Prologue
A man about 6' tall with blondish hair stood in front of the laundry-mat and went inside.
"Hey, we're closed" the owner said.
The blond man took out a gun and shot the owner.

Now, the same man is standing in front of the Albuquerque Police Department, reporting the horrible crime.
"I heard a gunshot so I decided to check it out, when I did, I saw the killer run away and the owner was dead." he said.
"Do you know what the killer looked like?" the sheriff asked and the man nodded.
"This is our personal artist, describe the killer to him and we'll put up wanted posters" the sheriff told him.
"When you capture the young girl, give her to me, I work for the FBI and we've been looking for this girl for a long time" he said.
"We'll need to see your ID" the sheriff said.
The man took out his ID and showed it to him.
The sheriff studied the ID and realized that it was authentic and he nodded, signaling for the FBI agent to go to the artist.
"Donald Lydecker" the sheriff read.

At the Crashdown...
"Order up!" Michael said.
Liz went over to Michael and asked where the delivery was to be made.
6857 Rumberour Blvd.
"You sure you wanna take this order? It's a rough crowd" Michael warned.
"I can handle it" and Liz took off.
Just then, a Roswell county deputy went into the diner and put up a wanted poster and everyone went to look at it...including Max, Michael, Maria, Isabel, Tess and Alex.
What they say horrified them, the wanted poster picture was of Liz.

Part 1
Liz was on her bike pedaling to Rumberour Blvd.
She finally got there and knocked on the door. She gave the order to the man who scurried away from her as fast as Zack did.
She walked back to her bike when she saw it...the picture, a wanted poster...of her.
She got on her bike as fast as she could and pedaled as fast as she could to the abandoned building she had seen on her way here.

Somewhere in New Mexico...
Zack walked into a gas station to take a pit stop. On his way out, he saw a wanted poster...of Liz.
He immediately drove to Roswell and looked for her.

At the Crashdown, in the kitchen...
"Come on, you don't think Liz killed that guy, do you?" Michael asked.
"Well, she has been actin strange and weird ever since she came back from Florida" Tess said.
"That's bull and you know it! We are talking about Liz Parker, the girl who kept our secret, jumped off a bridge for Max and who knows what else?" Michael defended.
"I'm with Michael, Liz may seem different to us, but she's no killer" Maria sided.
"Guys...if we saw the poster, that means, everyone in Roswell have seen it too. What if she's been arrested or something?" Alex said worried.
Max was shocked, he didn't want to believe it but now, Liz was so different to the one he had fallen in love with.
At that moment, Sam walked into the kitchen.
"Where's Liz?" he asked.
"We don't know, why are you looking for her? You want the reward?" Tess taunted.
Sam gave her the look of death and that made her shut up.
"I just remembered, she went to deliver an order in Rumberour Blvd. That's the toughest crowd there is in Roswell, what if she's in trouble?" Michael shivered while Sam left the Crashdown and headed for Rumberour.
Maria wasn't feeling so good and she sat down and held her hand in her hands.
"What's wrong?" Isabel asked concerned.
"I'm not feeling so good" Maria answered and fainted.
Max went and called an ambulance for Maria and they went to the hospital with her, already forgetting about Liz's dilemma, everyone except Michael and Max.

Where Liz is...
She went into the building to find it NOT abandoned, but with gangs there.
When they saw Liz, they recognized her from the poster and ran after her.
Liz ran and went into Sector 6...which was crowded with police.
She snuck into a store and hid while the police were talking about her.

Zack made it to Rumberour Blvd and couldn't find Liz anywhere, then he remembered that he saw an old building on his way here and hoped that Liz was there.
He got into a car and drove there. When he got there, he saw a bunch of gangs and heard them talking about a girl.
"How could you let her get away? She's worth $3,000 if we catch her!" one guy said.
"She went into Sector 6, the police sector, I couldn't go in there" another said.
'Sector 6' Zack thought and drove there.

The doctors rushed Maria into the emergency room and the pod squad and co. waited for anything that could help Maria.
A doctor came out of the room and had a sad look on his face.
"What's wrong with her?" Michael asked frantically.
"Are you family?" the doctor asked.
"I'm her boyfriend!" Michael shouted.
'Good enough' the doctor thought.
"Maria has an advanced form of...blood cancer. There's practically no cure for that, she only has 3 months to live" the doctor told them.
Michael and everyone else just stared at the doctor.
"Is there ANY cure?" Max asked.
"There's only one but it's almost near impossible" the doctor said remorseless.
"Tell us" Alex said.
"If Maria gets a blood transfusion with someone that has the same blood type as hers, which is AB-negative. But the catch is, she would need a lot of the blood to kill the cancer, that the person who's giving her the blood...they would die"
"Isn't there any blood donors?" Isabel yelped.
"AB-negative is the most rare type of blood and we're all out" the doctor then left them.
"I better call her mom" Michael volunteered.
Ms. Deluca and Sheriff Valenti came as quick as they could and Max told them the bad news and Ms. Deluca broke out in tears.

