Max sighed as Willow left the apartment to search through the security office. It wasn't that Max believed that Winter was fine and had just walked away for whatever reason. It was the fact she could see Willow's mind becoming distracted.
Sure she was focused on the finding of Winter, but Max had a feeling that she wasn't keeping track of her surroundings as much as she normally would have. Or, she usually got this way and had someone to watch her back. Like Winter. This time Max would have to be that person. Her stomach had settled, more or less, and the pounding of her head quieted to little more than an annoying pulsating at her temples, but it was small enough of a pain that she could ignore it. She made her way down the hall after Willow,
watching for signs of movement or watchful eyes. If they had made more noise, she would've suspected people watching from their peepholes as she often found to be the case when she would wander through similar buildings while on her own cases. Especially when she was searching for her missing heroes.
She found the office easily enough. The door was open, but not ajar, and she could hear Willow softly working through the computer.
Max slipped inside, silent as a shadow for which her new Alias came from and stood behind Willow. If the girl noticed her presence,
she didn't say anything. Max watched the footage over Willow's shoulder and noticed how it cut out. The girl let out a sound of frustration and went back to trying to find the file. Max broke the silence. "What if they have abilities and used them to block the footage? Erase part of it or something?"
