Chapter 7
"Take her to Eagle Rock. Don't do anything till I get there." A male voice ordered. Max dropped the ring and dropped his head into his hands as he slumped to his knees in anguish.
Liz had been captured.
XXXX
"What are we going to do now?" Maria asked; Max was leaning against the wall, staring into space. It scared her so much to see Max like that; he was usually the one in charge, the one who had all the answers.
"We need to find out where they took Liz and fast!" Michael stated, taking over for Max.
"Why would they take her?" Tess asked. "I thought Pierce wanted Max."
"Liz doesn't know why Pierce wants Liz, all we know that she was captured by them when she was eight. Her mother was raped and killed in front of her." Max explained. "So, I'm guessing that they will use her dad against her to get what ever it was they wanted."
"Do you know where they took her?" Michael asked.
"A place call Eagle Rock." Max recalled and they shook their head.
"I haven't heard of that place before." Alex admitted while thinking.
"It doesn't matter if we have heard it before or not, we need to find out where's it based and get Liz as soon as possible!" Isabel snapped; her worry for Liz and frustration of not having answers were finally getting to her.
XXXX
Liz groaned as she woke up with a throbbing headache; she winced as she sat up and touched the bump on the back of her head. She pulled her hand away and was grateful to see that it wasn't bleeding so it didn't need to healed. She looked around at her surrounding and fear clutch at her heart while her eyes widen in fear. She shook her head in denial, refusing to believe that she was back in here.
Back in the white room.
The door opened and Pierce walked into the room with a smile.
"You!" Liz hissed as she stood up, she looked down and saw that she was wearing a hospital gown but was grateful that the back covered her and she had pants on.
"Welcome home Liz, where you belong." Pierce stated with a bigger smile and Liz shook her head.
"This is not my home, it's not even my solar system." Liz shot back and Pierce shook his head.
"Now, now, that's no way to treat the father of your baby." Pierce explained and Liz laughed a cold laugh.
"I would love to see you try and impregnate me." Liz remarked then rolled her eyes at Pierce's confused look. "The alien has got be to wanting a baby in order to get pregnant, it doesn't matter what you do, drug me or rape me or whatever, it won't work, you can't have sex with me." Liz stated matter-of-factly. Pierce growled as he threw himself at Liz only to blast away from a barrier that forms itself around Liz. "Because a barrier comes up and protects me from your kind." Liz added in, enraging Pierce with every word that came out of her mouth. Pierce looked at her with a glare before storming off in a huff, he decided to go to stage three of the plan and it better had work!

"Max?" Tess asked, Max was sitting on the steps, leading from the manager's office to the main ground. She sat down next to him. "Is it true?" she asked and Max turned to her, confusement filling his eyes while puzzlement covered his face. "About you and Liz being created for each other?" Tess answered and understand cleared his face.
"Yes, it's true. Liz had found a book and we both looked through it, it consist our destiny." Max explained and Tess nodded.
"How do you feel about it?" Tess asked and Max shrugged.
"I haven't told Michael or Isabel yet and Liz hates the idea of letting a book tell her how to live her life." Max stated with a faint grin.
"What about you?" Tess asked and Max's smile faded as he looked at Tess.
"I don't know, I mean, all my life I knew there was something waiting for me and she found me Tess. Listen, I have told you we can't keep doing this. You can't keep doing this. I love you but I love you the same as I love Maria and Isabel, as sisters." Max explained and turned pleading eyes on Tess. "Can't you just let me go and let me be with the person I really want to be with?" Max asked.
"Max, I love you!" Tess exclaimed and Max closed his eyes in anguish.
"I know that Tess, you keep telling me but I keep telling you that I don't feel the same. I'm sorry!" Max explained then looked at Tess once more. "I never meant to lead you on and hurt you," Max started as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her into a sideway hug. "But I have to follow my heart and it's leading me to Liz." Max whispered. Tess nodded as she pulled out of the hug and both of the stood up.
Tess looked at him with sorrowful eyes.
