Liz and Courtney get out of the van and look down.

"Well it's a good thing you stopped otherwise we'd be at the bottom of the Hudson River." Courtney says.

Liz turns to Courtney with an angry expression on her face. She starts walking towards Courtney with the look of murder in her eyes.

Courtney quickly scrambles up the side of the van and stands on top of it.

"How stupid can you be?!" Liz yells furiously while a vein in her forehead pulses. "First you won't shut up about getting some stupid food, then you blow up the guy we were chasing. Do you realize how much information we could've gotten from him?!"

About that time Haley and Michelle show up. They see Speedball's car on fire and Liz and Courtney screaming at each other.

"Well look we had a problem and I solved it. You should be thanking me!" Courtney says while crossing her arms.

Liz is beyond furious now. "Thank you? THANK YOU?! I should kill you!! I swear to God if you don't come down I'm gonna kill you!!"

"Why would I come down you're going to kill me either way!" Courtney yells back.

"Well I don't want to be involved in this." Michelle says to Haley.

"You wanna go get some pizza from that pizza place over there?" Haley asks.

"Yeah sure let's go." Michelle replies.

They walk over to the pizza place and get a pizza. Then they sit by a window to watch the series of unfortunate events unfolding between Liz and Courtney.

Liz pulls out a gun from somewhere and starts shooting at Courtney.

Courtney flattens herself to the roof as Liz continues to shoot at her.

"Dang it Courtney let me hit you!" Liz shouts.

"Should we tell them the police are on their way here?" Michelle asks.

Haley takes a bite out of her slice of pizza "Nah they'll figure it out in a little bit."

As if on cue police sirens sound in the distance.

Liz looks back towards the beginning of the bridge and mumbles something under her breath and quickly gets into the drivers side of the van. She starts the van and backs up about halfway then she puts the van in drive and floors it.

Courtney is still flattened to the top of the van. She has become increasingly worried by Liz's actions. "Liz what are you doing? Liz? LIZ? WHOAH!!"

Liz slams on breaks and Courtney goes sailing over the top of the van and into the river below.

Liz smirks and proceeds to turn the van around and drives off in the other direction.

Michelle and Haley both look at each other and laugh.

"Well that was unexpected." Haley says.

"Definitely. But I think it's safe to say that Courtney's all washed up." Michelle says with a chuckle.

Haley laughs "Good one pal."

The two high five and continue to eat their pizza while the cops arrive on the scene outside.
