Part 7a: Hotel Check In -

Sunshine Inn Motel, Roswell, New Mexico, 6:00AM –

After Liz and Maria had checked into the hotel for the week. They went up to their room and started unpacking their luggage. Maria finished first and collapsed on the bed that she had chosen for herself.

"Maria, we don't have time to take a nap." Liz said as she noticed her friends state on the bed.

"Yeah, easy for you to say you slept all the way here." Maria said turning over so that her words were muffled by the pillows she was laying on.

"Come on Ria, we have to find Max. I'll go down stairs and get a phone book. Maybe we will get lucky and he'll be listed."

"Whatever." Maria said as she heard the hotel door close and Liz walking down the hallway before sleep claimed her.

------------------

Liz made her way back to their room an hour later with coffee and the phone book in hand.

"Maria, rise and shine." Liz said shaking her friend to wake.

"Liiiiizzz" Maria whined. "They were just about to go swimming." Maria said graugely as she rolled over to be greeted with a cup of coffee.

"Who was just about to go swimming?" Liz asked in a taunting voice.

"What? Oh uh no one. This for me?" Maria asked changing the subject.

"Yeah." Liz said with a knowing smile. "I got the phone book and he's not listed. But there are two other Evans listed here, ones a Phillip Evans and the other is John Evans. So I'm hoping that maybe he lives with his parents."

"So your saying that we are going to call these people up and ask if they know of a Max Evans?"

"Actually we are going to knock on their door. And ask if they know of a Max Evans." Liz said matter of factly.

"Wait wait why don't we just call them. Makes it so much easier, besides what if he doesn't live at either house? Or what if he does but he's not home." Maria said trying to think of more excuses.

"Maria, face it you are going to have to get out of bed sometime today." Liz said starting to tickle her friends side.

"I will I just don't want to right now." Maria tried to say through giggles.

"Come on get up, shower, for gods sake brush your teeth, and then we'll go man searching." Liz said as she stopped tickling her near sister.

"OK OK I'm up. But you do realize that this warrants a really long nice hot shower." Maria aid dreamily as she went to gather her toiletries.

"Good luck. There's no hot water." Liz said in a sympathetic tone.

"Awwwe." Maria said as she shut the bathroom door and hopped into the shower.
