Nicholas Foxworth Crane was sitting on his bed wishing that he was anywhere but where he was. The thought entered his mind that he would like to get out of the little town of Harnony , Maine. Things had been very stressful in the last few months, starting with the marriage of his brother Ethan. The thing was Ethan was in love with some mysterious woman that was not of their social standing. He would never tell her name and only that she had taken off after a fight that they had about her not being good enough for the Crane heir. So there had been more fighting with him and the family. He was now considered to be the black sheep and that was once where Fox himself had been , not so long ago. Ever though he had declared the black sheep, Alister still thought that he would be this best for the job at Crane industires. Ethan was still that heir, and Fox was still the second one on the list, after Ethan. His own father was still one ahead of him and that was saying something. Even with all this going on Fox desided to go out of town for a few weeks or so, his fianl thought was to go to Havanna, Cuba. Something about the place was calling to him, even though he had never been there or even thought about going there. There was something exciting about the tropical island and he was going to explore its beauty and see what was held there, what was there that was calling him.
Fox packed his things and called ahead to arrange for the Crane jet to be ready and waiting when he arrived. He grabbed his things and took one more look at his room and walked out the door and down the massive staircase. As he made it to the bottom of the stairs, he met his mother, whom was beinginning to retreat up stairs. The questionable look that she gave him made him want to let her know that he was leaving , so he simply said: "I am leaving for a while mother and I will be back in a few weeks or a month."
"Well, why are you doing that, Fox?" Fox only shrugged his shoulders and gave his mother a hug and walked out the oversized door. As he walked out he ran into his brother, which whom had the same look that his mother had carried. Fox figured.
"I know, I know Ethan. Where are you going? Fox looked up. " I am going away for a while. I think that I am going to go to Cuba. Don't ask why, cause I don't know myself. So now if you will excuse me, I have a plane to catch."Ethan said nothing as Fox walked away and got in his car and speed out of the drive and onto the road. Ethan then walked into the house to meet his mothers gaze , as she still looked at the door that Fox had just walked out of.
"Mother is something wrong?" Ivy came out of her daze.
"Yes son, I guess. Did you see Fox just then?"
"Yes, he said that was going to Cuba. Why would he go there?"
"Ethan you know as well as I do, nothing that Fox does , I know about until it hits the damn newspapers. Fox never has any logic, but reguardless, I think that he just needs to get away for a while. He'll be back when he's ready." And with that Ivy retreated up the stairs and into her bedroom, leaving Ethan still wondering what was going on.
