Part 4
"Dad" Kyle said in a small voice.
"So do you want to tell why you are in here?" Jim asked. He was wearing is police uniform.
"Well Jim, if you must know I am here to get drunk" Maria said and walked up to him so she was standing face to face with him.
"Well Maria I can see that you have succeeded" Jim said to her. Maria lost her balance and fell down to the floor. She started laughing and a second later Liz was laughing also.
"Maria are you OK?" Alex asked as he helps her up. "Yeah dad I am" Maria said and hugged him.
"Shut up Maria" Michael said. It should have been him that she hugged not Alex.
"OK everyone let's go" Jim said.
"Where?" Max asked.
"We are going to the police station" Jim said. They all got sad looks on their faces but they all followed him out to his car. Alex and Kyle help Maria and Liz out because they couldn't stand on there own legs. Max, Isabel, Michael and Tess asked if they needed help but Alex told them sharp that they should stay out of it.
They went down to the police station and the sheriff locked them up in the same cell. Maria and Liz laid on two of the beds. Alex was beside Maria and Kyle beside Liz. Max, Michael, Isabel and Tess sat on the other side of the cell. Kyle and Alex wouldn't let anyone of them near Maria or Liz. An hour had passed and Alex was worried about Maria, she was all wet from sweet and shaking. Alex had gotten a cup of water.
"Maria you need to drink this" Alex said and held the cup in front of her. Maria opened her eyes and looked at Alex. Her eyes were all read and expand.
"Don't want to" Maria shuddered out.
"Please Maria" Alex pleaded.
"Alex I don't feel so good" Maria said and closed her eyes again.
"I know sweetie, just hang in there OK" Alex said and kissed her forehead. He looked over to were Kyle and Liz was.
Liz was now sitting beside Kyle and Kyle had his arm around her for support.
"Kyle how are Liz?" Alex asked.
"She's fine, she is drinking coffee, how's Maria?" Kyle asked and looked over at Maria and Alex.
"Not good, she's like really out of it, I mean something is wrong with her" Alex said and brushed away some hair from her forehead.
"Need any help" Michael asked. He was worried about to, he hated seeing her like this.
"Stay the hell away from us, she needs us not you guys, you are the ones who caused this" Alex said and laid a wet cloth on her forehead. This reminded everyone of when Michael was sick before they healed him.
"What?" Isabel asked. She was really confused.
"Why did you think we drank this much, god sometimes you guys can be really air- headed you know" Liz said angry. She had a major headache and she didn't want to talk to Max or any one of their kind.
"Liz please calm down OK, and Alex let's switch" Kyle said and rose from Liz's bed.
"OK" Alex said and rose from Maria´s and walked over to Liz and sat down beside her.
"Hey Liz, how are you feeling?" Alex said as he but his arm around her shoulder.
"I am fine Alex, I just have a major headache" Liz said and smiled at him.
Kyle walked over to Maria and sat down beside her sleeping form.
"Maria it's Kyle, Maria open your eyes" Kyle said but she didn't. Kyle became really worried and started shaking her.
"MARIA!" Kyle yelled and shook her even harder. "Maria" Liz yelled as she races to Maria´s bed. Michael looked worried as Liz, Alex and Kyle tried to wake her. Michael rose to his feet and walked towards Maria but Max took a hold on him and held him back. Max knew that they didn't want their help.
"Dad!" Kyle yelled out towards his dad's office. Jim came running threw the door.
"Kyle what's wrong?" Jim asked.
"Maria wont wake up" Kyle said worried. Jim opened the cell and ran over to Maria and looked at her.
"Maria it's Jim, please wake up" he said and shook Maria more.
"Mmm....Michael" Maria mound out. That was it, Michael fought Max´s hold but Max held him hard.
"Max let me go! She needs me!" Michael yelled frustrated.
"Michael calm down and let them handle it" Max said in a calm voice.
"Max, I need to help her, like you needed to save Liz" Michael said. Max let go of Michael because he knew what he meant by that. Michael ran towards Maria but Alex stopped him before he got to Maria.
"Whitman get out of my way" Michael said and tried to push him away.
"No you took one of the persons I care about so I am not letting you near Maria" Alex yelled at Michael. He didn't want Michael near Maria again.
"Alex, I can help, I want to help" Michael pleaded with him.
"Well we don't want your help" Alex spit out.
"Alex we want to help" Max said. He, Isabel and Tess stood now behind Michael and tried to reason with Alex and the others.
"No you don't" Alex said to them. Max turned his head towards Liz and she nodded. She walked up to Alex and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Alex let him help" Liz said. "No" Alex said angry.
"Alex she is my sister to" Liz said and looked at Maria, who was getting worse. Alex looked at her to and then turned his head towards Michael.
" OK, but if you hurt her even more then I will kill you" Alex said and pointed his finger at Michael.
"Me to" Kyle said from the bed. Alex let Michael through and Michael sat down beside Maria on the bed.
He touched her face and started building a connection between them. But something wasn't letting him in or rather Maria wasn't letting him in.
"Maria, please" Michael whispered into her ear. Then the connection became stronger and Michael healed her. When the connection broke Michael want back to the other side of the cell. He saw things in Maria´s head that made him want to kill him self. He saw him self through Maria´s eyes, all the love and hate.
Maria woke up and looked around the room and her eyes stopped at Max, Tess and Isabel who was beside her bed. "Ohhh, what happened?" Maria asked as she rose from the bed to a sitting position.
"You got sick and Michael healed you" Liz said as she hugged a surprised Maria. Maria finally understood and became angry.
"What! And you let him?" She snapped at Alex, Liz and Kyle.
"Maria I know how you feel but you were really freaking us out" Alex said and hugged her. He had been really scared for Maria.
"Sorry Alex" Maria said and smiled at him.
"I am just glad you are OK" Alex said and hugged her again.
"Me to" Liz said and hugged her.
"Me to sis" Kyle said and hugged her.
"Thanks bro." Maria said and laughed.
"Since when are you siblings" Isabel asked.
"Since Jim and Amy got married and we moved in to the DeLuca house" Kyle said to Isabel.
"Sorry to interrupt but were are we?" Maria said and looked around the room and she didn't recognize it.
"In jail" Alex said in a low tone.
"What!" Maria yelled out and then she saw Jim there. "Yes and you will stay here all night" Jim said and smiled.
"Jim, dad please let us go" Maria said and tried to go whit the whole "I am your new daughter thing".
"Well Maria I am glad you called me that but us parents thought it would be a good learning experiment" Jim said and walked out of the cell and looked it.
"Well Jim thanks allot" Maria said angry and sat down on one of the beds.
"Anytime Maria" Jim said and walked into his office.
