Max lay awake in bed holding the still form of Liz Parker. His mind was reeling. He had to do something. Something to help Liz, anything to help this angel curled up safely in his arms. Suddenly an idea came into his head, the granolith. He saw in the vision that he had used the granolith as a time machine, he could go back in time and stop the rape, all he'd have to do is stop Liz from going to the pool with Kyle. 'But how do I make the granolith become a time machine?' Then he remembered something, Isabel had seen it in Tess's house. The crystal. 'But how do I modify it to go back in time?' Max was stumped but he decided the only thing to do would be to go with Tess to the granolith chamber, together they could figure it out. Max's mind was at ease, so he fell asleep holding on to Liz's for the rest of the night.

The next morning Max awoke with empty arms. Instead of Liz lying on his bed there was a note. He opened it and silently read his beloved's words.
Max,
I had to leave before my mom and dad noticed I was gone. Last night meant a lot to me, for you to hold me and protect me, Thank you for always being there for me, I love you Max and I always have and will, I'll see you later at the Crashdown, I'm not working, but I just need to be with you.
Forever Yours,
Liz
Max read the note over and over, and placed it by the picture of her that was on his bedside table. He decided the first thing he should do today is go see Liz, then he would talk to Tess about the granolith. Max got dressed and knocked on Isabel's door.
"Is, I'm going to the Crashdown, do you want to come with me?"
"Sure Max, I've been wanting to talk to Alex, so just give me like 20 minutes and I'll be right there."
"Ok, but try to hurry."
"I will."
15 minutes later, they were out the door. Max left hoping to find answers, hoping to find ways to help Liz; he just didn't know that the answers were closer than he thought.
