1 Hour Later: New York City

Dr.Marc Hassell was sitting at his desk in his office. He was grading term papers when there was a knock on the door. He told them to come in, but he didn't expect Allie Stevenson to let herself in his office and shut the door. He smiled, because he knew how stupid the girl was.

"I'm surprised that you're here, Miss. Stevenson. I didn't think that you would ever show up here again."

"You have some nerve attacking me" Allie said as he walked towards the desk "And you would think I'd hide from you when I'm doing the exact opposite."

"That seems very noble of you, but I wouldn't think that coming here was the smartest thing to do" he said. He was about to search in his desk for his gun, but Allie beat him to it. She ran over to him, took out of the knife and held it against his neck.

"Revenge can be very sweet" Allie hissed "You killed an innocent man that was trying to save me and you almost killed me. Too bad you never had the chance, but I do."

"Allison, don't do anything stupid" Marc said quietly

"Are you saying that what I'm doing is a stupid move? No, I don't think so. I think this is the best thing I've done in awhile."

Allie was about to have the knife glide and cut his neck to kill him when Mary and Marshall broke down the door. Both of them had guns in their hands when they expected the worst, but they expected the man to be close to killing Allie and not the other way around.

"Are you just as confused as I am, Mary?"

"No kidding."

"The both of you get out of this office now!" Allie screamed "Or I'll make sure that I slit his neck and make him dead!"

"There's no chance in that happening" Mary said as she walked a few steps closer "Even if we left the room, you would kill him. Now put the knife down and let him go."

"Leave the room, Marshalls!" Allie screamed even louder "Because as soon as I kill this man, you're next."

No one expected Marshall to fire his gun. The bullet was a few feet above Allie's head and Marshall only wanted to scare the young woman. She let go of the knife and fell to the floor. She thought that she was shot and started screaming. Marshall went over to Marc Hassell and handcuffed him while Mary went to Allie.

"Marc Hassell, you are finally under arrest to the murder of Mr. David Machel. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law..."

Marshall dragged Marc out of the room while Mary helped Allie up from the floor.

"Allie, what the hell were you thinking?" Mary asked in an aggravated tone "You could have been killed or killed someone!"

"I might have been in danger, but this situation was worth it."

2 Days later: Albuquerque, NM

"Do you realize that you can never go back to New York?"

Mary was talking to Allie and made sure that her witness understood what type of situation she was in.

"No, I don't" Allie snapped "Once again; I am stuck here in this stupid state. I want to go home."

"Allie, you need to realize that you can never go home! You can never contact Valerie or anyone in your past life! I'm surprised that I don't need to relocate you and have someone else give you a new identity!"

"You don't understand" Allie said "I need constant attention and I need someone I can trust. Valerie was the only one who did that since our parents died in a ship wreck a year ago. Ever since that incident, I have been severely depressed and needed to see a therapist. Valerie and I, we were there for each other when times were rough. And you expect me to give that all away?"

"Allie, I may not understand the situation you were in, but I know that Valerie is upset at you for going back to New York and trying to kill your professor" Mary said in a gentle tone "The last time I checked, she was the one who put you in the program."

"Yes, but I want to take myself out."

"You can't be serious..."

Allie gave Mary a serious look, and she knew that Allie wanted what she wanted most;to go home.

"Allie..."

"You can't change my mind. I'm not in danger anymore, so what's the point of coming back here?"

"If you go back there, they might charge you for attempted murder" Mary yelled "Do you really want to go back and sit in jail for a few years?"

"They'll never find me. They didn't find Marc Hassell until I went and tried to kill him" Allie explained "I can hide myself from that society...I know I can. You just don't believe me."

Mary sighed and looked at Allie. She knew that the eighteen year old was right; they didn't find Marc Hassell until Allie went back to New York. And Mary knew that she couldn't keep Allie in the program against her will.

"Fine, if you want to go back home and rot in jail, be my guest."

"They won't find me and you know it."

7 hours later: Albuquerque, NM

Mary watched the airplane take off and head to New York City. She wasn't going to miss her crazy witness one bit, but she did hope that Allie understood the consequences of her actions for going back home. Marshall tapped her on the shoulder and stood next to her.

"Aren't you glad she's gone?" he asked with a smile on her face.

"She has to be the most difficult witness I ever had to deal with" Mary replied as both of them turned around and started to walk out of the airport.

"Do you think she's going to get caught and be arrested?"

"Who knows? I do know that Allison Stevenson knows what she wants, and she'll do anything to get it. And that means that she'd risk everything to go back home and be with her sister. I know for a fact that I could never do that."

"That's because you don't know what you want sometimes."

Mary punched him in the shoulder and wasn't amused by Marshall's comment.

"Come on, I'm hungry and I need to get home."

They walked to Mary's car, and on their way there Marshall was clutching the spot where Mary punched him. He could never find out why Mary was so serious all the time, but then he forgot to think about it as he got in Mary's car.
