Room 406, late Saturday night

[izzyalienqueen]

After getting back from Washingon, Isabel left a message for Wyatt, and stretched out on her bed. She was trying hard not to think about what could possibly go wrong in the morning but her mind kept offering up lots of worse case scenarios.

The door was open.

"And they don't trust me?" Wyatt said. He may have been sulking, just a little bit.

"It's nothing to do with trust." At least not on Parker's part. Jarod? He was a completely different story. "We're going to for stealth. And in all honesty? I like knowing you're the back-up. Because this place is scary. And if things were to go wrong. I want us out. And you're the only one that would be able to do it."

"I'm stealthy," Wyatt protested. "And what happens if you can't call me? What if your phones don't work or they get taken away?"

Re: This part NFB please.

"Not an issue," she assured him. Angelo would make certain of that. "Parker will know what's going on no matter what happens. And at the first sign of trouble, she'll call."

"I don't like this," Wyatt said, frowning. He reached out to take Isabel's hand. "I don't want you to get hurt."

"I don't either," Isabel admitted, taking his hand and squeezing it. "But there's a ten year old little girl in what's essentially a White Room. I can't leave her there."

Re: This part NFB please.

"You realize I'm going to spend all day worrying," Wyatt said grudgingly.

Re: This part NFB please.

"I should be back after lunch," she promised. "So you'll only have to worry for the morning."

Re: This part NFB please.

[blessed_twice]

"When are you leaving?" Wyatt asked. "How are you getting there? And where is there? How far away?"

Re: This part NFB please.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"In the morning. I'm driving." Because Isabel knew if she asked him to orb her there, he'd find some reason to stay. "And Blue Cove, Delaware."

Re: This part NFB please.

[blessed_twice]

"I can orb you," Wyatt said. Sometimes, the boy was predictable.

Re: This part NFB please.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Amazingly so. Not that she minded. At all. "And then never leave? I don't think so. Besides, I do like to drive sometimes."

Re: This part NFB please.

"I'd be closer if you need me," Wyatt said.

Re: This part NFB please.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You'd be orbing," Isabel replied with a small laugh. "It's not like you have to worry about traffic on I-95."

Re: This part NFB please.

[blessed_twice]

"Don't use logic on me," Wyatt pouted.

Re: This part NFB please.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Why not? It's flawless. And right."

Relieved that Wyatt wasn't insisting on going along, Isabel stretched out on the bed, and patted the spot next to her. "It's going to be okay. I promise."

Re: This part NFB please.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt stretched out next to her. "I trust Bridge and Xander and Parker," he said. "And I know you're not a damsel in distress. You can kick ass. But I'm still going to worry."

Re: This part NFB please.

"I get that. I'd do that same if it were you going off to slay dragons or demons or whatever and I couldn't come along," she admitted. "I'll call. I promise. And then I'll come back and we'll have to figure out a way to spend the afternoon." Yes, she was being evil. She was pretty sure she knew exactly what Wyatt would suggest as a way to pass the time. If thinking about it distracted him now, that was a good thing.

Re: This part NFB please.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt arched an eyebrow. "Are you suggesting some sort of bribe?" he said.

Re: This part NFB please.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'd never do anything of the sort," Isabel grinned, even as her hand slipped under his shirt.

Only to slip right back out again.

"I have news! I almost forgot."

Re: This part NFB please.

[blessed_twice]

"What?" Wyatt said, pouting for a different reason now.

Re: This part NFB please.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Meg got into Stanford," Isabel grinned, well aware of the pout and the reason for it.

Re: This part NFB please.

[blessed_twice]

"Really?" Wyatt said. "That's great. Have you heard anything yet?"

Re: This part NFB please.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I did. Meg checked UNLV's website for me," she said sheepishly. Still embarrassed that she hadn't been brave enough to do it herself. "I'm in."

Re: This part NFB please.

[blessed_twice]

"Like there was any doubt," Wyatt grinned, giving Isabel a hug.
