When push came to shove, Alec absolutely hated Logan, half the time even on his good days. But to have to say sorry to Logan… well, Alec was decidedly angry over his birth right now. Or maybe just mad at the woman whose fault all this was. Alec fixed a cold glare on Max as they rode the elevator in silence, although he could tell she wanted to snicker. Bitch! "If you laugh, you know I kill you, right?"
Max gave her fellow transgenic a cheeky grin as she stepped out of the elevator and jogged towards Logan's door, "Oh, Alec, I'm not the one you have to worry about laughing!"
"Max," came the almost begging reply from a panic stricken Alec, "please don't make me do this!"
Trying to be patient, Max replied, "Look, I love you for hacking into that database, but Logan still deserves an apology, do you understand me."
Catching Max before she could enter the penthouse, Alec searched her eyes and realized, She didn't want to see him before we left. "Fine, Maxie, but if he laughs, you better hold me back!"
Conceding this point, Max shook him off her arm and pushed open the door a forced cheery expression on her face. "Logan? I forgot my jacket and I've come to pick it up."
Logan spun around from where he was still sitting in his computer chair and his smile faded when Alec entered behind Max. "So, what was so important?"
Halfway through grabbing her jacket off of a discarded chair, Max stiffened slightly at the accusing tone. "Alec has something to tell you."
Alec's eyes widened as the conversation was abruptly handed to him, he knew he shouldn't mention their road trip until Max did, but he wasn't sure how else to explain his hacking to Logan. "Uh, right, Logan, how's the hacking?"
"Fine," was the starched reply, and Logan could be seen clenching his fists slightly, a sign that the hacking was not going any more favorably then the last four hours.
Alec took a step forward then thought better of it and stopped, quickly rushing out, "I-may-have-hacked-into-a-Manticore-database,-I'm-sorry-if-security-is-high."
As soon as the sentence was out of Alec's mouth, Max jerked up with her jacket and nodded towards Logan, "I've gotta go out of town, I'll catch you in a few days, Logan. Alec, let's go before I decide to let him punch you."
While Logan was still in too much surprise to take her up on that offer, Alec hurried after the retreating transgenic, half growling half teasing, "What ever you say sergeant Maxie."
"Alec," Max called back as they both exited the apartment, "Shut the hell up."
Logan managed to call out half heartedly, "Bye, Max," but what he really wanted to know was what road trip se was going on and why it seemed Alec was going with. Logan was not a happy hacker at the moment.
