" It would take someone very ... different. Very tough minded. I tried it once. I let myself fall in love. I got stupid at the same time. I let her be...ome part of my life. It cost her her life. I've promised myself I won't go through that again." Hurley said her name was Elizabeth and that she was very beautiful."He nodded, saying no more."Why didn't you just become a male model ... or a TV star? It would have been so fucking easy for you. None of this shit would have been a factor. You'd have. We need a plan."Even in my manic state I saw she was right. I relaxed a tiny bit and nodded."OK," she said, "it's just him out there. I can't sense anyone but him and Caitlyn. You go out there. try to keep him talking and his attention away from the access door. Then I sneak up behind him and brain the S.O.B..."It seemed as good a plan as any with this short notice.I nodded, so we made our way to the roof door. It was obviously normally locked, but the padlock sat on the floor, broken. Nat hid. So Iguess I needed to figure out what kind of man I was going to be aboutthis. I was pretty sure if I said anything about her brother, bothrelationships were gone. What if they weren't though? What if Bethcould deal with it? I doubt it highly but one never knows. And once Iadmit that, all the steam of my argument goes out the window, no matterwhat she has done. That's just the way it goes. In the end, I decidedon the only smart thing to do. Not to admit to Brooke for sure but inrespects to. Jake on the other hand was very hungry. They sat next to one another as they ate and most of the time each of them had their hand between the others legs. It made eating awkward but was worth the effort. After dinner Jake insisted that Christine did her homework, not only so that she wouldnt fall behind at school but also so that Sheila wouldnt notice any disruption to the normal routine when she got home. He was just finishing putting away the final dishes when the phone rang. Picking it up he.
