Chapt. 1-How It All Started
It seemed like ages doing those rounds at Jampony but it finally ended, just for the day. Max was just about to walk into Crash when Alec ran past.
Alec said a simple, quick "Hi".
Max didn't even get a chance to say hi, so she just shrugged her shoulders and went in the bar. She walked over to the table where Original Cindy and Sketchy were sitting.
O.C greeted her with a "Hey Boo".
Max just answered "Hi".
Sketchy asked "So where's Alec?"
Max replied "Dunno, just saw him whizz past"
"Guess we'll just have to play pool without him" Sketchy paused then thought "which means I have a better chance of winning!"
"Yeah, if you could beat me!" Max busted Sketchy's hope of winning.
Alec quickly made his way through to the pool table at where his three friends were.
"Where'd you go?" Sketchy asked, "I thought you had to go somewhere".
"Well, yeah" Alec started off "I just had some small business to deal with"
"So what are we waiting for?! Let's get this game started!" Max said impatiently.
Sketchy played Alec first and at the end of the game he was whinging "Man, you always win!"
Max was playing pool with Alec when the brunette's pager went off. She reached for her beeper.
"It's Logan, I gotta go" Max said.
"Ok, just don't take too long Boo!" O.C reminded her.
"Yeah!" Max yelled as she walked out of Crash.
At Logan's Apartment
"Hey" Logan smiled.
"Hi. So what'd you need me for?" Max inquired.
"Hey can I ask you to do a job for me?" Logan shifting his chair back from the computer.
"Sure" She answered.
"There's this guy named Glenn Richards and I think he might have something on Manticore" the man adjusted his glasses.
"But there's one small catch, you have to bring Alec along" Logan added.
"What!" Max shouted. She crossed her arms. Then uncrossed them. "Why the hell do I need to bring Alec along?" Max complained.
"I don't like the idea either, but..." He didn't get to finish.
Max interrupting "But what?! I can handle the mission!"
"It's a two man job, I hate to do this but can you think of anyone else who'd go along with this. I mean if there's anyone else just tell me" Logan hoped there'd be someone else instead of Alec because that is practically his worst nightmare, sending Max away with him.
"Yeah, I guess. I'll ask him" Max hesitated.
"You guys have to go this formal dinner which is held at the M Summers Hotel" Logan explained "Your names will be filed under Matthew and Elizabeth Hallow on the list."
"Great, this just keeps getting better and better!" Max said sarcastically.
"There'll be a one night sleep at the hotel" Logan said sadly.
"Your kidding, but there's gonna be separate beds right?" Max quickly asked.
"I think so" Logan guessed.
Back At Crash
"Wonder where Max is?" Alec suddenly asked.
"She'll come when she's done doing whatever she's doing." O.C defended Max.
"It's getting pretty late and I haven't won a single game!" Sketchy whined, pulling away from the pool table.
Max wondered through the crowd to her friends.
"Girl whatcha do?" O.C questioned.
"Just had to talk 'bout stuff with Logan" Max replied.
"Hey Alec, I need to talk to you for a sec" She dragging him to a less crowded space.
"Um, Logan asked us to do an undercover job for him" Max said slowly, giving Alec a weird look.
"What!" Alec surprisingly commented. Max smiled as to the reaction Alec had just given her.
"Yeah that was the same thing I said, but there's no one else" She then mumbled "Unfortunately"
"Well I'm out" Alec replied distractedly because of the chick that waltzed by which also happened to be a blonde.
"Did I mention that there are gonna be lots of bimbos for you to check out there" Max exaggerated while rolling her eyes.
"Ok, count me in" Alec grinned.
"We'll swing by Logan's tonight, understood" Max straightened her face up so she'd look more serious.
"Yeah" Alec replied still distracted by the blonde.
O.C and Sketchy were just talking now since half of their group was gone.
"What'd you think they're talking bout?" Sketchy pointed at Max and Alec.
