Chapter 3
Alec sat in his apartment watching TV. He was getting bored and worried. Max was suppose to come by after work. Usually they all got off work around 5. It was now 7. He walked over to the window. He had paged Max 5 times, and she hadn't called. Suddenly he heard his cell ring. He grabbed it.
"Max?" he asked when he heard someone on the other end sobbing.
"Alec?" the voice wasn't Max's. But Alec recognized it.
"Cindy what's wrong, do you know where Max is?" Alec tried not to sound panicked.
"Alec...I'm in the hospital. I was shot while doing my route." She paused. He could tell she was hesitating almost as if someone was listening. "Alec...you have to come here right away. Its about Max." with that they both hung up with out saying goodbye. It took Alec 20 minutes to get there. And an extra 10 minutes to find Cindy's room. She was in the bed.
"Cindy...you alright?" Alec asked worried.
"I'm fine. I was just shot in the stomach. Flesh wound is all. But Max..." She focused her gaze out the window.
"Where's Max?" Cindy looked back at him. He could tell she was holding back tears.
"We were set up. The package we had to deliver was to that agent guy that's always after Max. He asked about his son being alive. Then he used a stun gun on her and shot me. They took away in a black Buick. Alec...you gotta find my boo. Our boo."
