Summary Liz Parker is the only witness to a murder. Max Evans is a cop who's job it is to keep her alive. What happens when the killer learns where she is hidden and a snow storm moves in on the mountain cabin they are hidden in.
A/N I have posted this at Roswell haven. Some of you may have read it there. If you did enjoy it again or if not enjoy it now.

Part 1

She headed down the dark street to her apartment. She hated working the late shift at the diner. But she had bills to pay. She was almost home when she realized that she was out of milk. So she stopped in the all night market two blocks from her apartment. She was by the cooler when she heard gun shots from the front of the store. She tried to stay out of sight and as quiet as possible. But she slipped and knocked over several bottles of wine and beer. The gunman made his way to her stared her right in the eyes and pulled the trigger of his gun. She felt the bullet rip into her body. She laid on the floor not moving face down biting her lip as he kicked her in her ribs. He then left. She could feel herself bleeding to death. But she would never forget the face of the man who had just shot her. She had seen it before a long time ago. It was the same man that had killed her parents. She had nightmares about that man since she was five years old. She heard sirens as she blacked out.

******

Max Evans had been a cop for three years. He had seen more then one murder. He walked into the store with his partner a veteran of fifteen years. It was easy to see that the clerk had been the target. Why they didn't know yet. He made his way through the store checking for any other victims as well as the shooter in case they were still there. He made his way to the coolers and saw her laying in a pool of blood. He slowly made his way to her he bent down and found a faint pulse.

"GET THE THE PARAMEDICS! WE GOT A LIVE ONE BACK HERE!" He yelled

He pushed her long brown hair off her face and looked at her face. She was beautiful.

"Hang in there. We are going to help you." Said Max

Two paramedics came in and got her ready to transport. He watched as she was loaded into the ambulance and was taken away.

"Let's hope she lives. She may be the only one who can tell us who did this."
"Patterson, think she will make it?" Asked Max
"Depends on if the bullet hit anything major. The only camera is by the counter and the killer took that out when he came in."
"Then she has to pull through."

Max went back to work with his partner while hoping that girl lived to I.D. the killer.

*******

He sat in his motel room drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette. He had the news on. The top story was of the shooting at the market. They had only confirmed that the clerk was dead. But that didn't mean nothing. He had been a hired killer for a long time. The girl may yet breath but she had to be close to death. Or may already be dead and it hadn't been released yet. Cause if she lived then he had a lose end to take care of.

L-J-L 76 Thanks

Carolyn Have fun!





Part 2

She woke and winced in pain.

"Careful, you were hurt pretty bad."

She looked over and saw a man she had never seen before sitting next to her bed. He was dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt, but she also saw the badge hanging from around his neck.

"Where am I?"
"Hospital, you were shot."
"Who are you?"
"Detective Max Evans."
"Why are you here?"
"Well you are the only one who can I.D. the man that killed Hector Sanchez."
"And have the killer finish me off yeah right."
"Once he knows you are alive he will come after you no matter what."
"Not if I leave and never come back."
"He is a pro. He will find you."
"Oh and like you can protect me?"
"Ms. Parker, once you are cleared we have a safe place to hide you."
"Look Evans, I am not going to rat out a killer."
"You won't have a choice. The District Attorney will force you to. My job now is to make sure you stay alive to testify."
"There is no way that is going to happen."
"Ms. Parker, I am only telling you what I know is going to happen."
"Go to hell."
"I get you are scared."
"No you don't get it. I am not just scared. You maybe protecting me. But if I testify I put other people in danger."
"They are being protected."

Just then a doctor came in.

"Nice to see you awake Ms. Parker."
"When came I go home?" Asked Liz
"You need to stay here a few more days." Said the doctor
"Fine."
"When she is released can she travel?" Asked Max
"Depends how far. But no flying."
"We won't be flying. But it will be a few hours out side of the city."
"That should be fine."
"Look I am not going any where with you! There is no way in hell I am going to be your witness." Said Liz
"You really don't have much choice but to go with me. You have been placed in protective custody."
"This is bull shit! I have rights!"
"Ms. Parker, yes you have rights. But do you really want a killer to go free?"
"Look Evans is it? I don't remember anything!"
"I don't believe you. You wouldn't be so scared if you didn't."

