Part 35
Liz watched as Max was loaded into the ambulance. The doors closed and it drove away. She just let Serena hold her. Then she heard a high pitched voice yelling.
"LET GO OF ME YOU BIG APE!"
Liz turned to see Michael holding Tess tightly. At their feet was a gun. Liz pulled away from Serena and went over to Tess.
"You bitch! What the hell do you think you are doing!" said Liz
"It was you that I was trying to shoot you fucking lying slut!" Yelled Tess
Just then sheriff Valenti walked over to them. Liz saw Brian and another deputy right behind him.
"Someone want to tell me what is going on?" Asked Valenti
"Sheriff Tess was trying to shoot Liz. But she missed and hit Max Evans instead." Said Michael
"Dad, Tess just confessed in front of everyone that she was trying to shoot Liz. She blames Liz for her dad losing his job." Said Kyle
"Sheriff, everyone I talked to said the same thing as these boys." Said Brian
"Hanson place Miss Harding under arrest and bag that gun." Said Valenti
Brian put on a pair of gloves and picked up the gun and placed it in a bag. Tess was then lead away to one of the sheriff department SUVs.
"Liz are you OK?" Asked Valenti noticing the blood on her.
"I wasn't hurt. This is Max's blood." Said Liz
"OK. I we need to get statements from everyone." Said Valenti
"Dad, can we do that later? Liz is really upset. I think I should take her to the hospital. Maybe have a doctor look at her to make sure she is OK, and see if we can find out about Max." Said Kyle
"Go a head. You have your car?" Asked Valenti
"No but I picked up Max's keys off the ground."
"Ok. Take the girls. Either Larson or I will be by to get your statements."
Kyle nodded then he and Serena led Liz back to the jeep and drove to the hospital. They walked into the emergency room waiting room to find Isabel and her patents already there. Isabel took one look at Liz and went over to hug her.
"You ok Liz?" Asked Isabel
"Yeah. The blood is Max's" said Liz
"Kyle any idea who did this?"
"Oh yeah. Seems Tess went off the deep end and was trying to shoot Liz. But hit Max instead." Said Kyle
"They caught her?"
"Yeah Michael Guerin saw her and restrained her until the police showed up." Said Serena
"Any word on Max?" Asked Liz
"No honey. Are you sure you are OK?" Said Diane
"Just worried about Max." Said Liz
"You really care about my son don't you Liz?" Asked Diane
"Mrs. Evans, your son has done something that I never thought possible. He opened my heart to something that I had given up on after my mom died." Said Liz
"What is that?" Asked Diane
"Love. I love him. I don't know when it happened. But it did." Said Liz
Diane pulled Liz into a hug. Just then a doctor came out.
"Mr. and Mrs. Evans?"
"How is he doctor?" Asked Philip
The doctor looked around and saw the four teens there.
"It's OK doctor. It's just our daughter and their friends." Said Diane
"Max is going to be fine. The bullet went through clean. He won't have much use of his shoulder for a while but will be fine. I want to keep him over night just to be safe." Said the doctor.
"Can we see him?" Asked Isabe!
"For a few minutes. He is asking for someone named Liz."
"I'm Liz." Said Liz
"Go on back honey." Said Diane
Liz followed the doctor to the back.
