ROSWELL

As Parker and her henchmen left the UFO Centre she became annoyed that they couldn't find a trace of Jarod or Liz,

"Dammit, Syd" she said

"What?"

"We have to get her before Lyle does"

"Why's that?" he asked her

Miss Parker looked at the older man and said that she doesn't want her brother to get all recognition from Motambo if they could get both and now that they know that Liz had the she gene as her brother she could become useful to them. The three left the city and decided to search high and low for the two fugitives

BLUE COVE~ DALAWARE

Lyle looked at his men angry that thy couldn’t find Jarod and Liz

"I ordered you to capture them"

"Sir, when we got there the two already left the city"

"I don’t care! When I give you an order I expect it to be followed through. Now get a move on!"

"Yes, sir"

The two agents left the office and went on their way searching for Jarod and Liz. Lyle looked at the scene outside his window cursing. He knew that he would never rest before he has Jarod or Liz in his power. Suddenly the ringing of his phone interrupted his thoughts.

"What?"

"Lyle, I ordered you to find the four and you disobeyed me!"

"No, sir. We are still trying to capture Jarod"

"That is not your first priority. Your first order was to deliver the four to me!"

Silently Lyle cursed this new boss he has. Even though he looked like a teenager, this one was a force not to be reckoned with.

"Sir, I'll send a teem to Roswell ASAP"

"You better!" and the phone went dead

++++++++++++++++++++++++++


NEW YORK

They saw the city lights and decided to find a place where they could rest. While they drove into the city, Liz saw the familiar scenes as what she had when Max was there

"Déjà vu" she said

"What did you just say?"

"Well, as I told you there was a Wipe Out of Roswell a few months ago, but that's not all. Max came to New York for a summit and while here I sensed that his life was in danger. Tess told me that when Max healed me I changed and I have to harness my new powers" When Jarod heard about her powers he knew that it was more than powers, it was her gifts that were manifesting it. He looked at her and said,

"I'm glad I took you out of Roswell before they came"

"What would they have done to me?"

He told her about what happened to him and that it might happen to her too. That is why they had to get out of Roswell. Jarod looked at his sister and he knew that she must be petrified to be on the run.

"I'm sorry for taking you away from your life, but your life was in danger"

"I know, but I'm used to running from someone"

"What do you mean?" he asked

"It's a long story"

"I have time"

With that she started to reveal everything she and the others went through. From the day she was shot to the day they nearly disappeared from Earth. In the background the newest hit of Dido was playing

"I just want to feel safe in my own skin

I just want to be happy again I just want to feel deep in my own world But I'm so lonely I don't want to be with myself anymore" As the song continued Liz looked at the night sky and said, "I feel like this song was meant to be played for me"

"Why?" Jarod asked

"Well, I feel like my entire life was a total lie" Jarod looked at his young sister and saw the pain written in her eyes

"Don't you worry, I'll help you" With those words Jarod placed his hands on her shoulders.

This made her feel more secured. As they stopped by the nearest motel they booked two rooms. They went into their rooms and Liz sat on her bed, trying to cope with the knowledge that she was different from the rest.

BLUE COVE~ DELAWARE

As Lyle looked at the sweepers he could sense that something important has happened.

"Do you have news for me?" he asked

"Sir, we believe that we found Jarod and his sister"

"Now, why aren't you there to capture them?"

"Sir, we've sent someone to go after them"

With a sigh of relieve Lyle sat down, knowing that soon he would have Liz in his power. She's still young and inexperienced. He looked at the two men and told them that they could leave. He picked up the phone and dialed Nicholas's number,

"I hope you have good news for me"

"I believe I do. We've found Jarod and his sister- and I believe that you've met her"

"Yes I did. But what has it got to do with the four?"

"Well, we can use her as a pawn luring the four to meet us, and as soon as you got what you want then I would have what I want"

"That plan could might just work"

Lyle placed the phone back and sat down relaxed.

