Good Aliens or Bad Aliens
Chapter 2: Interrogations
Max woke up, in a chair in another gray room, and his hands were tied behind his back, "Where's Liz?"
"She's being taken care of in the next room."
"If you hurt her..."
"Don't worry, you two care about each other a lot, don't you?"
Max looked unsure about the question, but answered it, "Yeah, we do, so what?"
"Well of all the Aliens I've met, if they care for another, they are probably of the good variety."
"What are you talking about?"
Jack nodded, here was a kid, who had probably grown up scared about what would happen if anyone found out about him. He was probably right to be cautious, god knows what would happen if the NID got ahold of him, "All right then, what were you doing breaking into a military base?"
The boy remained silent. "Max, I understand that if I want your honesty, I should give it first. The program in this facility is highly secrative, and very important, but I am on your side. I've read what our people found out about you and Liz. Model students, never been in trouble, from the Alien capital of the world. Why come to Colorado Springs to break into a military base?" After a moment's silence, "Max, I'm on your side, remember that," with that Jack left the room to let Max think.

Liz woke up, to find a blond woman stairing at her, "there you are, sorry about that, we had to stop you from doing more damage, the Marine you knocked out is still uncontious, but Dr. Frasier said that he'll be all right. Now, what are you doing, breaking into a military base?"
Liz stared at her lap. "We know about Max, that he is not entirely human, we saw his blood cells, but that doesn't explain how you did what you did." Sam pushed play on the VCR, and Liz saw herself on the screen, showing herself blast the Marine guard into the wall.
Liz looked up, a determining look on her eyes, "You caught me, what are you going to do, stick me in a white room, torture me until you get exactly what you want?"
Sam was shocked, "No! We want to find out who you are and if you are a threat to National Security, but we would never resort to that, we would never let it happen."
"Too late." Liz mumbled, and then realized that she had nothing left to loose, "Do you remember the C-Span broadcast last year? About the Unauthorized spending in the Special Unit of the FBI?"
"Vaguelly."
"Well the 'Special Unit' hunted down Max, my boyfriend, and stuck him in a white padded room, drugged him, tortured him, and would have killed him if we hadn't gotten him out of there. The pecial unit, they were Alien Hunters."

Back in the briefing room, Colonal Jack O'Neill and Major Sam Carter were telling the CO what they had found out, Sam started, "Sir, I believe that they are not a risk to the base. Yes, they seem to have some strange abilities, but there seems to be something driving them. Some mission. And it's personal. But I don't think that they will tell us what that is without some serious convincing. The girl, Liz, told me that the FBI that was fired for Unauthorized spending last year, were Alien Hunters, and had kidnapped and tortured the boy, Max."
Jack nodded, "Makes sense. Max was very tight lipped, and looked like he was bracing himself for something bad to happen. I think that we should contact the Asguard and the Tokra to find out what they know about these kids in Roswell. It can't be a coincidence that you have this half alien kid from the same town where supposidly a flying sawser crash landed in 1947. I'll bet that that was the Asguard. I want to find the truth, maybe we can help these kids. They seem so scared."
Hammond nodded, "I'll take that under advisement, We'll contact the Asguard and the Tokra."
Sam nodded and then added, "Sir, perhaps as a sign of good faith, we let the kids see each other, at least for a while."
Hammond nodded, "All right, but I want two guards in there with them at all times."
"Yes Sir."

Liz looked up to see the door open, and there standing in front of her was, "Max!"
"Liz!" Liz jumped up and flew into Max's arms.
"I was so scared, are you alright?" Liz said, feeling his chest and back for any cuts or bruses.
"I'm fine, It seems that these Air Forse people have a different way to deal with intruders than the FBI."
"Yes we do." They turned to see Colonel O'Neill walking in, "I just want to let you know that you are not the first Aliens that we have ever encountered. However, you are the first Aliens that we have found that not only live on earth, but grew up here. I want to let you know that the knowledge of you has not gone beyond a select few. And that if you will trust us, perhaps we can help you with whatever your so afraid of." Without waiting for an answer, he left, to let them think over what he just said.
