Elizabeth eventually made her way towards Jo's truck and sat in the cabin trying to calm down. She noticed that Jonas pulled out his DOT 3 machine and she cringed when she noticed Bill had seen it also. Bill was now trying to kill Jonas for stealing their design. She shook her head and went back to reading a magazine she found.
"Not even getting in the middle of that…" She grumbled to herself.
"You stole my design, you son of a bitch! What you think, I wasn't gonna find out about this?!" Bill shouted angrily as he tried to pummel Jonas.
"Hey, guys, can you get this loser off me?!" Jonas shouted to everybody and both groups tried to pry Bill off of him.
"Back off! Back off! It's not worth it!" Dusty tried to push Bill back.
"What is the matter with you?" Jonas shouted at Bill.
"You stole my design, you son of a bitch!" Bill shouted angrily but Rabbit tried to intercept.
"Bill, calm down!" Rabbit urged his friend and Jonas rolled his eyes.
"Would the March Hare kindly get the hell out of the way so I can find out what the hell the Mad Hatter is talking about?!" Jonas shouted angrily and Rabbit glowered at the man.
"Rabbit…" Bill started and his friend look over at him. " 'Duck' Season." Bill offered and Rabbit nodded and ducked out of the way as Bill lobbed his fist at Jonas clipping him in the eye.
"JESUS!" Jonas held his face in pain.
"Dorothy! You took her, you damn thief!" Bill shouted angrily and Jonas now appeared smug even though his face was hurting.
"Oh I get it. You want to take credit for my design. Is that it?" Jonas asked and Bill shook his head.
"You're a liar. She was our idea and you know it!" Bill spat angrily and Jonas smirked again.
"Unrealized idea, unrealized." Jonas snapped back smug once more.
"That ain't worth shit!" Bill shouted venomously.
"Guys, guys. All my guys, get a grip on yourselves. We both know he'll never get that thing up in the air." Jo snapped at her guys then she looked smugly at Jonas.
"That's right!" Beltzer nodded trying to get Bill to calm down.
"Well let me enlighten you people! This baby has satellite comlink. We've got on-board pulse Doppler, we've got NEXRAD real time. Today, we're gonna make history. So stick around. Cuz' the days of sniffin' the dirt are over." Jonas still explained and Rabbit glared at him this time.
"Better than what you sniff." Rabbit snapped
"We'll see who gets their first, pal." Bill snarled while being led away.
Oh, and by the way, I really enjoy your weather reports!" Jonas taunted Bill again and Bill tried to dive past Dusty and Beltzer to get back to him.
"You slime! I ain't through with you yet! Come on! Come here! Come on! Come on! Get your hands off me! I'm all right! Okay!"
"He's a corporate kiss-butt, man!" Joey offered quietly and Jo looked at Bill sadly.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you." Jo admitted referring to the fact that she knew that Jonas had stolen the design.
"One day. I'll give you one day. Whether she flies or not I'm gone." Bill warned Jo who nodded.
"Honey, is everything okay?" Melissa asked worriedly.
"It's okay, everything's fine." Bill tried to calm her nerves.
"Are you sure?" Melissa tried again.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything's okay." Bill nodded.
"Okay." Melissa didn't look convinced but let it go for now.
"Listen, I'm gonna hang out here and get some air. Why don't you get us some cold drinks." Bill nodded towards the snack place.
"Okay, sweetheart." Melissa nodded and the whole scene dissipated.
Elizabeth looked up from the magazine she was reading and saw the fight was over, so she kept reading the magazine.
"Hey, man. What's up?" Dusty asked Bill when he saw Bill sifting some dirt through his hand.
"Goin' green." Bill mentioned and Dusty smiled.
"Greenage." Dusty perked up excitedly.
"Saddle 'em up." Bill ordered Dusty who nodded happily.
"You got it, boss!" Dusty started to round up the crew.
"Honey, I got you a lemonade…" Melissa mentioned to Bill who interrupted her.
