"You heard the news today?"
"A young man around 16 years old was found this morning, floating off shore by a recollection boat…"
"Mitchie, would you pass me the Cheerios?" Amanda, the only slightly polite of my four little sisters asked me and I passed her the cereal box, before I turned my head back on the TV; what was with that boy floating off shore? Hardly ever something interesting happens here.
"If you recognize the young man or you have any information about his relatives you can call…" My jaw dropped when a bad picture of a dirty Shane Gray with bloodstained eyes and bags underneath them appeared on the screen; the poor guy looked like shit that almost had been drowned.
"MItchie, where's my bacon?!"
"Mitchie, I want bacon too!"
"Shut up, will you?" I shouted to the twins; Annie and Allie, before I turned back on the screen, just a little too late; the news guy had already given the word to the weather man. I stood froze for ten seconds more; had I really seen him or was I just in some kind of post-Shane trauma that made me see him everywhere?
"MITCHIE, MY BACON!" Annie shouted once again and I shook the thought off my mind; like I wanted to think of him at all; I shivered at the thought of it and walked to the souffe to make the girl's breakfast.
"MITCHIE!" Kara, my 13 year old sister shouted; she ran down the stairs as she put on a green cashmere cardigan to cover her pink pajama dress; which were mine (that girl loves to steal my clothes) and hurriedly placed herself in my face "OH MY GOD; YOU SAW THAT?!"
"Kara, would you please, stay away? I'm making bacon here; you're about to leave stains of oil all over MY new cardigan!" I pushed her aside, but she wouldn't leave her excited look so I HAD to ask, just so she would leave me to cook in peace "Saw what?"
"SHANE GREY!" she shouted, rolling her eyes with annoyance and disbelief "it was him, right? The guy they found "floating off shore"?"
I dropped down the fork I had in my hand with the one I was moving the bacon; so it was real? "I-I don't know, Kara" I said, trying harder to convince myself it was a lie "Maybe the guy only looked like him…"
Kara bit her lip as she sat down on the table and served herself a plate of Cheerios "yeah, probably you're right; I mean, it would've been believable if he lived or was around here lately, but he's obviously somewhere on L.A. in a recording studio" Kara sighed, dreamily "it's just not possible…"
…but it was possible; I knew he had been here at least for the last two days and incidentally he had been lost, that was the last thing I heard from Brown Cesario. "Kara…" I picked up the fork from the floor and dropped it inside the sink "There's something I haven't told you…" I told her; I had decided to keep secret I was working with Shane Grey to avoid over-excited Kara to ask me if she could come help me and also because I didn't want to have to tell her, her biggest celebrity crush was a plain jerk "it's about Shane Gray…"
She looked at me with interest, she was obviously not waiting for the story I'd give her next "What? Has he decided to go solo? Connect 3's releasing a new album? Oh my god! They cancelled the summer tour!"
"it's not that" I nodded and took a new fork from one of the drawers and picked the made bacon to place it on the table in a large plate with paper towels in it to suck the excess of oil off them; the twins (who had been chasing each other around the house) finally sat down and eat; I sat beside Kara and faced her; I knew she'd be enormously hurt I had kept secret my close encounter with Shane Gray "Remember that call we got from Brown Cesario?"
The little Kara nodded at me, she still had no idea what was about to come.
"Well, that guy Cesario is Shane Gray's uncle..." Kara gave me an excited look which told me she hadn't understood completely what I tried to tell her "...So Shane was with him when I went for the catering job in the yacht"
Her face went from excited to angry, to thoughtful and then back again to excited "Then it IS him! The guy they found IS Shane Gray!"
