Writer Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 ((If I understood Antitrust correctly, it takes place in California... that's a good drive from Montana and if my figuring is right, they're meeting somewhere in Idaho. That would probably be about a 6-8 hour drive, I think, if not more.)) Lizza, Milo, David, and Danni were the ones who would meet John. Kelli, Ryan, and Lisa stayed behind. They drove for about seven hours before making it to the town John had specified. There, they got a hotel room in the same hotel he said he'd use and waited. ((John won't know they're there, so he'll just call Danni's cell number to figure out a different place in the town to meet.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt-Man Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 John was sitting in his car outside the building. just waiting, he got out, walked around and stood for 10 minutes, then he called Danni's cell again. "hey? Danni? i'm at the meeting stop, should i be in the open?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 "No," Danni answered quickly. "Drive around a little and find a small restaurant. We'll look for you." She hung up and turned to the rest of the group. Milo decided to voice a concern. "How can we know if they're not already following him?" he said. Lizza laughed. "That's why I'm here," she answered. "If anybody's being followed by anybody, I'll know it." Milo had other objections, but as he and Lizza talked them out, Danni turned to David. "What are you thinking about at the moment?" she asked, her voice a little softer so as not to disturb the other conversation taking place in the room.

jokemaster Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 David grinned "Well first I'm thinking about food, because I get hungry when I'm nervous and you just told him to find a small restaurant" His face grew more serious "Then I'm thinking about wether or not I can trust this guy." He stepped closer to her. "Finally, I'm thinking about wether you'd like to have dinner with me tonight" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 "That's quite a pile of thoughts," Danni laughed. She looked as if she were about to give answers to all his thoughts... the look was right. "First," she said, "you'll not get the chance to eat when we meet him. Second, we're all concerned with trusting him or not. That's why Lizza came with us." She looked straight into his eyes. "Finally, I'd love to." "Is he on his way?" Lizza asked. Danni jumped and looked at her. "To the restaurant, I mean." "Oh!" Danni exclaimed. "Oh, yes, yes he is." "Then we'd best get going," Milo said. They went out to the car and as they went, Danni squeezed David's hand with her own. Then, she slipped into the left back seat. Lizza got in the driver's seat and Milo got in the front passenger seat. That left only the seat next to Danni for David. They drove to a nearby restaurant and Danni went in. John wasn't there, so she came back out and they went to a second one. Danni went in again and came back with the news that John was there... looking rather frightened. "We're here to meet somebody," Milo said. "We've seen he's here." They were allowed to enter and Danni led them straight to John. "Hello, John," she said. She slid into the opposite side of the booth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writer Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 "Gary's stealing information from programmers again," Danni answered. "When the information is stolen, he has them killed off, just like he did when NURV was working on Synapse." "If you'll remember," Milo continued, "I was the one who exposed him for Synapse. Because of this, I was one of his first targets, but he failed to catch me. His next targets were David and Danni, but thanks to their speed they escaped with nothing worse than a bullet through Danni's leg." "Another complication has arisen," Danni went on. "You remember Lisa Callaghan, right? She pretended to be working with Milo, but betrayed him when it really counted. She's back, but Gary tried to kill her too." "This is where I come in," Lizza cut in. She extended a hand in John's direction. "I'm Elizabeth Grant, but call me Lizza. My sister and I have developed a top of the line security system for our own home. Nobody gets in without our permission. Since you're working with us by writing the story we'll use to get Gary's computer, we're inviting you to join us." "What do you think?" Danni said. She glanced at David, trying to read anything of his emotions from his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 David's face was expressionless, but his eyes kept shifting suspiciously from John's face, to measure his reaction, to the street, to check for anyone suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt-Man Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 John was scared, overwhelmed and excited as he shook Lizza's hand "u-um sure, yeah i'll join you" John studdered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 "Good," Lizza said, appearing to relax. Then, before anybody really realized what had happened, Lizza was on her feet and moving for the door. Danni threw a puzzled glance in David's direction and looked at Milo. "I guess we're leaving," Milo said quietly. He got up and ran after Lizza. Danni pushed lightly on David's arm to get him to move and then got up and ran after the other two. "We're renting a car from here," Lizza said. "I'm paying cash... don't need identities thrown around here." She got in the driver's seat of the car they'd brought again and Milo got in the passenger seat. Danni leaned over to David and whispered in his ear. "I think we'll have to postpone that dinner," she said. "Our friends seem rather intent on moving quickly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writer Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 "Anywhere but McDonald's and you've got my participation," Danni whispered back. Everybody got in the car and drove to a rental car place. When they got there, Lizza and Milo went in alone. They came out a few minutes later and motioned for everybody to follow them. They led the group to an older mini-van. This time, Milo got in the driver's seat. And so it was that they began the long trip back to the Grant home. None of them noticed that they were being followed.

Writer Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 Danni went to check on her brother and Milo went to see how Lisa was doing. Lizza found Kelli and she went to greet John. "Welcome to our home," she said. "There's a desk in there... I hear you're the writer. Plenty of paper for you, too." "And a gun in the bottom drawer... just in case anybody gets through our system," Lizza said from the door. "It's not likely, but we do like to be safe."

Writer Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 Ryan and Danni were in the kitchen. Danni was on a laptop and Ryan was rummaging in the refrigerator. As David walked into the kitchen, Danni was saying, "Come on, Ryan! Don't you think about anything but your stomach?" "Sure I do!" Ryan protested. "Who made you that case for your computer?" "Oh, you mean that boxy one that you 'accidentally' glued to my desk?" Danni laughed. They both turned as David entered the kitchen. "Hi, David," Danni said. "Hey, Dave!" came Ryan's somewhat less quiet echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
