Chapter 7: Lying From You
-
In the middle of the night, Max awoke to feel a presence in her room. She lay still, expecting her room for an intruder. Baffled, she saw none. Sighing, she closed her eyes and tried to fall back asleep.
But soon, she felt something breathing on her neck. She froze. Slowly turning around to see what was beside her, she noticed that their arm was holding her tightly.
Her face turned into bold anger as she saw who it was lying beside her. "Alec what the hell are you doing in my bed?!" Max yelled into his ear. Alec nearly fell off the bed, obviously surprised.
"What?" He yelled in alarm. "Who? Huh?" He was confused. Max punched him in the arm, "You asshole, your in my bed, with your arm around me. What the hell are you doing?"
The realization had dawned on him, "Oh." Was all he had managed to say. "Oh?" Max said angry. "Get the hell out of my bed!" She screeched.
Alec yawned, "You know, I'm actually pretty comfortable here." He said lying back down and closing his eyes. "Oh no you dont." Max said, "Your getting out of my room now!"
But all she got was the light snoring coming from Alec. Max felt like pulling her hair out, "Err." She yelled in anger. "You piss me off so bad Alec." She picked up her pillow and walked into the living room to sleep on the couch.
Alec grinned in satisfaction.
-
The next morning, Max hurriedly got ready and walked out, trying not to be seen by Alec. She wanted to go to Jampony by herself, not with Alec. His occasional singing was enough to drive her mad.
Sliding out the door silently, Max hurriedly ran down the steps to her bike. Pedalling as fast as her legs would go, she finally had reached her destination.
Max grinned, nothing to it.
Walking into JP, she was 10 minutes early, so Normal had no reason to yell at her. She strolled over to her locker and pulled out a water bottle. Her day was great so far.
Grabbing some packages, Max was on her way towards her destination. But before she could make it out, she heard the light whistling coming from behind her.
Max stopped suddenly. "Hey Max, got here early too huh?" The cheerful voice of Alec's echoed through her ears.
Her eyes twitched, she wanted to scream. Slowly turning around, she looked at him, giving him a deadly glare. "Oh, sorry about last night. I just couldn't stand that couch another night." He said, grinning at her.
Alec knew how to push every one of her buttons. She inhaled and exhaled slowly, looking like she was about to go into seizeres. "I understand." She managed to say, her voice cool but shaky.
"You okay?" Alec asker her. Max nodded, "Great." She plastered on a fake smile and turned around, praying he wasn't going to ask her what she knew he was.
"Hey Max, hold up!" Alec called out. Max closed her eyes in dread. "Yes?" She asked coolly. "You got sector 3?" He asked her.
"Umm, nope sorry. Not today." She said. Actually, she did have sector 3, but it wasn't like she'd tell him that."
"Oh. Well alright then, see ya later." Max nodded and speed walked out of JP.
-
Later that day, after the annoyance of Alec and occasional Sketchy, Max rode her bike home through the cool, crisp air.
Praying Alec wouldn't be at her house, she walked in her apartment. "Anyone here?" She asked looking around the apartment. "OC, you home?" No answer. She paused, "Alec, you here?" She growled.
No answer. Max smiled in satisfaction. Finally, a day Alec-Free. He was a great guy and all, but damn, he could be annoying with his occasional whistling and singing. He was too cheerful.
Sitting down on the couch, hoping to have some rest from her stressful day, Max let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and layed on the couch, closing her eyes.
But within 5 minutes, her beeper went off. Max yelled in anger and picked it up, "Logan." She read aloud, "Just great."
She walked over to the door and put her shoes back on and sluggishly walked out the door on her way to Logans.

"You beeped?" Max asked walking through the door. "Yeah, got news that someone is holding Professor Kilman hostage. Not sure where, but I hear that they are trying to hack into his files and mine. And that's bad, very bad."
"Why?" Max asked confused. "Because if they get into all our files, they can find out where you are, or what you are. And a whole lot more. You can practically just throw your life down the drain if they get those files." Logan explained.
Max's face grew pale, "What will happen if they find out who I am?" She asked cautiously. Logan sighed, "The truth? Well, they find out where Ray is, and they find out where you are, and your siblings. Believe me, when you have most of those files, you can figure out almost anything. And, we have no idea who it is. Could be White, or Renfro."
Max huffed, rubbing her sweaty palms against her legs. "Shit, what do I have to do?"
Logan shrugged, "Search." Max nodded, "I can do that." Heading for the door, Logans last words stopped her, "Take Alec with you."
She had almost forgot. *Fuck!* Max thought, *What if it is Alec?*
The memories of that day came flooding back to her, drowning her thoughts. She had forgotten to save the Professor. He was right there, and she forgot to go back and help him. How could she?
Max ran a hand through her hair, this was terrible. "I can't take Alec with me." Max finally said. "Why not?" Logan asked, curious. "He uh.. He's sick. Very sick, and can't move."
He didn't know whether to believe her or not. Logan sighed, "Well is their anyone else that can go with you?" He asked. Thinking, only one name registered in her mind. And she really didn't want to see him.
"Maybe." Max said. Logan smirked, "Well, see if you can get someone. It'd be really helpful." Max nodded and said goodbye. Walking out into the night, she pedalled over to her next stop.

Biggs was sitting alone in his house, watching a previous basketball game. Bored, he absently picked at the fuzz that was attached to his pillow.
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and he got up and opened the door, surprised to see who it was on the other side.
"Well? You gonna let me in?" Max asked impatiently. He stepped aside and she entered, scrunching her nose at the sight. "No time for cleaning lately?" Max raised and eyebrow and inspected the dirty room.
Biggs shrugged, "I'm not much of the clean type. Now quit playing inspector, and tell me what you want." She was surprised by his tone, but hid it well. "I need your help."
"Again?" He asked, "I thought you never wanted to see me again." Max sighed, "Thanks for making this easy for me." She said sarcastically.
"I mean it, I need your help. Professor Kilman is in trouble, and if I don't find him then the fact that I'm a trans-- A transmission worker will come out. And I really don't want it to."
Biggs snorted, "A transition worker? You don't look the type." Max smirked, "Shut up. Help me or not?" He shrugged, "Fine."
"Great, lets go." She pulled Biggs out and they were off to find out where the professor was.
About 20 feet away sat Alec, watching the pair drive off into the fog. He grinned and followed them, making sure not to be caught.

A/N: Sorry it's so short, but I am super busy right at the moment. I really hope I get the next chapter up soon. If not, you all can flame me! (but I'd rather you not)
Later! And review!
