Chapter 6

Liz drove as far as the van would let her. An hour had passed and the van gave way. She stepped out of it and looked under the hood. She remembered that Maria told her about the time when Isabel was able to repair her car using her powers.

Connor stepped out of the car and neared his mother.

"Do you think I can do it?" she asked her son.

"I think so, try, it's better than nothing," Connor replied.

Liz placed her hand over what she thought resembled the engine. She concentrated hard, but it blow up. They both backed up from it, it blow up in flames.

"Mommy, I don't think you should have tried."

"Yeah, I guess not, c'mon, let's try to find a gas station or something," Liz said. She lifted Connor and they begin their trek.

After an hour of exhausting walking they reached a gas station.

"Hey, do the phones work?" Liz asked the clerk at the register.

"Nah, we're getting their repaired tomorrow," he replied.

"Great," she muttered underneath her breath. She looked over her shoulder to see Connor looking a little stuffed.

They left the station and Connor pulled out a bottle of water and two bags of chips.

"Connor, you do know that it's bad to steal," Liz said with a stern look.

"Yeah, but we have no money, and my tummy is hungry," Connor said.

Liz smiled, "Good job though, I don't think he noticed."

"WAIT! WAIT!" they heard from behind them.

Connor immediately put his hand with the chips behind his back, but with his small frame you could see the corners of the bag peaking out.

"Are you Connor?" the store clerk asked.

"And who are you?" Liz said, standing in front of Connor.

"Order of Ianthia, take my car, here are the keys," he said, "It's so nice to meet you," he told Connor with such giddiness you would have thought Connor was in a boy band.

"Um, thanks, I guess," Liz said, taking the keys. They rush over to the car and left the seedy pit stop.

After an hour of driving to Roswell, Alex and Maria had concocted a plan. Not the most sensible plan, but a plan to say the least.

After they arrived in Roswell, they would gather everyone at Alex's house, since his dad was never around. Tell them everything they knew, excluding the fact that Max had a son, and hopefully get Liz out of the place she was in.

"Are we there yet?" Maria asked.

"Almost, Maria, are you touching up you're makeup?!?"

"What? Alex, shut up we've been traveling for like forever, so leave me alone," Maria said, she almost dropped her makeup compact when she saw a blue Sedan wiz by their Jetta.

"Ok, was it me, but did I just see Liz?" Maria asked.

"Yeah, that was her."

"What are you waiting for? Floor it, we have to catch up to her!" Maria said. She immediately perked up, she lowered the window and stuck her head out, she almost resembled a dog with its flapping ears, "LIZ!!" she yelled.

Alex honked the horn a couple of times, but to no avail, Liz never slowed down.

"Why isn't she stopping, she has to see us," Maria asked, putting her head back into the car.

"Whatever the reason is, she's going really fast."

"Can't you like bump her or something?"

"And cause an accident, I'm not Speed Racer," he said.

"Mommy, I see Uncle Alex and Auntie 'Ria" Connor looking through the back window.

"We're not playing 'I Spy" Con, we have to get to Roswell," Liz said with determination, "Oh would you shut up, already?" she said to herself. Can't the car just bypass them, wait a second Uncle Alex and Auntie 'Ria?

She almost had to look twice. It was Alex and Maria. She slowed the car over to the side of the road.

"Alex, she's stopping, c'mon get over there," Maria said impatiently.

He did as he was told. Maria didn't wait for him to come to a full stop, she leaped out of the car and raced towards Liz and Connor.

Liz couldn't believe what was happening. Finally she was able to be with her friends and with her son. It felt like ages since she had last seen them.

"C'mon Connor, let's go see Maria and Alex."

Connor squealed in delight and stepped out the car.

Before Liz knew it she was engulfed in a hug by Maria.

"Chica, you scared us so much," she said on the verge of tears.

After they all exchanged hugs, there was a moment of silence. Each were wondering what to do. But Connor was the Pearl to them. He spoke the truth even if they did not want to hear it.

"Can we go see Daddy?" he asked.

Everyone looked at him, and Liz crouched down to him, "Yes, sweetie, it's time you see him."

She grabbed his hand and headed to Maria's car, "Are you sure this is what you want to do?"

"Maria, I've been a horrible mother to Connor, I've deprived him of Max, though we never conceived him, Max is still Connor's father, and it's time he knows. I don't care what the repercussions are, it's time."

"I agree," Alex said.

Maria had a worried look on her face, she wasn't so sure under these circumstances that they should go there.

"Ok, so let's go there now," Liz said with a determined face.

"Sir, the child and it's mother should be heading to Roswell. We have reason to believe that the father is there and to her it's the only safe place."

Murdoch turned around, angry that he lost the only way to gain power on Antar. Connor was the only way to go back home. Now that chance was lost. He was going to get revenge. He didn't care if he had to kill everyone in Roswell, or anyone that would stand in the way. He wanted to go home, to his rightful home.

"It won't be safe anymore, I don't care you stands in my way, we're going home."
