A few weeks later: Max is talking to a street criminal, trying to find the location of Nexus.
"You got a boss?" asked Max
"Maybe, what makes you think I will tell you?" said the street thug.
"Lets say that I think this boss of yours is going to double cross you"
"And what is your take on this?"
(Helena and Dinah appear around the corner, unseen by Max and the criminal. They only hear the last part of the conversation)
"I say I help you get out of your situation. I can make you a pretty sweet deal. You get my help, and I get yours."
"Why, you want to join up with me, make a few good bucks?"
"Ya, maybe I do. I'm sure we'd make a great team, so where's this boss of yours?"
"Give me two days, it takes a few days to find his location, he usually comes to me."
"Fine"
Helena and Dinah head back to the clocktower. Inside they are talking with Reese and Barbara
"What the heck was she doing?" asked Helena. "We just watched her make a deal with a criminal. The whole trusting issue is very lacking right now."
"I have no idea, I'm thinking that trusting her may be hard right about now. She could definitely be playing us. The whole Nexus story doesn't really make that much since anyway." Said Dinah
"And your sure she was wanting to join up with him?" asked Barbara
"Sounded like it to me"
"Hmm"They hear someone walk in. (A guy. Can anyone guess?)
Um, hi, is Max around?"
"And you are?" asked Reese
"My name's Alec, has Max been here, I need to talk with her" answered Alec.
"Last time we saw her she was hitting the streets doing God knows what, but you can check her motel. Why do you need her?"
"Look, don't freak out on me ok? I'm from the future and I need to speak with her."
"You people are really getting on my nerves with this future mysterious crap, " said Helena, but he had already left.
