1 Chapter 10 Squabbling
Michael burst in, "Maria's gone, Scott took her, he works for the FBI and he knows exactly who we are and he's tracking us down this very moment. But that's the least of our problems." Max looks down in denial. "He's an alien just like us, and he's been working for Vilandra."
Every sat in their own corner of the room, trying to come to some sort of conclusion. It hadn't been long since they'd all been in the Crashdown, being average kids as average can be. But so much had changed in the past 24 hours. Their entire world as they knew it was slipping out of their hands, there was nothing they could do, not even anything Max could do but sit in absolution. But there was never going to be any.
"Will you all just get a grip for Maria's sake? We need a plan and fast, we got the FBI hunting us down, not to mention skins, and our enemies are on the loose. We need to decide right here and now, who's coming with us, and who stays behind."
"We're all going, there's nothing left to think about. We just need to get Maria back." Isobel stuck out her bottom lip, there was nothing left to say but make plans and stick to them.
"Look he said he'd call right? So we'll just have to wait." Liz saw for once how much this was killing Michael and she could do nothing, she should never have let Maria get involved.
"You think that's such a good idea? All of us waiting, we might as well be sitting ducks." Kyle shook his head as he stood up.
"What do you want to do then? Huh? Got any bright suggestions that involve us not going on the experiment table to be diced up?"
"Michael do you have to be so disgusting all the time? We know you're upset but just leave it ok. We're all trying to figure something out."
"Isobel we're wasting time. He could be raping her in some sordid apartment, or kicking the living day lights out of her and we're sitting here doing nothing."
"You'd really think he'd go that far? I thought he liked Maria."
"Max, he's FBI he can't be trusted, don't you remember what they did to you?"
"I've never forgotten Michael, how could I when I've had night mares every night? Don't you even try to lay that one on me. Not this time. You're just trying to find someone to blame. Every tried looking at yourself?"
"Guys stop this. Maria's what's important, remember that."
And at that moment Scott entered the room.
