Part 14

A surveillance van parked across from Lombardi’s Restaurant in Alamogordo. Agent Burns walked from his car and entered the restaurant.

“How many in your party?” asked the hostess.

Agent Burns looked at his watch, which read 6:50. “Actually, I don’t think the rest of my party has arrived yet. Would you mind very much if I waited here for them?” he answered, stalling for time.

“Oh no sir, not at all,” replied the hostess. “Would you care to give me their names, I can check to see if they already arrived?”

“It would either be under Valenti, Evans or Parker,” answered the agent. “My wife usually makes all the arrangements when we all get together, but she’s out of town, and I’m kind of hopeless.”

“That’s all right, sir,” said the hostess. “It happens all the time.” She checked the seating chart. “You are right sir, they haven’t arrived yet, but I’m sure they’ll be along any minute. We do have a reservation for Evans at 7:00 pm.”

The phone at the hostess station rang and the hostess answered while Agent Burns tried to listen to her conversation without being obvious.

“Lombardi’s Fine Italian Restaurant. How may I help you? Oh, good evening Mr. Evans. You want to cancel your reservation? No, that won’t be a problem. I do hope nothing is wrong. Ok, fine, I’ll explain to the rest of your party. Good evening Mr. Evans.”

The hostess turned toward the FBI agent. “That was Mr. Evans on the phone, he called to cancel his reservations for tonight. But he did ask me to give you a message. He said to tell you that family comes first, and that you’d know what he means.”

“Yes, I know exactly what he means,” said the agent. He spun around and stormed out of the restaurant. He headed over to the surveillance van and climbed inside. “We were set up, they’re on to us!”

At a small diner on the outskirts of East Grand Plains, Philip Evans disconnected his cell phone and turned towards the others. “I think it worked. I know for a fact Diane and I weren’t followed out here.”

“No, neither were Amy and I,” says Jim

“I don’t think we were either,” says Geoff. “Well, now that we’re here, what do we do?”

“I think one of the first things we should do is check our homes for electronic bugs, and try and use cell phones whenever possible.”

“Jim, what about our kids? Are they going to be ok,” asked Amy.

“I’m sure they will. They are very smart kids, and they’ve managed to survive with this secret for a long time,” said the former sheriff, playing with a straw.

“God, how can you just sit there so calmly?” shouted Amy. “You knew about this for 3 years, and you never bothered to tell us what was going on with them.”

“Don’t you think I tried,” said Jim. “I begged them to tell you, but they were so afraid of what you’d think of them if you knew. It wasn’t my secret to tell. I’m sorry if that bothers you, but that’s just how it had to be.”

“Jesus Amy, calm down,” hissed Nancy. “We’ve been through all of this countless times. He couldn’t tell us, it was too dangerous, plus, would you have believed your daughter was dating an um a Czechoslovakian?”

Amy DeLucca calmed down almost as quickly as she flared up. “I know, it’s just so hard, I didn’t get to say good bye to my baby.”

“None of us really did,” said Diane reacing across the table to take Amy’s hand. “But you know Maria loves Michael, and that all of them will do whatever it takes to protect each other.”

A waitress approached the table and placed glasses of water in front of each person. “I’ll be right back to take your order,” she said before she walks away.

“I’m glad she brought this,” said Jim picking up the glass full of icy water. It’s hot in here.” He brought the glass towards his mouth, but as he did, the water in the glass began to bubble and spill over the edge. “Damn, that water is hot!” shouted Jim.

“No, it’s not Jim, I think you made it hot,” whispered Geoff. “You said Max healed you, right. Well, what happened to Lizzie after he saved her? And why did Kyle leave? I think you are starting to change.”

OHHHHH! Yeah! this is getting good! Glad to see that your Muse is back! But please continue! Must know what happens now that Jim made his water boil. But why is he able to do that? I mean it took Liz 3 years to start showing her powers or were the flashes that she got from Max a form of her powers? What are the parents going to do about Agent Burns and the other FBI people? Where are Max and Isabel in reference to Liz, Kyle and Michael? Where is Maria? Oh my so many questions and i can't wait for the answers! So please continue soon.

