Hey! Sorry this has taken so long to get up, but I just got back from a three week missions trip. So has you can imagine, I didn't have any time for writing or even a computer that I could use.
Anyways, hope you enjoy!
Neal was pushed into the waiting area and told to stay there, or else.
"What happened?" Sara asked, getting up and walking over to Neal.
"What does it look like? They found me." Neal replied, slipping off the doctors coat that he had borrowed.
"No, no. Not that." Sara said, shaking her head, "What did Liza say about Vince Scott?"
"Oh. Him. Well, I guess that . . . Well, I don't think that we should talk about this here." Neal said, taking Sara by the arm and glancing at Peter and Elizabeth as a sign that they should follow him, "Let's go out for some coffee."
"What about Liza?" Elizabeth asked.
"She'll appreciate the fact that we aren't talking about this in the hospital. Trust me." Neal replied, leading the group out the front doors of the hospital.
"Why?" Sara asked curiously.
"Just . . . Because." Neal answered her.
The group walked a ways down the street to the nearest coffee shop, where they all ordered a drink. They sat down at a table in the back corner, then all attention turned to Neal for his story. "Okay, so what happened, now?" Peter asked.
"Well, firstly, when I asked her, she got all panicked and wide eyed. And then she started to tell me that her mother was going to marry Scott, but for some reason they called the wedding off. I didn't get asked her why, though. Then she quickly started to tell me that nobody was to tell anyone at the hospital anything about who we are. Not our names, where we live, anything." Neal told them.
"Wait, why can't we tell people who we are?" asked Sara.
Neal shook his head; "I don't know," he told her, "All she said was that I needed to trust her and just not tell anyone anything."
"Did she say anything after that?" Elizabeth asked.
Neal shook his head again; "No. The nurse found me after that." he explained to the group.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, the nurse had gone back to check on Liza; "How are you doing, sweetheart?" she asked all sweetly.
"Oh, good. Thank you." Liza said with a forced smile.
"That's good. I am so sorry that that man was able to get in and see you. I told him that he wasn't supposed to." the nurse told Liza, "Did he hurt you, or anything?"
Liza shook her head quickly; "Nope. I'm good."
"Okay. Well, from the sounds of it, I'm guessing that you know him," she laughed, "I hop you do. I gave your prescription to him."
"Yes," replied Liza, "I know him. I am . . . Staying with him while I am in town."
"Okay, good." said the nurse, "Oh, and don't worry, we called your step dad and he is on his way to New York. We tried to contact your mother, but the number we have for her is out of service, but your step dad assured us that he would tell her for us." she informed Liza.
"Yeah, I'll bet he did." Liza said under her breath.
"What was that, sweetheart?" the nurse asked, taking one more step towards Liza.
"Oh nothing." Liza replied, raising her voice back to normal volume, "I was just wondering when he was going to be here. But I don't expect you to know the answer to that." Liza said, adding extra sweetness into her voice.
"Oh, actually I do!" the nurse replied with a bigger smile than she had been previously wearing.
"Oh, really? That's awesome! When is he planning on getting in?" Liza asked the nurse, again.
She glanced down at her clip board and back at Liza; "The earliest he could get in is about five days. He apologizes that it is so far away, but that was the earliest flight that he could get."
"That's okay. It will give me time to feel better. I haven't seen him in a while because he has been away for work, so I want to look my best for him." Liza lied to the nurse.
"Okay, great!" the nurse replied, "Call me if you need anything, okay?"
Liza nodded and the nurse left the room.
Liza flopped down onto her pillow; "Oh great. This is going to be interesting." she said to herself with a sigh.
Hey guys! So how was it (other than short, sorry about that. I am still trying to get back into the swing of things)? Please review!
