Part 7
"What! What have you been doing there?" Kyle said surprised.
"I meet this guy Skinn. He took care of me" Maria answered testily. The four aliens got a terrified look on their faces when Maria told the group Skinn's name.
"Maria…how did he, uh, take care of you?" Liz asked her.
"He let me stay with him" Maria said.
"And what did you have to do in return?" Alex asked. He knew that most guys would never let a girl stay in his home if he didn't want something from her.
"I helped him do stuff," Maria answered.
"Like what?" Kyle asked nervously.
"Let's just say we made a living," Maria said.
There was another tense silence.
"So…what made you come back?" Liz wondered.
"We got a gig, robbing someplace here," Maria explained.
"So what happened?" Max asked her.
"What does it look like? I got arrested, OK?" Maria yelled.
"Maria, why are you doing this?" Isabel asked.
"Everyone left me, so I thought for once I was going to be the one that walked. I decided that I wasn't going to let anyone hurt me again. So, I left and found Skinn. He wanted me with no strings attached," Maria said as she looked at Michael.
There was another silence but was interrupted by the sheriff.
"Maria."
"Yeah?" Maria said and rose from the bed.
"You can go. You've been bailed out," the sheriff said to her and opened the cell door.
"See you around," Maria said to them and walked out of the cell.
"Oh, and Maria? I don't ever want to see you in my jail again," the sheriff said to her as she passed him.
"Whatever," Maria answered.
Maria got her stuff and walked out of the police station. She proceeded to light a cigarette. The others went out after her.
They couldn't believe she had started smoking.
"Maria wait…what are you going to do now?" Liz asked her.
"I don't know, maybe go back to Mexico or something," Maria said.
"Maria, please don't leave," Alex pleaded with her.
"YO, M.D.!" another voice called out from behind them.
"What the hell do you want, Skinn?" Maria asked angrily as he walked up to her.
TBC.