Part 15

The man behind the counter slowly lowered his hand, but looked doubtful. “Liz, I don’t know anyone named Liz,” he said.

“Bull,” said Liz, “And I can prove it.”

“You want to prove to me that I do know you, go ahead, the more time I waste out here talking to you, the longer it takes to fix your bike,” said the man. He folded his arms across his chest and leaned against a desk.

“Ok,” said Liz. “All hail the Christmas Nazi. Candy Cane the Elf reporting for duty Santa! Where is Snowflake, Santa, is she ok?”

Michael vaulted over the counter and grabbed Liz in a hug.

“Holy Shit Liz, what are you doing here? Where’s Maxwell?” he asked looking around.

“Michael. Michael, you’re crushing me!” said Liz gasping for breath.

“What? Oh, sorry,” said an unrepentant Michael as he released her.

Liz took a deep breath. “Michael, Max isn’t here, we got separated. I’m here with Kyle, and there is just so much to tell you. I don’t even know how to start.”

Just then, the door burst open and Kyle came running in and tackled Michael.

“Run! Run, I’ve got him, get out of here, now!”

Liz started to laugh hysterically, tears streaming down her face.

“Damn it Valenti, will you get the hell off of me!” shouted Michael.

“Kyle, stop,” Liz gasped between bursts of laughter. “That’s Michael Kyle, it’s Michael! You can let him up.”

“Michael? Really? Damn, I’m sorry man, I didn’t know,” said Kyle, standing up.

“You’re not supposed to, that’s part of the whole separating and hiding thing, remember?” grunted Michael, pulling himself up off of the floor.

“Yeah, that’s Michael, sarcastic as ever,” said Kyle.

“What the hell are you doing here anyhow, and where are Max and Isabelle?” demanded Michael.

“Look Michael, it’s a long story, is there someplace that’s safe to talk? And where’s Maria, she needs to be here to,” said Liz, looking around the dingy bike shop.

“Maria’s working at a daycare over on Main St.,” explained Michael. “She gets off in about an hour. Look, let me close up here and we can head over there together.”

“Wait, what about my bike?” questioned Kyle.

“[I[Your[/I] bike? I should have known with the picture of Buddha on it,” said Michael. “We can come back here after we get Maria and some food and I’ll fix it then.”

Michael closed up the shop and led the others over to the daycare where Maria worked. The sound of children laughing and shouting filled the air, as they get closer to the playground. Michael leaned against the fence and looked for Maria.

“There she is, over there, the one with the short curly black hair,” he said, pointing.

Maria spied Michael against the fence and waved to him. She started to approach him cautiously, a questioning look on her face.

“Hi Mariah,” said Michael, a relaxed smile on his face. “My cousins from Nebraska stopped by on their way through town. You remember me mentioning them. Grasshopper, Candy Cane, this is Mariah.”

Maria put her hands over her mouth to prevent the screams from escaping. “Oh my God! Oh my God, it is SO good to see you. When did you get here? Can you stay long?” she squealed.

“Look Mariah, why don’t you see if you can escape early, and we’ll go grab something to eat. We have a lot to catch up on,” suggested Michael. “These guys have a lot of family stuff to catch us up on.”

Maria ran across the playground to another one of the adults and began to speak. The others were unable to hear what she was saying, but were able to see that her arms were flying about in a million different directions.

“Well, it’s good to see some things never change,” said Liz with a small grin as Maria disappeared inside of the building. She emerged a few minutes later carrying her coat and a backpack.

“Girlfriend, I am so happy to see you,” whispered Maria to Liz. “And you Buddha Boy, come here and give me a hug!”

The friends hugged briefly then headed out to get some food and return to Michael’s bike shop. They sat around eating while Liz and Kyle filled them in on all that had happened.

