<center>Part 1 </center>

As Liz raced towards the tiny plane in the middle of the night, her heart hammered with fear and anticipation. Anticipation of her finally getting her answers and fear of maybe finally having to accept that her best friend was dead. Maybe this was why she was going on this wild goose chase – because the reality of the events that had taken place hadn’t sunk in yet. Maybe she needed some piece of evidence except seeing his dead body to realize that he was really gone, that he was not coming back.

Or maybe she wanted to believe in something, something that would help her deal with this once it finally dawned on her that Alex hadn’t been killed but had died in a normal car accident.

I guess that’s why I have been acting the way I have, because I don’t want to accept it. Liz thought. She needed something or someone to blame and found that to blame the aliens would be the most convenient and rational way to do so.

Liz had to laugh at herself as she thought about this. If believing that aliens had killed Alex was the only way she could make sense of this, then her life was really screwed up. Her laugh turned bitter when she contemplated all that they had had to go through.

We didn’t ask for any of this. None of us wanted to have such crazy, mixed up lives, not even Max, Michael or Isabel. She thought angrily.

Over the course of a year they had had to deal with distrust, the FBI, the Skins, Kivar, the dupes and now Alex’s death. It all seems too much to take in at times. At times she wondered how they’d made it through the year unscathed. But then as Liz looked up at the plane she realized that they didn’t come out unscathed. They’d all gotten scars that wouldn’t heal easily, and maybe they didn’t want them to either.

Maybe proving that Alex’s death wasn’t an accident wasn’t the only reason she was going to Sweden. Maybe it was one way of healing her scars. Maybe it’s the only way she could finally accept the truth.

Liz’s cell phone began to ring, jarring her out of her thoughts. She quickly pulled it out, expecting it to be Maria trying to reason with her once Max told her about her plan. But what she heard on the phone left her stunned. Liz had to focus her thoughts to be able to realize what the new information all meant.

Alex was really killed by an alien. She might not have believed it totally before but now she had no doubt about it. If the building never existed, then Alex didn’t really go to Sweden, which meant he was here all this time.

Liz shut off her phone in a daze after thanking the man. She turned around and headed back into the airport. It won’t do any good to go to Sweden now. Now she had to figure out what she had to do next and for the first time in the weeks, she had no idea what she should do.

She had been waiting for the perfect moment to reveal herself to the others. She had also been unsure about whom to trust this with. That’s why she had waited and watched. And as she watched Liz Parker standing there stunned after getting that phone call, she knew she could trust her with this secret.

She watched Liz head back to the terminal, her eyes glazed and in shock. There was also some underlying pain that she could see even from here. As she slipped past the guards and headed towards Liz, she was almost sorry she had to do this to her. Those kids, especially Liz, had been through so much already that to place on Liz’s shoulders one more burden hurt her but she knew there was no other way.

She slowed down her pace when she finally saw her. Her heart went out to her when she saw the state she was in. She was disheveled and she was crying uncontrollably, not even noticing the curious stares she was getting from the people milling about.

She was getting closer to her and she watched with concern as Liz hugged her backpack to herself, staring at the floor as she sobbed and cried. She wished she could try and soothe her but right now she had a job to complete. She could not offer the solace she needed…not yet anyway. Liz had to learn to trust her first. And at this point she didn’t think it would be an easy task.

<center>Part 3 </center>


It didn’t strike Liz what all of this meant until she had made it to the terminal and sat down on one of the chairs in the departure lounge. Once she had managed to sit down it finally came slamming down that Alex was killed by an alien. He had died because of the secrets he was keeping to protect them all.

It was with this thought that the tears had begun to flow. She didn’t care if she broke down in the middle of the airport with hundreds of people around her; she just needed to finally let it all out. Even though Liz was the one pressing to find evidence that aliens had killed Alex, she couldn’t believe how much she had been secretly hoping that she would be wrong. And to find out that she had been right all along…well it made her question whether all of this had been worth it. Whether it wouldn’t have been better to have died herself that day at the Crash Down than to have to go through this.

