Jay and Cole rushed inside soaking wet. The rain had comes hard and suddenly.
"Man! What a down pour!" Jay exclaimed grabbing some towels and tossing one to Cole, "It's raining cats and dogs out there. I'm glad we got Zane inside before this started up."
"I wonder how Zane's feeling. Must be awful for him to lose his sixth sense, let alone having a bad cold on top of that," Cole said, drying his mop of hair.
"I'm more concerned with why he didn't tell us. He saw me at breakfast he could have said something. I would have told you and Sensei Wu, and he could have gotten back to bed and rested more," Jay commented.
"I don't know. I'm glad Sensei picked up on it when he did though. We should go and check on him," Cole said.
The two headed to Zane's room and opened the door.
"Hi, Zane. How are…Zane?" Cole was startled.
Zane was not in the room, let alone in bed where he needed to be.
Jay's eyes widened, "Where's Zane? He should be in bed! Please tell me he's not outside in this rain! He'll make himself…"
"Jay calm down!" Cole said firmly, "Maybe he just needed to go to the bathroom."
Jay was about to agree when he noticed Zane's dresser open.
He peeked inside and said, "Not unless he's planning to move into the bathroom. All his things are gone!"
Now it's was Cole's turn to have wide eyes, "Zane ran away? Why?"
"I'm guessing it's for the same reason he didn't tell us he was sick…whatever that reason it," Jay replied, "Should we tell Sensei?"
"Zane would be in huge trouble! We'll have to track him down and bring him home ourselves," Cole answered, "First we'd better bring some dry clothes and something to keep Zane warm in for once we find him. If we find him and it's still raining, we find shelter and wait the rain out before we come back here."
Jay nodded, "That's a good idea. Our main concern needs to be Zane's health. He needs to be warm, dry, and rested."
"That and one more thing," said Cole, "We need get to the bottom of why he's acting like this in order to make sure he doesn't run off again."