They decided that Kyle and Liz would camp out in the bike shop, for the night, and in the morning, Michael and Maria would pick them up and they could all head to Disney Land together. Liz and Kyle walked through the back of the shop with Michael and Maria so that they can lock up after they left. Maria paused at the door to hug Liz one more time.

“Chica, I wish you could come home with us,” she said

“Me too, but this is safer, for everyone,” said Liz. The two girls hugged goodbye while Michael and Kyle stood outside the door making plans for tomorrow. Suddenly, and explosion rocked the building.

Part 16

The warm California sun beat down on the pavement; throwing heat back up and making Max and Isabelle feel as though they were in an oven.

“I’m telling you Max, if I have to listen to It’s a Small World one more time, I am going to scream,” said Isabelle as she lifted her long black hair the back of her neck. “Why did you and Liz pick such a stupid place to meet anyhow? What’s wrong with a nice air conditioned hotel or something?”

“Because it’s out in the open, and there are plenty of people around so that we can just blend in with the crowd. It’s also a very romantic spot,” he whispered under his breath as he turned away.

“What was that Max, I didn’t quite catch what you said,” laughed Isabelle. “Did you say it’s a romantic spot?”

“Shut up Isabelle, and keep your eyes peeled. We don’t know what they’re going to look like.”

“Look Max, we’ve been here since this stupid park opened, can’t we go get something to eat and get in the shade for a while?”

“I don’t want to miss them when the get here Isabelle?” said Max.

“Look, I told you if Kyle’s near by, I’m going to know it, NOW can we go get something cold to drink?”

“How reliable is this power of Kyle’s?” asks Max. “None of us have ever been able to communicate nonverbally, why should he?”

“I don’t know Max, but I do know if you don’t go get me a water, I’m going to scream,” snapped Isabelle.

“Fine, fine, there’s an ice cream place across from the carousel, we can go there and still keep an eye on things,” said Max, angrily. “Anything to keep you happy.”

“Thanks Max, you’re so loving and giving and generous in your nature,” said Isabelle in a saccharine voice.

After getting their drinks, Isabelle managed to convince Max that it would be ok for them to walk around the park. They explored the different areas, always returning back to the carousel to check for Liz and Kyle. As night fell, Max began to get discouraged.

“They should be here by now Iz. Something must have gone wrong,” Max said with fear in his voice. Behind him, fireworks light up the night sky.

“Max, I think you’re worrying about nothing. I’m sure they just got delayed and they’ll here soon. But, I don’t think it’s going to be tonight. Now come on, let’s go ride on Space Mountain. That will shake you right out of this funk you’re in.”

Max agreed, and the two waited for their turn on the ride. When their turn finally arrived, they climbed into the faux rocket ships and were strapped into their seats, and the ride began its ascent up into the inky darkness. The ride began its twisting and turning descent through the darkness, and Max head screams coming from behind him.

Laughing out loud he shouted back to his sister, “I guess this was a good idea. Having fun Isabelle?”

The ride came to an end and the pair climbed out of the car. Max reached back to help Isabelle and was shocked to see that she was in tears.

“Isabelle, what is it? Come on, it was only a ride.”

“No Max, not the ride. It’s Kyle. I can’t feel him anymore. I heard him scream out in pain, and then there was silence.”

Part 17

“Damn,” said Jim. “I wish this wasn’t happening now. I can’t believe it happening now. I don’t understand WHY it’s happening now. Liz’s powers didn’t show up for almost 2 years according to her, and Kyle’s hadn’t even begun to manifest themselves before they left. Why me, and why now?”

“I don’t know Jim, but maybe age has something to do with it,” answered Philip. “In any event, do you have any ideas about what is going to happen to you?”

“No. In the beginning, Max didn’t realize this would be a side effect of his saving anybody. Let me think, the first time Liz’s abilities showed up was when Max and Tess were in New York.”

“That’s right,” said Geoff. “Liz wrote something about astrally projecting to warn Max of danger. Well Jim, have any good out of body experiences lately?”

Everyone at the table laughed and the tension eased a bit. The waitress approached and the group placed their orders and waited for her to depart before they continued their conversation.