"We gotta move out. Listen, follow us in the truck, but stay behind Dusty's van, you'll be safe back there. I gotta go with Jo. Okay, let's move out, people! Let's go!" Bill mentioned and headed over to Jo's truck.
"Where are we goin'?" Melissa asked but nobody listened to her and everybody started to grab their gear up and head out.
Bill grabbed Jo's truck keys from her mouth.
"Thanks, I'll drive." Bill mentioned and took the drivers side startling Elizabeth who was still reading.
"What's up?" Elizabeth asked worriedly when Bill sat beside her. She looked over when the passenger side door opened and Jo got in the other side of her and her face paled. "Oh shit…just let me get out and head to another vehicle…"
"Too late, everybody's mobilized." Bill shook his head and started the truck.
"I so did 'not' want to be stuck with you two in a small enclosed space." Elizabeth grumbled darkly.
The caravan was now in action and the three of them could hear from the others radios. Dusty was singing off key once more to his loud rock music, Haynes and Beltzer were singing to Oklahoma as loud as they could, and Preacher was listening to the William Tell Overture.
"So…" Jo started and Bill glanced over.
"So…" Bill answered her and Elizabeth rolled her eyes.
"Oh this isn't awkward at all…" She grumbled sarcastically because she was sitting between them. Jo smirked at her while Bill rolled his eyes this time.
"Amazing coloring there, isn't it?" Jo asked and Bill nodded.
"Yeah, look at those mammatas. Bet those tops have got to be spiking at about 40,000." Bill looked out at the clouds.
"That's a good thing." Jo nodded Elizabeth saw the look on her friend's face and hid a groan of despair knowing she was about to delve into talking about Melissa.
"That's a very good thing." Bill mentioned agreeing with her.
"She work at the station, is that where you met her?" Jo asked and Elizabeth closed her eyes in defeat.
"Jo." Bill warned her and Jo looked over at him curiously.
"What?" Jo asked confused.
"I don't want to fight." Bill tried again and Jo scoffed.
"I'm not fighting, I'm talking." Jo explained to him and Elizabeth let out a whine.
"I don't want to fight." Bill ended the argument and Elizabeth knew it was going to happen in just a few seconds.
"She's nice." Jo stated simply and Bill looked at her in triumph.
"HAH!" He shouted and Elizabeth looked longingly at the door wondering if she could dive past Jo to get out.
"Uh-oh, she's not nice?" Jo asked smirking at Bill.
"Please guys, not while I'm stuck between you with no where to run…" Elizabeth complained darkly.
"I know what you meant!" Bill taunted Jo and Elizabeth slumped down in the seat.
"Forget it…" Elizabeth grumbled in defeat. "Nobody ever fucking listened before, why would they listen now?"
"You do?" Jo asked Bill still ignoring Elizabeth.
"Yes, so don't, don't do this!" Bill shot back at Jo.
"Okay, I'm making extremely civilized conversation here. You're biting my head off. Jesus!" Jo argued again.
"Yes. She's very nice. No, she doesn't work at the station she's, uh, she's a therapist." Bill finished and Jo bit her lip and nodded.
"Oh." Jo paused slightly. "Yours?" She suddenly asked making both Elizabeth and Bill react.
"FOR FUCKS SAKE JO!"/"CHRIST!" Elizabeth shouted and Bill growled angrily.
"What?" Jo asked curiously.
"You couldn't resist, could you? Come on!" Bill snapped at her acerbically.
"I'm not saying you need therapy!" Jo fired back and Elizabeth gave her a dark look. "I'm NOT saying that!" Jo argued with Elizabeth who didn't even look convinced and didn't even need to speak. Elizabeth just shook her head and opted not to say anything.
"What?" Bill asked suddenly hearing what Jo said.
"I'm not…" Jo sighed trying to save her ass again.
"Wait. I need therapy?!" Bill asked incredulously.
"I didn't say that." Jo shook her head.
"I need a therapist?" Bill asked again and Elizabeth looked longingly at the door once more wondering if she could just throw herself from the moving car.
"I didn't say that!" Jo snapped at him again.
