The Phone Call About Lisa
Max picked up the telephone, "Hello?" he asked.
"Hello, Max, this is Richard Atwood, Lisa's father," Richard said. "I have called to let you know that my daughter has been thrown from the horse she was riding here in Stoneybrook and she ended up in a coma due to this kid, Bart Taylor egging her on."
"Okay, Mr. Atwood," Max said. "I am on my way."
Max got ready to go to Stoneybrook by putting his coat on.
"Where are you going, Max?" Carole & Stevie asked in unison.
"I am on my way to Stoneybrook to check up on Lisa." Max answered Stevie & Carole.
"Wait... one... minute... Max," Rafael said, yawning with exhaustion. "I'm... coming... with... you..."
"As are we!" Stevie & Carole protested in unison.
"Sorry you three," Max said to Rafael, Stevie, and Carole firmly. "but you are going to have to stay here with Mom, Deborah, and Carmina, only Drew will accompany me to Stoneybrook."
"But... Max... I... want... to... go... with... you," Rafael protested with a yawn. "besides... I... would... do... absolutely... anything... for... Lisa..."
Before he himself even knew it, Rafael dropped his chin to his chest, latching onto another quick forty as Veronica came into Max's office.
"That boy is as useless as Loser Lisa." Veronica said, pointing to Rafael rudely who was still locked up in dreamland.
"Mind your own business, Veronica," Stevie said sternly. "poor Rafael doesn't even need this now, he misses Lisa terribly."
