Once Megan had left with Mera. This left Cal alone. Now he was curious and left in heartbreak and needed answers. According to Lightning, Cleo was responsible. Cal tapped hosnhead. Pacing. Trying to remember this Cleo person. Cleo.. Cleo.. Nothing. Still drawing blanks! Hr was frustrated. Maybe the internet. He went and sat down at his computer and typed in

Cleo.

Then stared. Cleo what? Cleo wasn't going to find anything on the web. He sighed. Cleo what.. What could be her last name. Maybe of Radiator Springs? So he tried that.

Cleo of Radiator Springs

ENTER.

That did pop up results. Quite a few actually.

Former Mayor of Radiator Springs, Cleo De Frank, Arrested on Assault, rape, and kidnapping charges.

Cal's eyes widened. Who the heck was this woman? He clicked that and read the article. Scrolling down he saw her photo. The fake blonde.. Now he remembers! Cleo De Frank! Lightning had dated her. Or tried to. The remote. THAT'S what he was after when he had the accident! Now Cal remembered! It was the cup! Cal quickly grabbed his jacket and keys and headed out in a hurry!...

Sally searched everywhere in the computer files and then the papers she had in boxes in her office. If it wasn't here, it had to be in the garage back at her house. Sally.sorted through one last box before giving up. Then she found it. Oh god.. She forgot about it! She had it here in her hands now and with the date, she'd have to get Lightning another one to sign. But.. This meant Lightning was still Miguel's legal father. Cruz didn't need to know this was still legit until after Lightning signed for another one. Because Sally feared that Lightning would be convinced into something by Cruz...

Jackson's phone rang. He heard it and felt around trying to find it. He wasn't having much luck though. Trash.. Tossed.. Trash.. More junk! He growled as he tried finding it! "I hear you now where the fuck are you!?" he yelled. Finally he stood up and shouted "Answer on speaker phone." The device stopped ringing and loudly said

An inmate by the name following from such prison is attempting to reach you by request. Cleo De Frank.

Jackson was a little surprised.

Do you accept?

"Uh.. Yes." he questioned himself there.

The phone beeped then Cleo spoke up.

Hey Jackson.. How are you?

"Could be better." still trying to find his phone.

Tell me.. Is it sunny outside today or cloudy? I was told it was suppose to rain earlier. Might even see a rainbow.

"I hate rainbows. To much color."

Cleo snickered.

You sure are funny. I like you blind. Makes you so much more funny..

"Why did you use your phone time to call me?"

I have the remote. There's enough signal in this place I can press the button anytime and you have full sight again.

Set aside HOW Cleo would have snuck a remote in..

"You're lying."

I thought you'd say that. So here's my proposal...

Sally came home and was instantly greeted by her daughter and her oldest son! "Mommy! You're home!" shouted Colton! Sally kneeled down and hugged the two of them. Then Lightning approached ans he leaned against the wall. He couldn't help but smile at his little family. "How was work?" Lightning asked kindly. Sally sighed answering "Work. Hey, I found the file." She added quickly. Lightning was happy to hear that! "Great! So everything is how we thought. I mean it's good." he stated. Sally frowned a bit explaining "Not exactly. I found the file. The file. The one you handed me.. I forgot to fax it over.." She was really embarrassed of that.

Lightning's brows lowered. "What? So what's that mean exactly?" he asked. "That you are Miguel's legally written father. For now.. I have a request to relinquish parental guardianship here." Sally then handed Lightning the form. "Just fill it iut and give it to Dianna first thing Monday. She will know exactly what to do and will take care of it." Lightning glanced at the form and frowned. It was a little annoying that Sally just brushed something so important off. But he had another question, "So how come when Cruz was in court trying to gain custody of her son back, I was never called or asked to appear or anything?" he asked.

Sally easily answered that "Well.. Some things slip through the cracks. Especially these kinds of things. The Judge would have asked Cruz if the father was involved. She probably answered no, thinking they meant his birth father, but they meant the one written in the files.. You." "So?" Lightning snapped. Sally sighed continuing "A lot of times, unless the father is present in those type of trials.. The court just disregards it with the attitude of when and if the father comes to them, then they will deal with it. Especially with people of Cruz's... Type.." Sally muttered that last part gently. Lightning glared correcting "You mean because her latin heritage."