"I'm sorry too." She whispered before walking off, leaving Max behind to ponder her words but he didn't get far with it when all of a sudden he was struck behind the head with something hard and was knocked to the ground.
"We have him sir." One of the men announced as they dragged him away while two other men dragged in an unconsciousness Jeff Parker into the building and in place where Max Evans once were before hurrying off back to their transport.
XXXX
Liz looked around the room; she hated being in here that's for sure, especially after what had happened the last time. She just couldn't believe that Pierce could be so stupid. There was a humming sound and the door opened, she turned around and saw Max pushed into the room. He was wearing scrubs.
"Max!" Liz gasped out as she hurried over to him, she, gently, lifted his head and place it on her lap and stroked back his hair. "Max?" Liz whispered as her hand went round to the back of his head and she felt something wet and sticky on her hand, curious, she pulled her hand away and the blood drained from her face when she saw the blood on her hand. She place her hand back on the back of his head and closed her eyes, focusing as she healed the wound while clearing up the blood and checking for any eternal injuries.
Max's eyes opened and he groaned when the bright light hit his eyes, one of his hands came up and rubbed his forehead.
"Did anyone catch the number of that truck?" Max groaned as he sat up and found himself looking into Liz's eyes. "Liz?" Max whispered, his hand reaching for her cheek, hesitantly. Liz sighed when his hand cupped her cheek, she leaned into it and brought her up and covered his.
"I thought I would never see you again." Liz whispered. Max just nodded as he kissed her hard, all his fear, worries and relief mixed into the kiss as Liz kissed him back, just as hard. "Do you know where we are?" Liz asked in between kisses.
"A place called Eagle Rock, I found out when I touch the ring that you dropped. I got a flash." Max explained in between kisses, they were intruppted when the door opened once more, revealing Pierce.
XXXX
Isabel came out of the manager's room and gasped when she saw Jeff lying on the ground, at the bottom of the steps. She hurried down the steps and placed two fingers, checking for a pulse.
"Michael!" Isabel called shouted and Michael came barging out of the manager's room, his hand up, ready to defend them all.
"What?" Michael demanded.
"Naseco's back and Max is gone!" Isabel hurried out as Michael hurried down the stairs and knelt down beside the two of them. He shook Naseco roughly, causing Naseco to groan out as his hand came up to the back of his head.
"Damn!" Naseco groaned out. "It just had to hurt." He muttered as he sat up and looked at the two aliens in front of him.
"Isabel? Michael?" Naseco asked while looking around. "Where are we?" he asked.
"The U.F.O Centre, Max has been taken." Isabel exclaimed and Naseco frowned at them, he could sense that they were holding something back.
"What?" Naseco demanded.
"Liz had also been taken." Michael filled in when he saw Isabel's lack of speech and tears filling the young woman eyes at the fact that her brother and best friend had kidnapped from them by the F.B.I.
Naseco closed his eyes as fury washed over his body, he stood up only to sway lightly causing Isabel and Michael to stand up and grab an arm.
"When?" Naseco asked and Michael looked at his watch.
"About two hours or so." Michael reported and Naseco nodded.
"We need to find them!" Naseco announced as Tess, Maria and Alex came down the stairs.
"Where are they?" Tess asked.
"How do you even know that they are in the same place?" Alex asked
"Pierce would want them to be in the same building so he could work on them and he's playing on Liz's fear of losing another person close to her." Naseco explained as he made his way to the front entrance. "They both are at Eagle rock, the same place where Liz was the last time."
"We'll need separated cars so we can make a quick get a way." A voice added in from the top of the stairs, causing the teenagers and Naseco to stop in their tracks, Naseco held up his hand.
"Who's there?" he demanded and Jim stepped into the light. "Why are you here and what do you want?" Naseco demanded.
"I heard that Max had been taken and I want to help you." Jim explained causing fury to rise through Michael's veins.
"Help us?" Michael demanded. "You chased us and kept demanding answers." He exploded. "Max was almost shot because of you!" Michael shouted, causing gasp of shock from the others.
