"Tess and Alex are with Iz. You guys can fit with me..." I look in the rear view mirror just in time to see Kyle speeding out of the parking lot behind us.
"Oh shit! Michael, he's following us." I bite my lip as I speed down the hightway. The problem being, that I really don't want to get away from Kyle. Sure, he isn't like my best friend or anything but where's he gonna go when we're all gone and he realizes his dad isn't coming back? Where does that leave him?
I'm so scared because I know how dangerous it is to let people in but at the same time, isn't it cruel to just leave him? Damn why does everything have to be so complicated?
"Michael, I'm gonna ask you a question and please don't bite my head off cause I don't really think I could take it right now. Are you sure that leaving Kyle here alone is the best thing to do? We are all that he has now. You know what that's like Michael."

"Great," I tell Maria when she says there's room in her car for the three of us. As small as the Jetta is, at least it's closed and that feels a little more secure than the jeep -- even if there is time to put the top on it. "You come fetch us. I'll call the others and get Tess to help with a mindwarp."
But before I can do that, Maria stops me with another question. "Michael, I'm gonna ask you a question and please don't bite my head off cause I don't really think I could take it right now. Are you sure that leaving Kyle here alone is the best thing to do? We are all that he has now. You know what that's like Michael."
"What do you mean, we're all he has?" I ask, feeling a bit incredulous. Sure, Liz is his ex-girlfriend and that means he was a friend to Maria and Alex in some way, but he barely knows the rest of us. "Doesn't he have all his friends on the football team, and the basketball team, and the baseball team?" They're the ones who are his real pals.
But I guess I know what she means, although it's not what she said. We're the ones who know the truth. Well, us and the FBI. We're the only ones who could tell him what really happened. But that would mean more exposure and we really can't afford to leave anyone who knows our secret alone in Roswell. Eventually, he'll tell, and then where will we be?
I gotta get Maria off the phone so I can talk to Tess and get her to help with a mindwarp -- although she may have already thought of that herself. Or if Liz gets Kyle off the phone, she could call her, too...
"Listen, Is he still following you?" I'm so hoping he's already turned away 'cause Tess has already thought about mindwarping her on her own. That's why she went for heaven's sake. What the hell has she been doing? "If he is, I gotta call Izzy -- but I'll call you right back. I promise."

I don't believe it. I'm trying to follow Isabel and Maria, but they're in two cars and they seem to be splitting up. Damn it. Should I follow Isabel? Her brother is the guy my dad was after. She might know something. Or I could go after Maria. She might know what's up with Liz.
I'll follow Isabel, I decide. But when I look over, the jeep is gone. I search for the Jetta instead, and Maria's gone, too. I slow down, looking around. They can't just disappear!
“So where do you want to meet…?” Liz asks.
Oh boy. Another problem. If I knew where Maria was going I'd suggest there. But it has to be someplace other than the Crashdown. Too many FBI guys there. But it can't be anyplace they're going to be looking for me, either. Not that I have reason to hide from them in particular, but I need some answers, not baby-sitters.
"Senor Chow's. I'll meet you there," I tell her.

“Senior Chows…I’ll meet you there…”
I nod even though Kyle can’t see me, biting my lip and hating every minute of what I’m doing. “Okay Kyle…I’ll be there as soon as I can…” I tell him awkwardly, conscious of the fact that Michael’s now getting Max ready to go and I'm probably never going to step foot in that restaurant again in my life. I’m about to hang up, but at the last minute I can’t help adding something more. “Just…be careful…okay…”
Hopefully he won’t think I’m being too strange, him already knowing that there are FBI agents about… The problem is, I don’t know if he knows to keep out of their way…as far as he’s concerned they might be there to protect him…something which might have been true, had it not been for Jim helping us…
I wish I knew what I could do to help him…to keep him safe… He’s not my boyfriend anymore no, but I do still care about him… I’ve known him a long time, and I guess I’d still like to think of him as a friend…

OOC -- Wow. I wasn't expecting that, but okay. Thanks.

