Liz tapped her fingers on her desk, the teacher was late, this was so unlike Mrs. Tate, she usaully was on time, maybe something had happened with her family.

Liz didn't want to think like that.

*Stop thinking nonsense!* Liz thought.

Max walked in, and sat down next to her. He looked at her.

"Hi." Liz said.

"Hey. So how is Kyle?" Max asked.

"He's ok, he still doesn't get it about the hand print, he probably thinks I'm weird." Liz responded.

Mrs. Tate then entered the room.

"I'm sorry class, my car broke down, and it took me awhile to get here." Mrs. Tate explained.

Max wasn't paying attention, other things were flying around in that head of his. By the time the class was over, Max hadn't heard a word she said. He just got up and left the room, Liz followed him.

"Max, she wants us to pretend these little baby chicks are our children, and get this...Mrs. Tate paired you and me as parents." Max stopped and turned around. "Parent a baby chick?"

"Yep."

"Great. It doesn't need diaper changing does it?" Max asked.

"No, silly, it's a chicken!" Liz laughed.

"What?" Max asked.

"You really don't know anything about this do you?" Liz asked.

"No."

"Well, theres nothing really to worry about, you just feed them, but not to much, take care of them and keep them clean." Liz answered.

"You mean, baths?" Max asked.

"Yes. No showers, there too little. The chicks are already born, they just need to be taken care of." Liz said. "I'll help you."

"Ok. I'll have to tell my brother, he loves chicken." Max said.

"Yeah, that might be a good idea." Liz answered. "I have to go, I'll see you later."

"Okay." Max said.

Isabel stopped abrutly, she heard a noise. She walked toward the sound, it was smoke filled, and there before her, was a spaceship.

"Oh no, we're not alone." Isabel whispered. She had to tell Max, he would know what to do, he was more rational than Michael. Isabel ran towards there house.

There was a pounding at the door. Max stood up and answered it.

"Isabel, what is the matter?" Max asked.

"U...Max, a UFO, I was walking when I saw a spaceship on Shadow Hill, it has just landed recently, something or someone might be in there." Isabel panted.

Liz was there with Max, studying with him, she overheard this and came over.

"A UFO crash?" Liz asked.

Isabel nodded.

"Ok, let's go." Max grabbed his leather jacket, and slipped it on. He then got Liz's jacket, and helped her put it on. Liz turned, this surprised her, there eyes locked for a minute, and then Isabel broke the gaze.

"Hey, UFO remember?" Isabel said.

"Right." They both answered at the same time.

Max helped Liz up the mountain.

"Your right Isabel, this just landed here recently. I'm going to go inside." Max said.

"I want to come." Liz said.

"No, it could be dangerous, you stay here." Max answered.

Liz sighed and crossed her arms.

Max entered the spaceship. He looked around, it was empty, but somebody had been in here recently. He heard crying in the distance.He walked toward the crying, and then it stopped, he looked around, there was a little thing lying on a bed like object. Max picked it up, it stopped crying. He walked out of the UFO holding something.

Liz ran over, to see what he had.

"Max! That's a baby!" Liz said.

"Why would someone leave a baby in there?" Max asked.

"Someone, with a very cruel heart. Baby's are so sweet!" Liz smiled, and touched his small hand.

"Can we do some research somewhere?" Isabel asked.

"One place...The police office. There secret files, but we could get into trouble." Liz said.

"Maybe we could find out some other place where we can find the information." Max suggested.

"Well, we need to do a blood test, to find out whether or not the child is alien or human. Then that might help us with the answer." Liz answered.

"Good suggestion." Max replied.

Liz laid the baby on the table. It was kicking his feet around, and playing with his blanket.

"Max, keep him still please." Liz asked. She got a toothpick.

Max put his hands on the baby's feet, and pressed down. "Ok. Go."

The baby started crying.

Liz put the toothpick in his mouth (this is the only way, she knew how to do it without hurting him majorly), and poked him a little. She pulled it out and put the sample on a microscope slide, and stuck it under the microscope. Liz looked at it.

"The cells are normal, it's a human baby." Liz said.

"Then how could an alien get a human child?" Isabel asked.

"He could have found it and kept it, or have kidnapped the child, and put it in a incubation tube." Max suggested.

"Right. I think it's time to keep our eyes open. Look in the library, in school, any place you go to, and last resort the county files." Liz said.

"Ok." Max said.

"I'm taking the school." Isabel said.

"We'll take the library." Max and Liz answered.

"Ok. I'll start looking tommorow." Isabel said.

"I have to go Max, I'll help you more tommorow." Liz said. "Bye."

"Okay. Bye." Max answered.

Isabel eyed up the chick. "That would make a good snack."

"Don't even think about it, it's for a class." Max answered.

"Hey, she left the baby! Who will look after it?" Isabel asked, she looked at Max.

Max looked at her.

"You will!" Isabel pointed at Max.

"What! I don't know anything about babies!" Max responded.

"Well, neither do I, and besides, it will be good experience." Isabel said, walking off.

Max frowned, he looked at the baby.It was crying.

"Well...I could hold it." Max said. He picked up the baby carefully. He put the baby on his shoulder.

"This isn't so bad." Max thought. He was petting the baby. Isabel laughed.

"What?" Max asked.

"You don't pet babies silly! You hold, feed, clean and take care of them." Isabel answered.

"Oh." Max stopped petting him. Instead he patted his back gently.

"Max, no...don't!" Isabel said.

The baby threw up on Max's shoulders. Isabel laughed.

"Oh...Isabel take him, will you?" Max asked.

Isabel took the baby, held him and supported his head, while Max cleaned his shirt.

"Well, there's a lesson that was helpful Max." Isabel said.

Max pulled out a book.

ALIENS ON THE RAMPAGE: WHY PEOPLE LOVE THE LITTLE GUY'S.

Max shook his head and went back to the computer, he looked up under another title.

"Any luck?" Liz asked coming up behind him.

"No. I've tried everything." Max answered.

"How about this?" Liz pulled out a book.

CASES UNSOLVED: DO ALIENS EXIST?

Liz opened it, and looked inside.

"This could be our ticket, this talks about crimes that were really weird, and it's an updated version." Liz said.

"Look here--Alien space-craft reported seen by 41 year old Maria Thomas, located in Roswell, New Mexico. Date of sight, Oct. 11, 1999. Liz this is the craft Isabel saw and look--craft spotted on Shadow Hill. Does it talk about the man?" Max asked.

Liz scanned the page. "Yep. Appears to have a tatoo of an alien on his right shoulder and it says the police found a one-month old baby on the ship. It says they caught a glimpse of blond hair. And the man had some type of device called a IType." Liz said.

Max's eyes got wide. "IType?" Max asked.

"What is it?" Liz asked.

"IType is a detinator that if he hits that button it will blow up the whole Earth, only the 9 solar system planets will be left." Max answered.

They looked at each other.
