Chapter Eight
All the major players minus Tess are sitting or standing around a large table.
Michael: So what's the pow pow about?
Isabel and Max both start at the same time
Max: Liz has developed alien powers, what? Kyle too?
Is: Kyle has developed alien powers, what? Liz too?
Kyle: Wait a sec! Aren't we forgetting someone?
Valenti: Maybe Tess can tell us what's going on, she probablly knows more about your alien..
Max: We need to keep Tess out of this
Is: Why?
Max: The other thing we need to talk about is Tess. The baby….
Maria: Baby? What baby?
Michael: I'll tell you about it later, let Max finish
Maria: Are you telling me that Tess is pregnant? God Kyle! You do work fast.
Kyle: Me? I haven't touched her, at least I mean, it was Evans.
Maria: Max got Tess pregnant? Oh my god, Liz…
Max: It's not my baby!
Kyle: You bastard! (He lunges at Max but Valenti grabs him) You all mighty alien can't even own up to…
Maria: I can't believe this is happening!
Liz: Everyone just shut up! (Everyone is quiet)
You don't have to lie Max, I saw everything already.
Max: I'm not lying. What I'm trying to say is that the baby inside Tess isn't really a baby. I don't know if she's mind warping us or if she really doesn't know what's going on.
Michael: Wait, what the hell is in her if it's not a baby?
Max: I'm almost positive but I think it's Zan and Lonnie. You know how I told you that they took Tess hostage in New York but they disappeared when I got there. She said she couldn't remember what happened to them. Well I think that they found a way to get inside Tess.
Kyle: So Tess is being controlled by them right? She needs our help.
Max: I'm not sure…
Kyle: What do you mean you're not sure, she's being controlled by evil aliens! I'll prove it to you, I'll dream walk her and we'll know for sure that she's an innocent in all this.
Is: They wont be expecting Kyle to be able to dreamwalk
Max: We can't tip them off…
Kyle: Look Evans, I don't take orders from you, I will do it whether you want to or not
Max: (He stands in from of Kyle and looks him straight in the eyes) You can either take my "orders" or you can face the enemies alone. You pick! I don't have the time to deal with you questioning everything I do. You're either in or you're out. (Long pause)
Kyle: Fine, we'll do things your way, but if Tess gets hurt because you mess up, they'll be hell to pay.
(He crosses his arms with a determined look)
Liz: (Moving to Kyle's side and pulling him into a chair) So what's the plan?
Max: Kyle, you and Is work together and practice dreamwalking. Is will let me know if you have enough control to be able to pull off mindwalking Tess without her realizing it. Maria and Sheriff…um Valenti, I need you to keep and eye on Tess. I want to know everything, where she goes, when she sleeps, and what she eats. Michael, I need you to help Liz control her powers and I'm going to the museum to see if this kind of thing has ever happened before. We'll meet back here in 48 hrs.
