--Chapter 9

Emily was pacing the train car from front to back waiting for Elizabeth to get off the phone with Johnny. Oooh she was going to kill Elizabeth for even thinking she could get rid of a Quartermain that easy. Well she would just show her. The Quartermain's never did what they were told. They always did what they thought was right and what they had to to protect the ones they loved and she'd be damned if Elizabeth was going to stop her. So she was already hatching her own plan.

Elizabeth was planning on having Emily meet Jason and Johnny at the train station in the ladies bathroom third stall at the end. Elizabeth said that she knew the train station's bathrooms, that when she was younger and would run away from home she would go there hide and pretend that she was leaving town on the next train. She told Johnny that there was a window in that bathroom stall that they could climb out of if there were any problems and they needed to escape.

Emily couldn't understand why Elizabeth wouldn't let Sonny and Jason help her. Sure Elizabeth was in danger with the mob and police, but it wasn't like Sonny had never gotten arrested before or Jason for that matter. And they were always in danger from there enemies. Elizabeth had tried to explain that with Sonny, Jason, Johnny, and whoever else they brought with them are in danger. That with all of them coming to their rescue that Roscoe would have the prefect opportunity to kill all of them and then were would Carly, Michael, Zander and Alexis be without any protection. Elizabeth couldn't let them anywhere near her she wouldn't be responsible for anyone else getting hurt. Emily had agreed to go along with the plan only because she was planning something of her own. The only thing Elizabeth hadn't explained yet was where she was going to be when all of this was happening.

" Johnny listen to me Emily will be just fine if you do what I say!" Emily stopped and looked at Elizabeth she was pissed would be putting it lightly she looked more like she was ready to cut someone's head off.

" Then you understand the plan?"

" Good don't be late. Who knows if Roscoe will be there or not."

" Do you want to talk to Emily."

Elizabeth handed the phone to Emily.

Emily walked to the end of the car as far away from Elizabeth as possible.

" Johnny?"

" Em are you ok?!!"

" Yeah just a little scared. I wish you were here with me."

" Me too baby. Are you ok with the plan?"

" No but I don't think Elizabeth cares, she's doing what she wants."

" No Em she's doing what she thinks will keep everyone safe, she doesn't want anyone else to get hurt."

" Yeah well I don't want her to get hurt and with this plan I think she might. No I know she will." Emily replied lowering her voice so Elizabeth couldn't hear.

" So what's your plan?"

" You know me so well Johnny. Well instead of meeting at the bathroom I will call you when I get off the train then I'll follow Elizabeth wherever she's going and keep you informed."

" I don't think so Em."

" Listen John we only got about 15 minutes until we're there don't angry with me now."

" Has Elizabeth said were she was going to go when the train stopped?"

Emily who was so caught up with her conversation with Johnny didn't see Elizabeth jump out of the train.

" She hasn't said."

" Well when you guys get off the train keep your eyes open and try to track which way Elizabeth goes."

" Ok. Johnny."

" Yeah."

" How's Jason?"

" Trying to cope."

" Yeah he's not the only one you should see Elizabeth's face every time I said Jason's name." Emily said turning around to look at Elizabeth only to find her gone.

" Elizabeth. Elizabeth!!!" Emily starting franticly searching the boxcar they were in for Elizabeth.

" Elizabeth were are you? Oh god Elizabeth!"

" Emily pick up the phone. Emily!!!!" Johnny yelled.

Emily raised the phone to her ear.

" She's gone Johnny."

" What you mean she gone where did sh-.." " Jesus Jason all you had to say was gimme the damn phone." Emily heard on the other end.

" Emily it's Jason where did she go? Where is she?"

" I don't know Jason. Oh god Jason what if- if- she fell.'

" Emily go look."

Emily walked over to the door and looked out.

" Oh my god."

" Em what is it. EMILY ANSWER ME!!!!"

" She jumped off the train."
