Me agene, new chapter I think I may be updating this to close together but it cant be helped, still I'm glad you lot think I'm writing max and Alec well, and your reviews are really putting a smile on my face. Thanks a lot. Tory.

Stifling a yawn I down my third cup of coffee, I'm sitting at a booth in the corner, the dinner was just as bad as the room, tattered and battered, red imitation lever split and dirtied all over. I smile at the waitress as she walked passed, any other time and I would have made a move on her, not any more she was mealy a pawn in my game of chess and I'm after the queen. It was quarter to twelve. Maxie had decided to stay another day and I hadn't complained, what for all the more time with my Maxie alone. She had taken a shower just after she saw how I was half asleep, I did try to sleep when I saw her beautiful body disappear in to the small bathroom but thoughts of her in a room wet and unclothed were driving me insane, and more so that there was a paper thin wall between us. Finally I decided I was going to get away from her and retreated to get something to eat.

Max had seen the smile that crossed Alec's face when the waitress passed him, a rush of a feeling suddenly shot through her as she stood extremely still just watching the man before her, was that jealousy, 'no' she thought 'I'm not jealous of Alec' still she just stood watching him. She could just about imagine what OC would have said to that.

"ya aint jealous of Alec fool, ya ass is jealous of the blond his smile was aimed at"

Sighing she finally moved in the direction of were Alec sat. 'this is going to be a interesting road trip'

I new she was coming before she even reached me. Looking up I grinned at her, she just smiled back and sat in the opposite seat to me. I felt much better today. Max had taken the world from my shoulders, I looked at her while she was reading the menu. Wet hair was the first thing I noticed, it hung in stream's around her shoulders. Chocolate eyes dancing with emotion, emotions she had hid from me till last night. Back strata, head slightly tilted she sat with all the grace a woman could poses, I guess Manticore was good for something, Maxie was truly amassing. Perfect in every way. Looks, style, intelligence, but most of all she has a fire not the coolest of waters could dim. Even if her hair was dripping wet. It was only Ironic that as I was looking at her couth staring at her, she would look up and see me, Maxie flashed an all knowing smile.

"You like" she asked, grinning at me.

"Who couldn't Maxie, I mean no one with that body couldn't be liked." I mocked. Earning myself a play punch on the arm. "Awwwww, max that hurt." I faked, making max hit me agene.

"Oh poor Alec want mommy to kiss it better"

"Only if you hit my mouth" I replied then almost as fast as lightning I jumped up and went to order some food. Trying to slow my over exited hart down, god that woman will be the death of me.

Max watched him get up and go to the counter, razing one eye brow she was almost confused. She hadn't wanted to hit Alec for his last remark, in fact, she would rather have done it, not hit him but kiss him. Hay hay hay girl hold up, max found herself thinking. I can't possibly think of Alec in that way……can I …… preside I love someone else………. Or I did, crap.

I was grateful for the water running down my back, even if it was cold. It had been an easy day, after eating me and max went for a walk, but for some reason I couldn't shake the feeling that I had been here before. When I had finished I walked out the bath room looking around I noted that there was nothing wrong in the room max was no were to be seen so I decided to try and get some shut eye. Not a good idea giving the dreams I had.

Dream.

Manticore. The place wear all my night mares started, I was in my cell there were people in there with me, and I counted 13 of them. They all looked like children I kept watching them move and talk, one of them started talking to me asking what to do, then I realized my unit. 822 was talking to me. He wanted me to tell him what to do. I didn't know, I didn't even know what was wrong. He started shouting at me for help, I couldn't move. Help with what? Suddenly the lights went on some one walked in guards with him. Oh no. 822 screamed as he was dragged away only the first of many to be taken…………… through out the night I tossed and turned but all I could hear was 822 screaming……………….then they came agene but this time it was for me.

I woke in a heave state, cold sweat trickled down my for head. Things seemed surreal I could feel 822, it was like he was with me or extremely near. I saw Maxie, she was sitting on the floor, asleep right next to my bed, I should have told her this, I told her every think but this, if I'm right then things are going to get a hell of a lot more complicated.

Logan sat back on his computer seat. The very tired looking man glanced up, Max hadn't told him were she was going it worried him. She could be any were, white might have her, she may have done a runner, or she could be with him. Not liking the thought he grabbed his phone and called the number he new all to well. Letting it ring he left a message.

"its me, I got a job for you, just one this time."

You wont have her, she's mine.
