They reached their destination, an underground car park in the centre of the City. Ben drove straight into and empty space and put the car into park.
"Are you ready for some fun" he said leaning over to kiss the beautiful girl in the passenger seat. Rachel returned the kiss which was growing in passion. Suddenly Ben stopped.
"Right, lets go, you got your ID?" he asked
"Yep, in my wallet" Rachel replied as she flicked the phone opened to find a couple more missed calls from her father.
"Everything OK?" Ben asked
"My Dad has been phoning, he knows I'm not in the house, I'm going to be in so much trouble"
"Well" Ben said placing a hand on Rachel's shoulder "Just means you will need to enjoy tonight as much as you can, its going to be wild" he added.
Rachel smiled and walked with him to the doors of "The Sound Bar" they got easily by the bouncers who barley glanced at the ID's
"What do you want to drink?" Ben asked
"A diet Coke please" Rachel replied
"Come on, live a little" Ben replied
"OK, A fat coke then" she joked
Ben laughed and went up the Bar, it was early yet the club was still quiet and he was quickly served, a coke, a bottle of bud and 2 jagerbombs. Ben handed the coke and a jagerbomb to Rachel; she took a sip of the jagerbomb and screwed up her face.
"That's not how you do it" Ben said, "Watch like this" he added as he took the drink and swallowed it in one go. Rachel picked up her drink, put it to her mouth and swallowed, she felt the burn as it went down her throat,
"That was great" Rachel said as she started to drink her coke, she had only ever had a sip of her parents wine when they weren't looking before, but that tasted lovely, and quickly gave her a buzz, she only had a couple, but was already starting to feel the effects. Ben had drank much more and by now was in no state to drive them the 30 min drive home,
Kalinda was going out for the night she was meeting an old friend Jack, they were good friends and sometimes more than friends, but she was never in a relationship with him, they just liked to have fun.
They had decided to go to "The Sounds Bar", it was a great place and no one from her work would be there, it's not the sort of place where lawyers liked to hang out. She walked into the club and over to the bar when her eyes were drawn to a child. She definitely shouldn't be here, Kalinda though.
She had a look around for Jack, but couldn't see him yet, her eyes however were drawn to the girl she seen a few moments ago, she recognised her, but in the dark light she couldn't make her out. So headed to the bar and ordered a couple of tequila shots.
Will and Alicia were sitting on the sofa in the living room; Grace and Zach were back in bed and sound asleep or at least pretending to be. Lucy was in her room, she was annoyed at herself for arguing with her Dad, she wouldn't normally do that, and although she knew Rachel was the one who was going to be in real trouble she just couldn't sleep. She was worried about Rachel, and felt the urge to apologise to her Dad.
Lucy left her room and went downstairs; she could hear her parent's voices coming from the living room.
"Hi" she said quietly from the doorway
"Hay, what are you doing up?" Alicia asked as she moved over to create a space between her and Will
"I can't sleep"
"Do you want some hot chocolate?" Will asked
"Yes please" Lucy asked as Alicia got up to head into the kitchen "I'll get it" she said.
"Dad, I'm sorry I got angry and shouted at you earlier"
"It's OK darling, I do understand why you were annoyed"
"I'm scared; I don't like not knowing where Rachel is?" Lucy said
"I know sweetie, your mum and I are worried too, but there is nothing you can do, so why don't you drink your hot chocolate and then head up to bed, it's getting late." Will said as Alicia came in with 3 cups of hot chocolate and some cookies.
The 3 of them drank their hot chocolate, before Lucy went back up to bed.
