Message to readers: Hey 4anx heaps pplz for da reviews!

Disclaimer: Don't sue me, I'm just writing a fanfic! I don't own Dark Angel!

He escorted her down to the dinner party. At the party everyone was talking to each other until the couple stepped in. They looked stunning together and everyone was curious about the two who just walked in.

"They're staring at us" Alec murmured under his breath.

"Just keep walking" Max insisted gripping his arm just a little tighter.

Trying to blend in with the crowd and search for Glenn Richards wasn't so hard, after all this is nothing compared to Manticore training.

"Glenn Richards at 4 o'clock" She remembered the photo Logan had shown her.

"Yeah so what do we do now?" Alec checked with Max to see what she was going to suggest.

"After the party we follow him to where his room is but for now, just have fun" She instructed.

"Don't I always" He grabbed a glass of wine from the waiter.

Logan was hoping nothing happened to Max since she hadn't called, most of the times she does whenever she reaches her destination. Still working on saving the world and all, a guy can get pretty stressed. "Wonder what they're doing now?" he asked himself. Moments later he fell asleep in his chair near the computer.

Max was staying at his side the whole time. They were having a blast, talking to people, drinking and so on. It was now time for the main course of the night.

She and Alec sat at a table opposite to Glenn's. The food was divine and the drinks weren't, well they weren't too shabby.

"The food's great!" Alec pointed out while half stuffing down some steak and noodles.

"Yeah, but can you be more of a pig?" Max sipped the wine.

"Hey I take that as an offence you know?!" he protested.

"Whatever" the girl just simply specified.

The pair hadn't realised but an old woman was sitting there for quite some time now.

"May I ask for your names?" The elderly woman had finally decided to question.

"Mines, Elizabeth and my husband's Matthew" Max nearly choked on her own words.

Alec was about to blurt out "What the hell are you talking about?" then he remembered that they were doing an undercover job.

"It's nice to see young couples getting along so well, by the way my name's Elaine" The lady introduced herself. She was wearing a pearl necklace with a slightly greenish-bluish dress.

"Nice to meet you" Both simultaneously answered. They exchanged looks to one another.

"Where's your partner?" He un-thoughtfully asked.

Max gave a death stare to Alec "Be polite, Matt!" then turning back to Elaine "Sorry, what my husband meant to say was, do you have someone who came with you tonight?"

"No, sadly he's not here with me now" The old woman lowered her head.

"Oh, I'm sorry" Max felt saddened.

"Yeah you should be" Alec muttered.

She stabbed him with her heel for that last remark. He nearly yelled but kept it in.

2 hrs later after the chatting and eating

It was the last dance Alec decided to ask Max just to see what her reply was "May I have this dance?" he held out his hand.

"Um, will you be ok sitting here by yourself, Elaine" She asked the elderly widow.

"Sure, you kids run along and dance, I'll be ok" Elaine didn't actually mean that but she didn't want their spirits to be pulled down because of her

"Thanks" Max called out while being pulled away by Alec.

"Do you even know how to dance?" She quizzed him.

"Of course I can, why the hell would I ask you if I couldn't" He argued back.

The song 'Baby I Love You' by J.Lo feat. R Kelly came on.

"I love this song" Max announced to him as they were dancing.

"Yeah me too" Alec unexpectedly agreed.

"Wow Alec you actually have a sensitive side" She mocked him, putting her arms around his neck.

"Are you mocking me?" He cocked his eyebrow with his arms around her waist.

"Yes Alec, I'm mocking you" Max laughed.

"I've never seen you enjoy yourself in ages" bringing up the subject, Alec smiled.

"True" She returned the smile back.

The song began:-

R. Kelly

Its like downtown New York in the middle of traffic jams

all I really want you to know is who I am

Find me low key in the back of the club, roll with some fine females, rollin' on dubs

you and me big pimpin' on a shopping spree in L.A

papparatzis and critics who give a damn what they say.

J.Lo

Boy I never knew I could feel the way I felt, when I met you I could never forget you

and boy when you look my way I realize more and more I adore your pretty eyes

what I wanna know from you is do you wanna share my love's bliss

I long for the day when I'm feeling your kiss can you love me for a lifetime for just in one night I'm helpless for you

baby but its alright.

CHORUS

Baby I love you ( love you )

Baby I need you ( need you )

I gotta have you ( I gotta have you babe )

Cant be without you( be without you )

Baby I love you, ( yeaahhh )

Baby I need you ( need you )

I gotta have you, ( I gotta have you babe )

Can't be without you

It was like they were in a trance or something, seeing no one else but themselves.

"You haven't stepped on my foot once"

"That's good isn't it?" a muddled up Alec inquired.

The song ended and Alec led Max back to the table.

Elaine spoke "Did you have fun?"

"Definitely" a cheerful voice replied

"Yeah it was pretty good" another couldn't help but grin.

"You two have been so kind to me and I hope we'll meet again" the lady with the pearl necklace said her goodbyes.

"Thank you for making my night so splendid" She then left with that last comment. The woman was pretty nice to them but then again she seemed pretty mysterious. "Bye" The couple called out to Elaine.

Glenn was leaving the party. The pair followed him unnoticed as he walked upstairs.

Up to the third floor was where his apartment lies. "What number is the guy's room?" Alec started to whine. Max took one step further at the corner as Glenn opened the door to his apartment. "Its number 63" She whispered to her partner. They then hurried back to their luxury suite.

"So what time do we get to bust in?" Alec enthusiastically questioned while jerking the collar of his shirt.

"Midnight" was all she said.

"Is it hot in the lift or is it just me?" He took off his coat.

"It's just you" Max smirked while waiting for the elevator door to open.

The doors slide apart and they stepped into the hallway of the hotel.

In their room Alec complained "God I can't stand this tux any longer" taking his shirt off.

Max didn't mind that much as long as he keeps his undies on then its fine. She walked into the bathroom anyways with her change of clothes.

They had both finished changing afterwards she stepped out of the bathroom.

"We've got 1 hr and a half left, any suggestions for some fun?" Alec mysteriously smiled putting his thumb up close to his lips.

"You know we could always watch TV", Max continued "Or we can just sit around and mope"

"I pick........Neither" He decided at last, moving a bit closer to her.

"Wine?" the man standing in front of her asked.

"Sure, but I'm not going to get drunk a second time today, understood" She commanded with her arms crossed.

"Yes ma'm" Alec imitated one of the obedient soldiers.

"You're such an idiot" She laughed and clung on his arms, walking out to the balcony.

With their glasses of wine they tapped them together and Alec dedicated "To me!"

Max gave him a weird look "What for?"

"I haven't been threatened by you yet........ you know to kick my ass" He quickly thought of something to say.

"Who says I wasn't thinking about it?" She spoke back.

"Yeah well, at least you haven't said anything" He answered.
