| ”Ok, Isabel, you and Max take this way after we get in, we must cover as much ground we can,” Michael said and pointed out the direction on the map of the base. ”Where are you going?” Isabel asked, she didn’t want him to go alone, without help. ”I’ll take the east and north ends,” Michael said and gave the ’don’t mess with me’ look to Isabel. ”Here is the ear pieces Valenti gave us,” Max said and handed them out to the aliens. Alex and Liz stood listening, they also wanted to go, not just wait around. ”What do we do?” Alex asked them. ”You’ll take care of the cars, we can’t protect you inside.” ”But…” Alex started. ”No buts…” Michael said and got in one of the cars and started driving with the others right behind him. ********** ”GO” Michael said and clicked on the watch and ran in his direction, while Isabel and Max ran the other. Michal got to the end of the hall and killed the guards standing there with a raise of his hand. He then started looking behind the doors, after the third door, he found one of the people he was looking for. ”Daddy!” ”Hey, let’s go… Isabel, I got Mary,” Michael said as he picked up his daughter and started running in the direction he came from. ”Get her out, we’ll find Maria,” Isabel answered on the other end. Michael ran trough the tunnel he came in and ended up by the cars. He handed Mary over into Liz´s waiting arms. ”Daddy, what about mommy?” Mary asked sad. ”I am going after her when I know you are safe,” Michael answered and kissed her on the head. ”Liz, take care of her and go.” ”What about the others” she asked as she put Mary in the car and waited for his answer. ”GO, Alex will wait for us,” Michael ordered and watched as Liz drove away with his baby, into safety. He then ran back into the tunnel, he was going after Maria, still hoping she was alive. ”Michael,” Max interupted Michael’s thoughts. ”Yea,” Michael answered into the ear piece. ”We found her” Max answered back. ”Where are you?” Michael yelled as he kept running. ”South wing, room 109” ”I am right there,” Michael answered and put all his last strength into the final run. ******** When Michael finally reached the room, Isabel and Max were standing outside with sad looks on their faces. Michael just ran past them and was almost in the room, when Max took ahold of his arm and stopped his movements. ”Michael don’t go in.” ”Max, let me go,” Michael said and took his arm away from Max reach. ”Michael, don’t,” Isabel begged as tears ran down her face. ”Let me through,” Michael said and pushed his way into the room. But what he found was not a pretty site. ”Maria……” Michael let out as he crumbled right next to her body. Tears ran down his face as he picked her of the table and into his arms. She was dead, she wasn’t coming back, he screwed up yet again. She was his everything. The building started shacking, things started falling around them from shelfs. ”Michael we need to leave,” Isabel said as nicely as she could. ”Maria…” Michael said, he was lost in his grief, he didn’t care about anything anymore, he wanted to die now. ”Michael NOW!” Max said and grabbed ahold of Michael and literally dragged him and Maria out of there. The building blew up right when the four came out of the building and headed towards the car with Alex waiting. How was Michael going to explain to Mary that her mother was dead. That he had let another person down and this time it was his love, his everything. TBC |
