"Kyle?"
"Yeah, whadd'ya wan.Liz!?"
"Hey, um.are you alone?"
"Dad and Tess are here asleep. God Liz, where are you? What happened? We've been so worried! Are Michael, Maria and Max with you? Where are you? Can I come pick you up? Is."
"God Kyle, breath!"
"Sorry Liz. It's just."
"Yeah, I know Kyle. We're in White's City. We won't be able to keep our vehicle much longer."
"Don't worry, um.give me an hour & a half or so...you guys ditch the car, and I see you soon."

"Kyle's on his way."
"He comin' alone?"
"That's what he said."
"Well, we need to do somethin' with that truck. Why don't you go snag us some food.it's been a couple of days.I'll take care of the truck."
He turned, striding in the direction of our vehicle. A sensation I could only describe as sheer panic ran through me. My lifeline was leaving me, and I couldn't keep the terror out of my voice as I screamed at him.
"Michael!"
He was at my side in an instant. "What Liz, what's wrong!?"
I couldn't help feeing a bit sheepish for my outburst.
"Um.nothing's wrong Michael."
At his look of utter confusion, I couldn't help but find my shoes very interesting. "A.actually, I thought, maybe I could go with you to take care of the SUV, then we could go get something to eat.together." Confusion visibly turned into understanding for him.
"Sure, lets go." He took my hand in his, and led me to the SUV.
