The Search

'Alec is gone. I can't believe he would just leave like that, without even saying goodbye. I thought he really cared about me.' When Max left Alec's apartment she headed straight for the garage where they parked their motorcycles. 'Please let his bike still be there, please don't let him be gone yet.' Max offered up a silent prayer to the Blue Lady, but she was too late. Alec's bike was missing which meant he was really gone, probably for good.

'No! I am not going to lose him now. I have to find him and explain about Logan. I have to tell him how I feel. If he wants to leave then, fine, but he is going to hear what I have to say even if I have to kick his ass from here to Sunday to get my point across.' Max jumped on her Ninja and sped off.

"Where the hell are you, Alec?" Max was sitting on top of the Space Needle staring out at the Seattle skyline. She had looked everywhere for Alec. She went by Crash; he wasn't there. She went to his old house; he wasn't there either. She even checked Joshua's place, but no luck. Since she couldn't find him she'd resorted to sitting there in the dark talking to herself, or rather, imagining that she was talking to him. "I needed to talk to you, to explain. I know I should have said something to you sooner, but I didn't know how I felt until tonight. Hell, I didn't know how you really felt until tonight either. I mean, after Rachel, you swore that you'd never feel this way about anyone ever again..." Max's voice drifted off. 'Rachel...' If Alec was leaving town for good, he wouldn't do it without saying goodbye to her. "I just hope I'm not too late" she said as she sped down the stairs towards her bike.
