Chapter one
The telephone ring echoed throughout the loft as Mimi, Roger and Mark sat talking.
"Speak!" Chimed the answer machine.
"Hey guys, It's Benny please pick up. Look their was an accident in the subway this morning, I wanted to make sure you guys were all ok."
Standing up Mimi went over to the phone pushing the speakerphone button.
"What Benny?" Mimi said annoyed at his sudden concern.
"Ok, were fine at least until your ass lies about rent again." Roger Commented coldly looking at the phone.
"How dare you ask if were ok when you know what you did before was wrong." Mark commented.
"Look I told you I was sorry and I tried to make it better. "
"Yea, by trying to make us stop Maureen's protest so your father-in-law could take over and build what, Cyberland." Roger said now joining Mimi by the phone.
"So is it just you guys then?"
"What do you think? We are the only one's talking aren't we." Mimi said sarcastically.
"Where's Angel, Collins, Maureen and Joanne?"
"What so you can catch them doing something you think is illegal." Roger said Sneering.
"Maureen is with Joanne at the law firm most likely arguing again and Angel and Collins are at a life support meeting. Which should have gotten over an hour ago. I wonder if their ok." Mimi said going from annoyed to worried.
"Their was a subway accident this morning around 9a.m." Benny said matter-of-factly.
"Shut up Benny, your going to make this worse." Roger snapped.
"Yea, Mimi they probably got side tracked with each other. Maybe they decide not to go to life support this morning." Mark added in trying not to think of the worse.
"Angel always goes, she never misses a life support meeting. What if something did happen to them? Roger, we have to go down there."
"No, Mimi I'll check. It's pretty bad down there. I mean they have the fire department and the police department down there along with lots of other rescue teams. " Benny said then hung up the phone.
"Benny, he's just sucking up to us now. He thinks if he does good then we will forgive him." Roger rambled angrily.
"I'm not sitting around and waiting, Benny can forget that. Angel and Collins could be severely wounded or even dead. I'm not waiting." Mimi said standing up and grabbing her coat.
As soon as Mimi opened the loft door up came Joanne and Maureen on the stairs. Joanne sported a look of concern on her face and Maureen looked as if she didn't fully know what was going on.
"Pookie, please tell me what's going on. Why did we have to come here after hearing about the subway accident on the radio. " Maureen begged following behind Joanne.
After hugging Mimi Joanne turned to her lover a stern looking on her face.
"Collins and Angel may have been on the subway. I'm hopping they wasn't or at least that they are ok."
"We are heading down their to try to find them. I already checked Angel's loft and she and Collins are not there. " Mimi explained.
"We can use my car." Joanne offered.
Panic had stuck them all, Angel and Collins were missing. As they filed out the door the phone rang again. They stood frozen awaiting for the answering machine to pick up. They wondered if it was Benny with good news or with bad news. Had they found the mangled bodies of their dear friends or was it Collins and Angel calling to say they were all right?
