Back In Seattle
Ring Ring
Max headed over to the ringing phone, and picked it up. "Hello?" "Hey! Ya things here have gotten a bit better." Max said before pausing. "Yeah, He's here with me. No, I don't think so." Alec listened as she paused again. "WHAT!!! Yes!!! I want to go with you. Yes I think he would like to come. Got it. 30 minutes. See you then. Laterz" Max said before hanging up. Max headed back into the other room, just as Alec decided to look up from the page he was reading. " Hey, Maxie! What going on? Who called? It wasn't wheels was it?" Alec asked, knowing that if it was indeed Logan, then he was going to kick his sorry ass from here till doomsday.
"No. Thank God. It was Zack." pausing as if to remember something, she continued. "You remember Zack right?" Max asks him. With a shake of his head to show that he did in deed remember Zack, she continued, "Well, remember how I was telling you about Liz and Ben right? I wasn't telling you the whole truth. Hell, I still don't know the whole truth." "WHAT?!?!?!?! Tell me what you know now Max." Alec demanded.
"Okay. As you know Ben was with Liz for six years. From what I was told, and have read, one day her semi favorite, only because he gives her science stuff, uncle came to visit her. Now guess who that her uncle was that would scare both Ben and Zack?" Max asked. Alec shrugged his shoulders not knowing what she was getting at. "It was Lydecker." She told him. "WHAT!!!!!!!."
"Yep, see every year Zack would come and stay with Ben, posing as his "cousin", and Zack was who was taking all the pictures of them. According to the information I have gathered, damn I sound like Logan for a second, anyways they saw him, wrote Liz a quick goodbye I'll never see you again note and got the hell out of there. Zack then forbade Ben from return to her, hurting all of them at once because to Zack, Liz was like the sister he never really had and loved her as one as well. Ben goes crazy from not being near his anchor, and he starts his killing rampage. A year I have to kill him to stop Maticore from recapturing him, under his own order. By doing this, I also had to tell Zack, who in turn had to tell Liz. Lets just say she didn't take the news so well." "What do you mean Max?" Alec asked.
"Alec, she almost killed herself when she heard the news. She didn't want to believe it at first, but when Zack finally told her the whole truth, she believed him. Zack blames himself for everything. So, as a way to forgive himself, and to help Liz cope, he would go down to Roswell every year, as many as times as he could, and visit her. That was untill last year, when she was out of state and he didn't know where she was. He figured that because she was out of state that she might not need him anymore.
Well, tonight, about three hours ago, he gets a call from her. She was crying, begging him to come down and stay with her, saying everything was getting to hard for her and stuff. Now normally Zack would never drop everything and leave, but he said she even told him to bring who ever he wanted, and according to him, she hates strangers, for fear of them being an enemy." Max finally pauses from her speech to look at Alec. Then before he can say anything, she asks him the one thing, he never thought she would.
"So do you want to meet Liz?"
Alec was shocked. Of all reasons, he had made up in his head as to why Ben would go insane, never did he think that the reason was because of love. And to top it all off, part of the reason was Lydecker.
Alec took a deep breath before replying, " Hell yea I want to meet her. I would love to know about Ben. The Ben from outside of Manticore. The one who was some psychopathic killer, and the only one who really knew, would have been Liz. So yea, count me in." "Good because Zack's going to be here in half an hour. Go pack for the summer and bring whatever else you want with you. Meet me back here in 25 minutes." Max said. "Got it." and with that Alec left to go home and pack.
(A/N: Just for fun, I am going to add some Logan musing. He He Ha Ha, that's my funny little laugh.)
Logan could not believe Max and that asshole Alec and caught him. He knew he had to tell Max something soon, or else he may lose his best information retrieval/go getter he had. He just had to tell her that the real reason he slept with Asha was because he was drunk or something along those lines. She would believe him, after all she believed everything else he ever told her. Grabbing his keys from the front desk, he wheeled himself down towards his car, and straight towards Max's apartment.
25 minutes Later (Note, there is going to be a lot more cursing from this point on.)
Alec and Max were all set to go, and where just waiting for Zack to come, when the doorbell rang. "That should be Zack. Let me get it." Max called out to a zoned out Alec. She silently wondered what had made him look so zoned, when she reached the door.
When Max opened the door, she doesn't see Zack, but Logan with a bouquet of yellow roses. "What the fuck? Logan, what all the gods name are you doing here?" Max yelled. "I had to see you Max. We have to talk. Is this a bad time?" Logan asks, as he took in the packed bags near the door and a very zoned out Alec. "And what the hell is he doing here Max?" Logan yelled in shock.
That shook Alec out of his daze. "Max, that sure as hell ain't Zack. Cause if it was, then I think there might just be a little something wrong with him." Alec said as he turned toward Logan. " Hi ya Wheels. Nice to see you to again. Does your fuck buddy know you're here?" Alec asked, with sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"Zack? What's going on here Max? I demand to know" Logan asks in outrage. Just then Zack came running into the apartment, totally missing Logan. "Max, Alec. I am so sorry I was late. Got stuck in traffic. You guys ready to go. I really need to get to Liz. Plus we have got to pick up one other person before we head over to Liz's." Zack says as fast as he can, before stopping to see that there in front of him was Logan, the bane of his times in Seattle.
"What the hell is he doing here? You know what forget it, I don't want to know. I'm going to get this stuff and put it in the car. Come on help me Alec." Zack tells them. As Alec and Zack grab the stuff and head out. Zack turns back. "Five minutes, Maxie, and then we jam with or without you. Or we can kick his ass. Depends on my mood, but I am telling you right now, I feel like kicking his sorry ass out the door." Zack says as he was walking away.
"Okay, Max what is going on here and where are you going?" Logan asks as if it was his right to know. "That none of your business Logan. Not now at least. But, just to appease you, I'll tell you. Alec, Zack and I are going to visit an old friend who needs us more then you do right now. So if you can, please leave. I have got to get going."
"But Max, I love you. You can't go, not now, I need you here. We need to talk about our relationship." Lagan says with sap dripping from his voice.
"No, Logan. You don't love me. You probably never have. You just use me for Eyes Only. Your one sick bastard with lots of problems. Look I gotta jam. I'll see you when I get back. Maybe. And if I do, then we can talk, but not before that." and with that Max walks out towards Zack's car.
Back in her apartment, Logan looked out the window as she walked towards, Zack's car. "Oh I don't think this is over Max. Just you watch. You'll come back to me with open arms once I find out where and who you are visiting." and with that last thought, Logan headed out to his car that was parked directly behind Zack's car.
"You ready to go Max?" Alec asked worried. "Yup. Lets jam babes." Max said as he turned towards Zack. "Hey bro, no offense or anything, but who else do we gotta go get?" Zack looked kind of sheepish as this. As if embarrassed to say anything,
"Um, well we have to get Johnny." He answers not looking at either of them in the eye. Alec had this terrible feeling of dread in his stomach, as if things were about to get ten times worse. Both Alec and Max shared a look of concern as Max asked, "Who exactly is Johnny, Zack?" She asked. "Um, well he is....
