Part 3 "So all you want me to do is beat them up? That's easy" Buffy said. "They will be hard to fight Buffy. They have advanced powers and technology." Nessido reminded her. "You obviously didn't meet Adam. ‘She joked. "How will we know who they are?" Michael spoke up. "You have come to age. You will just know." Nessido explained. "How do we stop them? I think that is the most important factor." Max asked. "Yes. I have gotten smuggled information to aid us. Our enemies do not have the same capacity for the human bodies as we do. Once a week for about 2 hours they have to transform into their own bodies. If we can catch them during that time, while they are energizing we have a better chance to kill them then if they were in their human bodies." He said. "That doesn't give us much room for mistakes." Isabel said uncomfortably. Michael put his arm around her reassuringly. "What happens when we kill them? Will they just keep coming?" "Well we find the ship before other bounty hunters come. We get to an allied planet and go from there." "Do you realize you just asked us to move a mountain?" Buffy bit her lip. "I'm only 16. I'm not ready to be a general in an intergalactic war." Max confessed. "Max. I've dealt with interdimensional war, I've dealt with Satan himself and my ex boyfriend even spent time in Hell. I've known just about the lowest of lows but I'm not afraid. Please don't be. If you are afraid you will lose." "Did I miss something?" Valenti said walking in. "Sheriff. This is my cousin Buffy. She is here to help." "Is she an alien?" Valenti asked immediately. "No. She's a vampire Slayer." Isabel informed him. "Welcome young lady. I hope you can help us on our quest." He nodded to her. "I can. And I will." Buffy assured him. "So are we going to go get some Bounty hunters or what?" ************************************************************************************ "Liz. Earth to Liz." Maria waved her hand in front of her friend. "Are you sure you are ok?" "I'm fine. I promise." Liz said quickly and rubbed the counter with the sponge in her hand. "Then can you tell me what was just on the radio?" "No?" Liz grinned. "The Backstreet Boys are doing a surprise charity concert here in a few days. I think it would be a good idea if we go." "Maria. You can't be serious. The Backstreet Boys?" Liz giggled. "I know it's not the kind of stuff you like. Point being it would be fun. Hot guys prancing around on stage? You're telling me you don't want to go? I'll get someone else to go with me." Maria shrugged. "Fine." Liz sighed. Maybe it would get her mind off Max. "Is Michael still not coming in to work?" She asked looking at the new kid heading into the kitchen. "Of course not. And it's Michael. And we don't care remember?" Maria said fervently, looking to Liz for support. "That's right." Liz nodded and picked up her pad and headed to a table full of customers. "Ok. I'll get on the phone about those tickets." ************************************************************************************ "Where do we look?" Max asked looking at Nessido. "Around town. Check the hotels and motels. See if anyone has checked in recently." He said. "Sheriff, how's Kyle?" Isabel asked hesitantly. "He's doing fine." Valenti gave her an awkward smile. "Turn up the radio." Buffy said suddenly. Everyone looked at her. They hadn't really noticed that the radio had been on because it was very quiet. "You heard me." Buffy sighed and went over to the radio. "Get your tickets today folks if you know what is good for you. You don't want to miss this once in a lifetime surprise Backstreet Boy concert in little old Roswell." "You a Backstreet Boys Fan? I am." Tess asked happily. "No.? " Buffy looked at Tess and rolled her eyes again. "Isn't it a little convenient that the Backstreet Boys are doing a surprise concert here? Who better to disguise themselves as?" "You think?" Michael said surprised. "Believe me I've gone on less of an obvious clue than that. We have got to go to that concert. I have a strong feeling about this." Buffy whipped a stake out of her pocket absentmindedly and jabbed at the air. They looked at her. "Sorry. Habit. Ya know stalk and kill?" "I guess we're going to a Backstreet Boys concert." Tess grinned.