Liz sighed. She knew he was right. She was scared. She turned away from him. She knew that she had to put that monster away.

"I do know who it was. I even know his name. It's the same man that killed my parents when I was five."
"What is his name?" Asked Max softly
"Victor Kivar. He works as my Uncle's hitman."
"Your Uncle?"
"Thomas Jackson. He married my mom's sister. He is part of some crime family."
"The Gomez."

Liz just nodded.

"I am not going to let anything happen to you."
"I am not the only one in danger. My cousin Serena is in danger too. She is my cousin on my dad's side. I went to live with her family after my parents killed."
"I will get someone to protect her."
"Thanks."

Max watched her. He could see the fear in her. He had to wonder why she had to go through all of this.

Carolyn Yes Max has a big challenge a head of him.

L-J-L 76 Max will really have his hands full!






Part 3

Serena Ross walked into the police station and right up to the desk.

"Help you?" Asked the officer without looking up.
"Yeah I want to report a missing person." Said Serena
"Who is it?"
"My cousin she never came home from work two days ago. She also didn't show up for work the past two days."
"Fill this out." He handed her a clipboard with a form on it.

Serena sighed took it and sat down in one of the chairs to fill out the form. Every once in a while she would glance back at the officer at the desk. He was young. Most likely not long out of the academy. Not that she cared. She wanted nothing more then to find her cousin. She had promised her parents she would look out for Liz. She finished filling out the forms and gave them back to the officer. He looked them over then glanced at her.

"Wait here please." Said the officer

The officer went over to a closed door and knocked.

"Captain, there is something you need to take care of."
"Hanson why can't you deal with it?"
"Sir, Elizabeth Parker's cousin is here to file a missing persons report." Said Hanson
"Damn. Send her in."
"Yes sir."

Hanson, went back out and looked at Serena.

"My Captain would like to speak with you Miss." Said Hanson
"Fine." Said Serena

Serena walked into the office to see a man at the desk who stood up when she walked in.

"Please sit down Miss Ross. I am Captain Jim Valenti. I understand that you have some questions about your cousin."
"I don't have questions. Liz is missing." Said Serena sitting across from him.
"I can understand that you are worried about your cousin. But isn't there a chance she met someone and went off with them and just forgot to call?"
"Captain, my cousin isn't a slut! She went out with the same guy for three years in high school. She didn't sleep with him until the third year. They broke up after graduation. When he went to college. Last I heard about that guy was he was screwing every girl he could. Liz doesn't date. She and I both work in order to pay for our apartment. We only have each other."

Valenti sighed. He knew that this young lady was not going to buy some lame story.

"Miss Ross, the truth is your cousin has been taken into protective custody."
"Why Captain?"
"How much do you know about the death of Elizabeth's parents?"
"Only that they were murdered. I was five at the time."
"They were killed as a hit by the Gomez family. Seems your aunt unknowingly married a top lieutenant in the family. When your uncle refused to play ball with them a hit was put out on the whole family. Including your cousin. She escaped unharmed only reason we have come up with is because the hitman couldn't kill a five year old. Well fifteen years later that hitman is back. He killed Hector Sanchez. Your cousin is our only witness."
"Where is Liz! I need to see her!"
"She is in the hospital. She witnessed the murder. The killer shot her. But she was smart and played dead. We have not released anything about her."
"It won't stop a hired gun by the Gomez family."
"That is true. She also recognized him as the man that killed her parents. She is concerned about your safety. So I am going to place you in protective custody. I will have an office escort you home where you will pack a bag for yourself and your cousin."
"Will I get to see Liz?"
"I going to have you taken to the same safe house that your cousin will be moved to once she is released from the hospital."
"OK. Just be warned whoever is with Liz is going to have their hands full."
"Oh trust me he already knows that!"

It will be interesting to see how this progresses.

Wow Serena had a hell of a surprise. Loved how Serena got Jim to tell him the truth. So now Liz and Serena have to be in witness protection. Agree with Serena about Max having his hands full with Liz. Wonder if Max will be able to handle Liz????
