Snippet #768415

Michy
"Leo?" A voice calls out from one of the halls. "Leo what in the hell is going on right now?" A small porcelain skinned blonde woman with delicate features and a very round belly steps onto the main room. Her already glowing face lights up when she sees Leo, her slight frown replaced by a bright smile. She rushes over to Leo and reaching up on her tip toes, throws her arms around his neck, planting a quick kiss on his lips. She giggles girlishly as he gently lifts her up off the floor, returning her kiss.

When he puts her back down the young woman's smile turns serious. "Leo, what is going on? I went to my doctors appointment this morning after visiting with my sister, who is freaked, by the way, at not being able to go home, and before you ask everything is fine, the doctor just gave me some sleeping pills to help me catch back up on my sleep, but when I tried to go back to the penthouse, there were cops abd a SWAT team there! So the body guard you assigned to me gave the driver a different address to go to off the island but they've got it all blocked off still and wouldn't let us through, but they didn't say why. So then we ended up here, which was all fine and dandy when Ana got here. Cause you know how we all used to be really close friends, but she told me that Marsueves is out and that's why she's here and you're trying to help him abd the cops are after y'all and I got really worried and-" Leo cuts her off, gently placing his massive hands on her shoulders, laughing lowly.

"God sweetheart, breathe already," he says smiling down at her. She opens her mouth to speak again but he continues on calmingly. "Im sorry about your sister, but there's nothing we can really do yet. I'm glad everythings fine with you and the baby. And I know. Someone tipped the cops off about the fact that Marsueves is with me. It's still blocked off because they haven't caught Marsueves. Yes I remember we were all friends, we've just lost touch with Ana and well Marsueves was in jail. And yes I'm trying to help Marsueves, who by the way, is right here." He motions towards Marsueves. "Matsueves, you remember Michy right?"

Michy turns and finally takes in the fact that there's an additional person in the group. Her eyes widen in surprise then she smiles happily. "Mars!" she squeals girlishly, flinging her arms open and giving him a hug, using her old nickname for him. "Oh my God it's great to see you! I've missed you and Ana so much! But we've bed so busy I haven't been able to keep in touch!" She releases him from her hug, still smiling. "Its great to see you two together again." She steps back next to Leo and smiles up at him as he wraps his arm around her waist, gently pressing his hand against her swollen body.

"Oh hey! Speaking of my sister," Michy says, looking up at Leo. "She's running short on cash abd doesn't want to have to borrow money from the restaurant to pay for her hotel room. You think she could stay with us for a couple of days or until they lift the lockdown?"

(Sorry for the mild godmodding... Basically Leo is just repeating/summing up everythings that happeed so I figured it wouldn't be too big a deal...)

Izzy
"I know... I know... Yes baby, mommy loves you too... Alright let me speak to daddy again. Goodnight Bobby. Goodnight Kayla. I love you guys. Mommy will be home soon. Be good for daddy okay? Okay..." The little voices are replaced by a deep masculine one. 'Ah Rick,' Izzy thinks with a sigh.

"Hey sweetheart," he says. "We miss you around here. Things have been kind of hectic the last couple of days. Lucky for me Mrs. Henson is helping me." Rick laughs quietly making Izzy smile. She leans back against the chair she's sitting in and looks out over the Manhatten Island skyline, pulling her knees up to her chest.

"I miss you guys so much right now too. I did not expect to be gone this long. Spending a couple extra days with my sister is cool and all but I want to come home. People are scared to go out, much less come to the restaurant. Even a lot of my MI regulars have skipped out. To tell the truth, I'm even almost too scared to go out," she says into the phone, shaking her head some. "I haven't even given Marsueves Black a thought since you an I got engaged, but now suddenly he shows up again. As an escaped convict."

"Well look on the bright side," Rick starts.

"I'm stuck on Manhatten Island with my ex-lover of like four months who happens to be a serial killer that's on the loose and who may or may not remember me or how I snitched on him and put him in jail -- granted it was only two or three months but none the less, it's still jail -- and you're saying to look on the brightside?!" Izzy asks sardonically.

"Yeah. You got to see your sister," he replies.

"Yay," Izzy says, sarcasm thick in her tone.

"Oh come on Iz. It can't be that bad over there."

"Youre right. It's worse. I've been seperated from my loving husband abd two wonderful children for almost a week already, stuck on an island with a serial killer on the loose for only God knows how much longer. Abd you're trying to tell me to relax and enjoy myself while I'm here. I'm scared Rick! I really am!" Her voice breaks slightly as tears start rolling down her cheeks. Rick sighs sadly abd lowers his voice.

"I know Izzy, I know. I wish there was something I could do," he says quietly. After a couple minutes of silence Rick gasps quietly. "Of course! Why didn't I think of it before?"

"What is it Rick?"

"Call Jim! He might be able to do something about getting you home!"

"Your brother? You think he can?"

"He should be able to considering he's a lieutenant. You've still got his number right?"

"Yeah. At least I think I do."

"Okay good. Call him, maybe he can help. I love you Iz. Be safe. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"You too Rick. Talk to you tomorrow." Izzy places the phone in it's cradle abd sighs picking up her dying cell phone. She quickly writes down Jim Garret's number and her sister's number then turns it off, wanting to preserve whatever little bit if battery power it has left. She picks up the phone again and dials Jim's number.

Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.

He finally picks up on the fifth ring. "Lieutenant Garret here."

"Hey Jim. It's Isabella. I've got a favor to ask of you."