"What could I possibly need a therapist for?" Bill asked not letting it go.
"I don't know." Jo shrugged.
"You're the doctor, tell me!" Bill argued and Elizabeth covered her ears lightly singing Raindrops keep falling on my head to drown out the fighting.
"I don't know, inability to finish things?" Jo fought back and Elizabeth covered her ears harder.
"Finish things?" Bill asked incredulous again.
"Rushing into things you can't quite commit to…" Jo tried to tick off what Bill could have problems with and Bill interrupted her.
"Commitment?" Bill snapped at her.
"You asked me." Jo shrugged with a smirk.
"Look.." Bill started warningly and Jo put her hands up.
"You asked me!" Jo snapped this time.
"No, that is bullshit! Look, I may have walked out…" Jo interrupted Bill again.
"You asked…" Jo trued again both ignoring the loud singing of Raindrops keep falling on my head from Elizabeth.
"But at least I showed up in the first place! You never had the slightest idea…"
"Okay, there's a whole road thing- coming on up here…" Jo motioned towards the road they were on.
"About commitment and what being married means. Like stability, supportiveness, the house and all kinds of neat stuff like that…" Bill wasn't listening to Jo and they started to veer off of the road.
"Can I drive?" Jo asked suddenly making Elizabeth look over at her curiously.
"No." Bill snapped at her.
"Then would you?" Jo asked pointedly making Elizabeth look out the window and her eyes went wide.
"HOLY SHIT!" She shouted and Bill looked noticing finally they were off road and about to crash into a tractor.
"Whoa! Dammit!" Bill cursed for a second and Jo smirked.
"Somebody should warn her about your temper." Jo admitted and Elizabeth gaped at her in shock.
"You really can't stop, can you?" Elizabeth asked shaking her head.
"Jo, I swear…" Bill started and Jo cut him off ignoring Elizabeth.
"She obviously has no idea what she's getting into…" Jo mentioned again.
"Stay the hell out of it!" Bill snarled at her making Elizabeth slump in the seat again.
"Big surprise, they don't listen…" She grumbled darkly.
"You know." Jo started and Bill cut her off.
"I know exactly what I'm doing." Bill snarked back at her and Elizabeth just kept her mouth shut.
"What exactly…" Jo kept going.
"What am I doing?" Bill asked as they continued to bicker.
"You know what? As long as you're happy…" Jo started and Elizabeth looked pleadingly upwards.
"please let this end…" She whispered worriedly.
"Thank you! I am happy! I'm a happy person. I'm happy with my life. I'm happy with the way things are going in my life. I'm happy with...with, with…"
"Melissa." Jo supplied and Bill glowered at her.
"I know her name! Yes, I'm happy with Melissa. I am!" Bill didn't really sound convincing but Elizabeth just kept her mouth shut until Jo broke the last straw on her camel's back.
"Okay. You love me!" Jo taunted Bill and this finally set Elizabeth off.
"FOR GOD'S SAKE WOULD YOU BOTH JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP?!" She screamed as loud as she could. Elizabeth breathed in deeply as Jo and Bill stared at her in shock.
"Hey, are you guys gonna wrap this up pretty soon?" Beltzer asked over the radio and Bill snapped back at him.
"WHAT?!" Bill growled back through the radio.
"Oh, nothin. I was just wonderin' if we're gonna chase this tornado, or if you just wanna catch the next one?" Beltzer asked with a smirk.
"Shit!" Bill cursed seeing a tornado nearby and Elizabeth sighed in relief.
"Tim you are a fucking godsend…I am so naming my child after you!" Elizabeth mentioned over the radio before Jo snatched it from her hand.
"Beltzer, is it on the ground?" Jo asked as Bill pushed down on the gas. "Easy, easy, easy!" They turned a corner and Elizabeth had to hold onto the dash board because there was no belt for the middle. "We're moving to intercept guys, get ready to set up." Jo ordered the group.
"You got it!" Beltzer laughed still slightly amused by Elizabeth's reaction.
