Liz looked sadly at Max, understanding the horrible feeling she felt of somehow causing the death of a loved one. Her gut wrenched in pain and she wished there was a way to turn back the clock and fix things. **Turn back the clock??? The GRANOLITH!** But was Liz willing to change the future again? She had done it once already when Future MAX visited her... and the future still ended up with death of Michael and Isabel. Only this time MAX and Tess were added to the body count. Staring into Max's sorrow-filled eyes she knew what she had to be done.
She had to get to the Granolith. She needed to change the future, AGAIN. "Max. I think there might be a way to help Logan." Max's head shot up.
"Whatever it is, I'll do it. Anything."
"We need to get out of here. The Granolith is the only way." Liz continued.
"Granolith??? What on earth..." But Max was interrupted.
"No time for questions and answers. You said you'd do anything for him. Do you mean it?" She looked Max right in the eyes.
"Yes." Max replied without any hesitation.
Liz started to get things packed for them to leave until Max spoke up. "Uh... what about..." She nodded her head towards the door which led to where MAX and the others were. "We can't just leave them like..."
"I'll take care of that." She picked up the phone at the receptionist's desk and dialed for the operator. "Sheriff's office please." There was a pause of silence until she heard the sound of a familiar voice.
"Sheriff Valenti speaking."
"Oh thank God. Something happened at MAX's clinic. Please. I need your help..." Just the reminder that MAX and the others died such gruesome deaths made her voice quiver.
"Liz? Is that you? Hold on. I'll be right there." After hearing the dial tone Liz slowly dropped the phone.
Liz was brought out of her thoughts when she heard coughing. Logan's breathing was getting worse and his face was flushed. Max was trying to cool him off with a damp cloth. After waiting several excruciating minutes, the door swung open.
"Liz, I got here as soon as I could. What happened?" Liz led the sheriff to the back room where his eyes widened in horror to see the entire pod squad dead. "How... what... when....???" He sputtered in disbelief.
"I need to get to the desert. I have to fix this! But we can't leave them like that... what if someone finds them...! " Liz exclaimed.
"Please, I need you to..." She gulped. "...hide their bodies... whatever... just make sure this doesn't get public."
"How are you going to fix this??? They're already dead!!!" But there was such determination in her eyes he couldn't refuse her. With a sigh, he nodded. Liz walked out of the clinic with Max and Logan close behind. If her plan worked, MAX might still be alive and then he could save Logan. Before Liz pulled out of the lot, she pulled the window down and smiled at the sheriff.
"Thanks, Kyle."
