Liz woke up in her room, still a bit tired. She looked around, a little confused seeing her pictures and not Michael's posters. Liz sat up, putting her hand to her head for a moment before taking the covers off of her. She stood up, and went over to the mirror looking her over. 'No bruises, or any other wound for that manner...' she said to herself, then started to get dressed into her uniform.
Max and Michael sat in Michael's living room, Michael a bit upset. "Max, we don't know where Nasedo, or Tess. For all we know Nesado could be Maria, or Liz. And Tess, she could just mind warp us and..." Michael started flaring. "Michael, I know. But for right now we-we just have to wait." Max finally said, hoping that Michael would lay off and leave the subject be.
"WAIT, wait for what! Maria to be taken away, Liz to be snatched again and beaten to death..."
Max stood up, now ticked off. "Michael, no one is going to do that to Liz, or Maria. They'll be fine until we know more. Now PLEASE, stop this and try to go back to how it was before. God, you think of Maria as always in danger. But you don't seem to care for her regularly."
Michael opened his mouth to say something, but deep down he knew he was right.
Max went to the door, opening it. "See you later Michael." he said shutting the door behind him.
Michael sat on the couch in thought, "Oh Maria..." he said silently, before placing his hands up to his face in frustration, confusion, and sorrow.
Liz looked down at her note pad and nodded, "Ok, 3 alien blood milkshakes, and a pizza saucer coming right up." Liz smiled to the three diners who were looking at the wall, admiring the pictures. Liz turned and walked around the counter placing the yellow paper on the turner before going back to another table.
Max walked through the door, giving a glance around the room soon finding Liz. He turned and sat down at one of the tables before Liz could see him. He placed the menu so that no one could see his face and smiled to himself as he looked it over.
Liz walked back from behind the counter bringing the milkshakes and pizza back to the table, and gave them the bill before going to the table with a menu placed in front of the guys face. She rolled her eyes a bit, and brought out her notepad and pencil. "Hi, welcome to the Crashdown. May I take your order?" she asked looking at the menu, ready to see the persons face.
"I'd like you to come with me to the new restaurant, then back to a hotel." Max smiled lowering the menu.
Liz smiled broadly seeing that it was Max, she then looked down at her notepad. Changing her expression back to normal, in a kind of mocking way. "Well, that would be an order that I can do for you. What time would you like this order?" she asked giving Max a slight smile.
Max sat back and looked at his watch, "Well, how about around 7. I'll pick the order up." he smiled with a nod closing the menu, placing it on the table.
Liz nodded, "Alright then, it'll be ready by tonight. But, can you fix a problem in the back. It just can't go through the day without something. But I just don't know what that is." she smiled turning and heading for the back.
Max smiled after her, getting up and following her. As he entered the back he took her in his arms and kissed her tenderly. "How I missed you..." he said softly against her lips.
Liz smiled and put her arms around his neck, "I felt it..." she said moving one of her hands down his chest as she leaned forward and kissed him deeply. Max held her close in his arms, not wanting to let her go. But he knew he had to and broke off with her, but placed a smile on his face. "Well, you need to get back to work. So I'll let you go, but make sure my order is done by tonight." he said starting backwards toward the back door.
Liz smiled, "I promise that it will be ready by tonight." she laughed a bit, watching as Max nodded and slipped through the door. Disappearing from her sight. She sighed, then walked back into the Crashdown, only to see Tess sitting in Max's seat...
