Chapter 7 - The Plan
Abby's POV
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Outside Doc's*
Me and Susan had left the hospital and were standing outside Doc's. We had discussed a lot of ideas on how to help everyone in the restaurant. We weren't coming up with too much, so we just stood there, along with hundreds of other people, waiting to see what would happen.
"Abby. I. . . I think I have a plan." Susan had said after hours of thinking.
I looked at her, waiting for her to finish.
"I'll get a gun. . . somehow, and I'll sneak in through the back. . . with the gun. And then - "
"Susan!!" I interrupted. "Are you out of your mind?! You can't go in there! That's what the cops are for!"
"Abby, listen, the cops aren't willing to risk their lives for some people that they don't even know. . . not yet anyway. But I refuse to just SIT here until the cops decide to get their butts to work on this case! Now I, on the other hand, am willing to go in there."
Susan was serious. Dead serious. And if I knew Susan like I thought I did, she wouldn't be able to be talked out of this one. So I just sighed. . .
"Go on. . . " I said.
Susan told me the whole plan, and it seemed perfect. . . at the time.

*Inside Doc's*
Carter's POV
"What are they doing? Do they even have a plan?" I said to no one in particular. These robbers were just sitting there. They didn't look like they even knew what they were doing.
"Who knows." Romano replied to my rhetorical question.
These guys had made Romano and Vicky come sit with the rest of us so that they could 'keep track of us.' The thing was though, that two of the four robbers had left before the news crew or the cops showed up. They chickened out I guess. . . Just then, I heard a slight squeak coming from the back of the room. I turned around to see who or what was there. 'Maybe it is the other two robbers that left us earlier.' I thought. But then, I got a better view of who it was. It looked like a woman. . . a woman I recognized.
"Oh my God, it's Susan." I whispered to myself
"WHAT?" Elizabeth and Romano said in unison.
"Look, it's Susan." I whispered, making sure no one but them heard me.
They all looked over to what I was pointing to.
"What the hell is she doing here?" Romano asked. . . already knowing the answer.
"I guess she's here to help us."