Liz knew she was being selfish, wanting to put her friends and family what she was going through now, while she escaped with death, but right now she didn’t want to think about anyone but herself. She felt responsible for all of this. She felt responsible for exposing the alien, for bringing the FBI on their tail…for Alex’s death.

What was she to do now? Who does she track down now? How does she get her mind off the truth now? Those were the questions to which Liz had no answer. She was basically lost. She couldn’t go back to her friends, as they didn’t believe her in the first place. Liz rocked herself back and forth, clutching her backpack in front of her, as if it would ward off all her pain. She was so deep in thought that she didn’t notice the woman when she came and stood before her.

“Liz Parker?” she asked softly.

Liz looked up slowly at the sound of her voice, wondering whom it was that knew her name. She looked up into the face of a pretty girl, a few years older than her. Her platinum blond hair fell sleekly past her shoulders and her eyes shone a brilliant green, that reminded Liz so much of Maria. Liz gasped slightly when she recognized her. Liz stood up, anger and confusion coursing through her.

“You!” Liz yelled, attracting a few people’s stares her way. “What are you doing here?”

“Liz, I have come to take you.” Leanna said softly. She held out her hand to her but Liz ignored it as she jumped back.

“How do you know who I am?” she asked sharply. “Did you get it out of Alex before you killed him?”

“Liz, you have to listen…” she began but Liz cut her off.

“Why?” she asked snidely. “So you can lure me into a trap and kill me too?”

“I did not kill Alex.” Leanna replied pleadingly.

“You expect me to believe you?” Liz asked, but she was a little taken aback by her pleading manner.

“Liz, I know I am the last person you think you should trust, but believe me I am here to help you.” Leanna replied. She held out her hand again. “Take my hand, Liz. We have to leave.”

Liz looked unsurely at her and then at her hand. She was confused. She didn’t know whether she should go with her or not. The only thing Liz knew for sure was that she didn’t trust her, not one bit. But if she had wanted to kill her she could have done so at any time.

Maybe she wants to go someplace where no one can find us. Liz thought. Liz bit her lip, sucking it. It was a nervous habit she had developed and which she I promised herself she would try and get rid off.

“Why are you here?” Liz asked finally.

Leanna looked distraught. She looked about the place and ran her hands through her hair. She looked back at Liz hesitantly.

“I can’t tell you…not yet anyway.” She replied.

“You really expect me to follow you to- to-wherever it is you want to take me?” Liz asked angrily. “How dumb do you think I am? I know what you did and what you want!”

Leanna looked at her with resignment, as if she knew that this would be the only way. “Alex is alive.” She whispered.

Liz grabbed on to hold on to something when she heard that. The room began to spin and her head felt as if it would explode. It couldn’t be! I saw him dead! I saw that car crash. I was there when they buried him. It could just not be true! Liz shook her head in silent denial.

“I saw him. I saw his coffin; I saw his body…” she whispered to Leanna, her eyes wide with denial and fright. “You’re lying! You’ll do anything to get me to come with you!” she spat out but tears were streaming down her face as she said that.

“I’m not lying. Alex is alive. He isn’t dead.” Leanna answered softly.

“How do you expect me to believe that?” Liz asked shakily. “Why should I believe that?”

“Because it’s the truth.” She replied with such conviction that Liz paused. She hurried on. “Please Liz… I know you don’t trust me but I am here to help you. You must come with me.” Leanna told her.

When she didn’t move Leanna touched her shoulder gently. She paused to see if Liz would jerk away but she didn’t. Her head was swimming with all the possibilities that Leanna’s news opened.

“I promise you that I am not lying. Alex is alive. At this moment there is only one thing you can do: trust me and come with me.”

Liz finally looked up into her eyes, her own eyes hard and unflinching. She looked at Leanna searchingly but coldly. Liz removed Leanna’s hand from her shoulder and stepped back. She picked up her backpack from the floor, having made up her mind.

