Liz gasped in pain.

'Stop,' commanded the man in the suit. 'Perhaps she is ready to talk now?'

'Why are you doing this to me?' gasped out Liz. 'Why do you think I can't tell you

anything?'

'Perhaps because this sample of your blood, looks like this.' he said holding up a picture from a slide.

Liz gasped, that wasn't human blood! What? 'But…' she trailed off.

'You're a good actress Ms Parker, but not good enough. Now give me answers!'

'I-I don't know…' Liz stammered.

'Try again, maybe if you get the right answer we'll stop torturing you.'

'But I don't know! I really don't know' Liz screamed.

'Sorry wrong answer.' he nodded to the medical men and they moved back towards Liz.

'No!' she gasped.

The two cars were speeding down the highway. 'How long till we get there?' Maria asked Michael, looking worriedly at Max.

There was sweat on his forehead, his eyes were closed and he no longer seemed aware of their presence. The had been a small patch a few minutes ago when he had come back to them, the pain had seemed to have stopped, but then as suddenly as it started he sank back into his pain.

'Just 10 more minutes,' said Michael distractedly, his face too showed signs of worry. He understood that somehow Max' state was related to what Liz was going through, if that was true then Liz was in trouble! She wasn't as strong as Max and Michael didn't know how long she would be able to hold on for.

At the sound of Maria's cellphone Adam turned and looked out the back window. Behind them he saw two cars.

'Oh, great,' said Maria into the phone. 'Just keep driving, I'll try and get him on his cellphone.'

She put down the phone and began to dial another number, Adam shot her a questioning look, she just ignored him, she was still quite annoyed at that brother thing.

'Sheriff?'

She smiled at the answer.

'Sheriff, shut up!' she said with a smile. 'Liz has been taken by the FBI, we have to get her back!'

'Tess? well, ummm… that's slightly more complicated, will you meet us back in Roswell? We'll come soon. Just do it!' With that she hung up the phone, Adam turned his head as she did. The police car was pulling away from behind them and turning back towards Roswell.

Michael looked at Maria questioningly, 'Just Sheriff Valenti, he's going back to Roswell to wait for us.'

Michael nodded and turned his attention back to driving.