Zack finally found Liz who was terrified.
"What am I gonna do Zack?" Liz cried.
"You have to leave Roswell...for good"
"How? The checkout points are crawling with police, how am I gonna get outta here?"
"We'll get out of Roswell, in the morning when the police are changing shifts, now, we need a place to crash" Zack said.
"We can go to the Parkers's cabin, it's only a 10-minute drive from here" and they left.

Part 2
They drove to the cabin and went in.
"We'll crash here and leave at dawn" Zack said.
"I'll get some blankets" Liz went and got the blankets. When she came back, she found Zack...drinking a bottle of wine from the Parkers's stash.
"We might as well take advantage of the cabin" he reasoned.
"I guess, pour me one will ya?" Liz asked and Zack obeyed.
"You're doing the right thing Lizzie" Zack whispered.
"Then why doesn't it feel like it?" Liz said remorsefully.
A lock of hair fell down on Liz's face and Zack brushed it away, giving them both a touch that they have longed for.
"When we first broke out of Manticore, I was scared of everything. The next morning I was walking around Wyoming. All these people were going to work. But all I knew was that they were the enemy and I was completely outnumbered" Zack told her.
"It was like that for me too. But then the Parkers found me. I almost killed them but somehow, I knew that they would take care of me" Liz compared her story to Zack's.
"Then I went to school and met Maria. She was my best friend and we were just two girls just living out our life" Liz admired.
"You know, a part of me wants the same things you do...friends...family...a home...someone to care for" Zack wishfully said the last part while he looked into Liz's eyes.
"You were right about something Zack, I don't hang out with them anymore" Liz whispered regretfully. "They just can't understand me, how can you be friends with a person without knowing their true nature...as a cold-blooded killer?"
"You're not a killer" Zack said.
"Yes I am. Do you know how many men we've killed Zack? At least over 25 and we were only 5 years old" Liz said sadly.
"We were only kids, we didn't know" Zack tried to comfort her.
"But we still killed, we have blood on our hands and nothing will ever change that" Liz went over to the window and stared at the forest.
Zack just kept on looking at her, praying that somehow he could comfort her when he knew that he couldn't. He just walked over to her and pulled her in for a long, sweet, warm embrace that she gratefully returned with full force.

Michael held Maria's hand while she was sleeping. Suddenly, she woke up.
"Michael?" Maria whispered.
"I'm here"
"Where's Liz?" Maria asked.
"We don't know, she's probably arrested, since she looks like that killer but she'll be out before you know it"
"I feel so guilty for the way I've been treating her, she's my best friend and I betrayed her" Maria started to cry.
At that moment, Max and the others walked in.
"Hey, you're awake!" Alex cried.
Maria could only smile at his happiness. Then, Maria felt drowsy and she told them that she was gonna sleep and they left the room.
"She wants Liz to be here" Michael told them.
"Where is she?" Isabel asked.
"Doesn't she have her cell phone with her? Why don't we call her?" Alex suggested.
Michael went and found a payphone. He started to dial in her number.

Ring. Ring.
"Hello?" Liz answered.
"Liz? I have some bad news" Michael started.
"What is it?" Liz asked worried.
"It's Maria, she's in the hospital"
"Why?"
"She has blood cancer, she really wants you to be here" Michael told her.
"I'll be right there" Liz then hung up and started for the door when Zack stopped her.
"Where do you think you're going?" Zack shouted.
"To the hospital" Liz answered and opened to door and started to walk to the car.
"You're not going anywhere Liz!" Zack then pinned her to the ground but Liz kicked Zack's knee that was still a little bit injured and he fell down but quickly got up. They circled around each other and Zack pulled Liz into a headlock but Liz got out.
"Outta my way or I go through you" Liz yelled.
"You're gonna get caught" Zack reasoned.
"I don't care" Liz answered and walked to the car.
Zack tackled Liz and they both fell down, Zack pulled her into another headlock, "get your head in the game" he yelled.
Zack pulled her backwards and Liz flipped him down and pinned him.
"My head's still in the game." then Liz drove away.

Part 3/Epilogue
Liz rushed in the hospital and quickly found Maria's room.
"Michael? How is she?" Liz asked.
"She's sleeping right now"
"Can I have a minute alone with her?" Liz asked and Michael let her in.

Liz walked into Maria's room and saw her with IVs hooked up to her arm. Liz took a seat and pulled out the blood transfusion cord and started to transfuse her blood.
"Michael told me that you needed blood so here it is. Manticore doctors thought it would smart for X5s to have any type of blood just in case we needed it" Liz talked to herself.
Liz could feel her blood going out and into Maria. She prayed that the transfusion would work.
Liz started to remember all the times she and Maria had spent together.
Liz started to doze off while the blood transfusion was still underway.

