Michael's Apartment
Maria didn't think she could take the news. Someone had gotten
permission from Alex's parents, who by the way had simply picked
and left town two days after Alex's death because they couldn't
handle it anymore and no one knew where they were, to not only
open Alex's grave but to reexamine his body. That was the final straw
she couldn't take it anymore and she screamed. Michael, Max, Kyle and
Isabel were scared from their quite conversation and focused on Maria.
Kyle was the first to dare speak to her, "Are you alright?"
Maria simply ignored him and stared straight at Max, "What's the plan?"
Max was a loss of words, he couldn't think, boy how he wished Liz was
there but she wasn't so a plan was formed and action taken. Max sat
at one of Michael's bar stools and started counting duties off to
everyone. He directed his gaze the group of friends all either
standing or sitting anxiously waiting for his orders. "Kyle, your
dad has some information on her already. Go to her hotel tomorrow
and see if you can get in her room. Try to get all the information
you can. Isabel go with him." They both nodded and he turned to
look at Maria and Michael, "You two have to keep her occupied while
they are in there. Maria can you get in accident with her car?"
"What!? That's your master plan." Maria stood and simply shook her
head fervently back and forth while failing her arms, "No way. That
car is barely running as it is 'cause all the trips Spaceboy has put
it through now you want me to wreck it!" Before Max could speak
Michael held onto Maria and looked directly into her eyes, "Maria
please, besides you know I'll take care of it." She slumped her
shoulders in resignation and simply nodded. "Look I've got to go
back to work. Max when do we put his plan to action?" "Tomorrow.
Sheriff Valenti says that she is still at the hospital and he will
call me if there are any changes." Everyone nodded their agreements
and went their separate ways. As the phrase, here we go again simply
repeated itself in their heads.
As Max walked out in the afternoon heat he prayed everything was
going better with Liz. They had all agreed not to tell her anything
until she returned so that she could focus on her studies. He started
walking home to wait for Valenti's and her call.

Crystal looked one last time out her window to the cars waiting below.
They had come, true she hadn't expected any less from them but actually
being here was a great comfort for her. It would make her stay much
easier if she had those who already knew the truth with her to support
her every step. She was taken out of her thoughts when Darien walked
back into the room to take her suitcase, "you know she is sorry for
what she said yesterday." Crystal just nodded and walked out ahead
of him to the awaiting assigned vehicle. Darien simply let a sigh
out and locked up behind Crystal. He turned in her keys to the front
desk and paid her bill. Crystal was going to sleep tonight and not
think about anyone or anything for the next five hours, she deserved
this for God only knew when she was going to rest again.
Evans Household
Max's Room
Max was sound asleep with a smile on his face. He was dreaming of her.
Her chocolate brown eyes and silky brown hair when he was jolted out of
bed when his cell phone rang. Damn it he thought just when it was
getting interesting. He reached for it on his nightstand and saw that
it was the sheriff. Immediately a feeling of dread took over as he
said hello to the sheriff. Sheriff Valenti didn't have good news for
him, "max sorry to wake you up but I thought you needed to know this a
soon as possible. Crystal is no longer alone. I had a deputy keep an
eye on her and he just radioed in that several couples came to her
hotel picked her up and to her to the old Harding residence." Max
was frozen, that was a name he didn't care to here anytime soon. There
was no doubt now this woman was here because of them but for what
purpose it simply eluded him. "Thanks sheriff now we will just sit
and wait for her to approach us." The sheriff didn't like that plan
but simply responded yes to it. After he hung up with Max Sheriff
Valenti looked out his window and grew concerned. Was that somebody
looking through binoculars from the roof of the building across the
street?

Crystal sat at the head of the table in the dining room looking
over the vast amounts of food that Lita had cooked this morning.
All for her she thought unfortunately hunger eluded her and she
simply sat up and grabbed a cup of coffee on her way out the door.
Everyone except for Lita were still asleep and she had told her that
they were not prisoners here like back on the island, they could go
out on the town explore shop and do as they please after all this a
sort of vacation for all of them. Lita had simply nodded and given
Crystal a hug as she walked out the door toward the Evan Law Office
for her eight o'clock meeting.

