They reach Max's messy apartment. Max sits down on his couch, grabbing another whiskey bottle. Same one Michael drinks conviently enough. Michael sarcastically says how nice it looks, Max sarcastically says ''thanks for noticing.''
"Seriously though.. Why you living like this?.. Scrambling around. Sitting in bars all day." Michael asked, having a few blood marks on his blue suit, but it's otherwise clean.
"Maybe I just haven't the right person too put a bullet though my head, I just don't know" Max replies.
"The job is still open Max.. We can get you work.. Work that only a guy like you could do" Michael said, sitting next to him, pulling out a cgar.
"You can get me job where I sit at a bar feeling sorry for myself? Where do I sign up" Max said sarcastically. Michael chuckled. ''I'm serious though.'' He said, before puffing the cigar.
"(Sighs) No thanks pal.. I think I should just lay low for a bit befo-''
Max gets interrupted when they hear cars pull up, and outside they hear an old guy shouting out orders. .
"You, I want on the roof!.. And you, I want every fucking corner, covered!"
"Who's that?" Michael asked as the two approach a window.
"Anthnoy DeMarco, the father of that kid in the bar." Max said dryly, drinking more of the whiskey.
"I'M COMING AFTER YOU, YOU MOTHER FUCKING, MURDERING BASTARD! ME AND A HUNDRED ANGRY GREESE BALLS!" Anthony screamed violently.
"Seems about right" Michael said dryly.
"MAX PAYNE!.. MAX PAYYYYYNE!.. YOU KILLED MY BOY!.. YOU KILLED MY ONLY SON!"
"We need to get to the roofs" Max said.
"YOUR GONNA SUFFER, YOU MOTHERFUCKER! (voice fades out, and is harder too understand)"
"Your not inviting these guys in?" Michael asked sarcastically, pulling out his pistol again. And the two end up splitting up.
MAX: When have I ever needed too invite trouble in? It always found me. No matter where I hid.
Max and Michael sprint past snipers at the windows, but once they do a lone hitman confronts Max them gunpointm, but is shot by the sudden appearence of Brewer, Max's crazy neighbor.
"Shh.. Don't be afraid of the violence. You think they'll hurt ya. You think they'll char your skin and char your bones, but it'll make you clean in the long run. The joys of hygiene!" Brewer cried, and than ran further into the apartment. Michael looks confusedly at Max, who shrugs.
They keep looking as Brewer draws over men.
"Come too me you sinners, you evil men!" Brewer cried, drawing attention to more mobsters who come to surround him with guns, not noticing his sucide vest.
"You were born, in filth and squalor, but today, you will be cleansed. (pulls the bomb strap) Cleansed in fire!" Brewer cried.
"NOOO!" The three goons screamed, but it was too late, and all four died in a violent explosion.
MAX [narrating]: It was hard too see Brewer go out like that.. But I got too thinking.. It was what he was waiting for.. A chance too make a difference.. Or at least.. That's what helps me sleep at night.
''We best split up, I'll meet you on the roofs.'' Michael said, heading off another direction.
Max reaches the rooftops, and shoots his way though a large number of DeMarco's men with the Uzi he still had from earlier.
Eventually he hides behind, what seems too be a small water tower. Hiding from from a group of 8 goons. Talking about how their gonna deal with Max.
"I saw something!" Cried goon 1.
"Where?" asked goon 2.
"Up there." Said goon 1.
"Where?" asked goon 2.
"Up THERE!" Goon 1 cried, louder.
"Quit your bitching" said goon 2, firing an AK47 at the water tower. But as it begins to fall, Max is revealed, and groans he loudly as he jumps dramatically , killing them all as the water tower falls down with him. After defeating them, Max catches the edge of the roof, hanging there.
Another goon comes from inside and approaches Max but is shot by the sudden enterance of Michael, who found a AK47.
"Need some help?" Michael asked dryly.
"I needed help! FIVE MINUTES AGO!" Max cried angrily.
"Looked like you were doing fine" Michael sassed.
"Well, it doesn't FEEL that way!" Max groaned as Michael helps him up. Max grabbing a MP5 off one of the bodies, saying they should keep going, Anthony will have more where they came from.
And sure enough, they run into more battles, eventually reaching a repair shop.
''Could told me who that kid was.'' Michael said to Max inbetween battles. The battle in the repair shop went on another five minutes, but they manage to win again. Espically with their new guns.
The fight went on for nearly 5 minutes, and eventually they killed them all.
"Need a camel coat, bro!?" Michael asked, after they cleared the area.
"I'm fine with the leather!" Max cried, reloading his MP5.
"There's plenty here goin' begging!" Michael cried.
"This don't show the blood show much!" Max cried.
Honestly I don't see these two having any other kind of relationship, than Snark-to-Snark Combat..
