...Chapter 1...

For the past few weeks, Crystal Davidson has been going crazy with worry, because her best friend Nicole, since they were in fourth grade, had gotten into a huge fight with her father, then took off, and Crystal hasn't heard from her since. She just can't believe nobody's gone out to look for her, because everyone thinks she's gone to cool off, but something doesn't feel right with Crystal, and she wanted to find her fast. The only thing was, she didn't even know where to start.

As Crystal was walking into her coffee shop to open it up, she noticed the door was unlocked. She carefully went inside, then got startled. "Jesus Christ, Juice... you scared the shit out of me." she took a deep breath as he walked up to her. "We're not even open yet, what are you doing here?"

"Where's my girlfriend?"

Crystal raised her eyebrow. "Oh, now Nicole's your girlfriend? Even though, she caught you with Monique, after you told the crow-eater whore that you had no girlfriend?"

"It was a mistake and Nic should know that."

"Well, you're the reason her and Clay were arguing, that made her take off."

"Clay's never said anything to me."

"Why would he, Juice? I don't think he's gonna kill or hurt his number one computer geek." he frowned. "For whatever reason, she still defended you to him and Clay told her not to see you anymore or end it."

"How do you even know all of this?"

"I was at our condo, in my room when they were fighting, but neither of them knew I was there."

"Well, has Nic gotten a hold of you?"

"No, she's not answering her phone and nobody's seen her."

"Okay, why hasn't anyone tried looking for her?"

Crystal sighed. "Because they all think she's gone somewhere to cool off. I mean, she's done it before, but this time, something's not right... I can feel it."

"How come you haven't talked to Jax or Clay about it?"

"They won't listen, including Gemma. I've tried telling Jax, but all he tells me is "she's cooling off." Crystal used her quotation fingers. "But I have been trying."

Juice nodded. "If Nic does get a hold of you, will you let me know? I really need to talk to her."

"All right, fine."

"Thanks, Crys." he gave her a hug and walked out. She just shook her head and got the shop ready for the customers.

An hour later, the door opened, and Crystal looked up. "Cassie, you're ten minutes late, and where's Katie?"

"Oh, you don't know?"

"Know what?"

"Opie gets out today and Katie went with Donna to pick him up."

Crystal groaned. "That's right, I forgot... I just." she trailed off.

"Still no sign of Nicole?"

"No." Crystal shook her head. "But where ever she's at, I'm sure she's okay."

"Just think positive." Cassie shrugged. "I mean, it's all you can do right now."

"Yeah." Crystal gave her a weak smile. "All right, let's get to work."

"You got it, Boss." Cassie laughed, giving her a half ass salute, then went behind the counter, and walked into the office.

Thirty five customers and two hours later, Jax and Chibs walked in. "Hey Love." Chibs smiled.

"Hey guys." Cassie smiled, as they went up to the counter. "What can I get for you?"

"Crystal." Jax smirked.

Cassie shook her head and chuckled. "She's in her office."

"Thanks, Cass."

"Yeah, yeah." she rolled her eyes, then Jax walked behind the counter. "So what would you like, Chibs?"

"Just ice water, Love."

"Coming right up." she nodded, grabbing a cup.

Jax opened the door and went inside. "Hey." Crystal smiled. "What's up?"

"Nothing much." he leaned up against her desk. "Just came to tell you that there will be a party for Opie tonight."

"At the clubhouse, right?" he nodded. "Is Wendy gonna be there?"

"Crys, we're divorced, you don't need to worry about her."

"I'm not worried about her." she shook her head. "But the divorce isn't final yet and she loves to remind me any time she can that you are still her husband."

Jax grabbed Crystal's hand and started rubbing circles with his thumb. "Just ignore her."

"All right." she nodded. "And Tara?"

"Don't worry about her either. I haven't even talked to her that much since she's been back." he shrugged. "I doubt she'll even be there tonight."

"Fine." Crystal sighed heavily.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Okay." she started. "Don't get me wrong... I'm extremely happy that Opie's finally out of Chino and all, but we're gonna be celebrating his homecoming and Nicole is out there somewhere and God only knows where she is."

Jax groaned. "Like I told you before, she's probably taking a break or something."

"She may not be your blood, but she's your sister... it's like you don't care enough to even look for her." he took a deep breath. "I'm really worried about her, Juice is too."

"Okay, okay." he pulled Crystal up to her feet and gave her a hug. "I'll ask around to see where she went."

"Thank you."

Seconds later, Jax backed up to give her a kiss, then let go. "I'll see you tonight."

"Okay." she nodded, then Jax walked out of the office.

"You ready, Chibs?"

"Yep, Jackie Boy."

"See ya, Cass." Jax said, then Chibs waved.

"Bye guys." she waved back, then they left the coffee shop.

After Crystal and Cassie closed the shop, they headed over to the clubhouse for the party, which was in full swing. Crystal went up to Opie and gave him a hug. "Welcome home, Ope-ster!"

"Yeah, it's good to be home." he let her go and looked around. "Where's Nic?"

"Don't know." she shook her head. "She's out somewhere."

"Ope!" Jax yelled, waving at him.

"Enjoy your party. "Crystal smiled. "I'll go mingle with Donna and Katie."

"Okay." he nodded. "It's good to see you." then he went over to Jax.

As Crystal was about to walk up to them, her phone rang. She dug it out of her pocket and pressed the talk button. "Hello?"

"Hey, it's me."

"Hey, Marie... you're missing one hell of a party." Crystal paused. "Hold on, I can't hear you, give me a second." Crystal walked over to the garage into the office. "Okay, there... what's up?"

"You need to get Clay, Jax, Gemma, and Juice to St. Thomas, now."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Nicole's been brought into the emergency room." Crystal gasped. "And she doesn't look good."

"Oh, my God." Crystal whispered, then the phone slipped from her fingertips, onto the ground.