"Now remember this is a new client so be polite." Isabel was
fidgeting by the front door still unbelieving that her father
had requested they attend this breakfast meeting with his new
client. She loved Phillip dearly but these summer jobs they
got stuck doing for him were frankly tiresome at time. Once
her and max had gotten stuck babysitting two sets of twins
during a divorce case and that was no picnic. As her father
headed out to the car with her and Max in tow she couldn't help
but have this feeling that she was in for quite a shock.
Evan Law Office
7:45 a.m.
When they arrived at the office Cindy, Phillips secretary informed
them that the client was waiting in meeting room three. Philip
handed Cindy his items and picked up his clients file and directed
Max and Isabel to follow. As Philip slid the meeting room doors
open Max and Isabel gasped. Here in front of them stood Crystal Eaon.
"Are you kids alright?" Max and Isabel recovered their bearing
quickly and simply nodded as they took their seats at the end of the
table. Crystal hadn't turned to look at the arrivals she knew she
was early and had expected their surprise she finally did turn from
the window overlooking the parking lot to address Philip. "Hello
Mr. Evans it is great to finally see you again. How are you today?"
Philip walked up to Crystal and shook her hand as he responded and
guided her to the head of the table. "Now Miss Eaon, I am frankly
perplexed by your request. You have dozens of corporate lawyers
that can easily handle this situation for you." Crystal simply
smiled and answered, "True but, I don't want a corporate lawyer.
I would like for you to handle my personal affairs. Time is passing
Philip I'm not young and with my only heir dead I must make sure that
my fortune doesn't simply vanish in a couple years time." Philip
nodded and pointed toward his children. "Ooh Crystal forgive my
manners these are my children, Maxwell and Isabel. Children I would
like for you to meet Crystal Eaon, she is an old friend of mine from
high school." Max and Isabel simply nodded their heads in a gesture
of hello. Crystal saw their shock and turned to Philip; "Do you think
they would be of any help to me Philip?" Philip turned to look at
Crystal and smiled the proud smile of a father; "of course they can
help. Perfect example Isabel just finished high school and Max
doesn't have a summer job and as far as I know they have no further
plans than that." Crystal smiled this was going better than planned.
She turned to the Evans children and decided to walk up to them and
stand behind the chairs they were sitting on. "Well children your
father has volunteered you as my personal aids. Max I understand
you have a license but no vehicle. I have a vehicle but no driver
so that will be your job. At the end of the summer if I am satisfied
with your performance you make keep the car. Isabel I understand you
are an organize freak to the point that you have a nickname around
the Christmas holidays. That is exactly what I need. I have some
friends arriving at the end of the month so I need everything from stocking the fridge for their
arrival as well as providing transportation for them during their
stay. Ooh one last thing since I will need to be in constant contact
with you as well as you with them when they arrive I have purchased
several Nextel phones in order to make this easier on us. You also
get to keep the phones and you will be paid an hourly salary of
twenty dollars an hour and given expense money on a daily basis
to cover everything from gas to food. Your days will begin at
eight and not end until you are safe at home tucked in bed. She
turned to look at Philip and smiled, "Do you think that about covers
that matter?" Philip nodded. Crystal turned her attention back to
Max and Isabel, "Well children it is now eight so since you're on the
clock don't waste it Max get me some coffee, half a cup of coffee the
rest milk and a big scoop of sugar. Remember this because I always
take my coffee this way. Isabel Cindy has a list of calls that I need
made so you can start on that. I will be out shortly with further
instructions. Max and Isabel stood up like they had just been drenched
in a bath of cold water and all but sprinted out the front door. Max
was the first to speak, "I have to call Maria, Michael and Kyle we
had a plan now everything is changed. Isabel nodded and told Max to
get the coffee while she contacted the rest of the group. They would
have a meeting sometime today and discuss the new developments to
their lives.

"Now how are we going to explain this to Max. The woman is gone
and we have no clue where she ran off to." Maria was pacing on
the sidewalk while Michael simply kept rubbing his chin. He didn't
know what they were going to do and deep down he knew he wasn't going
to like the result. Both were startled out of their thoughts when
Maria's phone began to ring, "Well grab it spaceboy you are nearest!"
Michael reached into Maria's purse and pulled out her cell phone and
noticed it was Isabel calling. "Talk." "Michael forget the plan we
will meet at your apartment about one this afternoon. When Kyle gets
there tell him the same. I have to go." Michael didn't get a chance
to ask Isabel anything because she hung up. Maria stood in front of
Michael with her hands on her hips, "So what do we now." Michael
passed the phone to Maria and started to walk towards Kyle's car,
which had just parked itself behind Maria's. "We meet at my place
at one." Kyle overheard what Michael said and simply nodded as he
drove away towards the sheriff's office.
9:00 a.m., Evan Law Office
Philip and Crystal walked out of the meeting room shaking hands and
making dinner arrangements. It was decided that he and his family
would join Crystal and other friends in two weeks for dinner.
"Max, Isabel are you ready?" Max and Isabel were standing by the
front door and nodded yes. Crystal smiled and walked out of the
office towards her vehicle, a van. "Don't be startled Max this is
only one of the six vehicles that you will be driving I just need the
extra space today for your sister. You will be dropping me off at my
temporary residence and after that you will drive your sister around
so she can complete my errands. Ooh and Max always open a door for a
lady, especially when that lady is your boss." Max turned red up to
the tip of his ears as he rushed to open the door for Crystal.
9:20 a.m., Eaon Residence, formerly known as the Harding residence
"Are you sure that is exactly what she said Lita." Amy was confused;
Crystal had always kept a close eye on all of them now to all of a
sudden let them wander around was not making any sense. At that
moment the front door opened and Crystal walked in. "Well good
morning everyone. I trust you all slept well." Sixteen pair of
eyes turned to look at Crystal.

