Crashdown.

*The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
and miles to go before I sleep
and miles to go before I sleep.*


Liz's knees fell out from underneath her, the reciept still clutched in
her hands. Tears welled in her eyes and spilled over as she leant against
the counter. The boy by her side looked down and then turned and left
the cafe, the jingling sound announcing her departure.
She felt the aching loss where Alex had filled her life, that couldn't be
filled now he was gone.
As the rain pounded on outside the storm continued inside. In Liz.

Evans' house.

Max threw the baseball, harder and harder against the wall of his room.
Each throw continued in strength the last one bringing up a puff of plaster
dust from it and leaving a small dent.
Isobel rushed through Max's door with a frown on her tear-stained face.
"Max? What the hell are you doing?"
Max looked down at the baseball gripped in his hands. He let it fall to the floor
and then looked up at Isobel.
"Sorry... I'm just..."
Isobel nodded. "Angry? Hurt? Confused? Welcome to the club Max. You'll
find a list of other partcipants in this club, and we leave chocolate mints on
your pillow."
"Is" he warned.
"Let me name a few, Michael, Maria, Me, Kyle" She paused. " Liz."
Max snapped his head up to look at her the darkness in his eyes
somthing she had never seen there before. However she rasied her chin
in defiance.
"You forgot Tess." Max's voice was low and raw.
Isobel laughed without humour. " Oh yes. God forbid I forget Tess eh Max?"
She turned and walked away from him, slamming the door shut behind her.
Max paced around the room, letting his thoughts run in a jilting, stream of
consciousness. Why would Liz say that...Aliens had killed Alex, why would
she look at Tess. Why would Kyle agree with her.
There was only one way to sort it out.
He had to see Liz.

Crashdown.

Liz lay down on the floor, not wanting to move from the spot she was in.
She knew what said was irrational, that Alex couldn't have been murdered
but some part of her knew. The same part that knew she loved Max and couldn't
have him. The same part that had disliked Tess since the day she had arrived
in Roswell.
She had to figure it out.
She picked her self up off the floor and looked out side. The rain had lessened
slightly but its crispness would clear her head. She pushed the receipt into her
pocket and pulled open the door. She locked it behind her and walked off into
the night.
The hands that grabbed her from behind had given no warning. The snake like
tone of the voice that whispered in her ear chilled her to the bone. And the hand
that lay across her abdomen was wet, and icy. She felt the pain rip through her.
and she felt warmth. The person dropped on the floor and she looked up at
the one person, she hated more that anybody.

Max pulled up in his jeep just in time to see an ambulence pull away from the
Crashdown. He saw the blood on the floor and then he saw Mr. Parker
standing infront of the cafe.
"Mr. Parker?"
He looked up at Max his forhead lined with a frown.
"Max?"
"What's wrong?"
When he didn't answer Max took a step back. Mr Parker looked up at him
and tears crept over his cheeks.
"Someone hurt her Max, some sick bastard hurt my baby girl."
"What happened?" When he didn't answer Max grabbed his arm and shook him
"WHAT HAPPENED?"
"Stabbed, it looks like she was stabbed."
Max ran away from the man and got into the jeep heading for Michael's house.
He punched in his number on the cell phone and waited anxiously for it to be
answered.
"Guerin"
"Michael it's Max, is Maria with you?"
"Maxwell what's wrong?"
"Is she?" Max's tone is urgent.
"Yeah, Mrs DeLuca had to go out."
"Listen I am coming to pick you two up now, I'll be there in about 5 minutes."
Max cut the call before Michael could answer back and concentrated on driving
to Michael's.


Maria and Michael were already waiting when Max pulled up. They jumped in the
jeep and Max drove on, heading for the hospital.
"What's going on Max?" Maria clutched his shoulder from the back seat
"It's Liz."
"What do you mean 'it's Liz'??" Her voice and hysteria going up several notches
"She's had an accident, I'm not sure yet."
Max heard Maria gasp as if all of the wind had been knocked out of her and it
was scilence that was thier company for the remainder of the journey.

Hospital.

" Okay we have a weak pulse, but the wound has been stitched up, we're pumping
in the blood, and we have fixed the hepatic artery that the knife severed.
She has some head trauma and I'm not sure when she is going to wake up."
The doctor stood infront of Mrs Parker. Like Liz she had been blunt and too the
point when she'd asked for the whole truth about her baby girl. The doctor
was surprised she didn't do more than reel on her feet. Most parents men and women
would have fallen down at less.
The doors burst open and Max, Maria and Michael came running down the corridor
towards Mrs Parker.
"Mrs Parker?" gasped Maria
Mrs Parker took Maria in her arms and held her. " Shes ok, but their not sure
when she's going to wake up."
Michael grabbed Max's arm as it looked like he might fall down anysecond.
Mrs Parker looked up at Max. "Oh Max I am glad you're here and you Michael.
you are such good boys."
Maria looked at Mrs Parker. "Are we allowed to see her?"
"One at a time, and only for 15 minutes. Why don't you go first Maria honey."
Maria looked at Max. "No I think Max should go first."

15 minutes later Max came out his face ashen. He shook his head slightly
and hugged Maria. She went in and a short time later Michael took his turn.
When he turned the handle he was suprised to see Liz standing by the window looking
out at the hospital grounds. He shut the door and the stood back when he
saw Liz's prone body lying as if in state on a hospital guerny face ashen nothing
moving except the rise and fall of her chest.
Liz by the window turned and looked at him and Michael sat down quickly in
the chair that had appeared at his knees.
"Are you a ghost?" Michael's voice was tentative and quiet as if he was afraid
of waking the sleeping Liz.
Liz laughed humourlessly and looked at Michael. "I'm not dead Michael. I'm
in coma."
"Then why..."Michael waved his hand at the sleeping Liz and then at the figure
in front of him.
"I need your help."
