"Hey Max!" Cammie called over to her drinking a beer. "How's it going?"

"Alright. I've had about 50 guys by me beers. What's up with that?" Max asked drowning hers down. "I don't know but I guess you have been doing that little trick to make them think you really drink it huh?"

Max looked confused not sure of what she was talking about. "You know when you make it look like you and." Max still had no idea what she meant.

"Never mind. But if you haven't then, how do you do it? How do you drink all that and not get drunk?" Cammie asked handing out some drinks.

"I've got my ways. Listen I'm going to take a break all the loud noise is getting to my head. If you need me I'll be at the dinner across the road," Max said.

"Oh come on its New Years Eve," Violet said after her.

"Sorry!" Max called before heading out the door. "Hey Frank!" Max called as she entered the nearly empty Dinner. "Hey Max what can I get you?" The man asked pouring a costumer some coffee.

"Bottle of water please," She replied taking a seat. When Max was handed her water she took a look at the pictures. "You've got some fine art here Frank!" Max called to him but the man was in the back room. She finishes looking around passing the door taking a quick glance out. She came to a stop and went straight back to the door. "Shit!" Max whispered. Taking another look she saw Alec. He was waiting in line and it didn't take long until the bouncer let him in.

"Shit, shit, shit!" Max whispered. She quickly left some change for her water and ran out side across the street. "Hey Dave," Max greeted the bouncer before going straight inside.

"Max!" Violet called over to her. "There's a cutie here to see you!" She pointed over to Alec at the other side of the counter.

Max made her way over to him but some guy stood in front of her. "Hey sexy want to come home with me?" she was growing impatient so Max just shoved him out of her way over to Alec. When she finally got to Alec's side he was checking out a read head dancing near by. 'Go figure'

Max took a drink of water making sure to leave a little. She then poured it on his head.

"Hey what the hell!" Alec snapped pissed off until he saw it was Max. "Oh hey Maxie,"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" Max shouted pulling him into the back room.

"What I can't enjoy watching girls dancing on the counter of a club?" Alec asked with an innocent face.

"In New York City?" Max pointed out. He was about to argue with it but found she did have a good point. "All right I'm here for you," That got Max's attention.

"Why? What did Logan send you?" Max asked. "No actually I had to do all the work my self until I read the news paper. Max what the hell are you think Ames could probably find you in an instant!" Max was taken back. He was actually worried about her, he really cared. "Wow," Max mumbled.

"Wow?" Alec repeated rather confused.

Max walked up and gave him a tight hug. When she backed away he was confused. "Did I miss something? I mean I'm confused," Alec asked scratching his head, which was still wet from her water. "Thanks for caring, now I have got to get back to work it New Years in 15 minutes," Max said making her way back to the bar.

"Wait back to work? What if White finds out? It's not safe here anymore," Alec said going after her. "Then when he comes I'll go. Alec I need to stay away from Seattle for a while you could go back if you want. But I feel conferrable and I'm not leaving until I have to," Max replied pouring some drinks.

"All right fine but I'm staying here with you. Maybe I'll find some small job or something. Where are you staying?"

"What do you mean?" Max asked. "I mean where do you stay and sleep and what ever,"

"I don't. I eat at the dinner across the road I work here all night and any other time I ride my baby through the City checking things out. I don't need to sleep It's a little thing called Shark DNA," Max replied. All a sudden people started counting down from 10. "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Happy New Year," The whole crowd shouted.

"Happy New Year Alec," Max smiled drowning down a shot some guy had bought her.
