Today our own Lisa Resiert will be belting out "Once and for all" from Newsies while running in heels! Enjoy!

"Oh…"

Lisa leaned forward, doing her best to feign illness.

"What's the matter now?" Jackson asked, looking down at her. The flight was nearly over, he couldn't afford for her to act up now.

"You hit me on the head and slammed me against the wall remember?" Lisa said trying to maneuver the pen from her skirt, if Jackson saw this…

Jackson leaned back in his seat, "Well suck it up."

What was that suppose to mean? When Lisa didn't comply Jackson raised his voice. "Sit up Leese. We're almost there."

Lisa sat up fully, the pen clenched in her fist, a plan formulating in her mind.

Time passed in silence for the tandem as the rest of the passengers began to fully awake in anticipation of the planes landing.

"Once we get inside the terminal, we'll hit Starbucks, grab a couple of lattes." Lisa didn't react as Jackson suddenly spoke. "Once I get the call I walk out of your life."

Lisa continued to nothing to Jackson as he drew up his final plan. She'd much rather have something filled with alcohol.

"Once I'm out of your line of sight I'll call off Mr. Killer from outside dad's house and you'll be free. Free to yell. And scream. Call your Dad; tell him to run to the neighbors, sound good?"

Lisa looked out the plane window at Miami International airport and at the growing light outside. She had nothing to say, yet.

Gazing at her Jackson asked. "What no questions?" Lisa turned back to face him, one of her curls was going out in a totally different direction, it was sort of distracting, "What good have they done me so far?"

This should have been a tell tale sign of things to come but Jackson seemed to take this as a sign of Lisa having finally given in to his overwhelming dominance. "Best question you've asked all night."

Lisa looked away, her curl having suddenly gone back into place. That seemed to happen to her all the time, and not just with her hair, but with her necklace too…

As the plane began its descent and landing Lisa reflected on everything that had happened, on everything that could go wrong with her plan, on how her plan neared the impossible to begin with.

With out even really thinking Lisa began to get a rhythm and beat in her head. A steady, determined song in her heart, this was her last chance, she had to do this. Once and for all.

Softly and to herself Lisa began to sing but this time not in self pity but with a New York accent.

This is the fight I wanted to finish
Well, today is the day I can

Just remember my father and I
can finish the fight I began

This time I'm in it to stay

Think about seizing the day

"What did you say?" Jackson asked, Lisa paused in the song and somewhat startled shook her head as he turned away again. The plane was coming up to the airport now.

"Wait."

Jackson looked back at Lisa, his blue eyes trained on her own. "It happened in a parking lot, two years ago."

"Do you think I care-"

"It happened in a parking lot," Lisa shook her head now at the memory, "In the middle of the day." Jackson paused now, looking at Lisa like a friend would. God they had a screwed up relationship.

"Ever since then I've been telling myself the same thing over and over." Jackson looked off into space, thinking. He glanced back knowingly at Lisa. "That it was beyond your control."

No you insensitive prick. "No, that it would never happen again."

There was a long pause, Jackson didn't seem to want to look away as he stared at Lisa thoroughly puzzled by this conundrum. The pen in Lisa's hand felt like it was going to slip out, time was ticking.

The seatbelt sign dinged. Still Jackson didn't look away. She was going to have to stab him in the eye.

"Look that lady that keeps hitting on you!"

"NO!" Jackson said, looking around in the other direction, then down and finally up.

Lisa swung the pen in one quick upward motion, in one rush of adrenaline. Screaming at herself not to fumble Lisa scrambled to retrieve Jackson's cell phone while he sat in shock and pain.

She needed to run, trying to climb over Jackson; Lisa received an unhappy surprise when he tripped her. If Jackson hadn't had enmity towards Lisa before he certainly did now. No matter, Lisa stood again dodging in between people, climbing over seats and leaving bedlam where she trod.

Moving up the seats, with the song still playing in her mind Lisa started up again.

Think of Dad
As he calls me all the time tell him I'm on my way!

See Keefe is relying on me
He doesn't know what's coming
not to mention his family is with him
While I'm struggling to survive
Dad, if you're still countin' sheep
Wake up and read 'em and weep
Jack's got his thug
With his k-bar and gun
Yeah, but I got lives to save

"Sorry I have a flight to catch!" She said, shoving another person out of the way.

"Miss," A flight attendant stood there blocking the path.

Lisa wasn't going to lie." There's man back there, he's hurt."

As the woman went in the back to see what happened Lisa edged to the exit. "Please just wait miss." Fine. The moment the door opened Lisa sped out.

Finally off the plane and back home Lisa couldn't help but take a moment to sigh in relief as she pulled off her sweater in order to disguise herself better. She had calls to make.

Once and for all
Something tells me the tide'll be turnin'
Once and for all
There's a fire inside me
That won't stop burnin'
Now that the choices are clear
Now that tomorrow is here
Watch how the mighty will fall
For once and for all

Lisa pulled out Jackson's cell and swore as soon as she saw that there was no service in the airport. Where were payphones when she needed them?

The sight of a pair of security guards shook Lisa from momentary sublime misery. She had to get out of here and quickly. With music pounding in her ears Lisa hurried to a table with two girls at it singing:

This is for Cynthia
who calls me everyday
when I'm not there
While the bosses and guests look away
This is to even the score
This ain't just business no more
This ain't just business no more
This is do it or die
This is war!

"Hi, I'm Wendy from airport services. Have you dined at our terminal before?" Lisa asked the pair of startled girls. She did her best not fall over in relief as the secuirty guards ran past her and the two young woman who were staring at her. As they glanced back curiously Lisa got up and left singing. All the while nearly doing a little shuffle.

Once and for all
I have to defend my father
Once and for all
Every moment counts
Every second flies

Where was she suppose to go now? Picking up a magazine to hide behind as she debated Lisa knew she needed to go home, that way she could call the hotel and her dad at the same time. The idea of Jackson's little pet sitting outside her fathers house revolted her.

No longer in the sky
Five thousand reasons to try
I'm goin' over the wall
Better to die than to crawl
Either I stand or I fall
For once
Once and for all

Lisa looked up from the magazine and gasped. Jackson Rippner was standing mere away from her, wearing a hideous scarf and an angry expression. Time to run like hell.

Dropping the magazine Lisa dashed away; the race was on.
