Chapter 2
Maria was talking to Liz from behind the counter at the café about Tess and Max, when the first costumer in three hours walked in and sat down in a booth. "I'll take this one ok chica?" Maria asked looking happy. Liz nodded and silently thanked her best friend. Michael who just started his shift glared at the man who to him looked very suspicious wearing all black and wearing sunglasses inside. Maria walked over to wear the man was sitting. "Welcome to the crash down café. Can I get you something to start?" Maria said trying her hardest to stay cheery. He looked at the menu. "Yes please. I would like a coke and a plate of Saturn ring fries. Also do you know her?" the man asked gesturing to Liz. "Yes that's Liz." Maria replied worried that he was with the F.B.I. or something. "Parker?" he asked sounding as if this was perfectly normal and polite question to ask. "Y…yes, why?" Maria asked sounding even more nervous. "Oh no reason. Are you Miss Deluca? Your tag says Maria." He asked. "Yep that's me." She said sending Michael and Liz a 'help me' glance over her shoulder. "Oh good, I found you first." He said pulling out a box with odd markings on it. He looked up at her and she saw his piercing green eyes. She screamed when she saw him open the box. Michael and Liz started to come over immediately. The man opened the box and threw a bright pink orb at Maria and it hit her in the stomach. She went flying across the floor. Liz ran over to her while Michael punched the man who merely smiled and opened the box pulling out a red orb that hit Michael square in the chest knocking him over then he ran out the door. Max and Tess came running a second later. "We heard Maria scream." Tess explained as Max rushed over to heal them. Before he could even reach them their eyes snapped open. Maria sprung up and hugged him. "Oh Max thank god you came. You're always around there aren't you? You're so brave." Maria told him holding him tighter with every word. "Hey!" Michael yelled as he ripped them away from each other. "Aw, Mikey G you know I love you the best. I was just having fun." Maria said with a pout. "That doesn't matter! You were flirting with him Maria!" Michael shouted at her. "She was?" Max asked clearly confused. Tess groaned and rolled her eyes. Liz looked at the ceiling. "God damn it Maria! You thought I was cheating on you with Courtney, then you go and try to cheat on me with Max of all people!" Michael continued as if he was never interrupted. Then it got quiet. "No seriously she was?" Max said not only breaking the silence but producing groans from the rest of the group.
