Beth couldn't bear to watch what may or may not happen in the next few minutes to the man she loved. Steve had broken his promise to her but at the same time it wasn't because he wanted to. He was trying to keep her and his kids safe. All she could do now was follow through on what he'd asked her to do.
She turned on her heel and walked away from the scene before her. Derek and Lisa seemed to take note of this and quickly caught up to her.
"Where are you going?! We have to do something!" Lisa exclaimed.
"I am doing something." Beth spoke hollowly.
"Dad has a plan, doesn't he?" Derek asked. "That's what he whispered in your ear, right?"
The blonde didn't answer verbally but nodded her head as she continued to walk until she happened upon a frightened crowd of people that were running to their vehicles.
"I need a car." She said lowly.
Derek and Lisa heard of course and while reluctant, they knew what they had to do. The happened upon a terrified man unlocking his Station Wagon when they both tackled him from behind. He hit his head again the side of the door, rendering him unconscious.
Beth picked up his keys and unlocked the door. "Get it."
Derek got in the passenger seat while Lisa hopped in the back. The trio were easily able to blend into the fleeing crowd, much to the annoyance of the other two giants that noticed they were still missing.
Lisa breathed a sigh of relief when the giants fell into the rear view, but her worries were still on her father and what the giants might do to him.
"So, where are we going?" Derek asked.
Beth was silent for a moment. "My mansion."
"You're mansion?" Lisa questioned. "Why there?"
"That's where we left it." The blonde replied as she turned on the radio.
The eldest sister of the Jordan family was confused. "Left what exactly?"
Beth licked her dry lips. "The original shrink ray prototype. Steve and I faked it being destroyed and stashed it away at my house in case of an emergency. It's in a special vault my father had installed under our house that only members of our family can access."
Lisa's jaw dropped.
Derek's eyes widened.
"Are kidding me? You have a secret vault under your house." She asked in complete shock.
"This almost sounds like a comic book plot if you ask me." Derek commented.
Beth agreed but this was their only chance.
"So, are you going to use the shrink ray to restore them all to normal?" Lisa questioned.
"I'll have to get the smaller model away from Nicole first." Beth reminded her.
"Right." She blushed. "Nikki will just undo everything with the portable model."
"Why don't you use that super model back at the lab. I remember dad talking about it at the dinner table." Derek suggested.
"Same problem. Nicole will just undo anything with portable model and the lab will most likely be swarming with government agents ready to capture us as soon as we set foot on the premises." Beth explained. "The prototype is our best chance to end things before..."
Derek noticed the blonde's shoulders trembling and gently place his hand on hers to calm her down. "We'll fix this, okay. Dad will be alright; he'll find a way."
"I hope so." Beth whispered.
Silence...
"So..." Lisa began. "When did you start to like our dad?"
Beth blushed.
Derek looked at his sister as if she'd grown a second head. "Lisa!"
"What?! I want to know, and we have a long drive so... yeah!"
Beth felt her heart hammering in her chest. "Well, I guess it all started when I came in to interview for the job."
She turned on her heel and walked away from the scene before her. Derek and Lisa seemed to take note of this and quickly caught up to her.
