Girls slowly trailed in and business went on as usual. A few girls left, disappointed looks on their faces as they discovered Hunny and Mori were gone. The lack of Gray's presence also turned a few girls away. Ella tried to leave the room but couldn't go against the rush of girls. Frustrated, she sat down on a lone couch in a puff, arms crossed.
After a few minutes of Ella's annoyance she grew bored. After a sigh and a yawn, she slumped over and fell asleep. A half hour later Ella was passed out, sprawled across the couch. Gray returned without finding Hunny and Mori and went about hosting. Every now and then he shot Ella a glance to make sure she was okay and still there.
The club had closed their doors and Ella was still fast asleep on the couch. The boys had cleaned up and taken care of what needed taking care of. At that point they were ready to head home for the day. Even though Ella had slept a ridiculous amount that day the group felt guilty for even thinking of waking her up.
The Hosts stood facing each other, scratching their heads, unsure of what to do. They exchanged looks hoping one of them would come up with an idea. After five minutes of thinking, Gray had given up and was down to two options. He would either just throw her over his shoulder and carry her back to base or take her fury and wake her up. For brief moment he had thought of leaving her here for the night but remembered the kidnapper on the loose.
After a moment's hesitation, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. The others were surprised.
"We weren't having any other ideas," Gray responded to their shocked looks.
The bunch were still confused.
Gray wasn't the best at the quick lies but he had an idea for his one, "I'll give her a ride home."
"I'd thought of that," Kyoya interjected, "but none of us knew where she lived."
"I do," Gray said, "and I'll see her back safely," Gray said as he carried her out of the room and down the hallway.