"She's been in there for 20 mins. already" Max worried and looked inside the room and saw Liz giving blood to Maria.
"We gotta get in there" Isabel urged and they started to knock the door down, causing a doctor to come.
"What's going on in there?" the doctor asked and looked inside and saw Liz...the face of the killer.
"Security!" the doctor yelled and they came and busted the door down.
Liz heard a noise and woke up, in time to see that the blood transfusion had stopped and she was being dragged outside.
"Did it work?" Liz groggily shouted.
"Let's go!" one cop yelled as Max and the others were looking at her intensely.
Liz started to fight back and punched one cop down but she was too weak and staggered and the cops cuffed her and dragged her out of the building and drove her to the precinct.
Max just kept on looking at the one he loved being dragged away.

Zack walked into the Albuquerque precinct and walked into the sheriff's office.
"She isn't the killer, I am" Zack said.
"We're gonna need more proof" he said.
Zack gave them the supposed 'murder' weapon (how he got it, I don't know) and the fingerprints matched so they arrested Zack.

"You're clear to go" the police said to everyone who was in the cell for looking like Liz.
Liz walked outside, curious of how she was safe...until she saw Zack being shoved into a car.
Liz looked at Zack so intensely as he did her and felt her heart breaking.
She mouthed the word 'why?' to Zack and he just looked at her before going into the car.

"He gave himself up for her?" Lydecker said unsurprised.
"Yes, it seems like he cares a lot for the girl" the officer said and left.
"I thought I'd taught him better...oh well, we still got one of my kids back and that's all that matters" Lydecker said with a devious smile.

Liz went back to the hospital and saw Michael and the gang.
Michael quickly got up and ran to her, "are you ok?"
"Depends on your definition of ok" she answered sadly, and walked towards Maria.
"How's she doing?" Liz looked down at Maria sleeping.
"It's a miracle, the blood cancer is completely gone" Alex said.
"It is a miracle, I'm surprised you're still alive, the doctor said that the blood donor would lose so much blood that they'd die" Tess said.
"Are you ok?" Max asked worried.
"How can I be?" and Liz left the room and headed for home, if there is such a thing now.

Liz went home after she checked up on Maria. She turned on the TV. and watched the news for her daily dose of the world, trying not to cry for Zack.
The strangest accident happened about a half an hour ago, the car that was carrying a serial killer was hi-jacked and the killer is nowhere to be found. Our sources tell us that the car was headed to another facility for delinquents.
The news anchorwoman said and immediately Liz knew that she was talking about Zack.

Liz sat on her balcony and wrote in her journal.
It's hard to believe all that's happen to me these past years. I was shot and was healed by an alien, I fell in love with him. My brother Zack found me and left me because I wasn't following orders like a good little soldier.
Yet again, I was careless and I was in danger and who comes to help me? Zack. He told me to leave Roswell and I was about to...until I heard Maria had blood cancer and the only way to cure her was a blood transfusion that would kill the blood donor. I was so worried that I fought Zack and went to the hospital, gave her a blood transfusion and got arrested.
I thought that I was headed straight for Manticore until an angel saved me. In other words...Zack. He gave himself up for me. He threw away his freedom for me...again. Why Zack, why? I deserve to go back to that hellhole. I was ready to go back to Manticore and yet, you saved me, as you have so many times before. I don't deserve it.
The news says that your car was hi-jacked. I bet it's Manticore people. I just pray that you got out.
Then, Liz did something that she hasn't done since she was in Manticore...she prayed to the Blue Lady.
Suddenly, she couldn't take it anymore and she cried...for all the times she and Zack fought, for everything she did to upset Zack when he was protecting her...for causing Zack to give up his freedom for her.

Zack's POV
After you fought me Lizzie, I went straight to the precinct, praying that I wasn't late to save you. It was easy to give myself up, why wouldn't it be? I was saving YOU in the process and that is what I've always promised you.
Soldiers aren't supposed to have these moments. They're supposed to be hard and unfeeling. But I'm not and I'm glad, it means that I'm human, that we're human.
Ever since the escape in 2009, I've always been on the run. Never stopping, whose only purpose was to protect my family...until I found you again. I knew that my feelings for you would resurface when I saw you...you were waitressing at the Crashdown and you had your hair down. I could still remember the way I felt. I felt like a human being because I had emotions.
When you wouldn't leave Roswell, I was crushed because I knew you were staying because of HIM...Max Evans. The one you love...the one who stole you from me. Granted, I never had you in the first place but we've never fought before, and now we have. I hate him. I hate him for loving you when I know that his love for you would NEVER be equal to mine and I hate him because I know that he can always be there for you when I have to travel the world to check up on our siblings. I hate him for making you love him. I hate him for stealing the one shred of love and humanity that I had left.
They're shoving me into the car right now and I can see you...looking at me with guilt. Don't feel that Lizzie. Please don't. I don't want you to feel guilty for my decisions. I want you looking at me with love, not guilt. Never guilt.
I'm in the car right now and suddenly, it stops. We're being hi-jacked. It's Manticore people and they're here for me.
I try to fight back but they've got X7s here and I lose. I'm on my way to Manticore now.
I guess this is the last time I'll have these moments...my moment of weakness.
