| �So how did Max react when you told him about the dream?� I ask Isabel and I wonder what Max is saying to Michael right now. �Well at first he thought I was joking and he laughed, so I formed a connection with him and showed him.� Isabel tells me glancing at me. �And?� I ask she is enjoying this too much. �Well he went really pale and looked like he was going to throw up for like five minutes. Then he didn�t believe it. I mean denial is isn�t just a river in. anyway then he got really mad and started saying unlike saint Max things. I don�t think he was very impress with the whole Michael hand under Maria�s shirt.� Isabel finishes and smiles at me before watching the road. �You let him put his hand up your shirt?� Alex asks in shock. �It was a dream no wait a nightmare so it not really my fault� I try to defend my actions. �Do you always moan in your nightmares?� he asks with a questioning look. �How do you know I was moaning? Damn it Isabel is there anyone you didn�t show?� I ask angrily. �No Max said with he had to be scarred for the rest of his life then so did we� she grins. I soon wipe that smile off her face. She was going to pay for this and it was going to be slow and painful. �Welcome to Marathon Texas� Alex says about an hour later in his best pilot�s voice when we finally arrived. �It's just like you drew it, Michael.� Isabel says when we are all stood in front of it. �I told you it was something.� Was all Michael said before walking to the door with Max just a step behind him. Michael tries to unlock front door with key but it doesn't work so Max unlocks the door with his power and I give him a funny look. Since when as Saint Max ever it unlocks used his powers to break the law. �Well we've come this far. Maybe something inside.� He points out �So now what?� I hear Alex ask when we are all stood inside. �Michael try the key again,� Isabel orders. �Nothing.� Michael says sounding frustrated I move closer to with. I don�t know why but something is telling me that he should try again I rest my hand on his arm. �Try it again,� I tell him softly. �There's something here. A room.� He says after a while. �Where?� Max questions. �I don�t know. Its hidden� he tells him. �The key, Michael.� Isabel orders and Michael give it to her half heartily. �Jackpot, Maximilian� Michael mutters using one of his many pet names for Max when we find the room. Max and Isabel enter first ready to attack, then Alex and Liz and last of all Michael and me defending their backs. Liz, Alex and me keep watch while Max, Isabel and Michael start to grab Files and papers. I move closer to Alex when I see a rat. Gross. �We got to go now,� I tell everyone when I hear someone coming. �Isabel� I call when she fails to move. She seems to be in a trance as she stares at what seems to be a necklace. �Isabel� I call again and this time she snaps out of it and is following us down a tunnel that Liz had found early. We split up again into the different cars. I look at Isabel who is quite and seem anxious. I look back at Alex who has fallen a sleep I turn back round and look at of the window. This was going to be a really long drive. TBC |
