'Welcome Leandre, I trust you slept well.'

The glaring of the white walls shone into Liz' eyes, she tried to move her arms to shade her eyes but found that she was tied to a table. It was her second vision! She swung her eyes around the room to find who was talking.

Then she saw him, he was dressing in a black suit and was staring at her as if she was a monster. Her mind floundered, why had he said Leandre? She searched the room again looking for a possible Leandre, but the room was empty apart from herself and this man.

'Leandre?' she asked questioningly, her voice croaky from lack of water.

'Or perhaps you prefer Liz, it seems to fit in better on this planet.'

Liz' mind reeled, what was this crackpot on about?

'I would suggest that you don't try any alien mumbo-jumbo. You do and I can assure you it will hurt more than it hurts me.'

How did this guy know she had powers? Play it dumb Parker, she thought. Act like you know nothing.

'What the hell do you think your doing to me? When my parents find out about this they'll sue! You won't know what's hit you.' Good going Liz, she thought.

'What are you? Where do you come from?' asked the man.

'My name is Liz Parker, I come from Roswell, New Mexico. And if you don't let me out of here now you are gonna be in serious trouble!'

The man just smiled, 'What is your planet called?'

'Earth! I don't know about yours though. Where am I?'

The man chuckled. 'I don't think we need to know that now.' His voice suddenly became stern, 'Either you begin to co-operate or I can make things very unpleasant for you. I can take you apart piece by piece and make sure you stay alive to feel every second of it.'

Liz shuddered at the memory of those words, when Max had been taken and it had all been her fault… A way of sickly guilt came over her as she remembered how she had lead the FBI to him, she had to stop that happening again!

'My name is Liz Parker, I come from planet earth and I want to go home! So please, take me to your leader!' she spat out. 'Freak! Just let me go!'

The man's face went red with anger at her words. 'I tried to reason with you, it seems we'll just have to get the information out of you in a more painful way.'

At his words a team of men in medical robes ran in and surrounded Liz.

Liz screamed in pain, 'Max!!'

***

'Liz!' yelled Max as he slumped forward in the chair in pain.

'Max' screamed Isabel and Sandy in unison.

Searing pain shot through ever part of Max' body, his mind went blank.

***

He was standing in the corner of a white room. Max stared around himself in panic, momentarily blinded by the brightness. Then he began hearing the sounds, there was the sound of men talking and then an agonized scream.

'LIZ!' he cried. Running over to her he saw what the men were doing. Max ran full tilt at them, but they didn't notice him, even when he ran into them they did not seem to acknowledge his presence.

'Max,' came Liz' strained voice, she stared up at him, her eyes glazed over with fear and pain.

He ran back to her and began to gently caress her face. 'Liz… I'm so sorry.' his voice was choked with tears.

Liz just shook her head and attempted to smile. 'No Max…'

'We're coming for you, we know where you are! please just hold on!'

Liz' face suddenly became panic stricken, 'No Max! You can't come, it's too dangerous! I don't want you to come. You have to stay back, I don't matter your planet needs you! Please promise me you won't come!'

'No! My planet needs you too! We're coming!'

'No!' cried Liz as Max disappeared from her sight and pain once again overwhelmed her.
