Tess stood there looking at the face of her former friends. The people she had once trusted and thought of as family. The people she had betrayed.
Tess was about to speak when Max rushed her and grabbed her by the throat.
"Where's my son?" Max asked
"He's safe," Tess choked.
"WHERE IS HE?" Max shouted directly into Tess's face.
"I can't tell you Max," Tess whimpered. "Not now at least. But I promise you I will."
Max released Tess and soon she found herself surrounded by the others.
"You'll tell me right now Tess," Max threatened.
"Why'd you come back Tess?" Isabel asked.
"Because I need your help," Tess said. "To stop Khivar and save Alex."
"Why should we help you?" Maria hissed.
"You have to help me stop Khivar," Tess said.
"Yeah right," Michael said. "He probably sent you here, I knew it. Max this is a trap."
Michael raised his hand and looked around the alley.
"This isn't a trap," Tess said.
"Because I also need your help saving Alex," Tess said.
"WHAT!?!" Liz shrieked. "How dare you say that, Alex is dead and it's all because of you."
"No," Tess said. "He's alive."
"YOU'RE LYING!" Isabel shouted shoving Tess against the wall of the alley.
"I'm not lying," Tess sobbed. "Alex is alive and I can prove it."
Tess looked at their faces, hoping that one of them believed her. Everyone of them appeared deep in thought, but their eyes never once left Tess.
"Let's go," Max said.
Tess exhaled a sigh of relief, until Max turned back facing her.
"But so help me Tess," Max said. "If you try anything I will kill you."
As they left Tess noticed that Kyle hadn't said a single word the entire time.
