Chapter 8
Crashdown Café
Liz and Maria are working as waitresses. Kyle, Isabel, and Michael are sitting at what used to be their regular booth. Michael and Isabel are hand in hand.
Kyle: So have you decided on what you're going to name the baby yet?
Isabel: Well if it's a boy we're going to name him Alex.
Michael: But if it's a girl we're going to name her Destiny.
Kyle: Well if I were you and I had a son, I would name him Buddha but if it were a girl I'd name her Isabel.
Isabel: Really? Thanks. Max walks into the Crashdown.
Max: Liz, what are you doing?
Liz: Oh hi Max. I'm just trying to earn a little cash. You know, for security purposes.
Max: Liz, you don't have to do that you know Michael can just whip up some anytime.
Liz: I know. I'd just really feel comfortable if I actually did something for a change.
Max: Well Maria can cover. Just come with me.
Liz: Max I can't just...
Max: Come with me. Liz loved the way Max looked at her when he was being romantic. It made her hard to resist. Liz smiled.
Liz: Okay. Maria, I'm just going to leave for a while.
Maria: Yea, fine. Live the life I so desperately want. Liz gives Maria a strange look. Nothing, have fun.
Max: Iz, you know how to contact me right?
Isabel: Yes but I'll be fine little brother.
Max: I hate it when you call me that.
Isabel: I know. Isabel smiles at her brother. Max smiles back and then he and Liz leave.
Later
Isabel is taking a walk at the park when she hears a noise behind her.
Isabel: Who's there? Its silent. Relax Isabel you're just being paranoid. She hears a noise. A man jumps out of a tree in front of her. It's Kivar. Isabel automatically uses her radar power to call Max.
Parker Residence
Max and Liz are in Liz' room, obviously occupied when Max suddenly stops.
Liz: What is it Max?
Max: Isabel's in trouble.
