Tess stood looking at them both with disgust. Liz jumped back, "Max!" she gasped as Tess started to run, seeing that she had been seen. Max turned, seeing her start to run. He stood up and looked back at Liz, "Stay here..." he warned not wanting her to get hurt. He started to run after her, going over the bridge, and into some trees. But then she just disappeared, then anger flew across his face. "Mind warp..." he mumbled, then realized Liz was alone. He sprinted back...

Liz sat waiting for Max, she looked around, fearful of what all this meant. 'Tess is back, probably going to try to get back together with Max. But where is Nasedo, then?' but her thoughts were cut short as Max ran around a corner coming back to her. She stood up fast, "Where is Tess?" she asked looking around for any sign that she was here. Max grabbed her hand, "She disappeared, we got to go..." he said pulling her behind him. Liz followed him, a bit confused by why Tess would just put a mind warp for no reason?

Max took her to a building not far away, opening the doors for her. Liz walked in more confused then ever. "Um, Max, where are we?" she asked looking around at the many doors and the hallway. Max grabbed her arm, harder, and led her to a room. "Max, what is wrong with you?" she asked trying to pull away from his grasp. Max held her even tighter, but then threw her into the room.

Liz fell to the ground, and looked back at Max. Starting to stand there was a huge glow, then Nasedo stood in front of her. Liz's face flooded white, as Nasedo turned and locked the door. "Max isn't here right now, and for you he never will be..." he said to her with a slight grin. "See you later..." he said on the other side of the door, as he started down the hall. Liz stood up quickly and ran into the door, over and over again. "Let me out!" she screamed banging on the doors, but no answer came to her. After a few more attempts she slid down the door, tears starting to form in her dark eyes.

She turned and looked in the room, folding her hands over her stomach. Only a lightbulb gave light to the room, a desk sat at one end of the room, and a chair behind it. Everything was covered with dust, and cobwebs.

Her hands slid from her stomach to her legs, pulling them close to her body. She then laid her head down on her dusty knees and started to sob.

Max came back to the bench to find it empty, "LIZ!" he called frantically, searching around for her. No answer. Max ran back to the street and headed to Michael's, where he left his jeep. He ran down the sidewalk, then into Michael's driveway. Barging through the door, finding Michael watching TV. Michael stood up, "Michael! Liz was taken!" he said grabbing the keys off the counter. Michael ran by Max to the jeep, taking a good guess that Tess had something to do with it.
