Liz sighed as she turned the radio up a bit more. She needed something to keep her

awake, these all night shifts were killing her. Liz was a very gifted biologist but since she

was so young the other scientists didn't really respect her, so they made her stay late for

stupid things. Actually Liz was the top biologist in Houston, but that just gave more fuel

to the fire. Liz's head lulled to the side, she seriously needed to get home before she had a

wreck. Then Liz caught a glimpse of a bright orange sign *Prison Ahead- Do Not Pick

Up Hitchhikers* Liz tensed and looked to her left. There stood a massive prison,

*Michael's in there* she thought to herself and shuttered. Michael had just transferred

there because he had tried to brake out of the prison in Roswell. This prison was top-

notch security prison. For some reason Liz was compelled to follow him, so she

transferred her from the research lab in Roswell. Michael had been in prison since that

fateful night in the dessert.



FLASHBACK

Max stood there is dark eyes guarded. Everyone stood around him in confusion. No one

but Max had any idea why they were all there. Liz looked at him and he looked at her, but

this was not the dreamy look of love he always gave her. This was a cold and

unemotional. Like he was sizing her up or something. Liz knew that their relationship

was over when he told her that he had slept with Tess and now she was carrying his child.

But they had agreed to stay friends, but he looked like he wasn't anybody friends right

now. Tess was huddled against him, her arm around his waist. "We have a traitor among

us." Max said sounding like the king he was. Everyone let out a small gasp. "Someone is

working for Kivar," he said looking down. "Who?" Alex asked. "I don't know but this is

why we are all here, to find out." Alex's face scrunched up for a second but then his eyes

widened. "I know how to find out," he said. *Good ol' Alex he always finds a way * Liz

thought with a smile. Liz saw panic cross Tess's face but before she could say anything

Michael stepped forward. Then everything went in slow motion. An energy ball formed

in Michael's hand. He released it and it hit Alex dead on. Then all hell broke out.

Isabelle crumpled to the floor with tears. Maria went into total hysteria, screaming her

head off. Max held Tess who was sobbing, well maybe she was sobbing a little too hard.

Kyle launched himself at Michael, who stood there dumbfounded. Liz wanted to feel hate,

anger, and sadness. But as she looked at Michael all the emotion she could muster was

pity. It took all Kyle's strength not to pound Michael right then and there while he was on

his cell phone with this dad, telling him to come and bring handcuffs. Liz looked into

Michael's eyes, she had never been too close with him, actually no one had but right now

she could almost hear him call out for help. Liz slumped down to cradle Alex's lifeless

body. That night Michael was arrested for the murder of Alex Whitman.



END FLASHBACK

And there he was, in a high guarded prison. Liz was so lost in her own little world that

she didn't see the person standing in the middle of the road. When she saw him she

swerved quickly to the side of the road. She thought she hit the guy so she decided to get

out and check. She was in such hysterics that she didn't notice that the man was wearing

a prison suit. "Are you okay, I didn't see you" she said in almost a whisper. She got

closer to the man, he was laid face down so she wanted to turn him over to see if he was

alive. She was just about to reach for him when, in lightning speed, the man grabbed her

wrist and whirled behind her pressing against her. She gasped, how was he able to be so

fast? "I won't hurt you as long as you do what you are told, don't scream." He hissed in

her ear. He pushed her against the car, "Your going to drive me where I want to go and

you won't get hurt," he said again. That voice was familiar but she couldn't place it. Her

hand fumbled in her pocket for her car keys when her finger brushed against the pepper

spray that her father had given her before she left, "Can't be to careful," he had said to

her, now she wished she had been. She turned as fast as she could trying to spray it in the

man's face but the stranger was too fast for her, he had her pinned against the car one

hand pinned behind her back. "I told you not to try anything, you're a feisty one aren't

you." The voice was full of arrogance that reminded her of someone. She struggled

against his grasp but he was too strong. "Let me go!" she managed to choke out. The

stranger's grasp lightened but he spun her around to look at her face. "Liz!" his voice was

full of surprise. Liz looked up at the man's face, "Michael!"
