"Shouldn't we drive round or something, she might be hit," Ryan said in worry.
"Ok. Ryan can you come in here for a minute please?" Mike asked and both he and May-Li came into the office. Mike locked the door and closed the blinds behind them.
"What's wrong Mike?" May-Li asked.
"Sit down Ryan," He said and Ryan did so. He was very worried now.
"The police have just called. Chloe has been found dead a few miles out of the city centre," Ryan gasped and put his head into his hands. May-Li took him into her grip.
"Is it her?" Ryan asked shakily.
"They need May-Li and I to go and confirm the identity of the body found but from our descriptions they are pretty sure," Ryan cried silently. "I'm going to sort out some temporary cover while May-Li and I go to the hospital," Mike said, going to the phone.
"Can I come with ya?" Ryan asked.
"I don't think that's a good idea, do you?" May-Li told Ryan.
"No."
"Do you think you'll be ok until we come back?"
"Yeah," Ryan stuttered before leaving the office and going into Chloe's bedroom.

"What's wrong with you?" Floss asked Ryan a lunch.
"Nothin, go away," Ryan said.
"You don't sound so mean today," Tyler added.
"So what?" Ryan replied, raising his voice. "I don't have to be mean all the time."
"It's odd," Jody added. "What's wrong?"
"Nothin!" Ryan shouted, leaving the table.

Mike and May-Li came into the kitchen and Ryan turned to them.
"Well?" He asked.
"I'm sorry," May-Li said and Ryan immediately left.
"Ryan?" Sid asked.
"What's going on?" Tyler asked them and Mike carefully approached them.
"I just going to tell you guys this straight out. Chloe has been found dead by police."
"What?!" Candi-Rose cried out.
"Is this for real?" Tyler asked. "No jokes?"
"No jokes I'm afraid guys. May-Li and I have just confirmed it at the hospital."
"Can I go after Ryan?" Kazima asked. "I think someone needs to be with him."
"Yeah, just be considerate ok?"
"It's ok. I know how he feels," Kazima said, going after Ryan. "Ryan?" Kazima called out into the garden. When she saw him she sat by him and they didn't move for a while.
"My little sister," Ryan whispered after a few minutes. "I never even told her that I loved her," Ryan said and Kazima took his hand.
"Many people die quickly Ryan. I never got to say goodbye to my family."
"I need Chloe so much."
"I know, it's ok," Kazima said, embracing Ryan.
