Max heard the door open and had at first dismissed it as Ed, but then the sound of a gun cocking let her know it wasn't her roommate. Max slowly stood and turned around, recognizing the voice. Alec? What the hell was he doing here? And why in hell was he aiming a gun at her? What was his dealio? Well, better set the stupid ass straight and get him over himself...that is if she could make it without trying to tear his clothing off of him.
'Alec, it's me Max,' she said, raising her hands, knowing that it was better to show him that she wasn't armed and she wasn't going to attack. 'Put the damn gun down now before someone gets hurt.'
Yeah, and that someone would be him, considering that he was a male and she knew how to kick his ass. Max wouldn't deal with his stupid macho act or his stupidity. She was almost certain that he drew the gun because he woke up here and had no idea where he was and his defense mechanism kicked in. Fight or flight and in an X5's case, it would be fight.
