Tess watched as Max and Liz came out of Brody's office holding hands, she felt a twinge of jealousy pull at her heartstrings, her and Max had gotten closer since they had come back from New York, well at least she thought they had but if that was true than why did it seem like him and Liz were back together. She wasn't the only one who was thinking that at that exact moment it was also running through the minds of everyone else there all except Isabel who knew what was going on, as she, also reached out for Alex's hand seeking her own sort of comfort from him he squeezed her hand back and gave her a quick smile it made her feel so much more calmer and able to face what ever they had too.
"Michael and Maria won't get back until tomorrow" stated Max pulling Isabel from her thoughts "but we have to discuss this now so I will fill them in when they get here...well the thing is...." Max told everyone what had happened since Kyle Valenti had given him the blue substance now know as gandarium, that Jim Valenti (local sheriff well ex-local sheriff as of a few days ago and Kyle's father) had found at Laurie Dupree's gravesite where she had been buried alive and rescued by them days earlier.
"Oh great" said Kyle sarcastically "You weren't happy just getting my dad suspended, you had to bring about the end of the world as well" Max was taken aback by this but he wasn't entirely surprised and he couldn't really blame Kyle for saying it.
"That's not fair Kyle" said Liz, jumping to Max's defence "It's not his fault, it's not any of their fault."
"Liz's right son" Jim answered before Kyle had time too "this is not the time for that argument we have to work together to try and solve this."
"I know your right" Kyle grudgingly agreed with his father "well what are we going to do, I'm assuming we have labelled this a alien/human problem and your not going to exclude us in any of the decision making" Kyle looked straight at Max's while saying this.
"Can't we use our powers" piped up Tess "I mean to destroy the gandarium, is that what it's called?" Tess looked at Max with enquiring eyes as did the rest of the group, he hated it when they did this to him especially since he had about as much of an idea as any of them did about how they were going to deal with this problem.
"Yes that's what Brody I mean Larek called it, as for your other question I'm not sure, we didn't have time to ask Larek much before we were disconnected or whatever" replied Max
"Maybe you could contact Larek again" suggested Alex "That's if Isabel is up to it"
"I'm fine now Alex" said Isabel smiling at him "but I don't think Brody could handle it, we almost killed him last time, hopefully Larek will be able to prepare his body and will get back to us soon, if not then we will have to take the chance and contact him ourselves"
"Okay than we will give Larek until tomorrow night, in the meantime, we will try to use our powers to see if we can destroy the gandarium that we have, if that works then we go to Frazier Woods tomorrow when Michael gets back to find the rest, also maybe Liz and Alex could take another look at it, there may be a non alien way to kill it, does everyone agree with that?" Max purposely added that last bit for Kyle's benefit.
"What about me and dad" Kyle asked "we don't have anything to do"
"I was hoping that maybe both of you could keep Agent Duff occupied, the last thing we need is her interfering with this" replied Max "also we need to somehow get Grant Sorenson away from the woods tomorrow so we can go check things out there"
"Well that's not going to be a problem" said Isabel "I saw him outside the Crash Down when I went to look for the others, he said he was going away for a couple of days"
"Great! At least one thing has gone right today" sigh Jim who didn't really want to have another run in with Sorenson again.
"Ah..." Liz started to say "I think we have to tell our parents what's going on" she blurted out, everyone turned and stared at her like she had just grown another head "Don't look at me like that, I just think we are going to need as much help as possible on this one...also if we can't prevent it then I would like, not to be lying to my parents in the last days of my life" Liz didn't mean to sound so morbid but she felt that if everything did turn out for the worse than her parents deserved to know the truth.
"I agree" said Max who surprised everyone even more "I know mum and dad need to know" he was looking at Isabel "We knew we would have to tell them one day and this is as good as any"
Isabel nodded in agreement she had been wanting to tell her folks for the longest time she was just sadden by the other consequences involved.
"When" she asked
"When the other two get back tomorrow morning we will all meet at the Crash Down" Max said in answer to her question "So everyone knows what they have to do?"
Everyone slowly nodded in agreement and knowing they had a long night ahead of them they said there goodbyes and left in pairs, leaving only Max there to close up the UFO Centre.
