Dedication: I want to dedicate this to DMartinez, SilverSky,
Peachez4MaxEvans and MoonBaby19 who have written some of the most
awesome Polar fics out there. It�s because of them that I am now a definite
Polarist. I want to thank them for inspiring me to write this.

Part 16: Misconceptions and Preconceived Notions
Micheal sat at the counter of the Crash, going over the inventory list when a
raven-haired, tall, attractive girl walked in. For some reason, he was
instantly captivated by her presense.
Kyle sat her in a booth near him. She sat alone. He could feel her eyes
boring holes in his head. He looked up and locked gazes with her. There was
an almost familiar quality to her.
The interaction wasn�t missed by Maria, Kyle, Isabel, and Ava.
�I don�t like this.� Isabel said as she eyed the girl waringly.
�Me neither.� Ava replied as she eyed her former brother in law
carefully.
Kyle watched the girl carefully. He didn�t like this one bit. There was
something off about this girl. Especially because of the way Micheal was
staring at her. There was no way in hell he�d willingly gawk at that girl. After
all he had Liz. And when she was in the room, everything else around him
disappeared.
�I have the distinct feeling this chick is trouble. Do you see the way Mciheal
is staring at her. I mean c�mon that�s so not a Spaceboy thing to do.�
Kyle nodded agreeing with his sister. �We need to find out who she is
ASAP.�
****
The mysterious brunette ate her lunch silently. When it came time to pay,
she gave Kyle a Visa card. His next move was very smart.
�Can I just see some form of ID to verify that this is yours?�
�Sure. Here�s my license,� she said as she handed it to him.
He quickly scanned it, making sure to remember everything on it. He handed
it back to her. �Thanks. I�ll go ring this up for you.�
�Thank you.�
****
Kyle rang her bill up and gave her the receipt to sign. She signed it and left.
But not before giving Micheal a look. More specifically an I want you
look.
�Uh what a slut,� Maria said disgustedly.
�Yep,� Ava and Isabel agreed.
Meanwhile, Kyle was scribbling something down furiously on a pad.
Isabel walked up behind him and saw what he was writing. She put her arms
around him and smiled. �You�re a genius Buddha Boy.� She whispered
happily.
�What?� Maria and Ava were eager to know what was going on.
�I got her information. According to her driver�s license she�s Kyla Relos
from Seattle, Washington. 18 Pinelawn Drive to be exact. Apparently she�s
22.�
�Kyla Relos?� Ava asked �That sounds an awful lot like......�
�Akyra of Rilos.� Isabel finished for her former and soon to be
sister-in-law.
�Something�s not right here.�
Kyle glanced at Maria in amusement. �Thank you, Captain Obvious.�
�Kyle,� Isabel warned.
�Sorry, I know now�s not the time. We gotta find out what the deal is on this
chick. I�ll have my dad run a background check on her.�
****
Two Hours Later:
�Ok, Dad ran a check.� Kyle told Isabel and Maria.
�And what did Dad find?� Maria asked curiously.
Kyle smiled up at her. He didn�t mind in the least that she referred to his
father as �Dad�. It didn�t bother him at all. After all their parents were
married, he called her sis, and they had a little sister.
�Apparently no trace of her can be found before two weeks ago. A trace on
her Social Security Number said that she�s dead.�
�So she stole someone�s identity.�
Kyle nodded at his girlfriend. �Apparently.�
�She�s staying at the Hotel on the edge of town just outside Groom
Lake.�
�Well then let�s go pay Ms. Relos a visit.� Isabel replied confidently.
�No need,� Maria interjected, �she�s back.�
All three turned to see the girl walk into the Crashdown. She approached
Micheal and began a conversation with him much to the dismay of Isabel and
Maria, and the disgust of Kyle.

