Crashdown Cafe
April 1, 2002
11:35 AM
Max, Michael, and Isabel sat in a booth at the crashdown. The tension was thick between the three of them. Max had told Michael and Isabel of the phone call he had received and how he intended to deal with it. Max took note of their initial reactions, Isabel seemed to be thinking of something else, while Michael was furious.
"And you just agreed to meet whoever called?" Michael asked.
"What if it's a trap," Isabel asked worriedly.
"Then we'll fight our way out," Max said
"What if..." Michael began.
"What if for once in our life we took a chance?" Max asked. "What if we stopped running and hiding and made a stand?"
"I hope you know what you're doing Maxwell," Michael said.
"So do I," Max said getting up from his seat. "Let's go."
Isabel started to follow Max and Michael towards the back when someone called out her name.
"Isabel," Kyle said getting up from his seat at the crashdown.
"Kyle?" Isabel asked in confusion.
"Isabel," Kyle said advancing towards her. "We need to talk."
"Kyle right now is not a good time," Isabel said.
"No we need to talk now," Kyle said pulling Isabel into a booth.
She knew that Kyle and her were overdue for a long talk. A talk that Isabel had so desperately been avoiding for the past month.
"What's going on between us?" Kyle asked.
"I miss you Isabel," Kyle said. "I miss how we used to hang out every weekend.
"Because?" Isabel asked.
"I like you Isabel," Kyle said. "Do you feel anything for me?"
"I do like you Kyle," Isabel said . "It's just..."
"Isabel we need you now," Max called interrupting their conversation.
"I gotta go," Isabel said quickly getting up from her seat and heading to the back.
"Isabel wait," Kyle said as he got up and followed her.
Isabel ran into the Alley with Kyle right behind her.
"What's he doing here?" Michael asked pointing to Kyle.
"Kyle listen you have to go," Isabel said quickly.
"What's going on out here?" Maria asked as she came out the back door, immediately followed by Liz.
"Maria you have to get out of here," Michael said
"Max what's happening?" Liz asked.
"Not now," Max said. "You all need to get out of here."
While they were arguing amongst each other, the group failed to noticed a single figure slowing approaching them.
"Hi," a voice timidly said from behind the group.
Everyone froze at the sound of the voice. In that moment they knew exactly who it was, there was no mistaking that voice.
"Tess," Max said turning around to face her.
