Chapter 11
"Liz?" Max asked into the phone, his heart pounding heavily and madly against his chest. "LIZ!" he screamed when there was no answer, just a click signalling that the phone had been switched off.
Liz gasped as she came to; she looked around and saw that she was in a white room and that she was wearing a hospital gown. She sighed with relief when she felt that she still had her underwear on and that there was no pain in between her legs, telling her that she hadn't been raped.
"Good Morning Miss Parker." A male voice stated and Liz looked around.
"Who are you?" she demanded. "Where am I?"
"My name is Agent Pierce, you are here for an examination." He stated and Liz scoffed.
"That's why you drugged and kidnapped me?" she demanded.
"You need to be examined, just be patient." The male voice stated and there was a clicking noise, Liz turned to see it and there was four men in white came in and started strapping her down to the metal table that they brought into the room.
Liz fought them but they injected her with something as her eyes started to droop slightly from the pressure and soon the whole room went black.
Max paced the living room, his hands running through his dark hair, he was getting frantic, he needed to know where Liz and Tammy were, he went to the park and found the picnic that they had left behind, he had also found her mobile phone and panicked even more when he got a flash from her phone, there was a man in a black suit talking to another, he a feeling they were the F.B.I.
He looked at the clock, wondering what the hell it was taking for the gang to get here, he paced once more when the door opened, the gang stepped in, laughing except from Alex, he had been worried when Max phone up but the gang just told him that he was over reacting but looking at Max now, he knew that the gang was wrong.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" Max demanded and the gang turned to look at him.
"We went out, is that a problem?" Isabel asked as she moved over to the couch and Max stared at her in disbelief before shaking his head.
"Forget it, you obviously don't care." He muttered as he stormed out of the apartment, Alex shook his head as he went after Max.
"Max!" he called out, Max stopped and turned to look at him. "What's going on?" he demanded and Max turned terrified eyes to Alex.
"It's Liz, I think the F.B.I has her." He told him and Alex shook his head.
"Whoa, are you sure?" Alex demanded and Max nodded.
"I phoned Liz to tell her what happened with Tess, I knew that she took Tammy out for a picnic, you know, to get her away from the gang, she answered the phone and she just said that she thought someone was, it cut off from there. I went round and I found her phone, I picked it up and got a flash of a man in a black suit." Max explained before shaking his head. "I can't feel any of them, what if they're…" Max trailed off and Alex cut him off.
"You don't know that Max, don't go there till you know!" Alex warned and Max nodded.
"God, I wish there was some way we could know." Max burst out and Alex looked at him.
"Maybe there is." Alex told him and Max looked at him, curious.
There was two agents standing on the other side of the mirror of where Liz was pacing the room, they could see that she was getting annoyed and scared of what was happening to her.
"When can we get some fun with her?" the second male asked and the first male looked at him, his bright blue eyes lightening up in amusement.
"You really are that desperate to have fun with her." He stated and the male nodded.
"Hell yeah, a sweet thing like that, I bet she is tight." He growled out, almost drooling and the male nodded.
"Have fun." The first male stated and the other man stepped out of the room and headed over to the room where Liz was in.
Liz heard a clicking noise and turned to see a tall man with dark eyes and blonde hair stepped into the room, he was looking at her like she was a piece of meat and she had a bad feeling.
Alex stepped into Michael's apartment, he had told Max to go to Max's house and wait there, he needed to grab his lap top that he had left at Michael's apartment, he was going to try and see if he could break into F.B.I information and see if they had kidnapped anyone.
The gang looked up.
"Hey, did you find out what was going on with my crazy brother?" Isabel teased and Alex shook his head.
"If you had listened to the phone call and came home earlier, we would be a lot more further on progress right now." He snapped and Maria stood up.
"Alex, you're scaring me." She whispered and Alex turned to her.
"I'm scaring you? What? Max's phone call wasn't scary enough for you?" he demanded and Michael stepped up.
"What the hell is up with you?" he demanded and Alex grabbed his laptop and turned to them.
"It looks like the F.B.I has Liz and Tammy." He told them and Isabel shot up from her seat while Maria's hand went to her mouth.
"I need to see Max." Isabel stated and Alex stood in her way.
"Stay away from him, he doesn't need your comfort, he needs Liz and Tammy by his side." Alex told them and moved over to the door. "I mean it, I don't want you anywhere near Max till we get Liz and Tammy back." He told them and left the apartment.
Maria shook her head.
"No way, my best friend is in the hands of those monsters, I'm not gonna sit back and do nothing." She stated and stormed out of the apartment when Alex suddenly appeared.
"I mean it Maria, Stay. Away." He told her and walked off, shaking his head, he knew that he was being mean but he couldn't help but think if they only just took Max's phone call seriously, Liz might be home and safe with them.
The guy leered as he moved over to her.
"I'm gonna have a lot of fun breaking you in." he stated and she took a step back.
"Don't even think about it." She hissed and he smirked.
