~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Who made it?" Maria asked nervously. It was like the lottery except with family members.

"Four of them made it." Logan said he hated breaking the news that three of them didn't make it. He
knew she'd be crushed.

"Who?" Maria said sternly. She was trying not to cry. 'I can't cry I'm a solider I should be glad any
lived at all.

Max, Zach, and Tinga looked at Maria sadly knowing just how she felt. At least she wasn't alone.

"The ones that made it are Paul, Rosalie, Carmen, and Brian."

Maria drew in deep breaths Rob is dead. Amelia was dead. Mary is dead her sister the one that kept
her going is dead it wasn't fair.

"When will they be here?"

"Now." Maria looked over at the four teenagers standing in the door way. Carmen was wearing worn
out jean shorts and a faded red tee. Her black hair was wavy and reached the middle of her back. It
accented her tan face. Her black eyes sparkled. Her Chinese features showed clearly on her face. She
was about 5'6 and 110 pounds.

Rosalie stood next to her. Her straight thin hair stood in a short fashion at her ears in the front longer
down to the base of her neck at the back to hide her barcode. Her big brown eyes showed the pain she
suffered over the years. She was tall looking at about 6'2 and 130 pounds all muscle.

Paul stood next to her. His curly black hair was just long enough that it just nearly covered his barcode.
His emerald eyes where dull against his pale face. He was about 6'3 and 180 pounds all muscle.

Finally standing next to him was Brian. His hair was wavy the tresses where dark blond/light brown. His
eyes where bright green/dull blue accented by the scar by his eye lash. His face looked harsh but
smooth at the same time his height and weight was about the same as Paul but he looked more
powerful he was the leader. He took a step forward.

"You needed us?" His voice was stern but it held a underlining warmth. Maria ran up to and through
her arms around him. He encircled her small body in his arms and put his head in her hair and rocked
her slightly.

Across the room Michael felt a jolt of jealousy course through him. 'Where did that come from I'm not
with her. I don't even like her. Do I?'

Maria and Brian pulled away from each other and she looked at her siblings. "Lydecker knows I'm
here in Roswell it's only a matter of time before he comes after me."

"Then we leave Roswell right now." Carmen said looking at her little sister.
"No this is my home and I'm staying here."

"It worked for me Lydecker knows I live in Seattle and he hasn't gotten me yet." Max said from
across the room.

"Well for one thing Seattle is a lot bigger than Roswell and who the hell are you anyway." Zach said
looking over at Max.

"Well little bro I'm an X-5." Max said. God Maria was right this guy is like Zach like we need another
one.

"Max, Maria I agree with him Maria you need to get the hell outta here and Max you should to."

"No Way!!" Max and Maria said at the same time. Brian and Zach just crossed their arms across their
chests.

"Look no offense here but maybe before we plan any thing we should let Maria and her family have
some time alone." Logan said heading for the back door. Everyone reluctantly followed.


*******************************************

"So how you guys been?" Maria said handing everyone a coke.

"Good as can be I guess." said Carmen taking a sip of her coke.
"Where have you guys been?"

"Well I've been in Chicago I live with this foster family the Benson's they have a dog named Fufu he's
this little..."
"Rosalie we don't need your life story k? I've been out in LA." Carmen said looking annoyed.
"I've been out in Boston." Paul said barely above a whisper he looked down at his coke like it was the
most interesting thing in the world.
"New York." Brain said.
"So I guess Rob, Mary, and Amelia didn't make it huh." Maria said in a sad tone.
"Amelia was alive she lived with me but one day she had seizures so bad it was to late for medicine she
asked me to break her neck because it hurt so bad and if we went to the doctor she'd be found out. I
had to do it." Paul said looking down he looked so ashamed.

"You did the right thing." Zach said in a sad tone. The look in his eyes said he meant it. They all knew
he did the right thing the realization of it hurt though.

"Rob got past the gates you know he stepped into the light I tried to warn him but he didn't listen they
shot him down dead." Rosalie in a soft voice. It was like for the first time she didn't want to talk about
something.

"What about Mary?" Maria asked in a soft voice she didn't know if she wanted to know the answer.

"She was with me and Carmen." Zach said his eyes looked as if he was gazing off into the distance as if
he was watching it happen now.

"The guard where gaining up on us me and Mary were up ahead. Carmen fell. I tried to stop her but
she wouldn't listen she would do any thing for any of us. She ran past Carmen into an open area so
Carmen could escape. She gave up her life to protect us. She never got to know freedom she was the
one that deserved it the most." He stopped talking and looked down.

"None of us know freedom we live in fear of being found out everyday you call that freedom?" Paul
said looking up.

"You ungrateful bastard at least you got to live." Carmen said yelling her face full of rage.

"Well if you hadn't been so clumsy and ignorant maybe she would be alive." Paul said through clenched
teeth

"This from the boy that was Lydeckers lap dog if you don't like being free maybe you should go back."
Carmen

"Guys please help." Isabel said running into the crashdown door.

"What is it?" Maria asked in concern.

"They have Tess Lydecker has Tess."
