After another hour of asking questions, which never lead to the right answers, Alec stood up and left the room.
He ignored her smug smile as he slammed the door closed. She was the most irritating women he had ever met, even more frustrating than the Queen of Irritating herself, Max.
Max! She could help, Alec was sure of it. Maybe she and '006' could have some kind of heart to heart womanly chat. Alec reached for the phone, but paused halfway through her number. There was no doubt he needed Max's help, but did he want it? Did he really want to have to put up with her smug 'I told you so' looks and the numerous eye rolls she would give him which screamed 'You are pathetic.'
Alec sighed as he punched in the rest of the number, he knew he was in over his head with this girl, he had no idea what to do with her. He would have to swallow his pride, call Max, and put up with the painful consequences to his ego another time.
'Yeah' Max answered the phone so eloquently.
'Hey Ma..'
Alec didn't get a chance to finish her name before the receiver was ripped from his hand and thrown across the room with such force that it smashed into the far wall, breaking into pieces.
'Calling someone?' 006 asked sweetly.
'Ordering Pizza' Alec replied with an innocent shrug before glancing quickly past her into the bedroom. The bedpost was snapped in half, explaining her miraculous escape.
The girl stepped forward. Alec stepped back cautiously, he knew when he was most likely overpowered. But this girl was overconfident, he was sure he could use it against her.
Shetook another step forward, closer this time, their bodies almost touching. Alec stepped back again more quickly, he was annoyed at himself for being strangely attracted to her. Not the time, or the place he thought to himself. He also preferred his woman to not want him dead, or whatever the hell this one wanted with him.
So he continued stepping back in order to keep at arms length away from her, until he was backed up against the wall, the broken phone pieces crunching under his feet.
'006' pushed a loose strand of curly dark hair off her face and leaned in closer. The girl hadn't shown any violence yet -unless he counted the phone destorying -so Alec didn't initiate a fight.
'What do you want?' He asked her softly.
Their eyes locked. If eyes were the windows to the soul, he was looking into hers.
Alec saw a frightened girl, always looking over her shoulder. Never knowing true friendship, companionship, or love. He would feel pity for her, but somehow he knew that would just royally piss her off.
When she leant in to kiss him he didn't step away, or resist, and when she leant back she answered him with a beautifully sincere smile.
'What do I want? Freedom'
