PART 3 - SHE'S UNIQUE

Alex sat down and opened the computer. ADP was next. He looked around and noticed a new guy sitting next to him. Pale skin and black hair. 'Weird combination' he thought.

"Hi." The guy said. Alex looked around and realized that he was talking to him.

"Hi. New here?" Alex said and klicked the mouse.

"Yeah. You wouldn't believe how much I hate the whole 'new in town' thing." The guy said and typed something.

"I can't say I can imagine."

"Local?"

"Yes, very. Alex Withman." Alex interduced himself. The guy held out his hand.

"Nathan Carter, nice to meet you. Hey, maybe you can help me with my problem." Alex grabbed his hand and shook it.

"Sure. What's the problem?" Alex asked and Nathan took out his wallet.

"I've been searching for this girl. She was a very good friend of mine when we were kids." He took a photo out of his wallet and showed it to Alex. "She disappeared while we were here last time. We were both five and our parents had take us to the desert to picnik. Her parents think that she was kidnapped. They stopped searching her after three years. Couldn't handel it, I think. I just want to find her and I don't think that she's dead like others think."

Alex looked at the picture and took a deep breath. It was Maria. "I'll try to look around but I don't think that you're going to find her."

"I have to. She's unique. One of it's kind, you know? I'll find her." Nathan put the picture back to his wallet and turned to the screen.

"Hey, Maria." Maria heard Alex calling her. She turned around and saw him coming towards her.

"Hi, Alex." She greeted him but then noticed his worried look. "What is it?"

"Umm... We have to talk." Alex said and looked around. "Where's Liz?"

"Coming, I think. What is it, Alex? Is it something bad?" Maria asked. "Czechoslovakian related?"

"Yeah, but..." Maria interrupted him.

"Then we should tell it to the pod squad." Maria said but Alex just shook his head 'no'.

"This has nothing to do with them. It's about you." Alex said quietly.

*****

Nathan came to his apartment and went to the bedroom. He laid down to the bed and started to think.

Nathan's POV...

I didn't see her today. Shame. But I belive that she's in this town. She has to be. Where ever I went I felt her being near. And the dreams... they're much intence. Well, at least that guy, Alec or Alex what was his name, promised to help me look for her. I have a good feeling about this. I know I'm close.
