The man in the black suit looked down at the mangled form of the young
girl. 'There's nothing she can tell us now, finish her off.' He walked out
of the room.
Liz watched him go with scared eyes, she knew what they were about to do, but she was thankful for the final release from pain.
As the surgeon raise his arm with the needle she thought, 'I love you Max Evans. Never forget me…'
Max felt a new urgency come over him, he sped up to a run. Just ahead of his he saw a man in a black suit walk out of a room. He was smiling.
'I love you Max Evans. Never forget me…'
'LIZ!' he screamed. He ran towards the room, suddenly he felt her presence slipping
away. 'No…' he whispered.
Bursting into the room her saw Liz with a medical man standing over her. He shot a blast of green light at the man, sending him shooting back against the wall. Max sprinted the last few meters of the room to where Liz lay. He saw her crumpled, lifeless form. He saw her numerous cuts and bruises. He waved his hand over her, trying to bring back her life.
Sweat was on his brow and he was shaking all over. 'Liz…' It wasn't working, she just lay there.
Michael, Alex, Will and Adam ran into the room. Max leant over and lifted Liz up.
'Go! we have to get to the pod chamber!' when they hesitated he screamed, 'GO! GET OUT!'
***
'Get to the cars,' Isabel cried snapping out of the mind warp with tears on her face. 'We're leaving, just go!'
Maria took the cue and ran towards the jeep, the others followed her suit and did the same getting to Isabel's car. In a few minutes the boys came running out of the compound with Liz lying limply in Max' arms. Maria started the car as the three boys jumped in.
Maria asked nothing but just pulled out onto the road and began to drive towards the pod chamber. In the other car Isabel put her foot right down to floor to catch up with Maria.
***
Max looked down at Liz' limp body lying in his arms, he saw what the doctors had done to her. Her small perfect body was almost deformed beyond recognition, her face was swollen with large bruises and cuts. And her stomach, where Max had healed her looked like a pin cushion. Tears sprang up in his eyes as the feeling of separation from her became more and more apparent. He couldn't sense her presence. He had never realised what a comfort that had always been, just to know she was always there…
Maria skidded to a halt just outside the pod chamber and Max climbed quickly out. They all ran to the chamber followed closely by Isabel, Lana, Sandy, Will and Alex.
'Stand around Max and Liz, take our hands!' commanded Lana urgently. She knew they didn't have long, Leandre was slipping further and further away from them.
Max said nothing, he just slumped to the floor with Liz in his arms. The other eight stood round them.
'She's… dead…' whispered Max as the room began to disappear.
A gentle white glow began to emanate from the two aliens in the centre.
Liz watched him go with scared eyes, she knew what they were about to do, but she was thankful for the final release from pain.
