Liz gasped as she saw the four people standing in the door way of the cafe. Max Evans, Michael Guerin, Isabel Evans and Tess Harding. The looked practically the same, although thay were taller and visibly older. Isabel looked even more beautiful (if that was actually possible),
"Liz? Am I hallucinating or is Isabel, Max, Michael and Tess standing in the door way?" Alex asked, not taking his eyes off the door and the people standing in it's doorway.
"I think they are. It looks like the czechs are back." Liz replied. Michael spotted them and walked over to their booth, closely followed by the others.
"Oh My God. When did - I thought you were never coming back!" Liz exclaimed.
"Yeah, well, we - the war was over pretty quickly. It ended a few months after we arrived so we thought we might as well come back to Earth." Isabel told them.
"Hey, where is Maria? Is she not working tonight?" Max asked. Liz burst into tears whilst the aliens just looked confused.
"Uh, actually we need to talk to you about that. You see Maria - why don't we go upstairs. Liz's parents are out of town so she's got the place to herself. You could stay with her for a few days," Alex quickly said as he lead the group through the back, up the stairs and through the door. The group all sat down in the lounge.
"So where is Maria? Why did Liz burst into tears when Max mentioned her? Where is she?" Michael demanded.
"I should tell him. I should tell them all why Maria isn't here.Or at least what we know." Liz said, her voice still shaking.
"Around about this time last year; actually a month before this time; Maria and Amy started getting threats. Phone calls, letters that kind of stuff. Anyway one night Maria came home and she couldn't find her mom. Anywhere. She called anyone should could think of and by that time she was panicking. An hour later Amy was found. She had her throat slit and a note pinned to her which said: You are next, on it. After the funeral Maria wouldn't even leave the house. Me, Alex and Kyle were getting worried so we went to Maria's and found her stuff gone, and she was no where to be found. We think she ran away. Couldn't handle her mom dying."
"Wow, I mean that's terrible. Do you think she is still alive?" Tess asked.
"Yeah, well we don't know." Kyle said taking Liz and Tess's hands. Max felt a pang of jealousy as he saw Liz squeeze Kyle's hand.
"Michael, are you ok?" Max asked, realizing how upsetting this could be for Michael. Michael didn't reply.
"I'm sure you guys are really tired from your trip. Why don't you go and crash. Iz and Tess can share the guest room; it's second door on your right; Michael, you have my parent' s room; it's first door on your left; and Max, you can have my room, you know where it is." Liz said.
"What about pajamas and stuff?" Tess asked.
"I'll get you and Isabel some and Max and Michael can borrow some of Alex or Kyle's stuff. It's in my room. I'll go get it." Liz left the others to get the pajamas.
*** 1/2 hour later ***
Liz sat at the dining table, listening to the dulcet tone of her computer connecting to the internet. Alex and Kyle were making something to eat and Isabel, Tess, Michael and Max were asleep. She logged into the chat room that she had been chatting in for a week and a half.
Area 51 logged on.
Star Slayer: Where have u been? I've been waiting 1/2 an hour!!!
Area 51 : Soz, some of my friends just came over and I had 2 sort them out.
Star Slayer: So...wot do u wanna talk about???
Area 51: I dunno? What have u been doin 2day??
Star Slayer: Just been working mostley. Wot bout u?
Area 51: I've just been looking after my parents restraunt. What do u work as?
Star Slayer: Your parents own a restraunt?!?!? :o) I work with a PI (Private Investigater).
Area 51: Yeah. cool!!! What do your parents do?
Star Slayer: My Dad died when I when I was young and my mom, I don't know. She dissappeared when I was 5 and then me and my sister were adopted.
Area 51: I'm soooooo sorry. I had no idea.
Star Slayer: That's ok.
Area 51: I'm still sorry.
Star Slayer: Well I have a new family now.
Area 51: What?
Star Slayer: Well when I was adopted, I had a mom, but when she wos killed most of my friends had left so I left to look for my lil sis Katrina. Now I live with my boss who happens to be one of my many best friends. He is like the older brother I never had. Or wanted. LOL :o)
Liz stared at the screen. *This sounds exactly like Maria, she left when her mom died, her friends left her. What if this IS Maria?* Liz thought.
Star Slayer: R u still their?!?
Area 51: Yeah, sorry. So where do u live?
Star Slayer: L.A. Where do u live?
Liz didn't want to scare Maria away by saying Roswell so she said:
Area 51: San Fransico. So when we 1st started 2 chat we didn't really ask each other anything. So I have a question 4 u. I fu were in a burning building who would u save? One sibling or five strangers?and why???
Liz had asked Maria and Alex the same question. And Maria had answered 5 strangers.
.::::::::::::::::::::::FLASHBACK::::::::::::::::::::::.
"If u were in a burning building who would you save? One sibling or five strangers?and why." Liz asked Alex and Maria.
"I think I would save one sibling because you know that person but the five strangers could be murderers or criminals or something." Alex said.
"I would save five strangers cos even though you would miss your brother or sister, you would be saving more people." Maria replied.
.::::::::::::::::::::::END OF FLASHBACK::::::::::::::::::::::.
Star Slayer: I'd save five strangers cos even though you would miss your sibling, you'd be saving more people, what about u?
Area 51: I'd probably do the same cos I haven't got any brothers or sisters.
Star Slayer: Someone aksed me that question a long time ago. Where did u get it from?
Area 51: I got it out of this book of situations with no right or wrong answers. By the way, have u always lived in LA?
Star Slayer: No. I moved here about a year ago with my sister.
Area 51: Where did u live before?
Star Slayer: Roswell, New Mexico. And Kat lived in New York.
Liz stared at the screen. This HAD to be Maria. She used to live in Roswell, her mom was killed, she answed the question with the exact same answer, and her friends had left her.
"Oh. My. God." Liz gasped.
" Liz, are you ok?" Alex called from the kitchen.
"No Alex, get in here!!" She shouted back. Kyle and Alex ran over to Liz.
"This girl I'm talking to, it's Maria. I know what you're thinking but this IS Maria. I know this girl is Maria." Liz exclained.
"Well talk to her then!" Kyle replied.
"Can you guys be quiet! You could wake the dead!" Isabel said sleepily as she and Tess walked into the lounge.
"We think that Liz is talking to Maria, ok, so go get Max and Michael," Kyle said to them. As they went off to get them, Liz returned to the laptop.
Star Slayer: R u still there?
By then she was surrounded by everybody.
Area 51: Well anyways, what part of LA do u live in?
Star Slayer: I live in the south part of LA. Why?
Area 51: No reason. I'll speak 2 u 2morro, k?
Star Slayer: Yeah , What time?
Area 51: Same time, g2g c ya!!
Star Slayer: C ya
Star Slayer logged off
Area 51 logged off.
"Well?" Michael asked.
"I'm gonna talk to her tomorrow but, I think we should leave tomorrow morning for LA, Ok?" Liz told them.
Everyone nodded.
"I'm not sure about you guys but I am hungry."Alex said. They all went to go and get some food and pack for the the road trip.
