Liz sat down wearily. It had been a long shift. She reached over to her desk to pick up her journal.

Today is November 4th and I am Liz Parker. Some very strange things have been happening to me, and I don't understand why. Michael and Maria want to head out to the quarry to talk. He says Tess is in my head and that is why I am acting so strange. How can that be?



Max gets up off of Michael's couch to answer the knock at the door. To his amazement, there stands Liz. She is dressed as he has never seen her before. Her hair is all curled around her face in soft ringlets and she is wearing a tight black tank top and the tightest black leather pants he had ever seen.

Before he can say a word, Liz launches herself up into his arms and wraps her legs around his waist.

"Hey, Babe. Miss me?" she asks, pressing kisses to his mouth

"Liz," Max moans, beginning to return his kisses with passion.

"Max, it's been so long since we've seen each other. Have you learned any more about your child? I want to help you any way that I can," she says.

Just then Liz feels someone pull her from Max. Then a hand slaps her across the face. She falls to the floor.

Max turns in rage, grabbing Michael by the collar. Michael gives him a shove and shouts, "Max, just wait, stop for a minute and listen to me."

Rolling his eyes in disbelief, Max turns to help Liz off the floor. But when he reaches out to her, she recoils and says in a dazed voice, "Michael? Max? What are you two doing in my room?"

Michael kneels down beside her and gathers her into his arms as she begins to shake. "Liz, it's ok, it happened again. You are at my apartment."

Liz looks around and sees Max standing over her shooting jealous looks at Michael.

"Oh no," she moans. "I can't believe it happened again."

"Is someone going to tell me what is going on here?" Max demands. "Why did you hit her, Michael? And what is happening again?"

"Lizzie, we have to tell him," pleads Michael. "He is as much a victim as the rest of us."

"Fine, but not here and not now. Take me home so I can change into some normal clothes," she says in disgust noticing what she is wearing for the first time. "Then we'll get Maria and head out to the quarry. We have a lot to talk about."

Without another word, Liz walked out the open door and waited for Michael beside his motorcycle.

"Damn it, Michael. What is going on here?" asks Max.

"You heard her. Not here. Not now. Meet us at the quarry in an hour and you better bring Isabel and Kyle with you," he says helping Liz out the door.
