| Max turned to his distraught wife and calmly explained. "Liz, I'm making a connection to him to see what's going on. Maybe I can figure out what's wrong with him and bring him to so he can explain." "O-o-okay Max b-but be careful please!" Liz pleaded him. "You know I will." he replied and kissed the crown of her head softly. Isabel came out of her shocked state and slowly made her way over to the couch. She kneeled beside Max, furthest away from Alex's face. "You okay Izzy?" Max asked, truly concerned for her well-being. It was a lot for her to take in especially with everything else that had happened. "Y-y-y- yeah, I'll be okay Max. Just figure out what's going on please." "I'll try Iz." Max said sincerely. He embraced Isabel briefly and then turned back to Alex. Both Liz and Isabel held their breath as Max put two fingers on each side of Alex's temple and closed his eyes in concentration. 5 minutes later Liz started to get worried and was contemplating on calling Michael. But then Max drew in a long, ragged breath and sat back on his legs. Liz rubbed his back soothingly. "Did you find anything Max?" Isabel asked desperately. //You okay babe?// Liz asked her tired husband silently. //Give me a minute sweetness.// //I'm here for you.// //I know.// "Max???" Isabel asked again when Max didn't say anything. "Iz, he's fine, he's just tired I think. He should be out of it for a while." Max informed them. "Okay...." Isabel said not really convinced. Liz pulled herself as close to Max as possible as she resumed staring at Alex. Max wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tightly as he tried to regain his senses. Isabel lifted Alex's head gingerly and sat down with his head resting in her lap. Max and Liz picked themselves up from the floor. Liz sat down in the armchair and Max stretched lightly, trying to work out the kinks in his legs. When he finished, he looked at Isabel and Alex on the couch and decided to call Michael. After a brief conversation with Michael. 'What's up?' 'Get over here now!' 'I'm on my way.' He walked back over to Isabel who hadn't moved since she sat down. He watched Isabel worriedly. She looked as almost as if she was in a...... trance. Nah...she's just in shock....right? He looked over at Liz who also had a confused look on her face. //Do you think she's alright?// Max communicated silently. Liz shrugged as to say 'I don't know'. Then to answer their question Isabel looked up sharply. "We need Alex2." she said simply with a weird look in her eyes. |