Sally frowned a little. She didn't want to just say it like that, but it was true. Sally then made clear, "Just get this done Monday morning. Don't let Cruz know though.. I'm afraid she'll find a way to turn this some how.." "Cruz isn't like that." Lightning scolded. But really he wasn't sure. Sally only snapped back "Don't you dare start defending her again!" Lightning took a deep breath and nodded. Letting this go. "Look, just get it done." Sally repeated. Lightning nodded again without a word. At least it was going to be taken care of.

Monday...

Megan walked into Cal's old office where Lightning was sitting with his lawyer at the moment. He and Dianna stared at Meg and Lightning asked "Megan.. Hey." Right.. He told Cal what happened. Crap. Megan walked up asking "Have you talked to Cal? Sense AFTER you told him about us!" she added. Dianna snickered and shook her head before asking "Wait.. So you've seriously slept around with her to? Geez..Good thing you have me.." she muttered. Lightning shot a short glare toward Dianna before answering Megan. "No. Is everything alright?" he asked. Megan shook her head. "I left him Saturday night to give him space.. But I called and texted yesterday and nothing. Figured he might be watching the race so I thought nothing of it. But I went over there, back home this morning and he wasn't there. Neither was one of the cars!" She was in panic.

Lightning sighed and instructed "Call him again." "Gee, I never thought of that!? I did!" Then Megan slammed Cal's phone down on the desk. Lightning immediately felt a knot growing. Worried now, he asked "Have you called around town? Cal is a grown man.. Might have just stepped out for a bit.." Lightning tried making her calmer. Megan only snarled answering "Yes! ofcorse! No one has seen him! He isn't suppose to even be driving and now he's god knows where and no phone, no gps, no medicine that he is suppose to be taking! And all because of you!" She was panicking again.

Lightning raised a brow asking "Why doesn't he have gps?" "He took the, the panther." she explained. Lightning sighed. That was just an old 70s Italian sports car. "What else did you say to him?" Meg asked. "Because now I am so worried that.. With his memory right now.. What if he's lost? What if he forgot what he was doin?" Lightning stood up and tried to comfort Megan but she shoved Lightning hard against his chest snapping "This is your fault! If anything happens to Cal I swear to god I will"-"Ahem." Dianna interrupted. Lightning and Megan glanced at her and the business woman held out her hand toward Cal's wife saying "Hi, I'm Dianna Swwann. His lawyer."

Lightning shook his head scolding in a quiet growl, "Not the time.." Megan was furious and stomped out saying "Anything that happens to Cal is on your hands.. I just hope you can live with it.." She about left, but turned back and added "Actually I hope you can't. I hope it eats at you and eats at you until everything you have done to me, to Cal, to your so called wife! To your kids! I hope it all finally gets to you and your hearltess fucking ass and kills you! Slowly!"

Lightning remained quiet. Honestly, it was shocking to hear that from Megan! Then she left, slamming the door behind her. Dianna shook her head and sarcastically said "You sure know your way with women huh?" Almost chuckling quietly under her breath. Lightning quickly grabbed his jacket and keys. Dianna stopped him asking "Hold on, where are you going? We aren't done with legal matters here." "I have to help look for Cal." "You step out of this office without finishing this paperwork then you are still Miguel's father." Lightning nodded and left. Finding Cal was a more immediate matter.

On his way out, Lightning was stopped by a familiar person he was definitely not expecting. Storm. Making his way down the hall as he held the wall and used his cane. Lightning approached him and quickly asked "Hey, what are you doing here?" Jackson looked toward Lightning's voice answering "I came to see you. Glad you found me because I get lost easily in these halls." Right, because he was blind. Lightning needed to search for Cal. "I really don't have the time Storm.. Cal.. Um.. Can we meet tonight?" "Sure, I'll just walk back to my car, drive to a hotel for a while and watch some tv." he was rudely sarcastic. Lightning glared a bit explaining "Cal is missing right now.. He could be in serious trouble.. I have to go. If you wanna talk about.. Whatever? That's fine, but not now. I'll call you." And Lightning left quick. Right now, he was just more worried about Cal than anything...
