Max and Warren walked up the driveway that lead to the small house, and both of them where anxious and nervous. Max hadn't spoken to Joyce or David in a little over a month, and she didn't want to bring them bad news, but she knew figured it would be better if she informed them of Nathan's release from prison, as opposed to other means.
"I got your back Max." Warren said in a clam tone that masked his nervousness.
"Thanks Warren, trust me, this will be one of the hardest things I've ever done." Max said with a sigh as she walked up to the door and rang the doorbell, and a few seconds later, the door opened and Joyce Price opened the door.
"Max, Warren, it's good to see the both of you," Joyce said as she walked out and gave Max a soft hug.
"It's good to see you , Joyce." Max said as Joyce broke off the contact and gave Warren a soft hug.
"I must say you're here unexpected." Joyce said as she lead them inside her home, and they took a seat at the dining room table.
"I've got news for you and David, news that I feel you should know, news you deserve to know." Max said, and that earned an anxious look from Joyce.
"David is out right now, but I'll pass on any message to him that you tell me." Joyce said, and that caused Max and Warren to exchange a look, but they both reached a silent agreement.
"Joyce, I don't know how to say this, so I'll just say this... Nathan was released from prison." Max said, and that caused Joyce to pale, and a tear to form in her eyes that she quickly wiped away before it could be seen.
"When did he get out, and why are you telling me?"Joyce asked Max and Warren.
"I don't know when he got out, but he apparently got out due to a combination of a plea bargain, and serving his sentence." Max said, and before Joyce could respond, the front door opened and David walked in, still wearing his security guard attire, and walked into the dining room with a look of surprise on his face.
"Max, Warren,." David said, and that earned a sigh from Max.
"I wish this was a social visit, but as I just told Joyce, it's not a pure social visit." Max said as she informed David of Nathan's release from prison, and that made him take a seat at the table next to his wife.
"When did that son of a bitch get out?" David asked slowly but angrily, and Max could sense his anger building by the second, and she understood why, for David had been the one to arrest Nathan after he had killed Chloe.
"I don't know, but that's the least of our concerns, for what I'm, about to tell you is confidential, it doesn't leave this room, for I called Captain Burns in the car and she gave me permission to tell you what I'm about to say," Max said as she paused to take a breath before continuing, "we believe that a serial killer has made Arcadia Bay his new hunting grounds, and according to a prisoner who knew Nathan, he was obsessed with this killers previous work down in Florida-." Max said before David cut her off.
"I knew it, I knew something was up with Shelly's disappearance!" David said as he pounded a fist on the table.
"Shelly, wait a second," Max said as she quickly put two and two together, "was Shelly a Blackwell graduate?" Max asked David as she thought about the killers most recent killing.
"Yea, she graduated this year, she was a good student, never got into trouble, was a swim team member, oh God, Shelly." David said in a low tone, and that caused Max to think silently to herself, but her concentration was quickly shattered by David speaking up again.
"Where is the son of a bitch, I'm going to kill him when I find him!" David growled as he once again slammed his fist on the table.
'Maybe I shouldn't have told David this,' Max thought to herself, and she decided it was time to do something, something she hadn't done in over eight years, something she didn't even know if she could do anymore, for she was about to rewind time...
Max began to concentrate and raised he hand, and to her surprise, things began to re-wind as she heard mumbled voices and images as time rewound itself a couple of minutes into the past to where David entered the room.
"Max, Warren, I didn't expect to see you two anytime soon." David said as he took a seat at the table, and Max once again explained things, this time leaving out that Nathan was now a suspect, and to her surprise, David seemed a lot less angry as she explained things.
"That went better than expected." Warren said as he and Max excited the house and headed toward Max's car which was parked in the driveway.
"It didn't exactly go smooth." Max said with a sigh, and that earned a confused look from Warren.
"What do you mean, they both seemed a little upset, but not furious... wait a second, did you?" Warren asked as he put two and two together.
"Yea I did, for the first time in eight years." Max said as they entered her car.
"Max, you sure that's a good idea, remember what happened last time you changed the past?" Warren said in a concerned tone.
"I don't think this will matter Warren, I just spared us David's anger at Nathan being a suspect, please trust me that I made the right choice." Max said, and Warren just nodded silently as they pulled unto the road, and headed back towards the station.
So Max used her power for the first time in eight years, do you think it was a wise decision, or an ill advised decision, please let me know what you think.
