Chapter Ten

Liz was completely bummed out, and there was nothing to be done about it. It had been two weeks since the big blow out at the Crashdown, and no one had made up. Michael had made no move at all in telling her he was sorry, and she was down right pissed off. The only people she kept in constant contact with were Isabel, Kyle, and Alex. The Spring Fling was only five days away and she had been hoping to get at least one dance with Michael, but now she wouldn't dance with him if he paid her. Kyle was still being nice to her and was going to take her as his date. Isabel and Alex were going together, and it was about time. He would be leaving for Switzerland in two weeks, and Liz couldn't get him to stay. He'd told her that he'd be just a phone call away, but that wasn't good enough for Liz. She'd come to really depend on Alex as a confidant and here he was, leaving. She was currently upstairs in her room, when her stomach rumbled. She'd skipped her dinner because she knew Michael was working downstairs. She sighed, opened her door, and headed down the steps. When she got into the kitchen, no one was there, but she could hear people talking in the dining area. She glanced out the serving window and saw Kyle, Isabel, Maria, Alex, Max, and Michael sitting at a table, laughing together. To say she was stunned was an understatement.

Liz decided not to draw any attention to herself, so she went about her business in the kitchen and fixed herself a sandwich and grabbed some chips. She told herself she was making a cold dinner because the grille was clean, not because she didn't want to make any noise. When she had everything ready to go, she turned around and saw Max standing in front of her.

" Are you going to come out here and hang with us?" Liz took a deep breath and moved around him.

" No, I'm studying right now, and I'm going back to my room. Plus, I really don't have anything to say to anyone right now." He sighed and put his hands in his pockets.

" That's a shame really because everyone is wanting to see you. You've been avoiding everyone for two weeks, don't you think it's time to face the world?" She glared and sidestepped him once more.

" No, I really don't. I meant what I said that day, Max. I've been talking to Kyle, Isabel, and Alex, so that's enough for me. If you don't mind getting out of my way, I'm going back to my room." After moving around Max once more, she was up the steps and into her room. Max watched her go with sadness in his eyes.

He walked back into the dining area and shrugged when they all looked at him expectantly. He'd been the elected person to go and invite her to the gathering. They were all trying to make amends with each other, but she wasn't letting them. Max had come to terms with her and Michael's relationship, and he was happy for them. He'd broken up with Tess because she kept trying to get him to have sex with her. Sure, he wanted to have sex, but he knew why she was trying to get him to. Maria had even approached everyone and apologized. She was still dating James, and she really didn't want to lose Liz as a friend. Michael was still trying to figure out what to say to her for leaving her out there like that. When he sat back down, Alex spoke up.

" She wouldn't come out here and hang?" Max shook his head and sighed.

" No, she made it perfectly clear that she wants nothing to do with any of us except you three. Who knows, seeing you hanging with us again, she might sever ties with you next. I've never seen her so...angry. She looks like she hasn't slept since the big blow out, and I don't know what to do." Isabel sighed and began to speak.

" I propose a kidnaping. I know that sounds severe, but we've come to an impasse. She won't see to reason, so we have to hijack her. This sounds weird coming from me, I know because we never used to get along, but dammit she's my friend now. I want to know why she won't let us make amends with her. She's been talking to Kyle and Alex, but she's been slowly pulling from me too. I'll call her, and she'll keep them down to like four minutes...I timed them."

Liz was up in her room, unable to eat. She hadn't told anyone in the group, but she was having a terrible time sleeping. Every time she closed her eyes she'd get these images in her head, and she couldn't get them out until they played out. She'd started writing them down so she could remember them all. All she could see was an abandoned building, Alex and a girl resembling Tess. She hadn't been able to see what happened inside the building yet, but she kept seeing Alex getting hurt or killed. It was one of the reasons she didn't want him leaving for Switzerland, but if she told them that, they'd think she was losing it. She didn't know where the images were coming from, but she didn't want to tell anyone either.

Alex was grinning from ear to ear as he listened to Isabel talk about this plan to abduct Liz. She had a perfect plan, one that they intended to execute. Michael and Isabel were going to several ATM's and get money out. Alex and Kyle were going to get Liz with the pretense of studying for a test, while Maria and Max were going to make arrangements at a local airport to leave Roswell for a day or two. They'd ask their parents if they could take a few days off, and they'd handle telling Liz's parents something. With the plan in motion, the broke apart to set the ball rolling.

They were going to do it the next morning, so they went ahead and asked their parents. Isabel and Max were able to convince their parents that they were going to a museum in Sante Fe, and that they'd need to spend at least two nights. Their parents eventually agreed and gave them a temporary credit card with a limit of $2000.00. Isabel and Michael had already manipulated the ATM's and got $3000.00. They'd fixed it so the camera couldn't see them, and they couldn't be traced. They had every intention of returning the money because they were taking another trip to Las Vegas. Only this time, Isabel was making the ID's so they looked and sounded real.

Alex had a hard time convincing his parents to let him go. They were already letting him take two months off to tour Switzerland, but they weren't paying for that. They finally agreed and paid for a plane ticket. They then gave him $800.00 for a room and food. He'd tried to get more from them, but they said they were giving him spending money for the other trip too, so he conceded. Michael had raided his savings from working at the Crashdown and had $3586.36 to his name. He hadn't told anyone this, but there it was. They knew that Maria wouldn't be able to get much from her mother, but every little bit helped. Maria's mother absolutely loved the idea of her going to a museum, so she forked over $600.00. That only left her with like $200 for food and room, but Maria would make do.

They went as a group over to Liz's parents. They were careful not to let her see them, but they took her father aside and explained that they were taking her away as a thank you. They told this big story about her helping them with a big test, and wanted to take her to this exhibit in Santa Fe. They explained they could pay for everything but her plane ticket. Mr. Parker was actually really receptive to the idea and gave them $1000.00. After the café had closed down, Alex gave them a grand total.

" Okay, we have a grand total of $10986.36. It'll cost us $330 a piece for a plane ticket, so that's the big kicker. That'll leave us with almost nine thousand, minus a suite for three nights...we'll have about almost eight thousand to spend between the seven of us. We'll each have a little over a thousand to spend." They all whooped at their victory, and then came to one huge problem. How were they going to get Liz on that plane?
