Gone
Max ran through the streets of Terminal City frantically looking for Alec. She had absolutely no idea what she was going to say to him when she found him. 'I'll worry about that when the time comes' she thought to herself. 'Right now, I just need to see if he's ok.' When she got to his apartment she found the door standing open. Not bothering to knock, she just barged in. "Alec! We need to talk!" Max yelled. There was no answer. "Alec!" Max yelled again. She threw open the door to his bedroom and stormed in. The room was empty, but what Max saw stopped her in her tracks. The drawers to the dresser and the door to the closet were all open. Everything was gone. Alec was gone.
Max turned and rushed out of the apartment.
