Part 1
Maria DeLuca looked at the four people entering
the Crashdown...the pod squad.
She turned to her best friend Liz Parker.
"I think you would like to take your break now"
she said.
"Why?" Liz asked.
"Because prince charming just came in" Maria
said, referring to Max Evans, Liz´s boyfriend.
Liz turned around and found herself staring in
to Max´s eyes. "I think I´ll do that" she said without taking her eyes off Max.
Liz started to walk away and heard Maria yell
behind her. "Tell Michael he owes me 10 bucks!"
"You can tell him your self" Liz yelled back.
"They're here to eat you know. They are going to need a waitress.
"But you..." Maria started.
"I'm on my break, remember" Liz said with a big
smile on her face.
"Yeah, yeah… I always get to do the hard work
around here" Maria muttered to her self.
"So what can I get my alien friends today"
Maria asked with a cheerful voice. "Just the usual" Max said smiling at her.
"Yeah, and can I get a kiss from one of the
waitresses?" Michael Guerin asked.
"Which one?" Maria asked innocently. "Oh,
anyone will do" Michael teased.
"Please stop flirting and just do it already"
Isabel Evans said annoyed.
"I'm just wondering spaceboy" Maria said,
ignoring Isabel´s comment. "When did this sudden change in mood happen? Yesterday
you said you were pissed of at me"
"Well today is a new day" Michael said and
dragged Maria down on his lap and kissed her passionately.
Tess Harding, who had been quiet ever since the
pod squad came to The Crashdown, suddenly screamed.
Everybody turned to look in the direction Tess
was looking and realised why she had screamed.
A man across the room just pulled out a knife.
"Okay, so where is Maria DeLuca?" the man
asked.
Maria froze. Why was this man looking for her? And why did
he have a knife?
"Don't say anything" she heard Michael whisper
in her ear.
"What are you two whispering about?" The
man asked, pointing the knife at Michael and Maria. He walked towards the booth
they were sitting in.
He looked
them over and his eyes stopped at Maria´s chest.
"So you
are Maria DeLuca" he said looking at Maria´s nametag.
"Well..." Maria started"You don't look like I
had pictured you" he said, interrupting her. He grabbed Maria´s arm and pulled
her up, but Michael pulled him away and placed himself protectively in front of
Maria.
"If you touch her again I will kill you"
Michael said, trying to stay calm.
"Oh, how cute...a protective boyfriend" the man
said sarcastically. "Maybe you would like me to take this little girl instead"
he said and pulled a little girl in the nearest booth over to him.
He held the knife to the girls' throat and
looked at Michael.
The little girls' mother let out a high scream.
"No! Please don't" Maria pleaded and
pushed Michael aside, so she stood and looked the man in the eye.
"Do what ever you want with me, but please
don't hurt anyone else". Maria was so scared that she was surprised that she
could even talk.
"Maria...Don't go with him" Liz said with tears
in her eyes.
"Liz, I have to. I can't let anyone else get
hurt" Maria said looking at her best friend. She turned to the man. "Let the
little girl go" she demanded. The man did what she said, and the little girl
went straight into her mother's open arms.
The man grabbed Maria by the arm and went for
the door.
The five teens could just sit there and watch
an armed and probably dangerous man, take their friend away.
As soon as the door closed, Max, Michael, Liz,
Isabel and Tess rose to their feeth and ran after the man and Maria.
But it was too late. They got out just in time
to see a car drive of with Maria in it.
"Oh my god" Liz said clearly terrified. What
are we going to do?" Max went up to her and took her in his arms. "Max she's
gone...Maria is gone." Liz said and couldn´t hold it in anymore. She started to
hysterically cry into Max´s chest.
"It is going to be okay" Max said. "We are
going to get her back. Everything will be okay". But everybody could hear the
fear in Max´s voice.
He was just as afraid as the others.
Michael pulled Isabel and Tess into a hug.
"Why didn't you use your powers?" Liz asked
between cries . Her voice was so quiet that the others almost didn't hear her.
"I couldn't" Tess said. "It was something
stopping me". "Me too" Max added.
"Something terrible is happening. And it seems
to have something to do with the fact that we are aliens" he continued.
"I don't care what's going on with our
powers" Michael said. "All I care about is finding Maria".
"Of course that is what's important" Isabel
said. "I've already lost Alex, and I don't know what I would do if we lost
Maria too". At the mention of Alex's name she started to cry even harder then
before.
"So what's the plan?" Tess asked. She looked
around at the faces of her friends. Nobody had an answer to her question. Until
they figured out where Maria was, all they could do was hope...
