Chap 5
It has been weeks since Maria had gone missing and the others have begun to get worried. They searched day and night for her; stopping by hospitals and police stations to see if any of them had seen her. But, no one had. They were at their wits end… especially Michael.
Michael: I knew this would happen! I knew this plan was a bad Idea! I even told you that but did anyone listen, NOOOOOO! It's just too hard to listen to me!
Max: Michael…
Michael: No MAX NO! I've had it! Now it's your turn to listen. I didn't like this plan , I didn't even like the plan to ignore her; to cut her out of our lives but you didn't listen.
It's all your fault she's gone! It's all your fault FEARLESS LEADER!!!! IF SHE'S DEAD I BLAME YOU! YOU MAX!
Liz: Michael that's enough! It's not Max's fault!
Michael: Your right it's not Max's fault… It's mine.
Isabel: Don't do this to yourself… you had no idea she'd run off like this… no one did…
Ava: Isabel is right, you couldn't have known.
Michael: No I should have…Maria and I have a connection. I should have known what she'd do, I should have stopped this when I had the chance, I should have never agreed to it.
Michael started to choke up and Isabel walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him the gang was silent as they listened to Michael's anguished sobs. Pretty soon Isabel was sobbing, followed by Liz, Ava, Kyle, Max then Alex. They never thought in a million years that they could ever loose their dearest friend to one stupid plan.
Meanwhile, after recovering from the shock of seeing the man behind the voice Maria thanked him and after much deliberation decided to stick with him. It wouldn't be easy but she'd learn to trust this individual. After all who did she have left? All the rest of her friends had deserted her and her mother was dead. They had both decided to leave New York and start over elsewhere. But before they could move away they had to return to Roswell to say goodbye to her mother. After talking this over with her partner it was decided she would return.
Back at the restaurant the others are talking discussing what they are gonna tell Maria's mother. How they were gonna explain to her that her only child was missing somewhere, that she could be hurt or even worse dead. They are broken out of there thoughts by a phone ringing. Max answers the phone.
Max: Hello. Oh Hi sheriff Valenti. How are you?
Sheriff Valenti: Not so good Max
Max: Is there a problem? Are you sick?
Sheriff Valenti: No Max actually I…
Max: Oh do you want to talk to Kyle?
Sheriff Valenti: Actually Max I want to talk to Maria. Is she there?
Max: Not right now. Why is there something wrong?
Sheriff Valenti: I wanted to talk to Maria actually but this maybe easy coming from her friends. After this news she's gonna need you all for support.
Max: What's wrong.
Sheriff Valenti: I don't know how to tell you this Max but a few weeks ago there was a murder committed in Roswell. A woman was in her house; she was attacked and killed. According to the autopsy reports she was torched prior to being decapitated. Anyway the details of her death aren't important. It's her identity that is.
Just at that moment Max got a lump in his throat. He knew what he Sheriff was about to say and prayed he wouldn't.
Max: Who was it Sheriff?
Sheriff Valenti: There isn't any easy way to say this so I'm just gonna come out with it… It was Amy Delucca Max.
Max: Are you sure?
Sheriff Valenti: Yes. I wish to God I were wrong. I know what this is gonna do to Maria my heart goes out to her Max. Please give her this message and be strong for her all of you need to be cause this is gonna kill her.
Max: will do. Bye
Sheriff Valenti: Goodbye Max.
Kyle: How comes he didn't want to speak to me.
Max ignores Kyle and goes silent. He walks over to his chair and stairs off into space after 10 minutes he tells the gang the news.
Michael: Is he sure? I mean they could have made a mistake.
Max: He's sure.
Liz: OMG she was like my second mother. I can't believe this.
Liz tears up and Max hugs her. They begin to reminisce about Amy and later decide to return to Roswell in Maria's place to arrange to have her buried. They figure that it is what Maria would want them to do. They pack and return to Roswell the same night. They stop by Kyle's house to see the Sheriff. He greets them with open arms and they catch up on gossip. It's not long later that the gang decides to tell the Sheriff about Maria. Michael starts to tell the Sheriff what happened but is interrupted by him when he tells them that Maria has planned the funeral and it will take place Wednesday. They are shocked. This does not go unnoticed by the Sheriff.
Valenti: What's wrong.
Liz: You said Maria's here in Roswell and she knows about Amy.
Valenti: Well yeah that would be because you told her what happened. You did tell her right.
They all go quiet. After a while Ava finally speaks.
Ava: We've got a confession to make.
Valenti: Yah what?
Alex: We never told Maria about Amy… we couldn't.
Valenti: Why?
Michael: Cause Maria went missing three weeks ago.
