Chapter Two: Crazy Driver
It was the Fourth of July and Lizzie's roommate, Carla, had dropped her off at work because she needed to borrow Lizzie's car. Lizzie was walking along the path that lead to the employee parking lot. She was off to the side of the road and listening to her headphones. She never heard the car coming from behind her.
The driver of the car wasn't paying attention and didn't see the blonde walking along the side of the road. He bent to change the radio station and his car pulled to the right and he struck the girl. He felt the car hit something, and slammed onto the brakes. He jumped out to see what happened. A pretty blonde girl was laying on the ground, clearly unconscious. He looked around and saw that no one was present. He freaked out, backed his car away, and went ahead to park his car in the employee lot. He made sure there was no damage to the front of his car and went to work like nothing happened.
David Gordon just happened to be the next person who was driving past. He saw the body on the ground, stopped his car and checked out the person.
"Oh my God...it's Lizzie," he muttered. He checked to see that she was breathing and had a pulse. She did, so he called 911 on his cellphone. Another car stopped behind his and a girl got out to see what was going on.
"What happened?" the girl looked shocked, "did you hit her?"
"No, I found her laying here," Gordo explained, "I have no idea what happened, but she's unconscious. I called 911 and an ambulance should be here soon."
As if on cue, sirens sounded and an ambulance arrived on the scene. Paramedics jumped out and ran back to get a stretcher. They examined Lizzie and quickly loaded her into the ambulance. Gordo stood, shocked as sirens wailed and the ambulance sped off. What had happened? The police took him aside and questioned him then let him go to work.
He was in a daze as he arrived at his spot for the day, Thunder Bay. He was visibly shaken as he sat on the picnic bench without saying a word.
"Gordo, what is it?" Miranda questioned.
"I..I..Lizzie, she just went to the hospital," he spat out.
"What?" Miranda's voice registered shock.
"I don't know. I was jus..just," he had to swallow to prevent himself from crying, "driving into the parking lot and she was laying there, on the side of the road. I got out and she wasn't...she was unconcsious and I called an ambulance. I don't know if she's okay or not."
"Oh my God," Miranda was stunned.
"I don't even know what happened," Gordo burst into tears.
"Is he okay?" another lifeguard asked, seeing her lead in tears.
"Gordo, are you okay?" Miranda sniffled.
"I don't know," he slumped down and put his head on the table.
"What happened?" the other guards asked seeing Miranda and Gordo in tears.
Miranda herded them away, "I think a friend of ours was hit by a car in the parking lot. He found her."
"That's horrible," Charles, a friend of Miranda's said.
"Maybe he shouldn't work today," someone suggested.
Another lead passing by saw Gordo with his head down on the table, "Hey Gordo, you okay?"
Gordo lifted his head up and his eyes were all puffy and red, "I don't know."
"What happened man?" the other lead asked.
"You know Lizzie McGuire, Adam?" he in quired.
"Yeah she's a guard right? That one you like?" Adam asked.
"Yes well, when I came in to the parking lot, I found her laying on the ground. She was unconscious and I guess someone hit her with their car then ran away. I have no idea if she's even alive," Gordo sobbed.
Adam's jaw dropped, "Wow. Are you going to be able to work today?"
"I don't know. I think I'll be okay if I just get myself composed," Gordo tried to smile.
"You sure?" Adam pressed.
"Yeah, I'll be okay," Gordo assured him.
"Okay man, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me," Adam offered.
Miranda returned to find that Gordo was no longer crying, "So how do we find out if she's okay?"
"I'm not sure which hospital they took her to, they wouldn't tell me because I'm not family," Gordo sighed.
"They're gonna have a lot of luck seeing her family, they're in Alaska!" Miranda exclaimed.
"I bet they will tell her roommate and I'll get the information from her. I'm going to find her and see Lizzie after work," Gordo said firmly.
Miranda stated, "I don't see how someone could hit her...they know people walk and ride their bikes along that path. And why on earth would someone run? I can see if you accidentally hit someone, getting scared, but then running away. If they get caught, they are going to be in so much trouble!"
"I don't know, it has to be an employee, it was past the gate where only employees are allowed. Where did they go though? The gate attendant said no one went out, so whoever it was is here right now," Gordo shuddered at the thought.
"Well this person has a lot of guts to stay near the scene of the crime," Miranda said angrily.
"I bet the cops are checking all the cars in the lot right now for any signs of damage, you know from hitting her. But I bet they were going slow enough that it didn't do much damage to their car, as for Lizzie..." Gordo trailed off.
"Lizzie's tough, I've known her for a long time," Miranda said, "she'll make it out okay."
