"So she's not too smart," Lizza remarked when those numbers worked. "Checking recent calls... well, well, will you look at this? A call to Gary Winston's home two days ago. And another four days before that..."

 

Lizza swore softly. "I don't want to speak to soon, but I think we've found the reason my sister got shot."

 

She locked the phone and stuck it back in the purse. "She'd better have an explanation for this." A pause. "But we can't confront her..." She gritted her teeth. "As much as I want to, I know we can't. I'll program the house to keep an eye on her. We'll know everything she does."

 

With that, she stood and left the room."

When Lisa returned to her room, she didn't notice anything different. Her phone was still locked... wait... where was the piece of paper she'd had in her purse? She shrugged it off, figuring she'd taken it out somewhere. Everything appeared to be in order.

 

Milo entered the room. "Hey, Lisa."

 

"Hi, Milo," Lisa answered. "When do you think that writer will get back to writing?"

 

"I don't know," he replied. "He's had a harder day than either of us. Don't worry, this'll all be over soon enough."

 

"I'm tired," she suddenly said. Milo nodded and left the room. When he was gone, Lisa took out her cell phone and hit redial...

Meanwhile, Danni, Lizza, and David had gathered to talk about what Lizza and David had discovered about Lisa.

 

"I just knew her arrival was a bit too convenient," Danni muttered.

 

"So we know she's working for Gary again," Lizza said. "There has to be some way to trap her..."

 

"Hey guys," Milo said, walking into the room. "How are you handling this?"

 

"A little stressed," Danni admitted. Milo nodded.

 

"Lisa's pretty stressed too," he said. "She's starting to drive me up the wall... but she's resting now."

Meanwhile, Lisa was upstairs on the phone. ((JM, is it safe to assume that David's microphone is picking up the entire conversation... perhaps even recording it to something?))

 

"Hello," Gary said. "Good news?"

 

"Very good news, Gary," Lisa answered. "The Protector Sisters are out of the game... one got shot twice and is on the road to recovery and the other is really torn up about it. The Little Playwright is currently clinging to the Actor and demanding answers, shouting something about being a murderer. The Lovebirds are occupied with... well, each other. Milo's busy seeing to it that I'm handling the whole thing ok."

 

"Good," Gary said. "Glad to hear things are working out. Keep me informed."

 

Lisa giggled and promised to do just that. Then, she decided to follow through with what she originally told Milo she'd do and rest.

"What's this about, David?" Milo asked as he entered. Danni, Ryan, Lizza, Kelli, and John were already there, but David had refused to tell any of them why he'd called the meeting.

 

"Lisa's resting," he went on. "Or I'd have brought her too."

"Damn," Milo said softly. "And I was willing to trust her..."

 

"We all were at first," Danni told him.

 

"But we were willing to suspect that she might still be working for Gary," Lizza added. "Before you say anything more, Milo, I have the house watching her all the time. This time, we have her under our watchful eye, just like Gary had you when you worked for the old NURV."

 

"Keep me posted," Milo said.

"Good idea," Milo said. "John, you'd best work on two scripts. One's the real one. The other's the one we'll let Lisa see. Lizza, can we program the house to alert John to whenever Lisa might be coming?"

 

"I don't know," Lizza answered slowly.

 

"It's possible," Kelli said from the bed. "But it'll take a little bit of working."

 

"David and I can help with whatever programming might need to be done," Danni suggested.

 

"Get on it," Milo said. He left the room.

"Sure," Lizza said. She gave him directions. Danni stood and followed David. Lizza led them to the central computer room of the house and set them up to edit the programming.

 

"What do you think?" Danni said when Lizza had left them. "Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes, right?"