He turned his head to Original Cindy "Do you think they're not telling us something?"
"Fool, if they wanted to tell us something they'd be here telling us!" O.C glared at Sketchy.
"Yeah, so what'd you think it is" Sketchy looked at his glass of beer.
"I dunno, but sure looks fishy to O.C" she commented.
Max pulled Alec back to the table where Sketchy and O.C was.
"Hey, at least let me wave goodbye or something to her!" (Referring to the blonde) Alec complained on the way.
"Whatever" Max still pulling Alec.
They got to the table. Max looked at Original Cindy and excused herself "Gotta go back to Logan's"
"Sure Boo" O.C looked suspiciously at Max.
"I think I'll tag along, too" Alec decided giving a slight glance at Max.
"See ya" Sketch yelled, as Max and Alec both walked out of Crash.
"We head to Logan's, right?" Alec asked, walking beside Max.
"Duh, where else are we gonna go?" Max rhetorically questioned him.
"There's definitely something going on between those two" Sketchy pointed out.
"Boy, how do you know that there's something going on?" O.C snapped at Sketchy.
"They left right after that small talk" He suggested
O.C looked around the room for a bit; she then turned her head back to Sketchy "Ya can't be certain".
"They just went to Logan's, maybe he found more 'bout Manticore" O.C told Sketchy.
"It could just be that" He half agreed.
Logan's Place
Max and Alec walked in to find Logan sitting at his computer, as usual.
Logan smiled at both Max and Alec "Hi Max, Alec".
"Hey Logan, Alec's gonna do the job after all" Max pointed to Alec.
"Hi Logan, so what's this BIG mission that me and Maxie here have to do?" Alec asked, just to annoy Logan.
Logan turned away from his computer then looked at Alec. Alec felt a bit awkward at that moment as he just noticed Logan wasn't really up for joke but then again, was he ever?
Max went and broke the silence "So Logan, weren't you about to tell Alec the plan?"
"Yeah I was just about to do that" Logan stood up and walked over to the couch by the coffee. Max and Alec followed over. They took a seat opposite to Logan.
Logan started off "Well you guys have to a formal dinner.........."
Ten minutes later:
"You then go to up to your hotel room and there's a balcony so you can sneak into Glenn's room" Logan finally finished.
"So that's it?" Alec scratched his head. "That's a piece of cake, right Max?"
"Yeah, if you don't stuff up" She mumbled under her breath.
Alec pretended he didn't hear "What's that you just said?"
"Well, I guess I'll have to find you guys a tux and a dress" Logan interrupted.
"Nah there's no need, we'll just swipe one" Alec answered with a mischievous grin.
Max hit him at the back of his head "We're not stealing anything!"
"Ow!" Alec rubbed his head "Why not?!"
"Coz it's wrong!" Max spat back with a pissed off look.
"Alec I can just pay for them" Logan offered kindly.
"No that's ok" Alec declined as he was very independent.
He was getting ready to go "Any other stuff we need to know?"
Logan gave a small smile "Nope that just about covers everything"
"If that's it then, I'm gonna head home" Alec started to walk out the door. "Cya"
"Bye" Max and Logan both said. Outside Alec walked home alone in the dark thinking "Hey this mission might not be so bad, I mean I get to check out some hot blondes if there are any and pretending to be Max's husband hmm............ might be harder than I think"
After that they talked for a bit.
"So how was your night?" Logan asked.
"Not bad considering Alec being jerk and all but I guess he's just being himself" she waved her arms around. "Yours?" she then questioned back.
"Actually it was quite good. I've found out a bit more on this Sandeman guy and that's why I asked you and Alec to get some data because I think Glenn might know something" the man adjusted his glasses.
He showed a picture of G. Richards to Max just to make sure she knew who she was gonna look for.
It was late now so Max decided to leave "Hey it's getting late so I gotta blaze"
"Take care" Logan shouted after her as she was leaving. "You too" she yelled back.
