Chapter 11
Roswell Neighborhood
“Here’s fine.” Liz said opening her passenger side door forcing the man to pull over.
“Are you sure? I can take you to the police or the hospital.” The man suggested. Liz saw two soldiers crossing the street and she tried to leave as quickly as possible.
“No thank you. Thank you so much.” Liz said turning the corner running down the street and reaching the front entrance of the Crashdown. When she shook the door, she remembered it had been closed because of the house-to-house searches. Suddenly bright lights were coming in her direction, so she quickly hid on the side of the restaurant and watch the car pass by, but the realized it was Max’s Chevelle. “Max” She said to herself and then ran in the middle of the road. “Max!” She cried out waving her hands. She watched how the Chevelle came to a screeching halt and Max jumped out of the drivers seat as everyone else in the car turned to look back. At first Max looked stunned, but then Liz could make out a smile of relief spread across his face before he screamed her name.
“Liz!” He called out running to her as she ran to him still with her bad limp. When they collided in each other’s arms Max lifted Liz, who wrapped her legs around him and desperately joined her lips with his as tears streamed down both their faces. Liz’s hands ran through Max’s hair and then cupped his face to intensify their kiss. Maria and Isabel were crying tears of joy as they watched the two reunite, but Michael’s attention was brought to another car that was approaching slowly. Michael got out of the car to get a closer look and then he immediately remembered seeing the car at the Old Soap Factory and it wasn’t until he could make out the blonde curly hair passenger that triggered all his sensors that Max and Liz were in danger.
“Max!” Michael yelled, startling the four of them as he pointed franticly to the car that started to speed up. Max put Liz down and then looked back at Michael.
“Go!” Max yelled to Michael, and without further explanation, Michael hopped into the drivers seat and took off while Max ran off in the alley near by the Crashdown. “Come on, Liz.” Max encouraged trying to get her to run faster.
“I can’t. My knee.” Liz whimpered as she was being pulled by Max to keep up, they came up to a corner of the building the were running along side of and Max looked of the corner and then back to Liz who was crying in pain.
“Liz. Liz” Max called out for her to calm down as he cupped her face and brushed back the wild strands of hair back into place. “I promise you, the second we lose them, I’ll heal your knee. But right now I need you to run, Liz.” Max pleaded. Liz stopped crying and wiped her tears away from her face and then nodded to Max. Max held on tight to Liz’s hand and then leaned up against the wall when he saw the car passing by, he took that as a signal and kept running straight. “Liz we have to get to Kyle’s house so I can borrow his car.”
“Where are we going to go? Tess knows all our hide outs.” Liz questioned running behind Max as they headed towards the Valenti’s.
“She doesn’t know about the warehouse we used when we were spying on her.” Max said.
Buckely Point
“What are we going to do Michael?” Isabel asked pacing back and forth.
“We’re going to wait.” Michael suggested calmly as he leaned on the hood of the car.
“Wait?” Maria repeated in disbelief and aggravation. “Just wait? That’s your big plan, Michael? My best friend is out there…your best friend…and you just want us to sit her and wait?” Maria exclaimed.
“Maria, I know they’re both out there and there’s nothing I can do right now but wait until Max gets in touch with us.” Michael snapped back.
“Get in touch with you? With what? Alien pigeons?” Maria asked sarcastically.
“It’s not funny.” Michael replied.
“Do you see me laughing?” Maria answered.
“Okay, guys stop it.” Isabel demanded, irritated by all the back and forth bantering they were doing. “Maria, Michael’s right. No matter what, Max or Liz always managed to get in touch with us. Have faith in them.” Isabel pleaded.
“It’s all I have left.” Maria answered as she began to cry uncontrollably. Michael was taken back by her reaction and moved to comfort her in his arms.
“I’ll get them back, Maria. I promise.” Michael swore as he kissed her forehead and rocked Maria.
Valenti’s Garage
“There’s his car.” Max said pointing to the red Corvet that was parked beside Valenti’s trooper. Valenti had been driving around in his pick-up in order to not attract attention to the military lookouts if they spotted his trooper out side Jesse’s law office.
“Max, Tess is going to recognize this car.” Liz warned.
“She’ll recognize the trooper car even quicker.” Max answered.
“Not if you change it.” Liz suggested. Max nodded in agreement and placed his hand over the hood of the car making it change into a black trooper car without all the Sheriff decals and then touched the police lights and melted it down in a metallic form like he did with the gun in his car back in Utah.
“Let’s go.” Max said climbing in as Liz did the same.