Liz couldn't take it anymore not only had the bus arrived 2 hours
late she had missed orientation and the campus looked deserted and
the few people she did encounter had no clue what she was talking
about. Finally exhausted she sat at one of the many benches the
school offered to it's students. "I swear I am in the Twilight Zone."
"Now that is one place you don't want to be." Liz jumped six feet in
the air when the male voice spoke to her. She grabbed her bags and
was ready to hit the stranger when he started laughing at her. "Miss
sorry I scared you I was just commenting on what you said. Trust me
I have been in limbo it is not fun. Now how can I help you, you look
lost." Liz sat back down and caught her breath, "I was supposed to
have been here 2 hours ago but my bus was late from Roswell so I
missed orientation and no one has a clue what I am talking about.
I want to go home. I think this is a sign from a greater being
telling me to go home." "Now miss don't take it so hard. Here let
me introduce myself. My name is Jedeite and I am a counselor here
for the Future Scientist of America, is that what you are looking for?"
Liz jumped and completely skipped Jediate's outstreached hand and
hugged him, "Yes that is the program I am here for thank you so much."
Jediate just giggled at the girl, Elizabeth was her name right. "Well
Elizabeth if you follow me true orientation and lunch are over but I
am sure that I can get you everything you need." Liz was relieved
and exhaled a deep breath she didn't know she was holding. "Thanks!"
Jediate smiled warmly at her as he took her biggest bag and motioned
her to follow him. "First place we are going to stop is my office.
All the information for the students that we're unable to be at
orientation for whatever reason has been placed there." Liz wondered
and so she dared ask, "What information exactly?" Jediate smiled but
he kept on walking, "Nothing much just a copy of your school records,
your interview answers as well as those of your family, friends,
teachers, etc. You are aware that we don't just let anyone into
this program." Liz was in shock she didn't know these people had
interviewed her family and her friends, why hadn't Max or Maria told
her about it. She was jolted back to reality when Jediate announced
their arrival to the Leonard Building. He asked her to wait for him
while he ran inside to pick up her information. "O.k. Elizabeth here
we are. This package contains your class schedule as well as your
room number and roommate name. There are two sets of keys to each
room which are given to you by the floor chaperon as you enter. You
must of course return them to her when you leave the floor." As they
continued their walk thru the campus Jediate pointed to all the
significant buildings in which she would be taking classes. Luckily
for her they were all located close by so if she was running late she
didn't have to worry. "Here we are Elizabeth the woman's dormitory,
Eaon Building. The gentlemen are staying in the V. A. Marti Building
next door and as you can see security is tight so no exchanging beds
at night." Liz just giggled, "You don't have to worry about me my
someone is back home." Jediate smiled and nodded as he opened the
door's for Liz to enter with her luggage. Liz was amazed she had
heard that when people come to this seminars they drop like flies
during the first 72 hours, she hoped she wasn't one. "Now Elizabeth
I would like for you to meet Agent 15. She is the guard placed inside
your building by the front door. There are other guards on the South,
East and West exits. They can easily be identified by their uniform
as well as their badge and as you can tell no hats so people can go
hiding their faces. Now you are located on floor 5 room 20 with a
young miss named Kendra Stone. She is arriving from Africa later
on tonight and so if you are a deep sleeper you might not get to meet
her until tomorrow morning. Now the elevator is around the corner go
ahead and drop your stuff then take the elevator back to the basement
where I will meet you. I am going to direct the kitchen staff to warm
you up tonights dinner." Liz stopped dead in her tracks on her way to
the elevator, "No that is o.k. Jediate just a bowl of cereal will be
fine." Jediate smiled considerate of others, good. "Sorry Elizabeth
you have big days ahead of you and feeding you properly at all times
is essential for your success. Now upstairs and we shall see each
other shortly to continue with your personal orientation." Liz
arrived on her floor with no problems and asked Agent 15 for her
room key.

your building by the front door. There are other guards on the South,
East and West exits. They can easily be identified by their uniform
as well as their badge and as you can tell no hats so people can go
hiding their faces. Now you are located on floor 5 room 20 with a
young miss named Kendra Stone. She is arriving from Africa later
on tonight and so if you are a deep sleeper you might not get to meet
her until tomorrow morning. Now the elevator is around the corner go
ahead and drop your stuff then take the elevator back to the basement
where I will meet you. I am going to direct the kitchen staff to warm
you up tonights dinner." Liz stopped dead in her tracks on her way to
the elevator, "No that is o.k. Jediate just a bowl of cereal will be
fine." Jediate smiled considerate of others, good. "Sorry Elizabeth
you have big days ahead of you and feeding you properly at all times
is essential for your success. Now upstairs and we shall see each
other shortly to continue with your personal orientation." Liz
arrived on her floor with no problems and asked Agent 15 for her
room key.
