Max opened the door to her four bed roomed apartment she was speaking to Ben and even though it was dark she clearly noticed the window in the living room was open she then saw something move in the corner of her eye.

Ben "Max.. Hello you ok?"

Max answered "erm. I'm not sure I'll phone you back"

She hanged up and put her mobile in her back pocket. With no warning she spun around and went to kick her intruder but he caught her foot and she didn't pull away she just stared at the man she thought was an intruder but was actually her brother.

" Alec " max says looking surprised

Then Alec fell to his knees, he was so weak after the fight. Max automatically fell to her knees to support Alec .

" Hello little sister" says Alec trying to hide the pain.

Tears filling Max's eyes as she hadn't seen her brother since they had been separated after the escape from manacore and now here his was right in front of her and he was badly injured, his wounds bleeding.

Max asked in a soft and concerned voice "Alec what happened? You look exhausted, you should eat something do you still like pizza"

Alec put his hand on his sisters face to wipe her tears of worry away and he said to her "I'm alright, please don't cry" " pizza sounds great" he added with a smile.

Max returned the smile and said "pizza it is then"

Alec sat patiently on the edge of the kitchen table as he watched max look for pizza in the freezer she gave up and said " for goodness sake Ben you ate the last pizza"

Alec looked at her and said " Ben is here! As in my twin?"

Max answered with a smile " yes, I share this apartment with him"

" Well I always thought there was something between the two of you's" said Alec watching max's reaction as she walked over to him.

she said " no way were not like that" as she playfully punched him in the shoulder. He let out a slight moan as he could feel the pain of his stomach wound.

"Sorry" max quickly said

"am alright" Alec answered

Max went and got the first aid box from in the bathroom and said "lets clean those wounds of yours" and she did so that they wouldn't become infected.

Alec began to get impatient and max said "finished. Right lets get something to eat"

Alec replied " I agree… what are we going to have?"

" Pizza. I'll phone Ben and tell him to bring pizza over cause he is out doing the shopping" - max

Alec nodded at her answer. He went into the living room and sat on the three piece suite watching the t.v while max sat next to him talking to a Ben on the mobile.
