'See you later Super Czech Chica!' Yelled Maria as she climbed out of the
Jetta.
'See you later girlfriend!' Called Alex. Liz turned and playfully stuck her tongue out at them as they drove away. As she walked into the Crashdown she rubbed her neck and stretched her arms. It had been a long day.
She walked into her bathroom and then climbed into the shower. As she began to wash off the dirt and grime from the desert she let her thoughts drift to Max. He had seemed so proud of her today, would he be so proud if he knew how much she was freaking out about everything? She hadn't thought she could be such a good actress, how was she hiding it all? One day she was normal Liz Parker with a secret Alien Society and the next she was a key member being hunted down by someone who wanted to dissect her! And to top it all she now had alien powers. Weird!
Liz looked at herself in the mirror as she dried her hair. Nothing looked different, but something felt different! And then there was all this stuff with her and Max. He had wanted to talk, how could she do that, she couldn't betray Future Max but she didn't want to be apart from her Max! She sighed and as if on cue the phone rang.
'Liz?'
'Max?'
'Yeah, will you come to the park, we really have to talk…'
'Yeah… sure' said Liz, unsure as to what to say.
'I'll meet you there OK?'
'Yeah…'
***
Liz shivered, the hairs on the back of her neck prickling, where was Max, he was taking a long time…
'Good evening, Ms Parker.'
Liz swung round, two men came into view. She opened her mouth to scream.
'Oh no need for that, no one will hear you!' said one of the men in an arresting tone.
'I trust you enjoyed our little phone call.' said the other man.
'You…' said Liz in a quiet voice. Max wasn't coming, he didn't even know she was
here. She froze. This was it, this was her nightmare! She had to run… But where?
***
Max sat on his bed, he felt restless he just couldn't get Liz' dream out of his head.
Where had they been?
'Max, Max help!!'
He felt more than heard Liz' plea for help. He felt his body go tense. The back ally of the Crashdown! He leapt to his feet and ran out of the room.
***
Liz was running, running so fast her heart was bursting, but no matter how fast she ran the men in suits were gaining on her. She couldn't run any more; she had to stop. They were right behind her, one was reaching out. He was going to grab her… 'Max' she screamed as she fell to her knees. Suddenly there was a flash of brilliant green light and the foot steps went silent.
Max ran forwards to where Liz was lying sprawled on the cold, hard ground. He reached down and clasped her near. He picked her up and began to make his way back to his house.