"Just be careful, okay?" Liz says. There's an odd tone in her voice but I guess she's freaked by all the FBI guys, too. It's clear that this guy Liz had called my father about was no ordinary hoodlum or bum. He might have been a mobster. Or an undercover agent. Or a murderer. God. I wish I had some idea where my father is. I hope he's okay...
"Yeah, I'll see you," I say, hanging up the phone. I'm a bit confused because both Maria and Isabel seemed to have disappeared. I'm sitting here watching, wondering how that happened. Just as I decide that I best forget it and go meet Liz, the Jetta re-appears, far ahead of me. I'm sure it wasn't there before. Could it be somebody-else?
Nah, I doubt it.
None-the-less, I start up the car and head after the Jetta. I'll follow her from a distance so she won't know that I'm here...

"He was. I don't know where he is now Michael. He could be anywhere."
I shake as I drive at an incresingly fast speed down the highway. I feel so conflicted. My loyalty will always be to Michael. I love him with all my heart and would do anything for him. But at the same time, what are we supposed to do about Kyle? I mean sure, he has his teammates but he can't really talk to them about things that have been going on. And now with his dad being gone, he's just left out in the cold.
"I'm sorry Michael. I know I'm letting you down but I just don't know what to do." I say trying to control the tears that are beginning to take over.

I breath a sigh of relief when Maria says that Kyle's out of sight. True, he could be anywhere, but at least he's not close to her. Inside of an hour we'll all be out of town and then it won't matter where he is.
"I'm sorry Michael. I know I'm letting you down but I just don't know what to do." she says, sounding frantic and upset.
"No. You're doing fine," I assure her. As long as Kyle's gone and nobody knows where we are, I'm thrilled. Maria's safe and she has the cash. It's good. I just wish I could be there with her. "It's all going to be okay. We're going to get out of here and all this will be just a memory," I promise her. It's sounding so good to me. To finally kiss Roswell 'good-bye.'

"Yeah, we're ready," I tell Maria. I'm glad that Kyle had gotten off the phone with Liz, allowing her to call Isabel so everyone knows where we're going to meet before we take off and ditch this crazy town forever.
Max is a bit more collected than he had been before and he keeps insisting that he can stand on his own. Maybe he's right, but I feel a lot better making sure he stays verticle. I keep the canvas wrapped around him as we walk towards the stairs to get out of here. I'm sure Maria has a better blanket in the Jetta but we'll keep this on until he's in the car. I don't want Max out there until I'm sure the coast is clear.
"Sit here," I tell Max, helping him to the stair. Liz is hovering nearby, looking on with a worried eye. I know I don't need to ask her to sit with him or keep a watch on him.
I go up the few stairs to the door and ease it open a little, looking for some sign that we'd been discovered. The clearing is still empty. Even the tire treads and footprints we'd left there a few hours ago are gone. I cleared them when I'd fetched the canvas. Tentatively, I step out a bit further, scanning the whole area but there's not a sign of anyone having been by here. Maybe this thing is going to work. We're gonna get out of here and escape the FBI for good.
Then there's a sound of a motor and the clunking of something moving over rocks. I spin around, ready to blast, but I see that it's the Jetta racing closer. Thank God!
"I see ya!" I say into the phone. "Gonna get Max." I turn and head back inside.
"She's here," I tell Liz and she helps me get Max to his feet again, amid his protests.

I'm trying real hard to stay out of Maria's sight but it becomes very hard as she heads out of town and across the desert. She's definately not heading for her mom's place like she said.
Twenty minutes later, I'm starting to feel really bad about Liz. I'm sure she's out of the Crashdown by now, if the FBI guys haven't stopped her. She may be heading for Senor Chow's and I'm not going to be there. I reach for my cell phone and start scrolling through my contacts to get Liz's number, but I don't call yet. It's taking most of my attention to keep an eye on Maria and on all the road hazards.
I'm surprised to see her pull off the main road and down some dirt path. I slow down and lose sight of her for a moment. As I clear the large rock formations, I see her again, approacing level area with a watertower and a large set of doors in the rock. I never knew this place was here. How did Maria know? What the hell is she doing here?

I speed my way to the building and come to a screetching halt in front. Jumping out of the car, I run down the stairs to where Michael, Max and Liz are waiting. Running to Michael, I throw my arms around him and hold onto him for dear life. Seeing as how he's trying to get Max up, I I let go of him and step back.
"What should I do?"
