YAY! NEW CHAPTER! And my friend told me to put this: the members of Connect 3 are NOT brothers. She got confused in this chapter when she was reading this, and she told me to clear this up.

What did she mean 'It's not safe?'" I wondered out loud. I paced the length of my kitchen again.

"I don't know," Lola said. I'd invited her to stay with me at my place. We both wanted to gather as much information as we could of Mitchie.

"Something's wrong. Something not safe. But what?" This would drive me nuts until I found out. Suddenly, I got an idea. As I developed the plan, i smiled wider and wider.

"What?" Lola asked, seeing the huge grin on my face. I explained my idea to her, but the doubt was evident on her face.

"I don't know," she said. "Will they go for that?"

"Let's find out," i said, picking up my phone and dialing the nuber.

"Okay, so let me get this straight," Ciatlyn said. "You want me and Nate to go to Applebee's and just so happen to run into Mitchie and make her spill her guts on what happened?" She and Nate were married with a son. They currently lived in Millburn, New Jersey.

"You don't even know if it's her," Nate said.

"It's her," I insisted. "I found her after all these years. It's her. Even Lola's seen her. Right Lola?" I turned to her for back up, and she nodded.

"It's definitely her. There's no way it could be a mistake."

"Well, why can't you go? Why do we have to be dragged into this?" This girl never gives up!

"We already went there. She ran off, remember? Besides, don't you want to see your friend again?" I could tell I was getting to her. I knew she'd given up hope that she'd see Mitchie again a long time ago. And now to find out that she's alive, and just a few streets down.... It was too good to pass up.

"Shane, you are the most delusional person I have ever met," Nate said. "But you're my best friend, so I'll do it. What do you say, Caity?"

"You owe us big time," Caitlyn growled at me.

Caitlyn's POV

I can't believe I'm doing this. I'll bet you anyting it's not even her. It's probably just Shane's runaway imagination again. He'd told us to ask for Mary, since that's what she goes by now. He also told us to ask for table 5. Whatever.

"Hi, welcome to Applebee's," an overly cheery girl greeted us. "Table for two" Nate nodded.

"Could we have table 5?" I asked quickly.

"Sure!" she said, then added, "Why?"

"Cause...um... cause-"

"Cause five is our lucky number," Nate said. "We were born five months apart, and we were both born on the fifth." The girl nodded and led us to the table.

"Our lucky number?" I asked when the girl was gone, raising an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Well it was the first thing that came to mind!" he said, raising his hands defensively.

"Hi, my name is Mary, I'll be your waitress tonight. Would you like something to drink?" Nte and I looked at the waitress, and my jaw dropped. Maybe Shane isn't as mental as I thought.

"Oh. My. God. I'm going to kill him!" Mitchie exclaimed. "Shane put you up to this, didn't he?" Just by saying that, she verified that she was, indeed, Mitchie Torres.

"Where is he? I will kill him with my bare hands!"

"Mitchie, wait!" I cried, grabbing her arm as she was about to walk away.

"I want to watch," i grinned, and she grinned back.

"Fine."

Woo hoo! 2nd update today! I'll post maybe one more chapter, then that'll be it. Maybe if you're good you'll get a bonus chapter...
