Collision 3
"We're here" Liz said. It had been ten minutes since they jumped in the cab; ten long minutes of Isabel asking questions nonstop, and Liz searching out the windows of their cab for any pursuers.
"Where," Isabel asked as she looked at all the lights shining in the amusement park.
"We're at the Pier, Liz said. "Come on. We have to find…" she trailed off distractedly as she retrieved her Blackberry from her Birkin Bag.
"Liz, who are we looking for" Isabel asked, kicking herself for trusting Liz despite better judgement. The girl was acting too secretive and flaky for her liking.
"Isabel!" She heard someone shout her name in the distance. Looking around she could see Michael running towards them. 'Thank god' she thought. "Michael, I'm right here!" she shouted.
"Why don't you alert the media," Liz admonished. 'These hybrids really should learn how to be more discreet' she thought to herself.
"What happened back there" Michael shouted. "All you had to do was walk in the building and make an appointment…" he trailed off as he noticed Liz for the first time.
"Hi Michael," she waved distractedly "Is that Liz?" She heard him ask as she walked a couple feet away from them. "Hello?" Liz spoke into her phone.
"What the hell…?" Michael started.
"Michael!" Tess voice came from somewhere in the crowd. "Michael! How long were you expecting us to stay in that stupid car," Tess shrieked when she caught up to them.
"You were supposed to stay in the car with Liam until we knew it was safe," Michael sighed.
"How was I supposed to…?" she trailed off when she noticed Liz walking towards them. "What the
hell is she doing here?" she screeched.
"Come on guys," Liz said as she hung up the phone. "We have to meet Max by the Carousel."
"Wow, I can't believe she's here," Isabel mumbled as Liz walked ahead of them
"Yeah, she looks good" Michael acknowledged.
"Liz was always pretty," Isabel dismissed his observation. "Hot is more like it."
"Not that good," Tess scoffed.
"What is your problem?" Isabel whispered. "It's been years. What are you waiting for, round two. Don't you get it? You already lost. He chose her."
"Whatever," Tess rolled her eyes.
"So, Liz how you been?" Michael asked as they approached a bench near the carousel.
"I'm…"
"Who cares. Where's Max?" Tess demanded.
"I'm great Michael" Liz smiled, unfazed by Tess's attitude. "Really great" she sighed dreamily.
"You?" she asked.
"I'm…" he started.
"Seriously?" Tess exclaimed. "Are we really going to sit here and pretend-" a squeal of excitement caught her attention.
"Mommy, Mommy!" Chloe-Beth cried out excitedly when she caught sight of her mother.
"Hey Baby," Liz said fondly as she picked up her little girl. "Chloe, where's daddy?"
"What the…" they started simultaneously. Their shock only seemed to grow as another little girl
identical to the first came running towards them holding Max's hand.
