Chapter 14
Alan slowly pressed the familier buttons into the phone. After some deliberation they had decided to let Alan call someone. Billy didn't know of anyone who could help or would believe him, neither did Amanda, Paul suggested his brother but Amanda pointed out that his brother was far from responsible, and Eric didn't know anyone who could help at all being only thirteen.
Alan however had Ellie. She was dependable no matter what. And her husband would actually serve useful in this case through his work in the state department. Alan did.'t have anything against Mark but anything coming between him and Ellie ground his nerves. Worse then kids once had.
He could hear the phone ringing and he looked over to the others. He was glad they were all preoccupied. The Kirby's sitting together talking and Billy trying to talk to Julia who was practically in a catatonic state. The rain had finally stopped and left them in the warm night air. Through the darkness Alan couldn't be sure if he saw a tear on Julia's face to match some of the others. They could stay in control when Nash, Cooper and Udesky died but seeing that little boy go was a different matter.
"Hewwo?" A small voice answered on the other end of the line.
Alan recognized Charlie's voice immediatly and was about to ask him to get his mother when he could faintly hear her scoop the boy up and take the phone through the receiver. He could almost see her picking up the small boy in her slender arms and a part of him faintly wished that things had been different and Charlie had maybe been his own son...
"Hello?" He voice rang through the receiver.
"Ellie? It's me." He said, unsure how to exactly phrase the situation. He had to admit it was stupid to have gone back to one of the islands, even though Malcom made the same mistake, was incredibly stupid.
"Alan? I wasn't expecting a call from you. Something interesting come up?" She said in a bright, chipper voice.
Even though it didn't fit his mode at all, Alan couldn't help but be glad to hear the slightly lilting voice of Ellie. "Ellie, you're never gonna believe where I am right now..."
Billy looked up at his mentor, looking away from Julia for a moment. Alan's face softened as it always had when he spoke to Ellie. He could tell that he was trying to be brief in his explanation of what was happening. He had to rush because of the batteries.
"... Who's Ellie...?"
Billy looked back to Julia. These were the first words she'd spoken since they'd left the river. Normally Eric was the only one who could guess what was on her mind but she seemed so much more vulnerable and less concerned about being cold and distant now that she lost Tory. He was able to understand a bit now. She was just searching for a distraction.
"She's an old friend of Alan's. She should be able to get us some help." Billy said, unsure what else he could really say.
The look on her face was beyond Billy's understanding. Had Eric been there it would have been known it was because she couldn't see any reason to leave the island now.
"Alright, Alan... I am pretty sure I can help. Just be careful." Ellie said softly through the phone.
"I will... Thank you..."
"Alan-"
He stared into the phone, furious. It had finally died. But then again it had served its purpose. They were going to get the help they needed and it always did him good to hear Ellie. There was always a love in her eyes that he knew was permanent like his for her.
Putting the phone in his pocket he sat down in the trees branches and let sleep overtake him.
**************************
Another rant: Well I know that is sadly to short. Oh well. I didn't get any Eric in there! ::sob:: Not techinically anyways. Sorry but I have this weird love for Trevor Morgan(played Eric). My friend says we probobly knew eachother in another life or are destined to meet. =/ I am not so sure about that but it is a nice thought. Well, reveiwer Nukem says I should kill off Amanda Kirby. Interesting thought. And makes for a nice basis for angst. Heh heh... I like angst I do I do. Now I am taking a poll on this. Would you like me to:
A: Leave her alone
B: Kill her
C: Severly injure her
D: Coma and/or paralysis or some other lasting defect.
^_^ Opinions welcome. Keep reading and reveiwing and you'll get all kinds of great stuff outta this. Like Land Before Time, a childrens ward, Eric and Julia and... Well... I think I'll just write that up later. Anywho TAKE THE POLL!!! ^_^ Thanks!
