Dark Side

Title: Cure for all the questions.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, so don't sue me!!!

Summary: Alec, Max and OC are sent on a mission to a high school in order to find a cure for the virus, but what will Max find on this all new experience for her???

Pairing: M/A.

Chapter 14.

"Man, I'm not playing poker with you no more." Lane said as Alec threw the five cards down and revealed the royal flush.

"So what do you think I should do with the money?" Alec asked with a grin as he took the money from the middle of the table.

"Don't even think about it..." Lane warned.

"What? Are you like a mind reader or something?" Alec asked with annoyed tone of voice.

"Maybe... but if I were you I'd take Max on a proper date." Lane said as he got up walked towards the fridge and stared looking for food.

"That's a great idea, Lane." Alec said as he too got up and started flipping the phonebook pages.

"Bro, what are you doing?" Lane asked as he took a bite of a Cindy's two-day-old chocolate cake.

"I'm gonna make a restaurant reservation for tonight. And then I'm gonna have to find Maxie a dress, coz I doubt she has one."

"Sounds easy, but how are you gonna break into the shop in the middle of the day?" Lane said.

"Its Sunday half of the shops are closed. Oh just do one thing, make sure when they come back they don't go anywhere else I'll be back in couple of hours." Alec said and walked out of the door.

Meanwhile

"Boo, let me get this straight. Logan, will be here tomorrow and you're still not sure what to say about you and your boy?" OC asked finally getting what Max tried to explain a minute ago.

"Yeah..." Max said as she took a sip of her cappuccino.

"Max, honestly I've always known that you and Logan would never work, and as soon as Alec showed up I knew that he'd be the one for you, but you started hating him, because you were afraid of actually admitting that the boy was fine and that you were sort of attracted to him. But boo you didn't want Logan to go, because you knew him for a whole year, but weren't doing anything if ya know what I mean. And there you were thinking that the two of you could finally get it on, and Bam you got a virus. You got the chance to reverse everything, to cure the virus, but you chose Alec over all that, over your long awaited dream. So now you're sitting here thinking if it was worth it. Don't ask us for answers boo. Ask your heart, listen to what it tells you and make a wise choice." Cindy said and took a bite of her chocolate cake.

Max didn't know what to say, she was stunned by Cindy's words, they were so true. It was only a dream: her and Logan, but Alec was a reality. Logan and her just weren't meant to happen, God knows how many times they have tried, but it was hopeless.

Her and Alec were a different story. He understood her, and she understood him. They knew where they came from and where they grew up so there weren't any secrets between them, also they both understood the importance of their 'family' and Max knew that she loved Alec and most importantly she also knew that the feeling was mutual.

So there she was sitting at the small table sipping what ever was left of her drink and playing Cindy's words over and over again in her head.

"Sugah... are you ok? I'm sorry if what I said has upset you, but I think it's about time someone took that blindfold off." Cindy said.

"I'm fine, and I know that what you have said is true, I just never wanted to admit it. But now is the time for me to face it." Max let out a heavy sigh. And then she added in cheerful voice

"Who wants more coffee?"

"I thinks that after all that coffee, I can stay up late with ya'll and pretend that I have some shark DNA." OC said laughing.

Dana and Cindy walked to the lounge room to see what's on the box, while Max went to get changed in her tracksuit.

And as soon as she walked in she gasped as she saw the big red box on the bed, which was nicely wrapped and also had a small card, which said: 'Maxie' in Alec's handwriting.

She went over and carefully opened the box and took all the wrapping paper off of the beautiful blood red long dress. She quickly striped her clothes off and put the dress on. It looked stunning on her. The dress was definitely her colour with a cut on the right side, which was about ten centimetres away from her hipbone. She just couldn't stop looking at her reflection in the mirror doors of the wardrobe. She started walking towards the bathroom to see what she could do with her hair, but on the way she bumped into another box, which was lying on the floor.

She lifted it of the floor and put it on the bed. Max was curious what was in the box, so she lifted the top and saw a pair of red high heels, small sparkling red purse and a note.

It said: 'Maxie meet me at the Alameda restaurant. There's a taxi waiting for you downstairs. I'll see you soon. Love Alec.'

As soon as she read it she put the shoes on, put some make up on and shucked the lip-gloss into the purse together with her mobile phone.

-----------------------------------------------------

The ride in the taxi seemed so long, even though only five minutes has passed since she left home. Max didn't feel too comfortable with the driver staring at her from the rear mirror, mostly focusing on her cleavage. She thought about putting a jacket on, but decided against it because it was a very warm night.

Another two minutes have passed and they got off of the main road and turned into a dark alley. Now Max was nervous even though she knew that she could take care of herself, this gave her a bad feeling.

Suddenly the car stopped Max was ready to get out of the cab and ask what the hell was going on. But the driver auto locked all the doors, she tried to open the windows but they were power windows and since the driver took the keys out and stepped out of the vehicle for a smoke it was hopeless and the windows just happened to be bullet-proof. Even in darkness Max could see the driver was smiling.

"You're gonna make me a lot of money with that pretty face and body, you little whore."

"Oh you're so not getting away with this." Max said icily, which send chills down the driver's spine.

She got her phone out of the purse and dialled Alec, but her battery died just before the call got connected.

The driver underestimated her, he thought that she was an easy catch, but he was so dead set wrong.

Max knew that she had to get the driver to open the door, so she pretended that she dialled the police and gave her location, after that the 'hanged up'. The driver was surprised how the passenger remained calm, but that didn't stop him from opening only the driver's door and taking a small handgun out from underneath of the seat. Just then he unlocked the back door and stepped back and motioned Max with the gun in his right hand to get out of the car.

"Your gonna be very sorry that you made that phone call." The driver said almost laughing.

"When I'm through with you, you'll beg for me to kill you. I promiss." Max said as she stepped out of the car, her voice was icy cold, her eyes were focused on the driver she was looking at him just like a predator looks at his prey. Max liked her lips and smirked. With a quick twist she got hold of the gun. And smiled wickedly.

---------------------------------------------------------

Max was standing over a strange form that didn't even look like a body anymore, blood and limbs were all over the place. Just now she had realized what she had done. She killed a man, not just killed him, but also tortured him, and just as she promised he begged her on his knees.

She grabbed her purse and ran as fast as she could. She was couple of blocks away from the restaurant when she realised that she couldn't go inside with blood on her feet and hands, she wondered how the blood didn't get on the dress.

As she entered the restaurant she spotted Alec sitting at the table on the far left corner.

She walked in and sat down at the table.

The time went by really fast, but it was a great first date, they ate, had couple of drinks, danced and most importantly she got her mind of Logan and the 'incident' that happened not so long ago, but Max didn't want to go there, she just wanted to forget. But deep down she knew that she wasn't angelic, she had a dark side too, just like everyone else, but it felt different, because she actually enjoyed killing him...
