"Remember the plan guys!" Zan whispered to Maria and Max, as they grew closer to the school "We get in and out. Max stand guard near the front of the building. Maria, you're with me. We will go straight to the office. Do you remember to bring the plan?"
"Yep. Got it right here!" Maria said waving the piece of paper in front of Zan's face. The wonders of modern day Internet. It was amazing the type of stuff you could download and the drop of a hat. It was lucky that Max was quite the little computer wiz otherwise Zan and Maria would never be able to do have the stuff they did, not without his help and knowledge.
"So when you get in there, go straight to the down the hall to the main office, I am guessing there's going to be a minor lock on the door so it should be simply for one of you to break into. Now go straight to the files, we looking for Elizabeth Parker, middle name unknown so just pray that there's only one! Once you get the file…"
"Max, we've been through this already. Once we get the file, find the photocopier, copy file, replace file, relock door and get out of there. We know we got this covered ok?" Maria said
"Look Maria, this is to stop you making some…" Max started
"Mistakes that you know you will, we know the plan we just making sure that…" Zan continued
"You don't screw this up!" Max finished
"Fine whatever. Are you ready to do this?" Maria asked pulling her brown curls back into a ponytail. She looked more pale then normal dressed all in black. The twins were also dressed all in black, helping them blend into the shadows.
The three of them moved quickly towards the front of the school, Zan moving in front closely followed by Maria and then Max. The boys providing a small amount of protection for their younger sister.
Zan stopped, looking around for the nearest window, which would be used as their door to the school.
Max and Maria stood back watching their brother at work.
"You know, you would think that they would buy stronger locks for their windows!" Maria whispered to Max as the lock on the window popped open
"Would you really want this to be any hard?" Max asked
"You know I am always one for a challenge!" Maria whispered back
Zan climbed up and through the window with ease, making it look so simple that Maria glared at him, if she was only just a little taller then she wouldn't need Max to give her a boost up.
"Damn have you put on weight?" Max asked as he lifted Maria up towards the window
"I think someone needs to lay off the pies!" Zan stated as he pulled Maria through the window.
When Maria stood up she hit Zan on the side of his head. Pies! She didn't even like pies! And if anyone needed to lay off the pies it was the fat ass twins!
"Can we just get this over with?" Max asked pulling himself into the building.
"Come Maria, let's go and check this office out!" Zan said leading the way to down the darkened corridor
"So, this is the dump that might become your day time prison!" Maria muttered to Zan
"Yeah, well its got nothing on our school!" Zan said
"Yeah well Roswell got nothing on LA full stop," Maria said and then on an after thought added silently 'apart from the salty goodness'
"Well if we get caught tonight, LA will be nothing be a distant dream but you know while we are in Roswell we might as well make the most of it. Right now I am picturing me and Liz and we are…"
"I really don't need to know what you're doing so keep those sick little thoughts in your head and anyway she might pick Max instead of you!" Maria pointed out
"Don't be stupid. Max may look like me but he ain't me and all the ladies want me cause I am dark baby, of yeah I am dangerous…"
"Oh yeah you are such a dork!" Maria said "Dark? Dangerous? I think not"
"Strange!" Zan said stopping at the door to the office
"What?" Maria asked trying to look pass him
"Its already open!" Zan said pushing the door opening
"Maybe we should go back!" Maria said, the hairs on the back of neck standing up
"No, we need that file." Zan said walking into the room
"Oh my god. What is that smell? Do these people bath in aftershave or something!" Maria said holding her nose.
"Maria, shut up and look for the file!"
"Since when did you become King? You can't order me around!" Maria stated folding her arms and sitting on the desk intent on doing nothing. Zan wanted that file so much he could look for it himself.
Zan searched through the files, when he heard Maria sneeze
"Bless you!" they said together absentmindedly and then looked at each other in shock
Maria turned slowly round, looking behind the desk Zan coming up close behind her, ready to protect Maria so that she could make her escape.
"Alex? Salty goodness? And I think I discovered where the smell is coming from!" Maria said wrinkling her nose as she looked at the three boys that had been hiding behind the desk.
"Maria. Hey fancy seeing you here!" Alex said standing up smiling sheepishly at Maria and her anger looking brother.
"Yeah fancy that. So is this a private party or can anyone join?" Maria asked raising an eyebrow.
"What are you doing here?" Michael asked glaring at the girl. They had been searching through the files for just under an hour and had found nothing about the three newcomers.
"You know I could ask the same thing!" Zan stated standing to his full height, ready to action. He was tempted to call Max in but Max was needed as the look out. Maybe he should send Maria in Max's place and then him and Max could sort out these guys.
"Well we were just…" Alex started but Michael cut him off
"Why don't you have any files? What are you doing in Roswell? What…"
"Michael, have you ever heard of tact?" Alex muttered
"You were looking for our files? Well I flattered!" Maria said with a grin. Salty goodness was looking for her file that must be a good sign!
"And why would you be looking for our files?" Zan asked
"Michael here, tends to get paranoid about new people in Roswell, I am Kyle by the way!" Kyle said
"We searched the whole place there are no files for a Max Deluca, a Zan Deluca or a Maria Deluca!" Michael said
"Well duh there wouldn't be." Maria stated before moving to one of the cabinets and looking through it until she found what she was looking for. She dropped three files on the desk; Alex picked up one and flicked through it.
"Alexander Riley Deluca Evans, transfer from LA etc, etc. It's all here! How come you only said that your name was Deluca?" Alex asked Maria who shrugged
"Deluca Evans? Hold on sec, your dad's a lawyer right and you three cause a hell of a lot of trouble around LA and…"
"Kyle, what the hell are you talking about?" Michael asked his best friend
"I just read it in the newspaper and…"
"We were in the papers? Was there a picture?" Maria asked excitedly
"Yes and no!" Kyle answered
"Dad and mom must have been having a fit when they read it. No wonder they sent us to Roswell this time!" Zan groaned. He started looking through the files again looking for Liz's and smiled when he found it. Parker, Elizabeth Anne
"Anne? Dude that sucks!" Maria said reading over Zan's shoulder
"I'll be right back! You going to be ok in here?" Zan asked Maria, she nodded and as he left he gave the three guys a warning look.
Maria sat back on the desk and started to look through her own file smiling slightly as she read it.
"So Maria…" Alex started sitting on the desk beside her
"So Alex…" Maria said looking up briefly
"I am sorry about this. You know coming here to look in your private files. I would like to take this chance to blame everything on Michael." Alex said looking down at his hands
"Hey, no worries. You can just buy me a coffee to make it up to me!" Maria said grinning. Oh yeah because she was going to get everything there was on Michael out of Alex.
"How about tomorrow? I could even give you the grand tour of Roswell!" Alex said eagerly
"Tomorrow? Sure, you can pick me up from my aunt's!" Maria said smiling. Alex was so cute and eager like a new puppy always trying to please.
"Great!" Alex said grinning at his brother and Kyle
Zan entered the room again, replacing the file before looking at Kyle and Michael, his brown eyes narrowed making Kyle feel uncomfortable, what had Alex said about this guy earlier?
"So your gay!" Kyle said trying to get a conversation started
Zan choked; did he just say that he was gay?
"Gay? I am not gay! What the hell gave you that idea?" Zan said glaring at Kyle
"Well Alex told us. He heard Maria telling Liz and…" Kyle stopped speaking.
"You told her I was gay! Maria, you told her I as in me that I was gay!" Zan said angrily, his eyes flashing. Maria smiled sheepishly
"Well you did…"
Before Maria could finish her sentence Max rushed in the room
"We got trouble!"
