"Um, well. I'll be back soon... I'll um.. tell you about it later." Geoff said, leaning closer to Bridgette. She nodded and for a second watched him as he tried to think of something to say. Her eyes looked up to him as he walked away. Bridgette kept replaying that scene in her head again and again trying to find a little hint or something that Geoff was trying to send out to her. She sighed, nothing. That had been hours ago and the boys were supposed to be back by now. Even Courtney's focused scowl had turned into a flustered pout as she kept glancing at the clock.
Bridgette turned to her computer, it said 5:05. They left at 1:00. If it took two hours to get there and back and about half and hour to sort out the problems and make a new order of paper than they're an hour and a half late. Bridgette sighed again to express her disappointment. Where are they, she wondered.
Leshawna, who's desk was near by, turned to Bridgette, "You hold it, girl. He'll be back for you." She gave her a knowing look. Bridgette turned a bright shade of pink and smiled. "Thanks, I guess." She sat there for a moment and then suddenly stood up. She pulled a stray hair behind her ear and checked if her ponytail was holding up properly, then she knocked on Chris's office door. There was a lot of rustling and loud movements and then, "C'min" She barely heard it but opened the door.
The office was filled with crap of all shapes and sizes. As she walked past it, Bridgette said, "Um, Chis. You haven't heard anything from the guys have you? They're late." Chis nodded and motioned to the only empty seat. She sat down. "Actually, yeah. They said something about being back by 4:00 and they said the meeting went fine. So no worries." He leaned back on his chair and began playing with his iPhone. "Really, that's it?" Bridgette looked weary.
She sat there for a moment and then her pocket buzzed. Her hand moved to her hip and pulled out her cell.
"Hello?" She whisper-said. "What? No you.. what?" Her moss-green eyes became wide. "You're kidding right? Am I on some t.v show? Punk'd or something?.. Really? How much? What? She's going to have a fit. Yes, I have to tell her. Okay, I gotta go. I'm in Chris's office. Yeah, I know. Ha, right! Yeah, bye." She closed her cell and shoved it into her pocket. Glancing up to see if Chris heard, she sighed. He was still playing Max Dirt Bike on his phone. Quietly sneaking out of the office she walked over to Beth and whispered in her ear.
"No way! They didn't.." Bridgette shh-ed her. "You'll come with me right? I'll go get Izzy and Courtney. They should come too." Beth gave her a pinky-promise and walked over to get her coat and pink Barbie bag. Soon Izzy was up and sneaking around, taking large weapons from her hiding spots. Moving to behind the picture of the founder, she took throwing stars and put them in her large, padded bag. Bridgette approached Courtney. Courtney looked up, "What's going on? Are you three going somewhere?"
"No we four are going somewhere. Courtney you should know that.." Bridgette's voice trailed off. Ten seconds later Courtney's jaw dropped, "They what!! When I get my hands on them.. What were they thinking!!" She yelled. Noah rolled his eyes, "Take cover folks, the bomb went off.." He muttered. Courtney continued to scream and the entire office was watching her. "Really? Who would.. I bet it was.. I know it was.. Good God!!" Izzy had gathered her weapons and Beth was waiting at the door.
Cody stood up looking nervous."Where you going, Beth?" Beth twiddled her thumbs, "Ah, urgent busineth to take care of." She said. "Oh, do you have to go?" Cody asked sheepishly. "Cuz, I was thinking after work we could hang out. Y'know, together. I could show you my Naruto card collection." He nodded. Beth looked over to Bridgette, who gave her the thumbs up. "Okay then, I'll stay." Beth grinned happily. She put her coat back on the rack and slung her pink Barbie purse over her shoulder and walked over to her desk with Cody.
Bridgette turned to Courtney who was already out the door forgetting her jacket and purse. Izzy was bouncing behind her. "Y'know I'm thinking of changing my name to E-scope. Don't you think it's pretty? You can say, 'Hey E-scope' and 'E-scope this' and 'E-scope that'. Courtney ignored her and stomped down the stairs, Bridgette was close behind them.
"Remember Court, just stay calm." Courtney had calmed down, she was now furiously muttering to herself instead of yelling. "We're taking my car." She said, louder than needed. The three approached the small, blue BMW. While climbing in, Courtney ordered for utter and complete silence. Izzy was in the back and Bridgette had taken shot gun. Courtney sighed and scowled, she drove fast and stopped abruptly at every stop sign or red light. "You've been awfully quiet.' She said to Bridgette after a while.
Bridgette looked confused, "You said to be quiet." Courtney nodded, "I know. I meant about everything. What do you think of it?" She asked, trying to ignore Izzy's howls as she stuck her head out the window. "Woof!! Owowow!!" Izzy cried at the top of her lungs. "Well, I'm waiting to hear their side of the story." Bridgette muttered. Courtney smiled her onyx eyes crinkling, "Okay.." Izzy howled again, and shook her crazy hair. Izzy's face was blank, yet she continued to woof loudly. Bridgette turned on the radio and looked out the window. Her countenance was the look of someone who wanted to start laughing but tried to contain herself.
Occasionally looking over to Courtney she saw that she had gone back to silent, malicious, muttering and Izzy had stopped howling and put the window up. Izzy had now crashed in the back of the car and was drooling on the leather. Bridgette didn't say anything thing as to not upset her friend further. When they had gotten to their destination, Courtney parked towards the back. "You never know who's at these types of places." She grumbled to herself. The three stood in front of the building, as they stood there and read the sign Courtney and Bridgette sighed. Izzy grinned. Springfield County Police Department, the sign said. Courtney's face looked grim, she scowled as she walked towards the door.
Storming in, she looked around frantically and then spotted them. Bridgette and Izzy followed, Izzy turned to a man in a blue uniform. "Joe.." The man nodded, "Isabella." She growled menacingly at him, "It's Izzy!" She stomped off. The girls stopped in front of a cell and Courtney crossed her arms and tapped her toe impatiently. The four men in the cell looked up. "Oh crap," The one closest to her said. Courtney's frown increased.
"Yeah, you better 'Oh crap', Duncan!" She cried loudly. "What did you guys do to get yourselves in here?" She questioned. Bridgette held on to the bars and looked at Geoff. He looked slightly dazed, but smiled back. Izzy was jumping up and down waving to Owen, who looked so excited to be in a real jail cell. Dj had fallen asleep in the corner sucking his thumb.
Joe, the officer, approached the group. Courtney looked inflamed, "What did they do?" The man smirked, "They were arrested for drunk driving-" He was cut off by Duncan who protested. "Aw c'mon. Geoff looked sober!" "I asked him to walk in a straight line on the side of the road and he fell over, plus you were speeding." Joe said. He turned to Courtney, assuming her was responsible for them. "We can get three of the out for a small charge, but he-" He pointed at Duncan, "has a large file and will be sent in for questioning." Courtney nodded, she whipped out the company credit card and Joe let Geoff, Owen and the newly awakened Dj out.
"Hey, drunkie." Bridgette smiled, giving Geoff a new nickname. Geoff grinned, "Ugh.. can you drive me home Bridge.. I don't feel so good." Bridgette nodded and Dj and she helped bring Geoff to the company van. Izzy walked back with Owen to the car, that left Courtney and Duncan. Courtney scowled, but it softened when he approached. "Come back out soon, okay?" She said. "I'll wait." Duncan smirked. "Yeah sure, Princess." He winked.
