Max turned over and reached out for Liz. Feeling only empty covers he opted
for the second option, finding her with his mind. After they had made love
for the first time, they could sense each other, strong emotions, as well
as where they were physically.
Opening his eyes he looked around the room, he couldn't feel her. That didn't make sense, he could always sense her, no matter where she was in the area. Looking back down at her side of the bed he saw a peice of white paper with his name on it. Picking it up slowly he unfolded it then stared at it in shock.
Dear Max,
I only hope you can forgive me for what I am about to do. By the time you find this, I should be out of the area so you won't be able to sense me. Please understand that I am doing this for a good reason. I have to go for now, I don't know when I'll be back. There's something I have to do, on my own. I'm so sorry, more than you'll ever know, for everything.
Tell Maria that I am fine, and tell Iz to not even try to find me by dreamwalking. I have already set up a barrier in my mind so she can't get in. I need to do this on my own, completely. When I can I will contact you guys. I promise.
Don't waste time looking for me, go before the Unit gets close to you. I promise I'll find you eventually. Take care and don't get yourselves caught. That is the last thing I could bear.
I love you all, an Max, know that I love you with all my heart. Keep gong, protect the others, the need you more than me right now. Don't let anything happen to them or you.
All my love,
Liz
Max reread the letter once, then looked around the room more closely. Her clothes were gone, and so was she. His first thought was to forget her request and go after her, but as he looked around the room he saw the others and realized she was right, they needed him. Letting the paper fall back on the mattress he ran his hand through his hair. Where was she going, and what was he going to do without her. How could he make himself leave without her...
But first he had to tell the others. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath to gather his courage.
"Wake up everyone." he called softly, but they all woke up in an instant and looked at him. Sighing he looked away from Maria, he couldn't look at her when he told them. "It's Liz..."
