Chp2
"What are you talking about?" said Max confused. She actually knew what
Alec was saying but she had crossed that thought from her brain whenever it
came to her. The handsome X-5 who was always talking about how good his
looks were, was now confessing that he loved Max. "Since when...I
mean...how...what...huh?" Max thought. She was on the verge of killing herself
because the world was spinning around her, Alec's handsome face popping
everywhere. Suddenly she came back from her thoughts and looked at the X-5.
"Max?" asked Alec waving his hand in front of her brown eyes. "You are
joking right?" she asked just smirking a little. "What?" said Alec angrily.
When she realized that he wasn't she just joking she tried to make
something up just to get away to the space needle and think about this. "I
promised Logan we'd have a really romantic date...uh... right about now. Bye"
and with that she ran. Alec, stunned at her answer just stood there his
facial features crowded with pain. "Why would she care anyway?" he thought
miserably. It was such a stupid lie because Logan was at crash waiting for
Max to come back.
"Alec likes me?" Max asked herself out loud as she sat on top of the space needle. This was not going to happen. "Never even in a million years, this is all a dream, except the part where the virus is cured. Yes I'm in Logan's apartment sleeping on his bed, after a good dinner" she thought. Why was everything in her life always coming down to Alec? She didn't understand. First they were set up as breeding partners, and then they always were paired for a mission and now this. This wasn't just his ' a unique creature unlike any other' plan. "No wait he didn't say like" Max said, talking to herself. "Alec loves me?" she said. "Whatever" she said as she got up. She just needed some good night's rest. But then she remembered Logan, sitting on a stool in crash, waiting for her return. With her transgenic speed she rushed down the space needle, hopped on her baby and rode to crash as fast as she could. She flung the door open her eyes searching for a middle-aged man with glasses who wasn't as handsome as Alec. "Logan!" she cried out. He was jumping around Sketchy singing 'Mary had a little lamb'. "Oh god he is drunk' thought Max, pulling him away from a surprised Sketchy who's mouth was flung open. Max dragged him all the way to his apartment, put him on the couch, got a flask filled with cold water and splashed it all on him. "What did you do that for?" asked Logan, annoyed. "I couldn't get you to stop singing Mary had a little lamb!" said Max. She looked at Logan who was all wet, sitting on the couch and then started laughing her head off. "Alright I'll stop!" said Logan getting up, grabbing a new shirt and pants from his drawer, and then going into the bathroom to change. "How many glasses did you have anyway?" asked Max, curiously. "Just two" said Logan, coming out of the bathroom. "Anyway I have a mission for Alec," he said, opening a file on his computer. It had the name 'Gregory Berrisford' on it. He opened a picture and there was a man standing smiling at them, looking very much like Robert Berrisford, Rachel Berrisford's father. "Oh no, no, no!" said Max, looking at the picture. "Why not?" asked Logan, coming back to himself. "Do you realize the last name? I'm not going to let him get killed! Who is that guy anyway?" said Max, waving her hands furiously in the air. "Robert Berrisford" replied Logan. "Besides this isn't going to be a hard one, its just about money and"- Logan pointed out-"Alec actually told me about this mission" he said. "Fine, but I'm keeping my eye on both of you" said Max, holding a tough chick expression on her face. As he sped to Gregory's mansion in a big van Max had so called "borrowed", Logan thought about his fight with Max. She had finally given up. Alec was riding on his Duka, which he had painted lime-green.
Logan, who was driving the big van in front of him suddenly stopped. Alec followed even though he was curious. Logan had been in charge of the map, that's the reason he was actually there. He jumped off his motorbike. This didn't look like the beautiful big mansion that Logan had talked about. He came out of the van with a big smile plastered on his face, but there was something about his eyes. "Where are we?" asked the X-5. "You're in hell," said Logan, he was taking out some kind of knife from his pocket. "You didn't think I knew about you having feelings for Max did you?" asked Logan charging at him with the knife. With X-5 speed, Alec grabbed the knife from Logan, just as he grabbed the gun from Asha the day he met her. He stabbed Logan, who let out a cry of pain, once in the arm, but then- "Alec, what the hell are you doing?" said Max. She had come at the wrong time and at the wrong place. She kicked Alec in the stomach. The knife flew to the opposite end and Alec was now slumped against a wall. "Max, I'm not a murderer!" pleaded Alec, looking into her brown eyes, which were now shining with anger. "You tried to kill Logan of course you are a murderer!" she replied. "No Max! I didn't try to kill him, he tried to kill me!" said Alec, his eyes now filled with tears. "Don't lie! I saw you stabbing him, why Alec why?" said Max who was now bent over Logan, checking to see if he was all right. He was, because of the vest she had given him. The knife just gave him a small cut. He got up, Max turning away from him and facing Alec. "Don't you see, that we are meant to be together? He hates you; he just uses you as his puppy so that you can go on missions for him! He's not the guy you think he is!" pleaded Alec, getting up, putting his hand on her soft face. "You are not the man I thought you were!" spitted Max and with that, she ran back to Terminal City. "Max!" shouted Alec. He turned to Logan who was standing behind him. Logan smiled and then said "Lucky I have backup". He pointed to someone behind Alec. It was White with some of his crew. "You bastard!"Shouted Alec. "Aw, 494 lost his girl?" said Ames, a bitter smile on his face. The next thing he knew he was on the floor, his eyes closed.
As Max ran, she remembered that Logan was still there with Alec and decided to go back for him. It was only a few minutes that she had left them. But her transgenic speed got her halfway across her journey. As she neared the dark alley where they had been, she heard a gunshot fire. Max jumped, startled by the sound. She peered and saw Alec on the ground, Ames White standing over him. Blood spilled everywhere. "No" said Max, tears forming in her eyes. Her cat vision neared on a man that looked like Logan. He was slipping away, smiling. "Thankyou Cale, he's dead and he'll be cut up, a lot just like you wanted" said Ames, coldly. "Alec's dead?" thought Max and then she slipped down the wall she had been leaning on and started crying silently.
"Alec likes me?" Max asked herself out loud as she sat on top of the space needle. This was not going to happen. "Never even in a million years, this is all a dream, except the part where the virus is cured. Yes I'm in Logan's apartment sleeping on his bed, after a good dinner" she thought.
