Disclaimer: Hmmm..uhm..nope.
A/N: Glad you enjoyed the last chapter, and bugs-well, I wouldn't go THAT far, Melody. LOL. What else would they to that would closer than talking. Oh yeah-that. ;) I'm wondering if I should rename this story "Karissa Must Die", because ya'll are sure hating her-I even have Gracie agreeing with Livvie. Ok, this chapter-all I have to say is don't make ME go eat a bug, please. Until next time-ya'll are the best-PCGirl.

Her eyes were closed, and her mind half asleep, but when she felt his weight lift off the bed she began to wake up more. She heard him go over to the dresser, and pull out clothes to wear. Where are you going, Caleb? He began to whistle-was that Naked Eyes he was whistling? He's so into himself he's whistling his own music, she thought as a sly smile came over her face. She could feel his presence come near the bed, as he leaned down and kissed her, "I'll be back soon," he whispered in her ear. She had to roll over to keep him from realizing she was awake. When she heard the door close and lock she opened her eyes, "Too bad I won't be here when you get back," she said as she jumped up to find something quick to put on and follow him.
---------
"Glad you could come early," said Malcolm as he opened the door for Elizabeth and proceeded to lead her to the Study. "We're having a dinner party tonight, and figured you wouldn't want to show up in the middle of it."
"Well, as long as I can make my plane, then I don't care. Is he here yet?"
"No, but he should be soon. Can I get you a drink?" he asked, walking over to the bar.
"A martini, please."
"Don't remember you drinking those before," he said as he took a look at the clock, and began to make her one.
"I've changed a lot, Malcolm."
--------
"Rafe, I'm going to go down and open the gym up," yelled Alison as she grabbed the keys and went downstairs. It was morning, and she was up early. She unlocked the door, and went to see if the juice bar needed to be stocked. She had crouched down behind it when she heard the front door open, "Good morning!" she said standing up as she made a note of what needed to be done. Looking up she saw it was Caleb, "What are you doing here?"
"Just wanted to get a workout, that's all," he said stretching his arms behind him. "Your business wouldn't be partial to the living, now would it? Because I'm sure I could get some pro-vampire group on your butt."
"Caleb, just leave," she said walking from behind the bar and grabbing a mop.
"Now come on, you didn't say that before-you know when we had that one night of amazing passion thanks to Olivia."
"You are amazing, you know that?" she said as a grin appeared on his face. "No, not that way. What I meant was you think you have all this control over me, but you don't. This child is Rafe's, and he knows that. And he now knows about that night, but do you see him walking out on me?" she said as she walked and must have slipped on a wet spot on the floor. Caleb was there in a second, and able to catch her before her head hit the floor.
"Watch it there, sweetheart. Don't want anything to happen to the baby," he said still holding her inches from the floor.
"Ahem," said Rafe from the bottom of the stairwell before going back up to the apartment.
--------
There was a knock on the door, "Ahh. He's here," said Malcolm as he got up to get the door. "Elizabeth, this is my lawyer, Clark."
Her head shot back and looked at him, "This is also my cousin's husband. Is this some type of trick?"
"This is no trick, Mrs. Barrington," said Clark as he sat down at the table and opened his briefcase. He pulled out the divorce papers, and started to discuss the terms that she had agreed to. Everything went to Malcolm, and at his death he promised still to split everything between Reese and Alison.
--------
She was crouched down in the shadows, hoping he didn't see her when he came back out of the gym. Whatever he was doing in there was definitely not in the best interest of anyone. Should she go in and confront him? No, there was no reason to do that. He would know she had followed him, and then the surveillance wouldn't work. She saw Caleb walk out and take a look around. There was no way he could know she was here, but then a smile came across his face. Wipe that smug look off your face. There's no reason to be proud of yourself Caleb. After he walked up the steps she stayed crouched down for a few more minutes, and then went to pay Jack a visit.
-------
"Alright, that's everything," said Clark as put the papers back in the briefcase.
"See Elizabeth? No tricks here," commented Malcolm as they went out into the living room.
Elizabeth looked and saw Reese who looked like she was very uncomfortable standing in the middle of a crowd of yuppies that she did not know. Instead of leaving she went to say goodbye to her, "You don't look like you are enjoying yourself," she said.
"Well, this isn't my scene."
"I'm going back to the hotel now, and then getting on the plane," she said as the two said goodbye.
She was almost to the door when her old friend Erica came in, "Elizabeth," she said pulling her into a hug. "I haven't seen you in over a year. Please stay so we can catch up." She looked at her watch, her plane didn't leave for another three hours-it wouldn't hurt to catch up with an old friend.
--------
"Rafe! Stop," yelled Alison as she went up the stairs after him. "Whatever you think you saw just now was nothing, I swear."
"Then tell me what it was then," he said as he grabbed a jacket.
"I went to open the gym, and he came in wanting a workout."
"A workout," he grumbled. "Like the one you had that night in the barn."
"No, nothing like that."
"Then why were you on the floor and him over you, hmmm? I mean explain that to me. Alison, I love you but whenever I turn around now you two are together in some form. If it's not today it was the other day when Ian came in with him next to you at the bed."
"Rafe, he's trying to get you to think something's going on," she said trying to reach for his arm, but he jerked it away. "Look at me! Look! Do you honestly believe that I want to be with that creep?"
"I don't know! I don't know anything anymore," he yelled as his hand went flying and hit the picture of their sunset, shattering the glass into pieces. He just looked at the mess on the floor, and then at her, "I've got to get some air," then walking out and slamming the door. He had almost got to the car when he realized he didn't have his keys. "Forgot the stupid keys," he snapped as he walked in to see Alison lying on the floor next to the picture, unconscious.

A/N: Ok, everyone say it together-Caleb is a slime ball, but we love him still-right? Oh, and just on a side note-I'm so BG-deprived that I was writing my own Ozzie scenes earlier. LOL
