Max didn't realize how badly things would blow up in his face. He thought Aaron would have his way with the girl and keep his mouth shut so he wouldn't get in trouble.
Now Lacy was mad at him but at least she wasn't suspicious that he contacted Aaron. She trusted his blind devotion too much, not realizing he had his own agenda.
Gliding his way through the police's interrogation was simple. He told them everything he did that night excluding the twenty or so minutes he and Lacy spent going up to the fifth floor to get those pictures.
He hoped Lacy had enough common sense to destroy the SIM card of the camera so it couldn't be traced back to her. He might have to remind her later.
It was unfortunate that his plan didn't pan out. Aaron clearly wasn't happy that he didn't get the girl—the ice emanating off of him was at least five times stronger than usual.
