CHAPTER 10: More Confusion

Suki's apartment
This is impossible. Suki had spent the last three hours in front of her computer and hadn't found any useful information on White. He worked for the government, this was all she had found so far. Wait, there's more… His wife was murdered and his son kidnapped. Someone like White has, well had a wife and a son? Hard to imagine… Seems like I don't find more on the legal way, Suki thought. Time for hacking into some secret files…

White's office
"What's she doing?", White asked impatiently.
"She's on the computer, for three hours. Seems like she's looking for something."
"And what?"
"Dunno. Some people talk themselves, but she doesn't."
"Too bad", White said, "She'd better do what she's supposed to do. But I don't really need her anymore. I just have to know when and where she's meeting 452 and 494."

"I can't believe it!", Normal said as Max came in. "You do know what time it is, don't you?"
"Yes, I do", Max just said and walked over to the lockers where OC was standing. "Hey."
"Hey boo. I thought you wanted to talk to Logan this morning?"
"Later", Max answered while searching something in her locker.
OC looked at her skeptically and then turned to her own locker.
"Morning Ladies", Alec said to the two of them.
"Hey."
"Hey", Max said still occupied with her locker.
"Boo, what are you actually looking for?", Cindy asked her.
Max turned round. "My… my watch", she answered, holding a black watch in her hand.
"I think that one was broken and ya got a new one?"
Max thought for a moment. "Well… yeah, but maybe this one can be repaired?"
"Whatever, I'm off. See ya two later."
"Bye", Max and Alec said in unison.
They stood there for a moment not saying anything before Alec broke the silence.
"Have you heard anything from Joshua?"
Max shook her head. "No, but I wanted to go to TC this afternoon. See if I can find him", she paused for a moment then added, "Do you wanna come with me?"
"Sure. Maybe I can talk to Normal and we get the afternoon off."
"Yeah, that would be good. See ya around noon then." Max smiled and went to take a package that Normal was already holding out to her with his usual "bip bip bip" comment.
Max got her bike and went off to sector 7. This is really getting ridiculous, she thought as she thought about how she recently reacted when Alec was around. First, that thing yesterday and now as well.
Everything was different. She didn't know what to say to him and this was the strangest thing of all. She, Max, didn't know what to say. And, still more strange, she didn't know what to say to Alec!
Usually she would comment everything he said with some bitchy remark. She tried to remember, the last time she had argued with him and she couldn't remember it.
But then she realized that it wasn't only her, Alec, too, had changed.
Max just couldn't place where this was all going. She even didn't know what to think about herself anymore. There would be an explanation… Max quickly banned this thought from her head, no not possible. This is ridiculous… impossible, there couldn't be something more impossible. She almost had to laugh at that thought. But the more she thought about it, the more did she realize that it was probably right. She was in love with Alec. Max still tried to find other reasons, but there weren't any. But still, he sees me as a friend and I won't change that.
Max's thoughts were interrupted by someone calling her. What the fuck is Alec doing here? I thought he was going to sect… Before Max could finish her thought, she was hit by a car…