"Oh, I'm gonna do more than think about it." He hissed back as he grabbed her, she threw her hands up and all of a sudden green light started flashing through her fingers, the agent screamed as he was flung backward, the wall burst open from the pressure of the body and the power, there was some more screaming as the agents, who were standing outside the room.
"Oh my god…" Liz whispered as she looked at her hands before looking at the wall once more, she shuddered at seeing the dead bodies before steeling her emotions when she felt Tammy's annoyance through their link.
She climbed through the hole and used the link to lead her to Tammy. She wove her way through the maze of the base; she shook her head; she couldn't believe that she had powers.
Tammy was getting annoyed, she didn't like the doctors that was trying to prod her with all those cold metal instruments, she kept zapping them whenever they came near her, she thought it was quite funny that they would yelp and jump away only to get a shouting from the strange man in black.
"Come on sweetie, we just need your blood." The doctor stated and Tammy wrinkled her nose.
"Take your own blood." She told him before zapping him once more, getting him between the legs, he gasped as he knelt over before crawling away from her and she nodded, satisfied when the door blew up and the men went flying backward, they hit the wall with their back before slumping onto the ground.
Tammy turned and smiled when she saw Liz. "Lizzie." She greeted as she ran over to her and lifted her hand, wanting to be held.
"Come on adorable, we need to get out of here." Liz whispered as she picked up Tammy and made her way back through the hallway once more, hoping to god that there were going to be exit really soon other wise they were going to get captured once more.
Liz sighed with relief when she caught the exit door, with a quick look around she saw that there was no one coming and bolted toward it, Tammy waved her hand and the door unlocked and Liz pushed it open.
She made it into the garage and looked around, she saw a car and hurried toward it, she pulled on the handle before growling in frustration that it wouldn't open, Tammy smiled as she placed her hand on the side of the door, popping the door open, Liz smiled as she opened the door and helped Tammy in before closing the door and Tammy waved her hand over the ignition, the car started up and Liz put it into the pedal, getting the hell out of the base as soon as possible, keeping one eye on the mirror to make sure that no one was following them.
Max raked his hand through hair, he couldn't retain a focus on his link with either Tammy or Liz, it was like something was blocking it and was making him frustrated, he was the one who could save Liz and Tammy and he was being blocked from doing it!
Max looked out of the window and gasped when he saw Liz running up the pathway with Tammy in her arms, he bolted out of the door and stopped a few steps away from Liz.
"Liz?" Max asked, she had a smudge of dirt across her cheek, her hair was now a mess and she had cuts and bruises but to him, she hadn't look more beautiful.
Liz felt her eyes well up with tears of happiness; he had come. She ran toward him as he hurried toward her and enveloped her in a hug. "It's okay, you're safe." He whispered over and over again as he kissed the side of her head, running his hands through her dark locks, just holding her close to him.
Liz pulled away and cupped his face before pulling him down for a kiss, he clutched her hard to time as he kissed her, he had been so scared, he thought he wasn't going to see her again, he cupped the back of her head, just holding her lips to his, breathing in that she was right there in his arms, safe.
"God I love you so much." Max whispered when he pulled away to give them both some air.
"I love you too." She whispered back before kissing him again.
Liz stood to the side and Tammy ran up, she wrapped her arms around Max's legs; Max bent down and picked her up.
"Are you okay?" Max asked and Tammy nodded.
"Fine, just tired." She whispered as she laid her head down on Max's shoulder, Max just pulled Liz back into his embrace and helped them into the house before whisking them toward his room, still upset with the gang.
Alex just nodded with relief that his best friend was back and safe with them, he saw that Maria was going to say something about not being able to see Liz.
"Forget it Maria, don't even say a thing, Liz needs Max more than she needs you right now." Alex warned her before stepping into the living room to watch the T.V.
After a while, Max and Liz came out of the room, Maria went to hug Liz but stopped when she saw Liz holding onto Max like her life depended on it, she also saw that Max was doing the same thing, they headed into the kitchen.
"Where's Tammy?" Michael asked and Max looked at him, startled, forgetting that they were there.
"Oh, she's sleeping, using her powers kinda wore her out." Max stated before turning back to Liz and Liz looked up at him.
"I have powers Max." Liz whispered and Max looked down at her as everyone else looked at her.
"What?" Max asked and Liz closed her eyes.
"There was this agent, he came into the room; he was going to…" Liz trailed off and Max's eyes widen in understanding.
"He didn't," he asked and she shook her head.
"No, he never had the chance, my hands shot up and there was green sparks coming from them, Max, he went flying through the wall and I killed a few more people, ones that were standing outside the room." Liz told him and Max pulled her into a hug.
"You didn't have a choice." He whispered as he held her close, he could see that Michael and Isabel were itching to ask more questions and he glared at them, telling them to keep quiet and not to upset Liz any more. "Everything will be okay, I promise." Max whispered as he held her close and she nodded as she buried her face into his chest.
"Damn it, the plan didn't work." Tess muttered as she paced the room and Ed sighed.
"Looks like we're just gonna have to go to plan B." he told her and she sighed as she turned to face the star filled star again.
