She jumped and turned around. "Lance don` do that to me."
"Sorry, so did you look for him yet?"
No, ah just got here."
"Have any problem getting away?"
"Not really, ah mean Scott wanted to walk me back, but ah insisted ah'd be fine."
"Well, Summers is always like that."
"Like what?"
"Watching out for you guys."
"He's leader."
"Well, if we're going to see if Alex is in there, we got to get closer." Lance told her.
"Ah know, but what if he sees me?"
"I'll make sure he doesn't." Lance said as he sighed. "You want me to check for you?"
"You'd do that for me?"
"Sure, why not."
"Okay."
Lance smiled at Rogue and went across the street and peered into the window of the Seafood Cafe. He smiled and went inside. Rogue watched him enter the restaurant, hoping she made a good choice of having Lance help her. "May I help you sir?" A waiter asked.
"Yes, do you take reservations?"
"We do." He nodded.
"Can you tell me if an Alex Summers had reservations here, he's my brother and I heard he was here."
"Let me check." The waiter said going through the book and smiled. "Yes, it says here he's already checked in with his girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?"
"Yes, a very lovely girl with long blonde hair. Kind of on the ditzy side if you ask me though. Would you like me to get him?"
"No, it's all right." Lance said holding in his anger. "Just doing you know the older brother check-up on him. Promise not to let him know I'm here?"
"I promise." The waiter nodded as Lance walked out.
Rogue stood impatiently as Lance hurried across the street. "Well?"
"He's there."
"And?"
"I'm sorry Rogue."
Rogue bit her lip to keep from crying. "It's all right. I should have known."
"Hey, I'm going to check on Rogue." Scott said giving some money to Evan. "I'll meet you guys at the hotel okay?"
"Scott, did rogue say anything to you?" Jean asked.
"No." He said looking at Jean. "You know something." He noticed Kitty put her eyes down looking at her plate. "And so does Kitty." He said sitting back down. "Tell me."
"We promised."
"If my sister zis in trouble?"
"No, she's like not in trouble."
"Come on Kitty." Evan said.
Kitty sighed and looked at Jean who nodded. They would take the consequences later. "Let Kitty explain and then you guys can talk."
"Rogue got an e-mail from Alex, but it wasn't to her. It was to a girl named Christina. He told her he really liked her and had fun on they're date and hoped for another. He also said he did have a girlfriend, but he dumped her that morning. Rogue showed me the e-mail confused about it and that's the main reason why she didn't want to come here. Jean suggested the Seafood Cafe for dinner, because that was where Alex had asked Christina to dinner for tonight. At the beach it was Fred who tossed the Frisbee over Todd's head and hit our sand castle. Rogue returned it, the e-mail fell out of her pocket and they read it. In the lobby Rogue explained to Jean what was going on and was going to tell you Scott, but Rogue ran after her to stop her. She didn't want you guys to get worried about it. And I think the headache was an excuse to see if the e-mail was real."
"So she went to the Seafood Cafe to see if Alex was there with this Christina girl?" Evan asked.
"That explains it." Scott said shaking his head.
"Explains what?" Jean asked.
"When Rogue and I were talking on the way here to the pizza place, she asked me if Alex was ever cheating on her would he let me know." He stood back up. "I'm going to find Rogue."
"We'll like come with you." Kitty said.
Scott shook his head. "No you guys go back to the hotel."
"But Scott...."
"Just do it Jean." He said taking off.
"So now what are you going to do?" Lance asked.
"Ah'm not sure. Ah mean he can` stay in there forever, right?"
