Las Vegas, Monday morning

[izzyalienqueen]

Upset over what had happened between Johnny and Savannah, Isabel hadn't slept well the night before. Around seven she gave up trying to sleep and decided to get up and start the day.

Since she didn't have any easy solutions to the situation, Isabel decided to go for the Nolan method of coping in a difficult situation and cook breakfast.

And coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

"Wanting you safe is one thing," Wyatt snorted. He could totally get that. "Controlling your life and sleeping with some bimbo is something else entirely."

"Exactly. That's over the line in a big way." Something Isabel would be sure to tell Johnny when she had a chance.

"I don't blame you for not wanting to see him."

"There have been times that he's been gone for days or weeks without any word and I never even thought about ..." She swallowed. "I don't want to see him. Probably ever again."

There was pain in her voice as she said that. "Last night was the first time I've taken off the ring since graduation."

That suited Wyatt just fine, because if Johnny showed his face he was going to punch it. Hard.

And then orb him to an isolated ledge overlooking the finest parts of the Underworld.

"He doesn't deserve you," he said.

He'd have to wait his turn. Savannah had first dibs for sure, and on behalf of liberated women everywhere, Isabel was going to do some damage of her own.

"No. He doesn't," Isabel agreed. "I guess it's better you found out now, then later on. But it still sucks."

"Part of me wants to demand why he did this or how he could do something so hurtful, but that means I would have to talk to him. I don't think that would go so well."

She shook her head and then took a drink of her coffee.

"You know he'll call you guys looking for me, right? He'll call you and then Ange."

He wouldn't call Sean or Eve until it looked like she was really missing because he wouldn't want to tell them why she had run.

"Oh, I hope he does," Wyatt said, perhaps a touch too gleefully.


[I'm off to dinner to carry on without me...Wyatt's eating his breakfast and glowering. ;) ]

"Oh please. He's stupid. Not suicidal. He knows you'll be looking to kick his ass." Isabel would put money on him trying to call her and sweet talk his way into finding out where Savannah was.

"Don't worry. We'll keep him away."

"You should call your mom though. And Sean. Let them know where you are."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah nodded. "I have faith in Annja to keep Sean from flipping out too much right now. I can only hope that this week Adam is near mom and not Gwynn. When mom and Gwynn get ideas ..."

"Smart people tremble in fear." Johnny was doomed. No two ways about it.

She nodded again. "Gwynn tends to hit first and question it later." She took a drink from her coffee. "Which is better than cast first, ask about it later."
