John started to defend himself again but Natalie put her hand to stop him. He had started to panic, thinking that Natalie believed this garbage, when he saw Natalie wink at him. "Oh, thank god!" he thought. "She doesn't believe Evangeline."
After Natalie winked at John she said to Evangeline, "If you think I believe that, you are more stupid then I thought you were. I know John would never cheat on me with the likes of you." Natalie sneered.
John's phone rang and he went into the doorway to answer it, thinking that the two women had some issues to work out on their own. Now that he knew she believed him, John knew Natalie would want to clear all this up with out him standing there.
As John left, Evangeline dropped all pretense of being nice and screeched out, "Are you calling me a liar?"
Layla jumped in yelling, "My sister doesn't lie."
"Oh, shut up you over priced hooker!" Jessica told Layla, wanting a reason to punch the bitch. She had wanted to beat the crap out of Layla ever since she came to Lanview and tried to steal Antonio away from her.
Evangeline looked at Natalie and said, "I am telling the truth and you are a idiot if you don't believe me, But then since you lie all the time anyway maybe you wouldn't know the truth if it hit you in the face!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Natalie demanded.
"Oh I had a nice conversation with an inmate at Carbondale Prison. It was very enlightening. He told me all kinds of things, and if you don't apologize to me, I will tell John just what you are keeping from him." Evangeline stated confident Natalie would be the one to back down.
"Are you threatening me?" Natalie asked, in a deadly calm voice, realizing Evangeline knew about Cris.
"Take it how you will." Evangeline said, thinking she had won, turning around to go back into the restaurant.
"Oh no you don't!" Natalie said, "No one, especially not a vapid little floozy like you, threatens me! Either you apologize or you will be sorry!"
Evangeline infuriated by Natalie's words spun around and swung at Natalie trying to hit her in the face. Natalie ducked the punch and smashed her in the stomach with her fist. Evangeline, doubled over in pain, tried to claw Natalie's arm as she went down. Enraged Natalie came at Evangeline with her fists flying. They both went down with Evangeline on top. Natalie rolled them over until Evangeline was on her stomach her face in the pavement. Evangeline tried to get Natalie off her but Natalie smashed her face into the ground causing Evangeline to loose 2 of her front teeth.
Layla seeing that Natalie was winning the fight went to jump in when Jessica, Backing up her sister, grabbed her arm stopping her. She swung at Jessica and Jessica lunged at Layla dragging her to the ground. Jessica punched Layla in the nose, breaking it. Layla screamed and grabbed for Jessica's hair trying to pull it out by the roots. Jessica punched her again and then again until Layla finally let go of her hair. Layla clawed Jessica on the face leaving bloody nail marks on her cheek. Jessica grabbed Layla's head and slammed it on the ground. She would have kept doing so but someone grabbed her and pulled her off Layla. "Let me go!" Jessica screamed fully intending on kicking the tar out of Layla.
Antonio held onto Jessica and looked over at John holding a still struggling Natalie. "I'm sorry," he said calmly, "I don't want to have a murder out here in full view of the public." Jessica hearing his voice stopped struggling and said, "you can put me down now."
"Yeah me too" Natalie said to John. John smiled and said "only if you promise to behave." Looking at the Evangeline and Layla still on the ground John shook his head. Evangeline looked unconscious and Layla was bawling.
"I promise!" Natalie and Jessica said at the same time. They looked at each other and grinned, they hadn't felt this good in a long time. As John and Antonio let them go a police car pulled up and 2 uniformed officers got out. Natalie groaned and nudged Jessica whispering, "want to bet you and I are the ones arrested and those two get off with a free pass saying we started it!"
Officer Collens and Munch came up to the scene and, seeing Evangeline and Layla on the ground bleeding called an ambulance. They looked over to Antonio and John and asked, "Did you guys see who started it?" John and Antonio said no but they were sure that it was Evangeline and Layla.
As the ambulance got there Evangeline regained consciousness to some around started yelling, "arrest them arrest them, they attacked us!"
"You bitch!" Natalie swore, "you swung at me first." As Evangeline and Layla were loaded into the ambulance Officer Munch took out handcuffs and placed them on Natalie and Jessica's wrists. "I'm sorry until we figure out what happened you will have to come with us," Officer Collens said.
John started to protest but Natalie put her hand on his arm and said, "its ok they are just doing their jobs. We will be out as soon as we make bail or a witness comes forward." As Jessica and Natalie were placed in the police car Officer Munch started questioning potential witnesses. They were driven down town and placed in a holding cell by Officer Collens.
