Part 4
(The next morning at school)
"Hey" Max said as he, Michael and Isabel walked up to Liz and Alex by Liz's locker.
"Hey" Liz said back looking into Max's eyes.
"So where is Maria?" Michael said looking around.
"She doesn't go to school in the morning, that is her MO!" Alex said smiling.
"Ok" Michael said and walked to his next class. Alex and Isabel followed.
"So Liz, how are you?" Max said.
"I am fine" said Liz avoiding eye contact.
"Really?" Max said and looked at Liz with those understanding eyes.
"Yeah, no, I am worried about Maria. What if she leaves us, I can't deal with that" Liz said almost crying.
"I know, I don't think she will do that. Come on let's go to class." Max said as he took her hand and led her to her next class.

Later that day at lunch. Alex and Liz sat at one of the tables.
"So is she here yet?" Michael said as he, Max and Isabel came up to the table and sat down.
"NO, now I am worried, what if she left?" Alex said as he looked at Liz.
"I know, after school we go to Hank's, ok Alex?" Liz said with understanding eyes.
"NO, I want to go now" Alex said angrily. He wasn't going to wait because of school.
"We have to finish school first" Liz said.
"No, I am going now" Alex said as he rose from his seat. "No, and that's final" Liz said angry. He couldn't do that. It would just bring suspicion.
"Whatever" said Alex as he left the table. Isabel rose from her seat and followed him into the school.
(Later after school at the jeep)
"Liz get in and let's go" Alex said angry. He wanted to leave already to go to Maria's place.
"Wait! We want to come" Max said as he ran up to the jeep with Michael and Isabel behind him.
"No, this is between us" Alex said angry.
"Liz, please, don't keep us out of this" Max pleaded.
"Ok, follow us in Michael's car" Liz said and sped away.
"So this is were Maria lives" Isabel said as she got out of Michael's car.
"Yeah, she lives with her foster father Hank." Alex said as he as he hurried up to the trailer.
"Why doesn't she lives with you?" asked Isabel.
"She ran from us, when they found us in the dessert" Liz said.
"Oh, I am sorry" Isabel said. She didn't mean to hurt anyone.
"It's ok" Liz said looking at Isabel.
Knock, knock!
"That is weird no one is home" Michael said looking through the window.
"Let me" Alex took a hold of the doorknob and suddenly the door opened.
"Maria!" Liz called when they stepped through the door.
"How can she live here? " Alex said to Liz.
"I live here just fine" Maria said coming out of her room. Her face was covered with bruises.
"Maria, what happened?" Alex said as he walked over to Maria.
TBC.