"What do you mean?" Naseco asked and Michael turned to him.
"There was an alien hunter here, he started asking questions about Max and Valenti told him everything, Hubble took Max and almost shot him." Michael explained.
"Why would an alien hunter go after Max?" Naseco asked.
"He thought he was you." Jim explained causing confused looks from Naseco.
"Excuse me?" Naseco asked.
"Didn't you kill these people that had been murdered and left with sliver handprints on them?" Maria asked and Naseco groaned.
"It wasn't I! It was the other shape shifter, I haven't heard from him in a long time so I have no idea where he is or what he is doing." Naseco explained and rolled his eyes. "Figures he would do this." He muttered then looked at his watch. "We need to move quickly, who knows what Pierce is doing." Naseco explained as they all hurried out of the building and made plans before getting into the transports.
XXXX
Liz and Max stood up as Pierce walked over to them.
"Why did you bring Max here?" Liz demanded. "He has nothing to do with this!"
"I've been wanting to get my hand on Max after we found out that he healed Tess Harding." Pierce explained.
"But he has nothing to do with this!" she snapped.
"Oh, he has everything to do with this." Pierce chuckled before snapping his fingers, four men in white came into the room and grabbed Max, they dragged him over to the table and ripped open the top and held a scalpel knife to his chest while two other men held Liz and pinned her to the wall. "If you don't let me impregnate you, you will watch another person die in front of you." Pierce hissed out as he stroked back her hair. Fear clutched Liz's heart as the memories off her mother dying before her eyes flashed back while the blood drained from her face.
Max shook his head, telling her not to let him win. Liz closed her eyes and sighed.
"Yes." Liz agreed and Max's eyes widen in horror while Pierce smirked.
XXXX
"Why would they take Max?" Tess asked. Her, Naseco, Michael and Isabel were in the jeep while Maria and Alex were in the Jetta and Valenti was in the cruiser.
"Because he saved you." Naseco snapped.
"What about Liz?" Maria asked and Naseco was silent for so long that they almost gave up getting any answer from him.
"Pierce wants Liz for himself, for her to be his toy, it doesn't matter that she is an alien, apparently she is good enough for him." Naseco replied silently.
"What do you mean?" Alex asked and Naseco sighed.
"He want her to become his slave, you know, to do things and for her to be pregnant with his child so that he had an experiment to play with." Naseco said and Isabel choked back a sob.
"Does she know this?" Michael demanded and Naseco shook his head.
"I kept it from her as I didn't want her to be burdened with it." Naseco explained.
"That's no excuse!" Michael exploded. "The girl acts like that you are her real father and she loves you and you are going around keeping secrets from her, ones that could save her life!" Michael demanded.
"Listen! Liz is not vulnerable, Listen, when she was younger I, well, kinda programmed her, I made her read books and scan the internet, all the stuff she learned about fighting is from her scanning things, her brain process them and puts her muscles into action for them." Naseco explained.
"You mean, if we do the same thing..." Isabel started.
"It would happen the same with you but on a different level, I'm assuming you never really used your powers a lot?" Naseco asked and Michael and Isabel nodded. "It would take a little slower for you. After Liz scanned all the books, I made sure that she wouldn't used her powers unless it was urgent so she never used them after that except scanning books and Internet." Naseco said and everyone nodded.
XXXX
The men left the room, leaving Max strapped to the table, it hit him, he was going to be forced to watch Pierce practically rape Liz and not be able to do anything to stop it. Max noticed that the air in front of him shimmered slightly before Liz appeared.
"Liz?" Max asked as he looked toward Pierce; he saw Pierce talking to thin air while apparently taking off clothes from an invisible person.
"Don't worry Max, he can't hear us." Liz stated as she hurried over, Max could see pain in her eyes while a slight glean of sweat was forming on her forehead.
"What are you doing Liz and what's wrong?" Max asked.
