"He was in the mob."

"The MOB?"

"Yeah. You know- the Mafia."

"So, your boyfriend is the head of the mob, and he wants to kill you. why?"

"Well, ex- boyfriend, and yes, I found out, didn't I? I had an abortion, and I cant go back to NY ever again, I knew he would send somebody to kill me." 'I just didn't knew he would be you.' She thought to herself.

"Oh"

"Max, you cant tell anybody, if you don't want to ever see me again- that's Okay, but it really wasn't my fault, I didn't knew anything, I swear." he shushed her by putting his finger on her lips.

"It doesn't change a thing. I knew you were involved with something before you got involved with me, and if you can except what my past, I can except yours, and I think I can help you get out of this mess."

Liz had to think about this, getting out of this mess sounded really great, but can she get involved with him? Another complicated man in her life? She didn't want to repeat what happened with Zan.

"Help me how?" she just had to ask.

"Well, we'll make a deal, I'll help you get Zan of your back, if." he got closer to her, his face almost touching her's "you'll give me a chance, give us a chance."

Her lips turned into a smile "it's a deal."

'Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday,

I've got a lot of things to learn,

Said I would and I believe in one day,

Before my heart starts to burn.

So what's the matter with you?

Sing me something new ... Don't you know

The cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go, away.

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be.

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be.

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be.

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be.

If you're leaving will you take me with you,

I'm tired of talking on my phone,

But there is one thing I can never give you,

My heart will never be your home.

So what's the matter with you?

Sing me something new ... Don't you know

The cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go, away.

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be.

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be.

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be.

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows, yeah, nobody knows, the way it's gonna be.'
