"I'm hearing crickets here guys, talk to me." Oz sounded agitated on the phone.
"Uh, Oz I think we have an affirmative on that one." Jeff chimed in sparing Lizzie and Kerry from the need to respond.
"Are you kidding me? Lizzie, what the hell has gotten into you?" Oz asked harshly and she felt a tear roll down her cheek as she looked at Kerry. It had been so wonderful to be with both of them and now she knew it was just destiny and all crap at that. This was never her choice, never. She wanted to scream and cry at the same time.
Jeff reached out, placing his hand on hers stroking over her fingers with his thumb.
"And, the fourth Oz, what's the fourth?" Kerry cleared his throat and squeaked out the question.
"I don't even want to ask." You could almost hear him shaking his head on the other side of the phone.
"Just tell us and then for God's sake find out what the last 3 gates are so there aren't any more mistakes." Jeff's word rang in her ear...mistakes...he had called them all mistakes.
"The fourth is said to be a moment of shared pleasure for two prior lovers and the vessel. It sounds like a 3 way to me, so who wants to tell me I'm thinking about this one wrong." Oz's words came out.
"Shit!" Jeff exclaimed slamming his hand on the table and jarring Lizzie from her shock.
"I'm sorry Oz, it looks like I'm a whore. I was born and lived through hell all to be everyone's whore! Go find out how I whore myself out next huh? Little innocent Lizzie was supposed to stay chaste or is it that I'm supposed to die. Well, fuck this...not fair, I didn't want any of this. I just wanted to stay in my house and have no one bother me. Now, look, I try to be happy just for a little bit and look what happens. The angels warned me to stay chaste, but I had to be a whore!" Lizzie was wailing as she finished her statement and she took off down the hallway to her room.
"Lizzie, wait...uh..." Kerry tried to speak.
"Kerry, let her go, let her have some time to take this in." Jeff tried to sound reassuring.
"I thought you two were supposed to keep her safe, not turn that place into an orgy. What the hell were you thinking? Tom gave you someone special to protect and neither one of you could keep it in your pants long enough to find out why she's special. I thought I taught you better than to mess with special beings like her. You may have just doomed her if I don't find out more." Oz was furious at them. He knew Lizzie and he cared for the girl. He could tell just how wounded she was when she first came to see him. They had enjoyed talking and sharing in some drinks. He couldn't imagine something happening to her. Couple that with two of his best agents clearly acting like idiots and he was beside himself.
"I don't know what to say Oz. She's perfect." Jeff shook his head at himself; unable to comprehend how he hurt the woman he was in love with.
"Can you try to find out the rest Oz? Do you need help?" Kerry tried to contain himself. There was something about watching Lizzie cry that made his insides churn.
"Let me see if I can locate the rest of this manuscript and I might send you guys to get it. Until then, try to behave." Oz hung up leaving both men staring at their salads with no appetite.
