Hey! Thanks for all your reviews! I know the story's getting a little bad, but I promise you it WILL get better!
"So, what's your plan?"
"Well, as I see it…"
Max was distracted by a figure standing at the doorway. He turned around to face her and gasped.
"Liz?"
He ran over to her and held her tightly, never wanting to let her go ever again. They stood wrapped in each other. He was burying his head in her hair, taking in her scent. Tears were rolling down their cheeks as the others stood in awe of the reunion of two lovers. He voice was soft and sweet, no longer scared.
"Max!"
"Max! Max! Are you listening? MAX?" Isabel was shaking her brother by the soldiers, trying to get him to come back from his own thoughts. He looked around and saw he was still sitting at the table. A lone tear rolled down his cheek.
"She was just a dream?"
They looked at him in concern. They knew if they didn't do something soon, they would not only loose Liz, but Max aswell.
Agent Barlow walked along Main Street of Roswell, New Mexico. There was another convention at the UFO centre, the third one this month, which meant that the streets were busy. He heard a scream coming from a near by alleyway, and ran over to investigate. He rounded to the back of a building and found a young girl hunched up against a garbage bin, holding her knees close to her chest. As he came closer, he could see tears running down her face.
Before he had a chance to ask if she was okay, three men tackled him to the ground and tied his arms behind his back. The girl stood up and wiped the water off her face, and then proceeded to help with the man.
Zan held him down whilst Kyle tied up his hands. Michael ran to the street and waved his hand in the air as if to signal someone.
"HELP! HELP ME PLEASE!"
"No one can hear you idiot! They're all at the convention at the UFO centre!" Kyle's voice was muffled from the Halloween mask he was wearing so they wouldn't be identified.
"HELP!"
A van drove down the alleyway and the back door opened. They threw him into the van, closed the doors and sped off, leaving no trace that they had ever been there.
They had put a sack over his head so they could remove the masks and be able to breath freely, and a gag around his mouth so he couldn't speak, or yell.
Maria was driving, whilst Charlie sat in the passengers seat.
"Do you guys do this stuff often?" She had a bemused expression on her face, a little surprised at what she had just done. She was chosen to be the damsel in distress as the FBI wouldn't have know who she was unless they were monitoring Zan aswell, but they doubted they even knew who he was.
The plan was to kidnap one of the agents walking around Roswell, and rescue Liz. Charlie was surprised that none of them had thought of this before, or even tried it. She told Zan her idea, afraid that they would all think it was childish, but at that point I time they were willing to do anything.
"Only when we're really desperate, or when we're just bored!" Maria had a large smile on her face, they were finally going to end all of this, and they could finally have a normal life!
"Rath, where to now?" They couldn't used each others real names, so their alien names seemed like the reasonable thing to use.
"To the cave where the Master and Vilandra are awaiting our presence!" Michael was given specific instructions of where to go, and only he knew. It was safety precaution, in case one of the others accidentally blurted it out. They hadn't been to Riverdog's cave since Michael had gotten sick, so they figured that it was the safest place right now.
Isabel had to practically drag Max out of the house. He had been in his own little world ever since Liz was taken over a day ago. She was worried that he was slipping out of this world, and she wouldn't be able to get him back.
They pulled up at the old Indian reservation, which was now abandoned. She dragged him through the dense grass and weeds, and finally they reached the entrance to the cave.
"Why are we here?"
His voice shocked her, as it had been the only thing he had said since he punched the wall.
"Max, I told you! We're getting Liz back!"
"No, no! It's too late! We can't get her back!"
"Max, please!"
"No Isabel, I failed, I promised her I would keep her safe and I failed! It's too late now, she's gone!"
"Max, please listen to me! She is not gone! We can still get her back, but we need you!"
"It's too late!"
Her hand was cold against his cheek. A large red handprint became visible seconds after their skin separated.
"Max please! I really need my brother right now! Remember when we were younger and I hated the way you acted like you were in charge, all because you were king? Well now I need you to be king Max, I need you! We all need you! Liz needs you! So get over yourself, snap out of it and act like a king!" Her voice rang through the woods, echoing off every tree, every rock, and back to Max. Everything around him blurred as her words sank in. She was right! His voice became deep and full of rage. He said it under his breath, but there was no way Isabel could mistake the word.
"Liz!"
