Chapter 8
Miranda climbed out the broken bedroom window. Inching her way along the ledge, she almost lost her footing on the roof. Tears and anger were blinding her as she leapt lightly onto the ground. Picking up the knife, she ran off down the street. Trying to find Parker.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Lizzie sat on her bed still sobbing with Gordo still holding her in his arms. Time seemed to be standing still. It had been two hours since Lizzie had almost been hit in the head with Miranda's knife and she couldn't believe that her friend would have done that to her and her family.
Gordo leaned down and kissed her cheek, slowly rocking her back and forth. They were still in their bathing suits and the air was turning cold as night approached. The light in her room seemed bright and artificial, it strained her eyes as she looked at it. She tore her gaze away as the phone rang. Gordo reached out and picked it up, never letting Lizzie go.
"Hello?"
"Gordo I need to talk to Lizzie! It's an emergency!"
"Who is this?" Gordo mumbled
"Parker, Parker McKenzie now just give Lizzie the damn phone!"
Gordo handed it over without hesitation and mouthed the name Parker. Lizzie nodded and took the phone from his grasp.
"This is Lizzie!" she said
"Lizzie, you need to know, Miranda killed your brother!" Parker choked out the words as though she was crying.
Lizzie was silent.
"It was all my fault! We were talking and I was mad at you and said if only you could be gotten rid of and then we could have Gordo to ourselves. I think she took me seriously and I don't really want you hurt ......" Parker broke down crying at that point and Lizzie heard no more.
Lizzie sat in silence listening to the girl cry.
"Oh Parker, it's not your fault!" Lizzie coaxed "If you want I'll come over and we talk about this in person! K?"
Parker mumbled something like a yes and Lizzie grinned.
"Do you want Gordo to come?" the blond whispered
"Sure!" parker sniffed and Lizzie hung up.
Placing the phone back into it's cradle and she slipped out of Gordo's arms and towards her closet.
"Where you going?" Gordo mumbled, missing her warmth immediately.
"To Parker's and you're coming too!" she teased, kissing him lightly on the nose.
"Do I hafta?" the boy whined,
Lizzie's eyes clouded.
"Yes!" she said panic rising in her voice, "She might be in danger!"
Gordo stood and took the girl into his arms.
"She'll be fine!" Gordo whispered, his breath tickling her ear.
"No She won't!" Lizzie screamed almost hysterically.
Gordo didn't want to make Lizzie mad. He pulled the duke law shirt over his head and helped the trembling girl into a miniskirt and blouse. Slipping on shoes, they walked the three blocks to Parker's house and rang the doorbell. A very disheveled girl answered the and fairly fell onto Lizzie.
"Oh my god, Lizzie, I'm the only one home and I'm so scared!"
Parker was breathing hard and suggested that they walk around outside. Nodding Lizzie put an arm around the brunette's shoulder and let her lean against the blond.
"It's okay! No one is going to hurt you unless they knew that you told me! You're safe!" Lizzie breathed. She nudged Gordo for agreement.
He didn't answer just kept staring straight ahead. A little ways down the street was Miranda. She was holding the knife and her hair flew in the wind. Smiling maliciously she hurled the knife as hard as she could. Lizzie still hadn't seen Miranda but Gordo had, he stepped in front of her, wrapping her into his arms and waiting for a shocking blow that would wrench the life from his body.
It never came.
Gordo dared to open his eyes and turn around. Parker stood there, shook evident in her chocolate colored eyes. The knife stuck out of her back and blood began to drip from the wound. Lizzie noticed the knife and screamed. Breaking out of Gordo's grasp she caught the brunette as she fell forward. Parker's breathing was becoming slower and heavier as Lizzie kneeled down, cradling her in her arms.
"Lizzie," she gasped, "Promise me something!"
Lizzie's eyes were wide as she fervently nodded. "Anything Parker!" she whispered, a tear falling onto the dying girl.
"Don't let her get away with this!" she struggled. Her chest fell still and her breathing stopped.
Lizzie took a deep breath and reached over Parker. She carefully pulled the knife out of Parker's back and stood to face her one time friend. Miranda stayed where she was, hands jauntily on her hips.
"Whatcha gonna do McGuire?" she taunted and chuckled evilly; "If you give me back the knife, I can properly finish her!" she erupted into malicious laughter.
She brought her hands up to make a vicious X in the air. Lizzie shuddered involuntarily. Feeling a cool wind brush across her face. Neither girl saw a curtain suddenly drop in the house next door to Parker's house. Gordo did though and prayed that help would come before the girls began a fight. A fight between them could only lead to death, and Gordo was pretty sure that Lizzie would be the one no longer breathing. Miranda was experienced she had killed to people already and really wanted Lizzie dead. The blond didn't believe in killing anything from a ladybug to an elephant. Gordo walked forward and placed his hands on Lizzie's waist, feeling her tense at his touch.
Sirens sounded from nearby and Miranda whirled around in shock. Two police cars blocked off either end of the street and a megaphone rang out.
"Civilians, please lock all doors and close all windows. Young lady in the bathing suit put down that gun!"
Miranda had pulled out a gun from her sarong and had it aimed at Lizzie. Several policemen jumped out of the cars and aimed weapons at her while the main cop again repeated his request to ' put down the gun'. Miranda swallowed and moved the gun from Lizzie onto herself. Lizzie gasped.
"Don't shoot! Put down your guns! She's disturbed nothing more!" Lizzie was very nearly in hysterics.
Miranda took a big gulp and noticed the cop guns being lowered. Quickly she moved her finger to the trigger and pulled. Lizzie screamed at the shot and launched herself forward, only to find Gordo to strong for her. Crying, she struggled and tried to free herself from his grasp. Blood inched along the asphalt and Lizzie felt her eyes go wide, Hiding her face in Gordo's chest, she felt him stroke her hair as the police covered the girl's dead body then Parker's also.
Lizzie stood in Gordo's arms as ambulances were called and the dead bodies were taken away. A policeman phoned Lizzie and Gordo's houses and rang up the station also. Lizzie just cried.
~*~
Gordo helped Lizzie through the front door of his house and into the main entrance. Lizzie's parents hadn't been home and neither had Gordo's but they hadn't wanted to wait at the station. Neither of them liked the idea of being alone very much either.
Her legs almost gave way and Gordo lifted her into his arms and carried her up to his room. Setting her on the bed, he tucked the covers around her form and turned out the light.
"Just sleep," he whispered, as Lizzie's eyes fluttered closed.
Gordo sat where he was and watched her for a while. When he thought that she was asleep he leaned down and whispered.
"I love you Elizabeth Brooke McGuire. You and only you!" he was about to stand up and leave the room when he heard a soft whisper,
"I love you too David Gordon!"
