CHAPTER 2
Another day of school passed. Finally the students got a long and good vacation. They were heading home from school when the last bell rang. Eva stood outside waiting for her father to pick her up. Even though she didn't live far from school, she liked being picked up by her dad. She turned around; she could hear her dad's car only meters away. "Dad!", she ran down the stairs to the car. "Ready to go?", Don asked as she was making her way down the stairs. Eva ran to the other side of the car and jumped in. As they were driving Don asked her: "So, how was your day?".

"Nah… nothing special. Except that I almost got beaten today!"

"What? By who?"

"Allan. But don't worry dad, he's was just being stupid"

"I will have a little talk with this young man later…"

"DAD! It's ok, you don't have to. You know I can protect myself. Besides he's NOT that strong!", Eva laughed.

"Oh, alright. Whatever you say, darling.", Don told her and just smiled.

When they came home Eva rushed to the living room and turned on the TV. She struggled to find the News channel. Don thought it was a bit weird, normally his daughter only watched races when she switched on the TV. Once he came in and took of his shoes he sat down on the couch next to Eva. "Dad, you're smart! I can't find the News channel! Help me!", she said handing him the remote control. Don only shook his head and switched the channels. When they finally found the News channel Don asked her: "Don't you want to watch the races instead?".

"No? I want to watch the news this time!"

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Haven't you heard dad? Rick is back! He's working as a coach now at the company!"

Don's eyes widen. "Really, he's back? Wow, I didn't know! Since when?"

"I don't know either. He said earlier today on the news that we could find him at the building! I'm sure he's there! Can't we go and visit him tomorrow, dad? We have a long vacation now, please!"

"Well… I suppose we could stop by and talk for a bit. Why not?"

"Really? Yes! Thanks, Dad!", Eva turned to the side and hugged him. He couldn't help just sitting there and smile. Nothing made him happier than seeing his daughter happy.

The next day, Don waked up early as usual making his morning coffee. Without coffee he looked like a retarded baboon! Don poured some coffee in his favorite cup. He got a yellow goldfish cup from Eva last year for his birthday. Since then he'd always drink anything with it! He took a sip of his cup and made his way to Eva's room to wake her up. Eva was still sleepy. Like any other teenager, she liked to sleep longer when she had free from school. She was sleeping peacefully when she suddenly felt like there was an earthquake shaking her from the inside! When she opened her eyes she could with relief see that it was just her dad trying to wake her up! "Go away…", she said as she turned around to the other side of her bed. "Rise and shine, young lady! We have a lot to do today!", he said while whistling out of her room. Eva didn't have much of a choice. She woke up and got dressed. Then she walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of cereal. "Eat quickly! I've got a lot of work to do today too! If you want to meet Rick, you have to hurry!", Don reminded her, Eva ate as fast as she could, almost like a torpedo. "I'm done! Let's go!".

She jumped in the car and couldn't sit still as they were driving to the Wei building. When they finally were there, Eva rushed out of the car and ran up the stairs towards the main doors. Before they went in Don reminded her to be nice and calm to everybody. Eva nodded without even catching a word her dad said only focusing on meeting Rick. They were about to go to the reception at the front desk when they suddenly crashed in something blue! "Ouch! Watch where you're going, you-", the thing said. Then it gasped and began to apologize: "Oh no! Mr. Wei! Ups! Sorry, I didn't see you there!". Don got back on his feet's and helped Eva up. "Ugh, what was that?", Eva asked.

"What on earth are you doing, Alice?", Don yelled angrily.

"Sorry, boss! I didn't see you! I couldn't see through this much paper!", the woman apologized again and began picking up the papers on the floor.

"Dad! You don't have to be so rude! It was just an accident!"

"Well, she has a point there, Mr. Wei!", the woman smiled at her. "Hi, I'm Alice! I believe that you are Don Wei's daughter?".

"Yep! That's me, alright! I'm Eva."

"Nice to meet you Eva!"

"Well since both of you get along, please have me excused.", Don said and started walking towards an elevator.

"Ok! See you later Dad!", Eva waved bye to her dad and then turned back to Alice.

"So what brings you here, Eva?", Alice asked her.

"I thought I'd stop by to hang out with an old friend of mine! He works here."

"He does? What's his name?"

"Rick! Do you know him?"

Alice's eyes suddenly became bigger and a slight blush appeared on her face. "Yes, he's also a good… friend of mine…".

"That's great! You can show me where he works then! C'mon let's go!", Eva grabbed her arm and began walking to the elevator. She pushed the bottom to the "training-room" and the elevator made its way down. When the doors opened, Eva and Alice walked out to find Rick. She found him right away; it was easy to recognize his long black hair, and dark sunglasses. "RICK! RICK! RICK!", Eva screamed. He turned around and saw her running towards him. She gave him a big bear-hug. "Hey, little mouse! What a surprise! What are you doing here?", he asked her and stroke her head.

"Rick! It's so nice to see you again! I can't believe it's you!"

"Well, it's still me. Same old Rick. Why don't we sit down for a bit?", he suggested.

"Yeah! I have so much to tell you!", she said and couldn't almost hold all her exciting back! She was like a balloon, almost exploding! They walked to a bench and sat down relaxing.

"How did you find me?"

"I saw you in the news yesterday!"

"Oh, yeah! That one… well, that explains everything I guess", he laughed. "but who took you here?"

"Dad did. And then I bumped on Alice. She said she knew you and that you were working here. Do you know her?"

"Well, yeah… kind of…"

"Rick. Is there something you want to tell me?", she asked and smirked.

"Oh, alright! I admit it. She's my girlfriend!"

"Really? Since when? How did you guys met? Why do like about her! Tell me everything!", Eva kept asking and asking questions until Rick put his hand on her mouth.

"Wow, wow, wow… slow down little mouse… that's another story, but since you're so excited to know so much I can tell you who I meet last week. Guess who?", Rick said and grinned.
