Scene 4
(Max walks in the house to see Alex and Rebecca sitting at the kitchen table working on a science project)
Rebecca- okay so Mercury is filled with gasses, because it is so close to the sun.
Alex- no, no, no.
Max- (interrupting) hey guys.
Rebecca- hey Max.
Max- have you seen Isabel.
Rebecca- no, she hasn't gotten home yet, why? Is everything okay?
Max- yeah, if she gets back for me, can you tell her to meet me at the Crashdown.
Rebecca- sure. (Max leaves)
Alex- okay, Mercury has an atmosphere like the moon.
(he keeps explaining, the next day at school, Liz drags Max into the other room)
Liz- okay Max, who else knows this.
Max- no one, we don't tell anyone, we sort of think our lives depend on it.
Liz- wait, what do you mean we? (confused)
Max- Isabel, and Michael are also.
Liz- oh,
okay. (kind of shocked, and freaked out) what about Becca?
Max-
Becca isn't, I was adopted, she is my parent's biological daughter.
Liz- does she know.
Max- yes.
Liz- you know Sherrif Valenti, suspects you.
Max- (getting scared) what?
Liz- he's been asking me all of these questions, he is on to you.
(Max gets really scared and walks away, and runs out of the school)
