A/N: Again thank you to all of the positive reviews, but I would like to point a few things out from one review though. Somebody asked how it was that Alec and Max got a marriage license since they technically don't exist. Well, this is a work of fiction, so really, it doesn't matter how they got it, but for argument's sake, we'll say Lydecker gave them new information when he left them.
Another thing is I'm not very big on putting details. I tell my readers what I think they should know, when I think they should know it, and nothing more. All details and no dialogue, personally puts me to sleep. If you don't like the way I write then please don't waste your time reading. Also, I don't think there is such thing as too much dialogue as long as it's moving the story foward, so again, if the dialogue bothers you, don't let me stop you from doing things you would rather do besides reading my story. As for my BETA reader, I was greatly insulted by the fact you called her out. If you didn't like something I wrote do NOT blame her for it. Her job is to proof read it and make sure everything is clear. She tells me if there is a problem and I fix it. She checks for spelling and grammatical errors, and will give me her imput from time to time. But this is my story and in the end I am the one who chooses what goes into the final draft, so if you have any problem with the story NEVER blame Sam, blame me.
Now, on with the story...
"Great. Just great."
"What do we do now?" Alec asked.
"I don't know." Max realized they were still in what they slept in. "Get dressed."
The police continued to pound on the door. "I said 'open up!'"
"We could run." Alec suggested as he put some pants on.
"Where would we go? Our faces have been plastered all over the news! We held up a casino for God's sake! If we try to go anywhere, somebody's going to recognize us!" Max pulled up the shirt she was wearing, before she realized Alec was standing in front of her.
"Turn around!"
"I've seen them before." Alec smirked.
"But you don't remember what they look like and I don't plan for you to ever find out. So, turn around!"
Alec's smile faded and he rolled his eyes as he turned his back to Max and put his shirt on.
"You can turn back around now." Max told him as she finished getting dressed.
Alec scratched his head as the pounding continued. "Well, we could turn ourselves in."
"Are you crazy?" Max asked and she popped the side of his head.
"Hey!" Alec screeched as he put his hand to the spot above his ear that Max hit.
"We can't turn ourselves in! Knowing our luck, White's probably seen this. I mean, robbing a casino calls for national coverage. How do we know these aren't his men?" Max said motioning toward the door.
"We're busting down the door!" The head cop called from outside.
"Well, we don't have much time, Maxie."
"Stop calling me that! This is NOT the time." Max looked out the window. They were pretty far up. She looked above her and noticed several buildings close together. 'I could make that.' She thought. "Come on. We're making a run for it."
"Didn't I just suggest that?" Alec asked with a confused look.
"Just shut up and come on." Max made sure she had the money. She might not have been robbing the casino consciously, but she robbed it fair and square. No way was she leaving the money for some cops to take it away. They grabbed any important stuff laying around. Alec picked the marriage license up, making a crack about hanging it up at "our new house."
"We don't have a new house." Max told him as she opened the window and began to climb out with Alec right behind her.
"Don't shoot the idea down just yet." Alec said climbing out of the window as Max began to manuever her way against the side of the hotel. Alec followed her movements and continued, "We could get a nice little cottage with a white picket fence."
Max stopped and turned to look at Alec. "Boy, you trippin'." she simply stated, then started up again.
"Well, you just think about it." Alec assured her.
"Yeah...okay..." Max said with an 'as if' tone of voice. They made their way to a ladder and began climbing up to the roof.
"There they are!" They heard somebody yell. They stopped and saw a cop with his head outside of the window.
"Go!" Alec told Max and she quickened her pace up the ladder. When they reached the top, they looked around. "What do you suggest we do now?" Alec asked.
"Follow me." Max began to run for the edge and jumped onto the next building. They did this until, the buildings became too far apart. Max spotted an empty car below them, so they slid down the ladder and walked over to the car.
Alec opened the passenger's door. "It's unlocked."
Max opened the driver's side and pulled the keys out of the ignition. "They should know two casino robbing transgenics are on the loose. Get in."
"Don't mind if I do."
A/N 2: Sorry it took so long to update. These past couple of days have a been a little hectic.
