***
It was a sleepy morning in the neighbourhood, the Evans house was still fast asleep when the doorbell rang. Diane heard it, it woke her up and she headed down the stairs to the door, she gasped when she opened it
"What's happened? What's wrong?" she asked worried
"Mrs Evans... I'm sorry but we have a warrant for your son" said Valenti
"What for? What's he done?" she asked getting more worried than before "He's alright isn't he? He's supposed to be in bed..."
"Yes I uh know. We've got a warrant to arrest him for murder" he said as he stepped inside. She clapped a hand over her mouth in shock, she stood there as a few officers followed Valenti in and down the hall to Max's bedroom.

Max was sprawled on his bed, he was stuck in a nightmare that haunted his day and his nights, he barely slept at all and this time he was thankful to get some rest, even if his dreams did have Liz and Kyle together. He tried so hard to block it out, how could she betray him like that? Something wasn't right, yes she cared for Kyle, but he knew her or at least he thought he did, she would never give something that important away to someone she just cared for and didn't really love. He heard a bang and he groggily opened his eyes seeing Valenti, he sat up and rubbed his eyes
"Valenti? What's wrong? The FBI hasn't come to town again have they? Is everyone okay?"
"No Max... I umm sorry to have to do this but you're under arrest for the murder of Elizabeth Claudia Parker. You have the right to remain silent anything you say may be used in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney if you do not have one we shall provide one for you" he said as he read Max's his rights
"Liz..." he gasped "Liz is..."
"Her body was found earlier this morning just outside of Roswell. We have witnesses saying you took her" he explained then leaned in close "And there's a silver handprint burned into her back" Max's eyes fluttered shut and he felt faint. He fell in Valenti's arms as his legs gave out, Hanson and Owen dragged Max out the room. Isabel was standing in the hall
"Valenti what's going on!" she screamed "Where are they taking Max! No don't let them take him again! Max!" she shouted as she tried to stop them "Tell them to let him go!" she looked up at him with tears running down her face and saw he was about to do no such thing "Oh my god you're turning us in... You're... No! We trusted you!" she shouted stepping back and raising her hand. Diane and Phillip stood in the hallway watching the confrontation between Isabel and Valenti
"No Isabel. It's not like, I still keep your secret. Liz... Liz is dead, she was murdered and we have eye witnesses saying that it was Max"
"I need to call Liz" she said turning around then froze "Michael. I'll call Michael and the others" she said hurrying to the phone
"Sheriff what is going on?" asked Diane
"I'm going with him" said Phillip "He's going to need a lawyer" Philip pulled on a coat and headed out after the police cruisers.

Isabel was pacing up and down on the phone, she was talking to Alex at the moment and had just got off the phone after a ten second talk with Michael
"Max has been arrested" she said "Liz is... oh god Liz is..." she couldn't even say it
"Liz is what? What's wrong with Liz?" asked Alex worried
"She's dead Alex. Liz is dead... and the Police think Max murdered her" she told him and the line went quiet...

Kyle woke up to Tess running around the place frantically, she practically ran out of her room naked throwing clothes on
"Max just got arrested" she stated and he nodded
"What'd he do? Get drunk again and climb the school?" he quipped as he went to lie back down on the couch and get some sleep
"No, Isabel just called to tell me. Valenti turned up and arrested Max for murder"
"You aliens" he muttered
"Kyle!" she shouted almost forgotting the had lesson's Nasedo had drummed into her "Liz is dead!" he looked up surprised, she looked away as her eyes filled with tears "I shouldn't be crying for her. I mean she took Max away from me... he should have been mine but... but she was so selfless and tried to help me when I was nothing but cruel and manipulative to her" she wrapped her arms around her small frame and Kyle tossed his blanket aside and hugged her
"It'll be okay..." he said, she pulled away and brushed her tears away
"Isabel needs me. I think she's called everyone so..." she reached out and touched the waist of his boxers and he was dressed in seconds "Come on, let's go"
He thought about it as he walked out to the car. Liz was dead, Liz was dead it just didn't sound right. Liz cheated death, she just couldn't seem able to be dead at least not in his eyes and what was even more kooky was that Max was supposed to have killed her? Max would never hurt Liz? Right? He thought as he slid into the drivers seat, what if... Max did it out of anger? Only two nights ago he caught them in bed for the whole Future thing that no one was supposed to know about. Did Max kill Liz because she had slept, well sort of, with me? He wondered...