NEW YORK

Liz was anxious to get out of that town. She felt lost and even if she found her brother she knew that he wouldn't be able to fill that void. She stepped out of her room and went outside for a breath of fresh air. As she stood there she knew that something was about to happen. She stood there looking up into space, and then suddenly she saw them. Three men came up to her with pistols in their hands,

"Come with us!" one of them ordered

"Not in your life time" she said

One of the men came up behind her and before she could warn Jarod he hit her. As she slumped down the three placed her on the back seat of the car. Jarod came out of his room and went to his sister's room. She softly knocked and when he heard that she wasn't there he knew that he had to find her before they get to her. Suddenly his cell-phone rang,

"Yes, Sydney"

"Jarod, I just eavesdropped on a conversation Lyle had with one of the sweepers that he wants you and Liz captured"

"I think I'm too late. I can't find her"

"I'll try to keep my eyes open. And if they do have her I'll try to help her"

"Thank you" Jarod said

He went to his room and packed his bag. He decided that Liz's friends must know what happened and maybe they can help him locate her. He went to her room and packed her bags too. Suddenly he saw her journal and he opened it,

"September 1999 My name is Liz Parker and today I died"

As he read the journal he knew that everything Liz told him about the group was the truth. He then understood the anxiety she had and that it wasn't strange for her to tun from enemies. He took his phone and dialed Maria's number

"De Luca residence"

"Hi, there. Is Maria there?"

"Speaking. Jarod is that you?"

"Yes, I just want to tell you that I'm coming back to Roswell"

"Is Liz with you?" she asked

"That's just it. She's been captured and I need all of your help'

"I'll inform the group" they said good-bye and Jarod took the nearest taxi

++++++++++++++


ROSWELL

Maria dashed out of her house and went to the CrashDown. She knew that Max and the others would be there. As she opened the door she saw Tess and Max sitting in one of the booths, she walked over to them and sat down

"Max, I have some news for you about Liz"

"What did you find?" he asked

She told him about the conversation she just had with Jarod and that the Centre had captured Liz. He looked at her and asked,

"When are we going?'

"It's too soon. Jarod told me that he would be coming here"

Max knew that he had to wait for Jarod, but he also knew that if they don't find Liz soon the unspeakable could happen to her.

BLUE COVE~ DALAWARE

With brutal force the sweepers dragged Liz in front of Lyle. He looked at the young girl and then to his men

"Nice work. Now leave us"

The men placed her on one of the chairs and left

"So you are our Pretender's sister?"

"So what…I've done nothing" she answered sarcastically.

"Yes…that is true, but not for long. You are going to take your brother's place here at the Centre"

"You can't force me" she said wit a shocked tone in her voice.

Lyle looked at her and said that he can force her to do anything they want her to do. He called for a doctor and said, "Take her to the lab. We are going to begin the work"

"Yes sir" the doctor said

He grabbed Liz and while she struggled to break free. Lyle took the phone and dialed Nicholas's number

"Sir, we've got Liz. Soon she would break and then you would have the Royal Four in your grasp"

"Nice work. I just hope you are right"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


ROSWELL

Jarod looked at the restaurant and he knew that soon he would have to face the group. He stepped in and saw the entire group there. Max came up to him and as the two shook hands Jarod told them what happened

"I was just too late to safe her"

"Don't worry. We will help you"

The two went inside and Jarod could feel the tension in the café. Max and the other aliens decided to use their alien abilities to look for Liz. They stood in a circle and held hands. As they stood there with their eye closed Max depicted Liz in his minds eye. Slowly as the image formed it showed them where she was held captive. He could feel her agony and then he knew that they have to get her before its too late.

ON THE ROAD

Sydney and the others were on their way back to the Centre when Miss Parker's cell-phone rang

"What!" she exclaimed

"Hi, sis. It's nice to hear your voice too"

"Lyle. I don't have time for playing games. Say what you have to say!"

"We've got Jarod's sister and that is not all. We are going to train her to take her brother's place here at the Centre"

For a while there was silence then she said,

"We'll be there in an hour"

"There's no hurry. We already started to train her"

Miss Parker turned pale and while she was on the phone she looked at Sydney. Sydney could see that they were too late.

"I better get there fast," he said.

With those words they sped up, knowing that time was crucial.