"I have conjure up a projection of me into Pierce's mind, basically I'm making him see something that's not there but I'm not used to using my powers and it's taking a lot out of me." Liz explained as she tugged on the straps, trying to use her powers bit it was useless.
"What's wrong?" Max asked.
"The metal is too dense." Liz explained as she reached for the scalpel and focused heavily, the knife soon changed into a key and Liz fitted it into the lock, snapping the straps.
Soon Max was freed, he got up and both of them hurried out of the door, Max waved his hand over the door, sealing it. He turned back to Liz, only to catch her as she collapse.
"Liz?" Max whispered.
"I've just drained all my energy. We need to get out of here now!" Liz whispered as Max lifted her into his arms and hurried down the hallway only to bump into Michael and an F.B.I agent.
XXXX
"What are you going to do?" Isabel asked.
"The rest of you are staying here, I need Michael as his power is basically a blasting power and he is a male." Naseco explained as he hurried out, he waved his hand over the fence and cut a hole into it.
"Why can't I come?" Isabel demanded and Naseco looked at her.
"I know this place very well and Michael is the protector of the group so I need him, the rest of you stay here. No arguments!" Naseco hissed as he grabbed Michael and hurried over to the base.
"What are we going to do?" Michael asked as they managed to get into the building, Naseco just led him down to the morgue.
"We need to get Max and Liz out of here as soon as we can and I will deal with Pierce myself. First, you need a change of image." Naseco remarked as he waved his hand over Michael's clothes, changing them into F.B.I outfit and handed him a comb. "It's show time." Naseco remarked while Michael rolled his eyes.
Naseco changed him image into a black guy and straightened his clothes before looking out the window once more. Both of them hurried out of the room and walked down the hallway only to bump into Max carrying Liz.
"Max!" Michael hissed.
"What are you two doing here?" Max asked.
"Rescuing you, what's wrong with Liz?" Naseco asked as he checked her out.
"She used up her energy showing Pierce an image that wasn't there." Max explained and Naseco nodded as he grabbed Max's arm and turned to Michael.
"You memorized the map, get them out of here and remember the plan. DO NOT stuff it up!" Naseco warned as he hurried off while Michael grabbed Max's arm and dragged him off.
They hurried outside where they met up with everyone, Isabel hurried forward and hugged her brother and turned to her best friend in his arms.
"What's wrong with her?" Isabel asked, hysterical.
"She's just tired from using her powers. Maria, we are taking the Jetta." Max explained and Maria nodded as she handed him the key.
"Naseco told us the plan." Maria explained as she hurried over to the Jeep. Max set Liz in the passenger's seat, he made sure that she was settled before hurrying to the other side of the car and settled himself behind the wheel.
Isabel hurried over to the Jetta and handed them their clothes.
"Here you two, clothes." Isabel explained as she placed a hand on Liz's shoulder before hurrying over to the jeep. Michael walked over to the passenger side.
"I don't trust him." He whispered to Max.
"I do." Max whispered back and Michael hurried over to the jeep. They all started the transports and drove off in different directions.
"Are you okay?" Max asked Liz as she pulled on her top, she let out a shuddering sigh.
"Yeah, just a little dizzy and tired." Liz explained and looked at Max. "You?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. They didn't do anything to me." Max reported as he pulled on his t-shirt while Liz took the wheel, he, quickly, took the wheel again and waved one hand down his legs, changing the scrubs into jeans when all of a sudden gunshots started. Liz let out a small scream as she ducked down and Max swerved to the side. He hurried out of the car and ran to Liz's side, he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the transport. "Come on!" Max hissed to her as he wrapped an arm around her waist and helped her along.
Both of the hurried through the bushes till they reached the bridge but stopped when they saw cars in front of them, Max swore as he pulled Liz over to the bridge.
"We are going to have to jump Liz." Max stated and Liz nodded as he helped her to climb up the bridge, Max stood beside her and looked at her. They both kissed as they linked hands then looked into the inky black darkness in front of them. Their hands tightened and they jumped off the bridge with the F.B.I running toward them, hoping to catch them but they were too late.
