Isabel, Max, and Liz are driving down the highways of Roswell and on some side streets too. "Wait, Isabel, Max, your not making sense, Michael and Maria were together and something happened? I don't get it." Liz was trying to make some logic out of this. Isabel was getting pissed at Liz's constant questions, "Liz, we told you all we know! Michael left a message on out machine telling us he and Maria were going for a drive today, we heard Maria scream watch out then we heard a crash and their phone probably went dead. Now do you get it?" She snapped. Liz laid her back against the seat. "Yeah, I get it." She said quietly. Max gave Isabel an evil look. "Liz, Isabel is just worried, she didn't mean to snap at you. Right Isabel?" Max nudged her arm, pushing for an apology. Isabel glared at Max, "Yeah, sorry Liz, I'm just edgy, this sort of thing never happens, well it happened once with you and Max, but we got past that thanks to Alex. Let's just find them ok." The three of them silently agreed not to say anything more. After an hour and half of driving Liz was asleep in the back seat, Isabel and Max had switched seats and Isabel was now driving. Max looked back at Liz and smiled at her sleeping so peacefully. He silently thanked all higher powers that it wasn't Liz that was in that crash. He turned back and looked out onto the road. Isabel pulled off the highway and onto a deserted road that led somewhere in the desert. "Isabel look!" Max pointed out to Maria's car that was about 150 feet ahead of them. "LIZ! Liz, wake up!" Max said to Liz who was starting to stir in her seat. Isabel picked up speed to get to them faster. Then she quickly stopped the car and all three of them jumped out and ran to Maria's so-called car. Max was the first to look inside the broken glass. "Michael? Maria? Can any of you hear me." Max said as he saw the two figures scrunched up inside the little car. The car moved a bit as Michael slowly moved along. As the time passed he had lost more and more energy to do anything. He could barely even move now. And Maria was still in the same condition she was in a few hours ago. "Max...Max" Michael managed to breath out. Max quickly turned his head to Isabel and Liz. "He's alive, Michael's alive." Max was so relieved, but there was still Maria. "What about Maria?" Liz asked, more concerned now because Maria didn't seem to be talking or moving, or else Max would have told them. "Is she alive? Is she in there Max?" Squinting his eyes, Max looked further into the car. With a swipe of his hand he open the banged up door of the car. It looked like it was ready to fall off. The door was on Michael's side so Max tried to drag Michael out first. "Isabel, Liz can you help me, he's kind of heavy." Max saw as he heaved at getting Michael out. Liz and Isabel walked over and grabbed a leg and an arm and pulled him out. "Help Maria." Was the only thing Michael said. Once Michael was safely on the ground Liz looked inside and screamed, "Oh my god Maria! Maria!! Oh God!" Max walked over and put his hands on her shoulders to try and calm her down. TBC
