Disclaimer: I don't own Dark Angel, blah, blah, blah…
Notes: Just a short little chapter that I simply had to get off my chest. If anyone has any ideas how he can go about getting Max back let me know.
Thanks again to: JG, Bree, Cora, Alanna84, X5-459, Suenooneus, mel11: Thank you all so much for reviewing.
A reader: Thank you, I only have five more left, but sadly one of them is French, my worst subject. Thank you for reviewing.
Babsibaby: I started to get that impression to, that's actually how this idea first popped into my head.
Candyabble: Why would I kill you? I want to thank you for reviewing! I'm not saying a word, as I still haven't quite figured out yet exactly who he's going to recruit, but I have a glimmer of an idea. Thank you for wishing me good luck on my tests. Math, thank gd is over with, but I have French next. Eep! Hope you enjoy the chapter.
Loisen: I know. It was getting so cliché, so I got out my trusty little keyboard, sat down at my computer, and commenced to hack the cliché into itty bitty bits. However, I must sadly admit that my other story Heat Encounter is sort of cliché, although not in Max is a bitch part. Well, anyways, hope you enjoy. And please, review I need to know what you think of it!
Honey X5-452- I know they are, and I'm sorry that they are, but I try and get them up so you guys have something else to read since I don't have the time to spend hours or something on a chapter. Later on they will probably be longer, but right now they are sadly, probably, going to stay short.
Athena80: Thank you and I'm flattered that you like this story when you normally don't like the way it's going. Don't worry I won't delete the story, but as I already said I won't be able to update as quickly as before. Thanks once again.
Aur: Please do bug me. If not I'm not so certain I can stay determined, I sort of have a bad history. I eventually finish what I start, but it depends on how much people bug me as how long the eventually lasts. Thanks for reviewing.
Mzbhve: thanks for reviewing, I'll try not to.
Does any know someone who could beta this or would anyone like to? Please if you would just let me know, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
/But the words get in the way
There's so much I want to say
But it's locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes,
We might fall in love again
I won't even start to cry, and before we say goodbye
I tried to say "I love you", but the words got in the way
I'm trying to say "I love you"
But the words get in the way/
Gloria Estefan's 'When Words Get in the Way'
Alec raced back the way they had come, hoping to catch Kyli and the redhead. He was hoping to gain their assistance in his plan to win Max back. However, knowing females, he reckoned that they would at the very least leave him hanging out to dry for a little while, worrying. That was alright, he couldn't possibly be more nervous than he already was.
He skidded to a stop beside the petite redhead, "Are you Jondy?"
She raised an eyebrow at him, "No." Her voice was as chilly as the arctic wind, but had a faintly southern accent to it (a/n I have no idea where Colorado is, so hopefully it's in the south, and if not, use your imagination). He quickly ran through the list of escape female siblings through his head. Jondy? Apparently not. Syl? No, Max had met her once, apparently she was blonde, and this redheads hair wasn't dyed. Kharla? He gave her a quick professional once over, probable.
"Kharla?" he hazarded again.
"My friends call me Khary," she said.
He flashed her a quick, relieved grin "Khary then-"
She cut him off "I said, my friends call me Khary, but I never said you were my friend."
His mouth dropped open. She enjoyed watching the man who had caused her sister so much pain and heartache, squirm.
He recovered quickly "Alright, well then, Kharla," he was tempted to say one of the many smart-ass comments on his tongue but forcefully bit them down as he reminded himself of this missions objective: getting these women's help, in getting the love of his life back. Women who currently thought he was scum of the earth. A smart ass comment was not going to help with that.
"What happened before was a mistake and idiocy on my part-" Alec hastened to say, desperation for they help colored his voice, and made his voice pick up speed. Convincing people had always been his strong point-
"Tell us something we don't know," Kharla coldly interrupted.
However apparently not with these people when he had hurt their sister. Nevertheless he continued, "and I love her" passion, pain, and love laced his voice as he gave this small declaration. He looked defiantly at the two women. "I want her to be happy, I want to make her happy. I may not be perfect, I've certainly proven that, and I know she deserves perfection, but –still- I want a second chance. I love her, I always will."
Damn! The man could convince a nun to sleep with him; he was that good with words. "And what happened before?"" Kharla pressed.
"I was an ass, who tried to deny my feelings. I didn't want to lose the friendship that we had. What can I say? I'm a screw up. But I'm a screw up who loves your sister with all his idiotic heart." Alec gazed beseechingly at the two women.
The two women exchanged glances and declared-
I should just leave it off right here in an awful cliffhanger, but since I feel bad about not updating recently…
"Count us in."
