okay, so i decided that i'd start this chapter with thanking people for the reviews...its really great. now i've almost hit 10...the big 1-0...you know how you can help me hit it...REVIEW!

"That little...aghhh," Liz murmured to herself as she fumbled for her keys. "I didn't know that that was why i was here my butt...where are the?" Liz paused for a minute to glance down into her purse. After shifting a few things, she looked up again and continued her whispered as she walked through the parking lot to her car. "No freaking help, none at all and then you have the nerve to...ahhhh." She held up the keys victorious. Hitting the unlock button, she opened the door to the driver's seat to the Honda Accord. She put her briefcase in the passenger's seat; threw her cellphone onto the center consol and chringed as it hit with a hard thud. Then shoving her keys into the egnition she started the car and began to hour long drive home.

The song "Breaking Us In Two," by Joe Jackson blared as Liz sped along the highway.

"But don't you feel like breaking out just one day on your own...why does what I'm saying hurt you...I didn't say that we were through..." Liz sang at the top of her lungs. It was a great stress reliever for her. "Always something breaking us in two...They say two hearts should be as one for us..." her singing was interrupted by her phone which started singing the James Bond theme as it rang.

"Crud...It's Rick." She said outloud as she lowered the volume of the music.

Flipping open the phone she was greeted by the voice of her best friend, "Hey! So what's up?

"Not much since i last saw you what like this afternoon at lunch."

"You know what I mean Liz. How was the meeting?"

"What meeting?"

"Ha-ha-ha, that's hilarious."

"Oh you mean the Bingley meeting..."

"No...Really, was that what I meant?" Rick's voice was thick with sarcasim.

"Well... It went...alright."

"It would bad didn't it."

"I said alright."

"I know, and I've learned over the years that when you give an answer that means okay then it means that it really went badly but you just don't want to admit it."

"Fine it went okay but there were a few issues."

"Issues?..Was Bingley a jerk or something?"

"No...You were right about Bingley. He's a nice guy, a little too nice and friendly, but nice all the same. Jen's type too, she fell for him as soon as he walked through the door and he did the same when he saw Jen."

Rick laughed, "I'm not surprised at all. So is that what your upset about."

"God no! I liked Bingley. It was his friend I had an issue with and I'm not too fond of his sister either."

"His sister? I didn't know that Bingley had a sister."

"Well he does and she's just about the snobbiest person i've ever met. Oh...wait...no...That position has already been filled by the proud Mr. Darcy."

"Mr. Darcy!" Rick sounded utterly shocked at the mention of the name.

"Yes, Mr. Darcy...Do you know him?"

"Well...I...ummm...What did he do?"

"Well he was a jerk for starters. He walks in all high and mighty and doesn't even greet me or Charlette. Then, Bingley says that Darcy was there to tell me about George Wickham, but Darcy becomes all snobby and says that he didn't know that that was why he was there and he wouldn't tell us anything of use. He sits there sulking for the rest of the meeting and then on his way out has the nerve to tell Bingley that he might want to consider asking Mr. Weiner to assign him different attorneys because he didn't think that we were entirely suitable."

"Did he really?" Rick seemed unsure that Liz was telling the truth.

"Yes he did. If you don't believe me ask Charlette or Jen."

"I believe you, don't worry. So what did Bingley say?"

"I don't know I didn't hear, but Mike hasn't taken me off the case so I guess I'm still on for now."

"Wow...I can't believe Darcy siad that."

"Well, whatever, I don't really care anymore. I mean he's just some stupid guy. To be honest, I would not have any issue with his pride if he hadn't made a comment to hurt mine. But seriosly he's just an idiot."

"Well I better go Liz." Rick siad solemnly.

"Alright talk to you later." and with that they both hung up the phone. Liz going back to listen to Joe Jackson and belting at the lryics with full force and leaving Rick to sit in his apartment alone and ponder the conversation he had just had with Elizabeth.

well...what do you think? sorry it took a little longer, i didn't have prewritten stuff for this chapter. I'll try to come out with the next one a little faster.