“As I see it, we have several issues we need to focus on,” said Philip. “The FBI is on our tail, and my own son-in-law is apparently one of them. We also have Jim’s new, ah, gifts, to cope with. Anybody have any ideas about how to proceed?”

“Jim, did Max, or Isabelle or Michael ever talk about what they did to develop their powers?” asks Amy

“A little, but not much. Why?” asked Jim.

“Well, it just seems to me that you would want to develop these things,” answered Amy. “You never know when you may need to use them.”

“Amy’s right Jim,” said Nancy. “It doesn’t look like the danger has disappeared from our lives.”

“I just can’t believe the kids left to protect us, and it was for nothing. I mean, here we are being tailed by the FBI,” said Diane Evans. “The kids should have just stayed here.”

“Honey, they thought they were doing the right thing,” said Philip. “They were trying to protect us, as well as themselves.”

“And their still trying to protect us by letting us know about Jesse,” added Geoff. He stopped talking as a horrific thought occurred to him. “You don’t think they’ll try and come home because of Jesse, do you?”

“God, I hope not,” said Philip cradling his head in his hands. “We have to go out of our way to not let Jesse know we are onto him.”

“Well, it’s a little bit late for that after the game of cloak and daggers we played with the FBI today,” said Nancy.

“Damn, that’s right. We’ll have to figure out some way to do damage control,” said Philip. “Anybody have any ideas?”

The three couples remained silent as the waitress brought their meals to the table. They all picked at their food as they tried to figure out some way to justify their change of plans to the FBI.

“Oh, oh, I have an idea,” said Amy in an excited voice. “My nephew Sean just got arrested again. Suppose, just suppose, I approached Jim to be his lawyer, and that’s what we were doing tonight instead of going out to dinner.”

“That might work,” mused Geoff. “But what about the message we had the hostess give the agent?”

“Well, we didn’t say specifically who that message was for, it could have been for you and Nancy,” said Philip. “Yeah, in fact, I’m betting you anything that our friendly FBI agents will be in the CrashDown tomorrow. Both Jim and I will have to make a point of stopping by to make sure you got the message I left for you at Lombardi’s.”

“You know, it just might work,” Nancy added thoughtfully “And Amy, I really think you Diane and I need to have coffee at the CrashDown tomorrow so you can tell us all about the problems your nephew is having.”

They finished up their meals quickly and made plans to head back to Roswell. Geoff and Nancy decided to drive down to Alamogordo, and head into town that way, just in case the FBI was watching them. They three couples walked out to the parking lot of the diner and prepared to get into their cars.

“I really think you all need to consider the fact that our kids will be coming home,” said Jim. “I know they’re your children, and you think you know them best, but I’ve seen how they work in dangerous situations. Taking care of the ones they love is what matters to them. If they think we’re in danger, they’re going to come home.”

“Jim, I hope you are wrong, but it’s something we have to be prepared to deal with,” said Geoff. “First, lets appease the FBI, and then we’ll start planning for a possible homecoming.”

Oh boy...I'm glad the parents are concerned and are willing to do their part to help! So Jim is going to start to develop his powers?

Part 18

Liz made the slow climb back to consciousness, only to find the motorcycle shop engulfed in flames.

“Maria!” she screamed. “Maria, where are you?” She searched throughout the back of the bike shop but was unable to locate her friend.

“Maria!” she screamed one final time, but there was no answer.

Coughing from the smoke, as well as the tears she was holding back, Liz paused for a moment to get her bearings. The heat from the fire grew more intense, and the flames drew closer. A large beam fell from the ceiling consumed by flames. She spied Kyle’s motorcycle, not yet touched by the raging flames. Next to it she saw their bags.

Liz ran to the bike and hopped on, praying that Michael managed to get it running enough to get her out of the burning building. She grabbed their bags, climbed on the bike, pressed the starter and it miraculously roared to life. She roared through the back of the shop, and out the rear door, which had been blown loose from the explosion.

