CHAPTER 2:

They all stood at the airport saying goodbye to one another, Paige's flight was the first to leave… then Ebony left for England, the atmosphere was horrid on the way back to the garage… no one said a word, when they got back they found a black phinox parked by the garage, a girl with long, curly, blond hair was walking towards the bike, she was searching her bag for something, her brown leather jacket was flopping around in the moonlight, her black heeled boots clicking on the path, her hair springing at every step she took, her black jeans matching the design on her red sleeveless top, her eyes were a sharp blue, her even skin was shining in the moonlight, she looked beautiful.

She mounted the bike and put her helmet on her head and sped off, she left her sweet smell lingering in the fresh air, just then frank, the owner of the bar next door, came out of the bar, Charlie got up and walked to him

"Frank what's up?" she asked, frank looked at Charlie than looked away,

"I have just done the biggest mistake I have ever done," he replied

"What?" she asked

"You know that girl that has just left," he said "she is my daughter, me and her mother have just had a fight over who gets to see her and when , she just heard every word of it,"

"Why did she leave then?" asked Charlie

"because she warned me if she ever heard me and her mother fight she will leave and never return, what I am afraid of is that her mother decides to come after her and anger her other side," he said,

"Her other side?" questioned Charlie

"she has two sides to her, the side you just saw and the other one I can't tell you about," he said, he went back inside and locked the door,

The others went back into the garage, Charlie shortly followed,

Everyone went to bed early that night, no one was in the mood to talk, the next day came… Charlie had a few jobs to do so she was up before anyone else, she couldn't stop thinking about what Frank said the night before… Vinnie came into the kitchen unnoticed, he came up to Charlie and hugged her, she stood up in shock,

"Hey," he said lazily

"Hi," she replied

"What 'you doing?" he asked

"Just a bit of cleaning, and a few jobs," she replied

"Need some help?" he asked, Charlie's head shot up

"If you want," she said,

"So what needs doing," said the voices that entered the room, Charlie looked towards the door to see everyone standing there,

"well, the big rig needs a bit of a clean and the tires need to be pumped up a little, the hovering needs doing in the living room, the washing up needs doing, the table tops need wiping down, the washing machine might need to be turned on, the driveway needs to be raked, the window needs to be wiped, the gardening needs doing, the driveway also needs to be brushed down, windows need opening, the gas needs checking as does the electric, the shopping needs to be collected from the shops," she listed "take your pick,"

"well I will do the hovering, the windows and the gardening," said carbine rustily

"I will man the kitchen jobs," said Charlie,

"I will sort the big rig out," offered Modo

"I will the rest," said Throttle

"right lets get started," said Charlie,

Once all the jobs were completed they all sat down in franks bar, Charlie sat on Vinnie's lap, carbine sat on the top, Throttle and Modo sat next to carbine,

"you all look depressed, what's wrong?" asked frank who was cleaning the glasses at the back of the room,

"we have nothing to do," said Charlie gravely

"what is so depressing about that?" asked Shellie, who was at the till

"last night, Paige and ebony left to go back to their home country's and city's," said carbine miserably,

"I noticed it was a little to quiet round yours," said Shellie "I'm sure they will come back,"

"its not a case of whether they come back or not, it's a case of whether they will be safe or not," said Vinnie, the others nodded

"guys get your heads out of the gutter and be happy, they will be safe, its just a matter of letting them move on, what happened to make them leave so soon?" asked Frank,

"well Paige's grandfather passed away," said Charlie

"and ebony had to go back to England to go to university," said carbine
