Room 406, Lunchtime

[izzyalienqueen]

Packing really shouldn't be that hard when she'd only going to be gone for two nights. But for some reason Isabel has packed and repacked three different times.

"You better be good Annie," she said to the small black cat currently curled up in her basket out of the way of flying clothes. "Dawn will take good care of you I'm sure and I'll be back Sunday."

Music was playing and her door was open.

[ooc: open but I'll be AFK from around 2:15-8:30]

After leaving the Rocky Bits, John's back in the dorms and trying to remain as calm as possible. It's not working all that well. And he knows he needs help because he isn't leaving her alone and he knows he can't do it himself.

He runs upstairs first and foremost and stumbles in front of Isabel's door, out of breath.

Isabel turned at the sound of someone at the door. "What's wrong?" she asked immediately, as a bad feeling suddenly grew in the pit of her stomach.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I need your help," he says without preamble.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Of course," Isabel said immediately. "What's wrong?" she asked again. Then she remembered yesterday. "Where's Aeryn?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

He shakes his head. "She's gone. Her mother showed up yesterday and wasn't hear to share cookies. Aeryn went down there to see her or something and they took her. I don't know where. But I'm going and I need help."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I was in the park. I saw what happened," she said. "Where did they take her? Out...." Isabel made a gesture towards the sky. "No matter what, I'm in."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Out," John agrees. He takes a deep breath. "I'm going to call a few other people but we're leaving as soon as I can get them. Aeryn has...transportation. And I think there's a few other ships around here."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Maybe Luke? I thought he mentioned a ship," Isabel said. "Just tell me where to be and I'll be there." She paused for a moment, "John, we will get her back."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Luke's on the list. Sam and Peter Parker too," he says. He doesn't answer the last question. "And tonight. Sooner the better. As soon as we can go."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Good. They'e all got experience," she said. "Give me a little bit to make a call and get some stuff together while you gather the rest of the troops. Just give me a call and tell me where to meet you. I'll be there."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Okay," John replies and nods. "Okay. I'll call you. Thanks, Isabel."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No thanks needed. She's my friend." Isabel motioned towards the door. "Go, the sooner we get it together, the sooner we get her back."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," he says and leaves quickly.

Several Jamies show up outside Isabel's door wearing surgical masks and gloves. In fact they are actually cleaning Isabel's door. Especially the doorknob.

"Hi Isabel. We're here to disinfect your room."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Mildly distracted as she repacked for a rescue mission, Isabel blinked at the sight for a few minutes. "Sure, go ahead. Just don't disconnect that," she said, motion to the small box and wire attached to the door frame. "You'll let the cat out."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

All the Jamies nodded in unison and quickly cleaned every surface of the room and sprayed it with lysol.

"Thanks Isabel," One of the Jamie's said slapping a "Cootie Free!" sticker to her door. "Have a cootie free day."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel stared at the sticker and shook her head, sure there was a story there. "Do I really want to know?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Germs ma'am," one of the Jamies explained in a brisk military-like manner. "They're everywhere."

"Hellooooo?" Greg called, sticking his head through the door.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh, hi," Isabel said, looking up from lacing up her boots. "I was just going to call you."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Going somewhere?" he asked, leaning in the doorframe.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," she said slowly. "There's a problem."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg immediately looked worried. "What?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Aeryn's been kidnapped," Isabel said. "John's going after her. He asked me to come with him."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg blinked slowly. "She...what?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Aeryn was sent here by the military. Last Spring she went back for a few weeks but then escaped and came back here," she explained. "Apparently they've decided they want her back. Whether she wants to go or not." She left out the part about the kidnapper being Aeryn's mother, realizing Aeryn probably wouldn't want that broadcast around.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg stared. "And you're going after her?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Not just me. Girl Sam, Luke, and Peter." Isabel held out her hand to him. "I need to do this. She would do the same for me."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg sighed, took her hand, and went to wrap his other arm around her. "You'll be careful."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I will be more then careful," she promised, wrapping her arms around him. "And Sam, Luke, and Peter? They have tons of experience with stuff like this."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"You promise?" he asked her hair.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I promise," Isabel said seriously. "We still have to go camping."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg laughed shakily. "Yeah, there's a motivation to come back in one piece."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You're a bigger motivation," she said, reaching up to touch his cheek.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg kissed her.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel kissed him back ever so gently.
