almost, like he wasn't even paying attention to what he was doing.
br
That's when she heard it.
br
"I do."
br
'He does what?' what the hell was he talking about. The more time he wasted sitting there talking to himself the more likely he was to get caught. This was getting stupid. Resisting the urge to walk over there and smack him on the head, she peeked out again from around the tower. He was gone. He had made the final dissension into the museum. She rushed over to the skylight to make sure he got what he came for without setting any alarms off and that's when it happened. All of a sudden the lights were flicked on, and she saw Alec freeze.
br
'Crap' She knew this would happen. This is why she had come. As she was about to lower herself in through the broken skylight when she heard one of those voices she had nightmares about.
br
"Hello 494."
br
This was so not good. There was no way she could take all of them, even with Alec's help. Her best bet was to wait until they came out in the open. She would be more of a help to Alec if she waited for them outside. She just prayed he wouldn't get himself shot before that.