“I see no other way to find out what happened than to go with you.” she replied stonily. Leanna began to smile but her next words put a stop to it. “But that doesn’t mean I trust you.”

Leanna nodded sadly before leading Liz out of the airport.

<center>Part 4 </center>

It had been more than twenty-four hours since they had left the airport and Liz still hasn’t spoken a word. She just looked out the window, occasionally getting lost in her thoughts before she realizes that Leanna was still here.

She’s still suspicious of me and I don’t blame her for that. Leanna thought sadly.

Leanna hadn’t wanted to reveal the truth about Alex so soon, she had wanted to wait until they were alone and she had managed to gain Liz’s trust but she knew once they had begun talking that there would be no other way to get Liz to come with her. She had expected Liz to be full of questions but she was so silent that Leanna wondered if she even understood what she had been told.

Leanna knew that once she broke out of this trance she would want answers and if she knew anything about Liz Parker it is that she will not rest until she had them all. To be truthful she was nervous about the questions Liz would ask. Leanna was not sure she would be able to answer them all. There were still some secrets, which she could not reveal. If she did then all her work would have been for nothing.

She felt Liz stirring again and briefly looked up from the road to find her looking at her curiously.

“What?” Leanna asked, a little uneasy by her staring.

“Why are you trying to help?” Liz asked. “You have nothing to do with this.”

“I thought you held me responsible.” Leanna reminded her with a small smile.

Liz shook her head thoughtfully. “But you aren’t now at least.” She replied. “I think.” She added unsurely after a pause.

Leanna laughed wryly at that. There was so much Liz didn’t know; so much she had to explain that she didn’t know where to begin. “That’s what you think…” she answered softly.

“What do you mean?” Liz asked confused.

Leanna shook her head. They couldn’t get into that conversation just yet. “Nothing.” Leanna replied, staring straight ahead as she continued to drive.

Liz looked at her for a second before nodding slightly and letting it pass. She sat quietly for a while before she turned back to her.

“Why didn’t you tell us before?” she asked. “About Alex, I mean.”

“It wasn’t safe.” Leanna told her.

“What do you mean?” she asked, now sitting straight up.

Leanna paused, not sure whether she should tell her or not. There was so much she couldn’t tell her just yet that she had begun to wonder how she could help her understand some things. Liz noticed her hesitation and spoke up.

“If I’m going to have to trust you I need to know everything.”

Leanna looked at her, thinking through what Liz had just said and knowing she was right. She turned her attention back to the road. She wondered how to tell her.

“I didn’t want to approach you earlier because I wasn’t sure whom to trust.” she finally admitted.

“Stop talking in riddles!” Liz exclaimed in frustration.

“There-there is a spy in your midst.” Leanna replied.

“What?” Liz asked stunned. “Who?”

“I’m not sure. I have my suspicion but I’m not going to say anything until I’m sure.” she told Liz. “I don’t want to point fingers until I’m absolutely sure, so don’t ask me again.”

Liz nodded then asked, “How do you know there is a spy? And who is he or she working for?” she asked.

Leanna glanced at Liz and noticed that she was actually scared by this piece of news. Knowing Liz she knew it wasn’t fear for herself but for her friends and she touched her knee comfortingly.

“Don’t worry about your friends. They are safe for now,” she told her gently. “And I don’t know who the spy is working for…yet.”

“How do you know about this?” Liz asked, apprehension creeping into her voice. “How did you know about Alex and me going to Sweden? No one except Max knew about that! Not even Maria!”

“I know more about you than you can imagine Liz.” Leanna responded, not ready to reveal her secrets yet. But she knew the time would come when she would have to tell her all.

<center>Part 5 </center>

“Max, open this door right now!” Maria yelled as she rang the doorbell insistently.

