Chapter 3
Recap:
They were going to say something when they heard the phone rang. Liz got up and picked it up. "Hello. Liz Parker speaking."
"Sorry to bother you, Miss Parker this is Sheriff Valenti." Sheriff Valenti said from his side of the phone.
"How may I help you Sheriff?" Liz asked worriedly.
When they heard the name of the Sheriff they became alert.
"Miss Parker we had to detain a person who says he knows you. He said his name is David."
"What did he do?" Liz decided to kill David the next time she saw him.
---
In their booth they were oblivious to what was going on. They asked themselves 'who did what???'
"He tried to break into a house," Sheriff Valenti replied tiredly. "And the bail is set to $500."
"I'll be there to get him." Liz was still in disbelief that David managed to get in trouble so fast. 'I bet he just got into town today.' Liz sarcastically thought.
"I'm sorry Miss Parker, but you're under age."
"I know. I'll be there with my lawyer." Liz was slightly agitated, as a sign she was turning the cord around her finger.
"Very well, goodnight Miss Parker." Sheriff Valenti had noticed the edge on her voice.
"Goodnight to you too, Sheriff." Liz was relieved and put down the phone.
When she turned around everyone was staring at her with looks that demanded explanation.
"Everything is ok." Liz's frown said other things. 'It wasn't a total lie everything was okay for them-- it had nothing to do with them, so why worry them? This wasn't their problem.'
"Are you sure?" Maria was worried. She had decided to put the earlier events in the past.
"Yeah, I just have to make a phone call." For the first time that day they saw a smile, even though it didn't reach her eyes, but it was smile non-the less.
"Who are you going to call?" Maria couldn't help but be curious. The others were glad Maria asked that question because they also wanted answers.
"I'm going to call my lawyer." Liz turned around and went into the office to make that call.
'A lawyer? Why does she need to call a lawyer?' The question plagued their minds.
----
Liz sat on top of the desk near the phone and started dialing Mr. Evans phone number. "Mr. Evans, this is Liz Parker. I'm sorry to bother you at this hour."
"That's fine. Is something wrong with Isabel, Max or Michael?"
"No. They are fine. It just-- Do you remember David?" Liz didn't know how to bring the topic up with him. He was one of the few people who knew the truth about who David was.
"Yes, I remember him. I haven't seen him in a long time. He was always got into trouble. What did he do?"
Liz looked at the door to make sure no one was near. "He tried to break into a house and Sheriff Valenti arrested him. Bail is $500. I have the money but they won't let me bail him out because I'm a minor."
"You want me to bail him out, right?"
"If it's not too much trouble, I can wait until morning." Liz was nervous, but was thinking 'It wouldn't be so bad if David spend the night in jail, it can be a lesson and he sure deserves one.'
"I can do it tonight," He was already picking up the clothes he would wear.
"Can I go with you?" Liz didn't want to miss the opportunity to scold David.
"Are you sure you want to come?"
"Of course, I'm sure." Liz couldn't believe he would ask that question.
Mr. Evans knew better then to argue with her. She could be stubborn when she wanted to be. Something she had in common with Max.
"Okay, do your parents know he is here?" He had a feeling that the answer would be a negative. 'They never approved of him.'
"No, they don't."
"I'll be there in half-an-hour."
"Thanks. Bye." Liz was kind of embarrassed. 'The things you have to do for-' Liz was brought out of her thoughts by a sound. When she look at the door she found Maria and Isabel there.
Maria got closer to Liz, "Are you finished?"
Liz got up from the desk. "Yeah, I just have to get something. I'll be out in a minute."
Maria and Isabel looked at each other. Like saying 'why doesn't just say get out?'
Isabel was pissed off. "If you want us to go just say so." She turned and left, not waiting for a reply. Maria was soon behind her.
Liz just wanted to bash her head against a wall. David always managed to put her in compromising positions. Now she had another reason to kill him.
'Now where do I get the $500?' Liz thought eyeing the safe where the money made from the Crashdown was put. 'If I take the money from there, I would just be borrowing it, until David gives it back to me.' 'I mean, there is no other way.' She thought this, as she opened the safe and began to take out the $500.00. She put the money inside her pocket, and came out to the front of the Café. 'Just five minutes until Mr. Evans gets here.' 'Where did the time go?'
When she looked around she saw that they were still there. 'Uh-Oh. Mr. Evans will be here soon and they will see him, and then for sure they would ask questions.'
When she was about to say something she knew it was to late, for the bell at the door sounded, indicating that someone came in. She knew it was Mr. Evans. 'Right on time.'

Mr. Evans POV
When I came in I saw all the kids were there. I was going to say something, but when I saw Liz's panicked look, I knew she hadn't told them anything, so I wasn't going to say anything either. I heard the girl, Maria, I think asking, "Mr. Evans, what a surprise! What brings you here? I knew she was nervous, her voice told me as much. I was curious and wanted to know the reason for her nervousness, but I was caught off guard by her question.
---
Maria POV
When I saw Mr. Evans I was nervous. I wonder does he know something? Is that why he is here? Did he found out that Isabel, Michael and Max are aliens? I had to say something. "Mr. Evans, what a surprise! What brings you here?" I knew my voice revealed how I felt, and that was, that I was nervous. I knew he was caught off guard by my question and I wondered why?
---
Max and Isabel POV
Max and Isabel had similar thoughts running through their minds. They were surprised to see their father there. 'What is he doing here?'
When they heard Maria ask what brought him there, they waited for him to answer. When he didn't, they asked again, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
---
Mr. Evans POV
Mr. Evans didn't know how to answer them. He was a lawyer, but he was still caught off guard. He hadn't expected them to be there.
"I came becau--"
---
Liz POV
I knew they would ask questions, I saw how nervous they were. I looked at Maria and I could tell she was nervous, even without hearing her voice. Michael just blended into the shadows just observing, but nervous none-the less. Isabel and Max were scared-- that much I could tell. They were scared that maybe he knew the truth about them, and that's why he was there.
When I heard Maria asked that question I panicked. I hadn't told Mr. Evans that they didn't know but when I saw his eyes, he knew I haven't told them. I also knew he was caught off guard by the question and the others could also tell. I was glad for his silence, but when I heard Isabel and Max ask him the question again, and I heard him beginning to answer, I cut him off.
"I came becau--"
Liz made her presence known. "Mr. Evans, I'm ready to go."
