Jack hoped he was just thinking a little too much, maybe he was too inquisitive.
Jack was always like this, he'd be the first to notice that something was wrong because of his 'curiousity kills the cat' type of nature.
Liam sat inside the cell as he looked at Max who had fainted beside him. Liam slowly shook his head in deep thoughts.
Dan and the other officers were already gone and Liam decided to stay in the cell for the night when Dan told him that Max was going to be released in the morning, so he could go back together with Max and also watch out for him.
Looking at his friend he could only shake his head, movies were indeed very different from real stuffs.
Looking at vampires perform in movies, they always looked cool and badass, but looking at Max now, he could only feel pity.
He wondered how Max felt needing to feed on blood on the long term, probably throughout his life. And that wasn't all, if this should continue even he would run out of blood.
Immediately he thought about that, Liam frowned, this was a real issue, they needed someone that could deal with this stuff, someone already experienced in this to tell them how they'd go about it.
Noah?
Liam shook his head at that thought, he felt while Noah was the cause of all these, he might not really be so friendly if he found out that someone knew him being a werewolf.
Liam had been lost in thoughts for quite sometime now when a gentle cough snapped him out of his thoughts. It was Max.
Max sat up slowly while touching his head, he could feel a slight pain on it.
"Hey." Liam said waving his hand at Max.
"What are you doing here?" Max said as he tried to recall what happened. He hit himself so hard that he only fill the pounding pain immediately he woke up.
"What am I doing here? Man ask yourself what you'd have done without me." Liam answered Max's ridiculous question incredulously.
Max stared at Liam and then the bottle on the floor, then he heaved a sigh of relief.
"I would have been dead without you, thanks Liam." Max said slowly with gratitude in his voice.
Just then Liam remembered the discussion between the two girls and thought he'd tell Max.
"I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Max answered.
"Those girls, the ones that wiped Lucas' and Jack's memories, did you see them that night?" Liam asked.
"The night I ....I ...got killed?" Max answered, although it felt strange, that was the only phrase he could think of to represent what happened to him that night.
"Yes."
"No, I didn't, anything the problem?" Max asked with a frown when he saw Liam's solemn look.
"I think they know you, they might actually be the ones that buried you." Liam answered.
"How...how is this possible and how did you know?"
Liam then slowly explained how he heard their discussion, from the very beginning to the end. Throughout Max stared at Liam wide eyed.
"I knew it! I knew you were special man." Max almost shouted in happiness, since turning into whatever he was now, he felt a strange loneliness of being special and different from others.
Even though Liam knew about what was going on and knew what he was, he felt a gap in their relationship.
Liam rolled his eyes at Max's reaction.
"I might be special but I don't....." Liam suddenly paused, his instincts telling him not say what he wanted to.
He looked around in alarm but couldn't see anyone around. But Liam knew better than not to trust his instincts, he always had a sharp instinct, but the way he felt now?
He felt like if he actually said anything now he'd be done for, not only him but Max also, the feeling was too intense.
"What's wrong?" Max asked worriedly seeing Liam suddenly stop.
"Shhhh, I don't know but just shhh." Liam said motioning towards Max.
In Dan's office, Dan and the man that formerly went to give Max his food stared at a device on the table.
"Why did they stop talking?" Dan muttered slowly.
"I dont know but tell me, don't you feel like their discussion is strange? Do you still think I was lying?" The man asked Dan.
Dan breathed a long sigh, he was extremely confused, he didn't know what to believe anymore. His rational mind told him that Max was just an ordinary student.
But what he heard now proved otherwise.
The night he got killed?
Wiped away memories?
Hearing things from a far distance?
They buried him? Then what was he doing here?
Dan's mind was running with so many questions. Questions that he had no answer to.
"They have started talking again", the man leaned to hear what they were talking.
"You are dead man, I wouldn't act your part even if I was paid millions of dollars."
"It's just a movie what do you mean?"
"Look at how we talked just now, you sound like a dead man talking, ha ha ha, well do as well as you did now then you will win the Oscars."
"Silly."
Then everywhere fell silent.
"What was that?" The man shouted, "it clearly sounded like a real discussion just now, how could they be practicing their lines in a cell?" He didn't believe the sudden turn of things just now, he just couldn't.
Dan sighed with relief when he heard Liam and Max's discussion, he had his doubts but he also didn't.
Because the devices recording their voice were put into the walls and no one inside the cell could see them. So how could they suddenly change what they were saying moments ago.
Although it sounded strange, he'd rather believe that they were practicing their scripts than stress himself investigating what he didn't believe.
"Hey drop it, you should know better than anyone the consequences of laying unproven blames on people."
Meanwhile inside the cell Max and Liam felt their back drenched with sweat. If their voices were actually being listened to as Liam predicted then that was problem.
They just hoped that their act just now will clear away any doubt.