BLUE COVE~ DALAWARE

Lyle looked at the scene in front of him and grinned. He could 'feel' the fear of this girl, but he could sence something else. It was something otherworldly that seeps from her. Every test they performed on her was positive. She has the same gene that Jarod has the only difference with her gene and Jarod's gene was the development. Jarod had been taken at an early stage and had time to nurture his abilities. While Liz's gene had not been activated humanly. There has been tampered with her and now she shows signs of PK and telepathy. Lyle looked at Liz and knew that the four were responsible for her new powers. He told the team to leave Liz alone for a while. As they all left the room, Liz sat there bruised in spirit. She felt so lost and didn't want to help these bastards. But she knew that if he didn't help them they might kill her. She sends for Lyle and as he stood there she said,

"I'll help you, but you must know this"

"What?" Lyle grinned

"I'll never betray my friends"

With those words she went into a deep dreamless slumber

ROSWELL

The group was sitting in he CrashDown, when suddenly Isabel got an idea. She looked at Max and said,

"Why don't I try to reach her through her dreams?" Max looked at her and said,

"I think it's a good idea" with those words they decided to meet at the Evans' house. Maria closed the restaurant and the group left.

Evans House

As they sat down Isabel took the yearbook and traced her finger over the picture of Liz. Slowly she closed her eyes and entered the dream plain

>>


Slowly she saw a door and went through it. What she saw left her shocked. Liz was strapped onto a bed with tubes in her arms. She could hear Liz's crying and pleading for her to wake up, but it was in vain. Liz was trapped in a drugged induced sleep

>>


Isabel woke from the dream with tears in her eyes. She looked at Jarod and said,

"We have to get her away from those monsters"

"That's why I came to you," he said.

Jarod looked at the group with trepidation in his eyes

"So will you help me?' he asked

Max stepped forward and said,

"In a heart beat"

The group packed their bags and drove off to Delaware. Max looked at Jarod and he could see that Liz was important to him. He knew that if Isabel were in Liz's shoes he would search the entire world to get her back to safety. He looked over his shoulder to where Isabel slept. He could see the worried expression on her face and he knew that this had a psychological affect on her. Before he could blink his eyes they were at the Centre. He woke the others an looked at Jarod,

"What are we going to do now?" he asked

"Wait until the sun set and then get inside the Centre"

Max knew that when he was in the White Room Liz didn't hesitate to get him out of there. So he knew what he had to do. They sat there waiting for the right time to enter the building. As the seconds ticked on they knew that the soon they could fight the Skins

Suddenly Jarod looked at the time and said,

"It's time. Get yourself ready" They stood up and slowly edged themselves to the secret entrance. As they crept into the building a sence of fear gripped Isabel's heart. It was as if someone was waiting for her to come. She stopped and looked at Max and with a whisper she said,

"Max I think this is a trap"

"How could you tell?"

"For one thing. Isn't it obvious that this place is unguarded?"

"I think you are right. I'll ask Jarod"

He crept towards Jarod and asks him about he security of the Centre. Jarod stopped and said,

"I asked one of my friends inside to disable them for me"

"Can you trust this person?" Max asked

"With my life. He helped me time and again to avoid capture"

They moved on and stopped by an air vent. As Max peeked through a hole he gasped. What he saw was Liz strapped to a bed with Nicholas standing next to her. He turned around and hushed the others. With that they listened to what Nicholas had to say,

"Liz if you don't reveal the Royal Four to me. I'll give

Lyle the order to kill you"

Liz looked at Nicholas and said,

"You might as well kill me now, but to betray my friends? That I won't do"

"Good for you" Max whispered

Nicholas turned around in surprise, "Well, Well, Well. If it isn’t Zan? Care to join us?" he asked in a sarcastic tone

"Nicholas you will never get the Granilith and we won't surrender" Michael said and raised his hand

"Tsk, Tsk. The mighty Rath has challenged me. What is your plan?"

Without warning Michael released a bolt of power from his hand and Nicholas disintegrated.

"Come. We have to get away from here" Jarod screamed.

Max took Liz in his arms and ran out of the Centre.

When they reached safety Jarod looked at his sister and said, "I'll visit you in Roswell, that's why I decided to let you stay with your friends"

"But Jarod. Won't they come after me and you again?" she asked

"That's their plan, but we are strong" with those words he kissed her good-bye and left. Max looked at Liz and said,

"I will never let you go again"

They embraced and waited for the bus to take them back to Roswell
