jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 "Yeah boo-hoo you're bored. Meanwhile we got a man who got shot in the arm who apparently must work harder because you're bored."
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "Bored?" Lisa shot back. "You think I'm bored?" She pointed to her arm... it was in a sling. "Need I remind you how I came to be with all of you?" She shook her head. "I'm far from bored... I'm more scared than bored, okay? You're not the only ones Gary wants dead..."
jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 "You're right. I'm sorry. But the writer's a bit stressed right now, so we're all going to have to wait."
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "Time..." Milo muttered. "The very thing we need most of... is the very thing we don't have." "We'll survive," Danni said firmly. "We've done so to this point and I'm not about to give up now." "Good," Milo said. He guided Lisa back up the stairs and to her room.
jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 "Maybe we'd be better off without her." Muttered David.
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "Well Milo seems rather intent on keeping her around..." Danni answered slowly. "For my part, I'm with you... we don't know how truthful her story is... she could be faking the injury... she may have called those guys and told them where to go." She shook her head. "And Milo just up and welcomed her in! How do we know she's trustworthy?" Her voice began to sound a little panicked. "Are we gonna have to get out of here?"
jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 "Hey, don't worry, this is the safest place we can be, anyway. We wouldn't be any better off in a motel." He said, putting his arms around her.
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "Oh, I suppose you're right," Danni sighed. "I just..." she let her words trail off into silence, trying to think of what she wanted to say.
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "I..." Danni said, trying to find the words. "I-I guess... I guess I just don't trust her..." She frowned. "She got close to Milo once and betrayed him... I half wonder if he's letting it happen again."
jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 "I guess it's our responsibility to make sure it isn't."
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "I guess so..." Danni said uncertainly. "I... I just don't like second guessing him... I mean, he was smart enough to get himself out of the Synapse problem."
jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 "Yeah, but he can still make mistakes. Never hurts from looking at something from two perspectives."
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "I guess you're right," Danni said, sounding more certain this time. "So what do we do, then?"
jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 "Well, we're stuck indoors, we've got some time to kill...."
jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 "We need to monitor her at all times, we can't let her send out any kind of signal, phone call, online, or anything like it. Searching her belongings would also be a good idea."
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "Sounds like spying to me," Danni said. She didn't sound too impressed, but she sighed. "I don't suppose we have much of a choice."
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "Tell me what you want me to do," Danni said. "Let's get started. Should I distract her long enough for you to look through her stuff?"
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 "Great..." Danni muttered. "How'm I supposed to do that? Milo's with her... and they just went back to the room... I suppose..." She stood and went to the room. Knocking softly, she entered. "I was just wondering if either of you are hungry?" she said. Both of them nodded and looked at her as if they expected her to bring them some food. Danni turned to do just that when Lizza poked her head into the room. "No food on the carpet... down to the kitchen for it." Milo and Lisa stood and followed Danni down to the kitchen. Danni mentally thanked Lizza. They passed David and Danni grinned at him as if to say, "It worked!"
jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 David quickly headed up to her room and began rummaging in her purse.
Writer Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 Aside from the usual makeup, wallet, cell phone, and loose change, Lisa's purse had a single sheet of paper, folded up in half and then again in half. When unfolded, the sheet was revealed to be completely blank. The cell phone was locked by a numeric password... four digits.
jokemaster Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 David kept the blank sheet of paper, then went to looking inside drawers, closets, under the matress, etc.