In the back alley, she jumped off the bike and looks around. Lying unconscious next to the door was Maria. Liz thanked God as she ran to her friend.

I guess the explosion was strong enough to blow her out the door, she thought to herself as she pulled Maria away from the burning building.

She saw Kyle and Michael lying in a heap, across the alleyway. Oh damn, I wish I had healing powers like Max, she thought. That would make all of this so much easier. A groan from Kyle sent Liz back across the alley.

“Kyle, Kyle, wake up, can you hear me?” she shouted.

“I hear you, I hear you,” he groaned. “What the hell happened? Did the world get invaded or something?”

“The building exploded. Kyle, we have to get Maria and Michael out of here before the police and fire department get here.”

Even as Liz spoke, the sounds of sirens filled the air. Kyle crawled over to Michael and tapped him lightly on the face.

“Michael, Michael, buddy, come on, snap out of it.” Kyle turned to look at Liz. “He better not need mouth to mouth, because I draw the line at kissing him.”

“Kiss me, and I will kill you,” said Michael as he tried to sit up. “Where’s Maria? Is she ok?”

“She’s over there Michael, but she’s still unconscious. We have to get her out of here,” said Liz.

Michael dug around in his pocket and passed a set of keys to Kyle.

“You guys get her to our place. I’m going to stay here and try and figure out what happened.”

“Man, you can’t stay, the cops will be all over this place in a matter of minutes!” shouted Kyle.

“Look, don’t you think it will look more suspicious if I’m not here considering I own the stupid place! I’ll get home as soon as I can find out what’s going on. But get Maria and yourselves the hell out of here.”

Liz tossed Michael the keys to Kyle’s bike. “Here, ride this home. The three of us certainly can’t ride it now.”

“You saved my bike?” asked Kyle incredulously. “You went back in there for a damn motorcycle? Liz, are you insane?”

“Yes, I saved your bike, no, I didn’t go back in there for it, and no, I am not insane. I guess when the explosion occurred; I ended up being blown to the side of the shop. I was still inside when it happened, and I didn’t get blown clear like Maria did. When I woke up. I looked for Maria, but I couldn’t find her anywhere. So, I grabbed our bags, hopped on the bike and drove it out.”

“I think I love you,” said Kyle jokingly. “Now, how are we going to get Maria home?”

“Take my car,” said Michael, handing them some keys. “It’s that gray Honda across the street.”

“Let me bring it closer to the alley so we don’t have to carry Maria as far,” said Kyle as he starts to walk down the alley. I’ll be right back.”

Michael picked Maria up in his arms, and he and Liz walked down to the entrance of the alley.

“Liz, did you really stay in there looking for Maria?” he asked.

“Of course I did Michael, she’s my best friend,” she answered simply.

“You are the best thing that could have happened to any of us. Max did a good thing in saving you.”

“Michael, no, if he didn’t save me, none of this would be happening,” said Liz

“You can’t know that Liz. We were bound to get caught using our some time. This way, though, we have you on our side.”

Kyle pulled up beside them, and Michael opened the door of the Honda and carefully laid Maria on the back seat. Liz climbed in behind her and Michael shut the door.

“Go!” he shouted. “Here come the police.”

The car pulled away, just seconds before the police and fire department arrived. An officer climbs out of the car and approached Michael.

“Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to step back from the building. It isn’t safe.”

“I can’t believe this happened,” said Michael. “That’s my shop! I was driving by a few minutes ago, and I saw the flames. I went around back to see if I could get inside but the fire was too strong.”

“Well, it’s a good thing you didn’t try to get inside sir. Now, would there have been anyone else in the building?”

“No,” said Michael, trying to act distraught. “Um Officer, I parked my bike down in the alley. Do you think it would be ok if I went down there to get it?”

“I’ll escort you down there sir, just to make sure nothing happens, and then, I’ll need to ask you some questions for the report.”

“Ah, yeah, sure,” said Michael as he looked around. He felt a pounding in his chest when he looked across the street and saw a black sedan with four men sitting in it, staring at the fire, and at him.