Meanwhile:
Liz sat at the kitchen table in the apartment, going through the mail from
the last few days. She was hoping to find something addressed to her. She
had placed an ad in the New Mexico Times asking that if anyone had any
information about her parents to please let her know.
Her eyes suddenly came upon a letter addressed to her. She quickly tore the
envelope open and began to read eagerly.
Dear Elizabeth,
My name is Kevin Taliran and I think I have information on your parents. I�m
now twenty-four years old and when I was nine my parents gave my little
sister, who was three at the time, up for adoption. It�s not that they didn�t
love her. It was simply because they could not afford to have two children.
They chose to give my sister up because she still had a chance of being
adopted. I, on the other hand, would�ve been bounced from foster home to
foster home had they given me up.
For years, both my mother and father were torn up about giving her up.
Shortly before her death, my mother reveled to me that she had left her on
the steps of an orphanage. And when my father also passed on, I made it my
mission to try and locate my baby sister. I wanted to know what she looked
liked, what kind of woman she had grown to be, and if she was looking for
me.
When I saw your ad in the paper, I was elated. I think that you Elizabeth
are my younger sister. I think that my two years of searching for her have
come to an end. I would like to meet you and see if I�m right.
So please, when you get this letter, give me a call at 555-4243.
Sincerely,
Kevin Taliran
By the time she was finished reading Kevin�s letter, she had tears streaming
down her face. This was it. She had found them. But she would never get to
know them because both her parents had passed away. On the other hand,
she now had a big brother. Something that she had always wanted.
She dashed for the phone and quickly dialed Kevin�s number.
�Hello?�
�Is this Kevin?�
�Yes, it is.�
�This is Liz Parker. I just received your letter.�
�And?�
�And I think you�re right. I think I�m your little sister.�
She heard him let out a sigh of relief. �Can we meet?�
�Sure where?�
�At my house, tomorrow?�
�That�s fine. Can you give me directions?�
�Sure.� He rattled off directions to his house and she scribbled them
down furiously.
�Okay. I�ll see you tomorrow Kevin.� She finished with a smile.
�I look forward to it Liz.�
Liz couldn�t keep the smile from her face. She had a brother. A real
brother. She loved her sister Ava with all her heart but it wasn�t the same.
Ava knew her roots. Liz didn�t. But now she had someone who did. She had a
big brother.

At the Same Time Downstairs
Micheal sat at the counter still working on the books when he felt a
presence behind him. He turned to see the same brunette from before
staring back at him.
�Hi.�
�Hi.� He replied.
�You work here?�
He nodded entranced by her eyes. �Yeah. I�m one of the managers. My
girlfriend and her sister own it.�
�Damn.� The girl said with a sad smile.
�What?� Micheal asked curiously.
�It figures a gorgeous guy like you would have a girlfriend.�
Micheal found himself blushing at her words. �Thank you.�
She stuck her hand out, �I�m Kyla. Kyla Relos.�
He shook her hand. �Nice to meet you. Micheal Guerin.�
�Well Micheal I�m new in town. What�s good to do around here?� She asked
as she stared him in his eyes.
Micheal found himself lost in her eyes. They had a very familiar quality to
them. �Have I seen you somewhere before?�
�In another lifetime maybe.� She replied with a smile.
****
�That�s it,� Maria declared with a huff, �we have to get that girl in the break
room so we can talk to her. It�s like she�s got Micheal under a
trance.�
�I�ve got an idea.� Akien replied with a smile. Akien and Ashley had shown up
twenty minutes before. Both were eager to question this mysterious girl.
Ashley was sensing some not so pure intentions pouring off of her.
With that Akien got up and approached Micheal and mystery girl.
�Hey M.�
�Oh hey Akien. This is Kyla, she�s new in town.�
�Nice to meet you,� Akien said pretending to be genuinely happy to meet
her.
He turned his attention back to Micheal. �We�re all chillen in da breakroom.
Ya wanna come chill wit us?� He turned to �Kyla� �Ya can come too if ya wants.
We�ll intraduce ya to our friends.�
Akien looked at Kyla trying to gauge her reaction. She seemed uneasy by his
suggestion. Clue number one.
Micheal turned to Kyla. �Yeah why don�t you come with us. You can meet the
gang.�
�Sure.� Kyla replied uneasily. Things were not going as she planned. She
wanted Micheal to herself.
With that the three walked into the breakroom.
Interrogation time.
