"Yeah, I don't think so," he told his friend with a small smile. He really did think he could live here, he thought he could settle down and find a job and if Liz and him were meant to find each other then they would somehow do that, he truly believed that. So this town could easily find secrets...that was one thing Ma didn't want, people knowing where he came from, he'd make sure no one found out, he would keep to himself and not draw suspicion to himself, he didn't want the FBI getting some call from Richmond explaining weird activities. "I'll keep that in mind," he told the blonde woman keeping note of it, he wouldn't forget it. It seemed as if she was trying to help the two men which made Max trust her just a little bit more, not too much though. He wondered if she had a secret that she was keeping from this town or maybe the whole town already knew her secret...what exactly did she mean by it though?

Max didn't know why Michael was being so trusting of this woman, revealing their names but maybe he should just support his friend...he had trouble doing that from time to time. Max usually wanted it his way but because his way got nobody hurt. He was a stubborn one sometimes and he for now he would try and trust this woman, but not entirely. Sure, she seemed nice enough but he still didn't know a lot about her, he didn't know what her motive was or who she really was. He just felt off and felt like she was hiding something so he couldn't one hundred percent trust her. He just hoped that she was no danger because Max really didn't want to go back to running away and hiding, he was tired of traveling and he wanted nothing more than to stay in one town and have a semi-happy life.

He wondered how old the girl was but he figured she wouldn't tell him, it seemed as if she was hinting at something but he wasn't going to press further with that subject. "Bye," he told the woman. "It was nice meeting you too," he didn't want her thinking he hated her or something, he was just really suspicious and he just couldn't trust easily. Maybe in the near future he could get to know the woman better but for now he had other issues to deal with. One of them being his friend who told the woman their names even though there could be hundreds of Michaels and Maxs but still, the fact that he was just being so calm about it just made the man upset. But Max was also happy to see him, he wouldn't take that factor out, seeing a familiar face, one he had known since he was a kid, made the man smile.

He turned to Michael, "It's been a long time," he told his friend feeling really happy to see him but upset that he didn't tell him he was here until now. "Why didn't you tell me you were here?" He asked wanting some answers finally. The two could finally talk normally as the girl was gone which he made sure of when he watched her walked away and looking through the woods with his eyes to see if she was hiding anyway, even though it was dark. He was just glad, the two had finally been able to make contact, they could have that friendship they had all those years ago...maybe even a better one. He just hoped his friend was as happy to see him even though Max was still a bit upset. "If you told me...I would have taken more precautions, what if they were following you Michael?" He said in a lecture tone.

Michael guessed he didn't mind people knowing his first name like the others did. He knew Maria and Liz both had fake names, which was fine, they could do what they wanted, but Michael never thought of it as a big deal. So someone knew his first name. What was that worth to them? They couldn't do anything with it, and it really didn't tell them anything about Roswell or anything else. And if they were able to put two and two together, he would just have to deal with them. He gave Jesse a fake name the other day, but that was because he was a cop and Michael didn't trust him.

Lexi seemed like a normal, though sexually open, girl. He nodded at both of them comments. Max thought it was a little safe here and that was good enough for him. But Lexi did have a point with how quickly secrets spread in towns like this. Especially since she just said her best friend found out about her and his brother. Though that was a pretty small circle of people, he guessed others found out about them as well. He nodded as she excused herself, briefly wondering if it was a good idea to just let her walk away like that, but Max seemed to think it was ok to let her go, so he didn't bother asking.

"Yes it has." Michael said, for a moment it seemed like Max was only gonna want to catch up. But then, as Michael predicted, the lecture came out. "Cause I didn't want you to tell us that we have to split up again. I just found Maria and if you knew we were both here then you would of told us we had to leave." Michael told him, keeping his voice down in case their visitor was still around to overhear them. He was really worried that Max would of just told him to go away, that it wasn't safe for them all to get this close to each other again. Michael wouldn't listen, he was dead set on being with everyone again, not just Maria.

"I wasn't followed, your the one that had a blonde stalker in the forest. You think I am an amature, I would know if someone followed me." Michael said, back in the day, they were naive that anyone could be following them, but Michael was extra cautious now a days when it came to looking over his shoulder. "Or did you forget that we ran into someone else in the woods near your motel room, Maxwell." Michael asked him, he didn't like being accused of leading someone to Max, if he got even a hint that someone was following him, he would attempt to loose them, and he for sure wouldn't lead them right to Max.

He really didn't want to fight with his best friend on their first meeting in 5 years, but it was the same old Max and that was really annoying to him. Why couldn't he just admit that it was a random weird coincidence that they ran into Lexi tonight? Why couldn't he just be happy for once in his life and be happy to see Michael? Michael guessed he was being a little to harsh on Max and Max just wanted to get answers, still Max didn't have to be that paranoid all the time. Michael just wanted to see his friend again and be with him and all of their friends once again. Was that to much to ask for? A little, tiny bit of happiness?

Even though Lexi seemed like a nice enough girl Max had to let her go, he couldn't entirely trust her as he felt like she was hiding something. Plus, he wanted to have some time with his best friend, no his brother who he hadn't seen for five years. The five years that went by seemed so much longer than what it was. He hated those five years, he was more alone than ever, he was unhappy. He was to the point where he was almost depressed but what kept him going was thinking about Liz and his friends, to know that they were safe and were somewhere in this world hopefully happy. He was wrong about that though, seeing Michael and Maria both of them weren't happy until now at least. Max wasn't sure what he was feeling, he had two of his close friends but still there was Isabel to find, Liz of course and even Kyle, then the group would be complete and they could all be happy...hopefully.

"I saw Maria...I never told her she had to leave, I said that it might be safe enough," he told the man. It actually hurt knowing Michael would think that Max would want the group to split up again after five years. He may be stubborn and not the best leader but he did want everyone back together, that was all he wanted. He wasn't some jerk who wanted to keep his friends away from each other, he wasn't that kind of guy. "But, I'm happy that you two found each other," he told the man with a small smile but was a bit jealous considering he hadn't bumped into Liz, he really wanted to see her...he couldn't wait any longer he had to find the woman before he went crazy. He'd have to ask Michael if he bumped into Liz at some point over the years, he just wanted to know if she was okay.

"I wasn't talking about Lexi," he said to the man with a frown. He just shook his head and sighed at Michael. He was the most stubborn person ever and was so defensive. "Okay, Michael that's enough," the two really didn't need to be fighting right now. "Let's not fight tonight not like this," he told the man. They had just seen each other, now wasn't the time, they needed to talk about what happened over the years and everything was okay between one another. The fight was stupid and the two always bickered so there would probably be another one like this sometime in the near future. He just hoped Michael would listen and stop this fighting, Max was too tired for but at least things were the same no one really changed for the worse, they were the same like they were in Roswell.

"I know, Lexi wasn't some agent, if she was she would have done something by now," he told the man. "I was just being cautious," he said putting his hands up in the air in defeat. "I know this off topic but Michael...any signs of Liz?" He asked the man with hopeful eyes. "I mean have you seen her over the years maybe a couple months ago?" He asked hoping the man would have a good answer for him. If it was a couple months ago then he could track the girl down and hopefully find her, but if it was a few years ago then he would have to continue to wait but at least he could start from there. He just wanted to find her, Michael had Maria so why couldn't Max his love? Did life or even destiny not want him to be with her? He refused to believe that, there had to be a way, he knew that he was supposed to be with her and no matter how long it took he'd find her.
