Out of the corner of her eye Danny saw that the hearse was leaving. "Whoa there partner, where ya goin?" Danny turned and looked at her as the big rig tilted her head slightly in confusion.

"Okay..." Maya nodded slowly upon hearing her visitor's name and wondering where Ebony was and if the Viper was still around, "Nice to meet you, Maxwell Eightses... I'm Maya Summers and... I'm a human too... or used to be one... Why am I here...?"
*****
Ebony sighed and settled down to wait her turn. She hadn't left the clinic except to go to the diner and get something to eat and wondering what on earth humans were as they have never existed in her world at all, except as urban legends. Besides, she had nowhere else to go at the moment, so staying at the clinic was the only shelter she had. She wasn't keen on setting out on the road again after being on the run for so long.
These hyoomans sound interesting, she thought as she picked up a magazine to read as she waited, Maybe I can stay in town for a little while longer to learn more about them. That Maxwell guy seemed to perk my interest in them anyway, although I still don't know what his beef is with me. I'm naturally suspicious. Nothing wrong with that.

"It seems so." Isaac chuckled a little, and slurped down the rest of his drink.

Danny gast one last glance at the hearse then returned her attention back to Isaac and smiled. She wasnt thirsty so she just sat there.

Sam saw that Danny hadn't managed to get through, so he followed the Hearse. "I'm sorry for ignoring you." He said as catching up to her. "But listen, I am working on getting you home, back to your world. There has been just too much going on today for me to catch up right away."
"We don't know, but we are working on it." Maxwell said. "And we are working on getting home. There are few others in the same situation."

Rose turned and watched him for a moment then smiled, "Thank you but I dont want to go 'home'." Her voice dropped to just a barely audible whisper. "The only reason I'm in this world is because I was murdered in my last. This place has been what I have always dreamed of. I've found everything I've ever wanted." Rose paused and a tear went down her hood. "The only bad thing that has happened in this world was the death of my husband, Richard. He was an ambulance. A normal one, or a 'local' as you put it."

"I kinda guessed that there were others..." replied Maya, "Why I know this is a bit of a long story... It's a little secret of mine, but I didn't tell Ebony this because I thought that she wouldn't believe me..."

"I'm sorry to hear." Samuel said. The others had told some stories that seemed to be related to death experiences, but for her to be that long she got married and be a widow... "Wouldn't you want to be amongst your people?" He asked.
"No real need for secrets." Maxwell said. "I can convince you of some pretty serious stuff, but I am scared to hell of it. I am not the only one with supernatural power."

Rose looked at him then her eyes strayed to her side where her undercarriage was slightly larger then it should be. "My 'people' killed me...I'm not going to let them harm us-I mean me!" Rose gulped, she had let her secret slip.

"Okay, I guess I'll take your word for it, Maxwell..." Maya shifted uncomfortably on her lift, "So there's other ex-humans like us...? Where are they right now...?"

"So..." Isaac started, attempting to carry on the conversation, "Do you know your way around pretty good? Are there any sights to see? Any freshly paved roads?" Even though Isaac hadn't been a vehicle that long, he had spent many years on the road, and there was nothing better to appreciate than a smooth, freshly-paved road.

Sam sighed. "I see that you all have taken all aspects of cars." He looked at her slightly swollen side. "You have been the longest of all the humans, you may be able to help them adjust to this world until you call can choose if to go or stay."
"At the cafe I think, or most have gone to the motel or apartments we have for us." Maxwell replied. I'm sorry I didn't get to you sooner, our 'early alarm' got distracted."

Maya smiled a bit, "It's okay... but if Ebony hadn't found me out in the desert, I would've perished from dehydration and heat exhaustion... She brought me here to get treated... and the doctors are real nice... Though, I don't know when they're going to let me go..."

Rose thought about it for a moment then nodded, "Alright, I'll help. But just until....the baby arrives..."