“Calm down Deluca!” Max answered as he opened the door. Maria didn’t even wait for him to invite her before she had pushed open the door and stormed into the den. “Why don’t you come in?” Max said sarcastically when he was left standing in the doorway. He shut the door with a sigh and made his way to the den.

Maria was pacing to and fro mumbling to herself. “What’s wrong Maria?” Max asked, a bit worried by her behavior.

Maria paused for only a second to look at him before resuming her pacing. “I know you two aren’t on talking terms and all but you must know something!” Maria cried. “I mean she just wasn’t there when I got to her house! And-and it isn’t like her. She doesn’t just get up and leave! And she knows better than to do that without telling anyone-”

“Maria!” Max yelled at her, breaking her ramble. Maria stopped in her tracks and looked at him, as if finally realizing he was standing there. Max bit back the grin that was threatening to emerge. “Who are you talking about?”

“Liz!” Maria stated as if it was obvious. “When I went to see her today she wasn’t there. And when I asked her parents they told me that Liz had told them she was staying at my place.”

Maria looked at Max worriedly. “You don’t think the skins captured her, do you?” she asked. “Or God what if some aliens killed her too?”

“She went through with it after all.” Max groaned to himself as he sat down and ran his hands through his hair.

Maria turned to stare at him. She looked at him suspiciously. “What do you mean ‘she went through with it after all’?”

When Max didn’t answer her she glared at him, hands on her hips. “Max, what aren’t you telling me?” she asked.

Max looked wearily at Maria, having no intention of fighting her, which he knew she would do if he didn’t tell her. “Liz went to Sweden yesterday.” He told her with a sigh.

“Sweden!” Maria cried in disbelief. “When? Why?”

“She went to find Leanna. She thought maybe she could answer some questions about Alex.”

“Why didn’t she tell me?” Maria shouted. “I’m her best friend! And Sweden? Did she even consider how dangerous it might be if Leanna is some murderous alien?”

“She knew all the risks.” Max told her wearily.

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Maria asked accusingly. “I could have knocked some sense into her. I mean she can’t go to Sweden and knock on Leanna’s door saying: Hi, I’m Alex’s best friend. Oh and by the way, did you kill him?”

“She didn’t want anyone to know until she got there.” Max replied.

“You knew about this and didn’t try to stop her?” Maria asked incredulous, smacking him on the arm.

Max stood up abruptly. “In case you haven’t noticed, Liz and I aren’t exactly the best of friends at the moment.” He replied angrily. He lowered his voice a little and gave Maria a resigned look. “Besides, it’s not like I didn’t try to reason with her. She wouldn’t listen to me. You know how she can get.”

Maria plunked down on the sofa Max had just vacated, worried by Liz’s erratic behavior. “She’s intent on doing this, isn’t she?” Maria asked.

“Looks like it.” Max sighed. “I wish she’d just accept Alex’s death.”

“He was her best friend since kinder garden Max.” Maria replied sharply. “What do you expect?”

“I know, I know.” Max said apologetically. “It’s just…I don’t know. She makes me feel responsible.”

“I don’t think she really meant what she said that day…”Maria replied quietly, thinking about what Liz had said at Alex’s wake.

“I’m not so sure about that…”Max replied. He sat down next to Maria and they sat in silence for a few minutes before Isabel’s shriek made them bolt up.

“Max! Oh my God!” Isabel yelled, nearly hysterical. “Come quick!”

Max and Maria ran to where Isabel was standing in the kitchen, staring at the images on the TV.

“What’s wrong Isabel?” Max asked worriedly.

Isabel silently pointed to the TV. She then raised the volume as they listened with growing horror to the newscaster.

“…The plane lost function of one of its engine, resulting in the crash. The plane was heading to Sweden. All passengers are presumed dead. Excavation for bodies is being carried out but it seems unlikely to find any remains…”

“Oh my God!” Maria whispered. She turned to look at Max who was still staring at the screen in shock and horror.

“Max?” Isabel asked tearfully. “Didn’t you tell me that Liz left for Sweden yesterday…?”
