Chapter 6
It had been four days since Paul had gone missing and no matter how much they searched and called for him they couldn't find him anywhere. They had been on the island nearly a week now and although they had sorted out a food and fresh water supply and had started making their camp more comfortable Steph spent most of her time on her own or with Chris talking to him. He would just sit there listening to her talk about Paul and how worried she was about him.
"Im sorry for keep making you listen to me talking about Paul" Steph says bringing her knees close to her and hugging them tightly, the sun was starting to set on the horizon casting the last of it's bright red and orange rays onto them. Chris throws the last of the stones skimming across the water before walking over to her and sitting down.
"I don't mind, I know you're worried about him. He'll be alright, besides its good that we can talk to each other about stuff like this right?" Steph just nods her head, he puts his arm around her and she lays her head on his shoulder. They'd spent all evening on the beach, mostly on the huge sand stone rock that sat at the edge of the sea, the one that they had been fishing off of when Paul had disappeared. When the tide was at it's deepest all along the coast you could dangle your feet off the edge of the rock into the water. "Wanna go back now?"
"Yeah alright" Chris gets up and puts out his hand to her, he walks over to the edge and jumps down into the sand before turning and helping her down too.
"Is there really any point in us going ahead with it!?, I mean it's worked now so we shouldn't have to finish It!" Adam says angrily throwing a piece of driftwood at the cave wall, he goes to throw another one but Andrew snatches it from him and chucks it onto the fire.
"Look I know it sucks but we cant just abandon it half way through, Paul had to so we have to as well, it's not fair if he had to and we don't and just stay here in.luxury" Andrew sighs "Look just shut up now, they are coming. We'll talk about it later" Chris and Stephanie walk towards them.

"Chris are you awake?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I heard them talking"
"Who?"
"Adam and Drew, they said something about tomorrow"
"What about tomorrow?"
"I'm not sure, I didn't hear much but something is going to happen tomorrow"
"You sure?"
"Something about Paul"
"Don't worry, it's probably nothing, we'll talk tomorrow"
"Ok, your probably right"
******************** "So what exactly did you hear?" Chris asks crouching down in front of her and taking her hands, he looks over to where Adam and Andrew are sitting eating their breakfast, drinking their tea and whispering to each other. "There is definitely something going on, I just don't get what"
"I didn't hear much, they stopped as soon as they saw me standing there. I just pretended I was doing something else and wasn't listening to them; it was just after we'd eaten. They were talking about today and a plan or something. Adam was saying how he couldn't go through with it because he didn't want to but Drew told him he had to. I didn't hear anything else. What's going on?" Steph looks over to them too, they look over their shoulders at her before going back to whispering "I hate this" she whispers putting her arms around Chris's neck.
"I'll go sort this out" Chris gets up and walks over to Adam and Andrew, Steph watches as he talks to them. Adam and Andrew are pretending he doesn't know what he's talking about and they keep shrugging their shoulders and telling him he's mistaken. Steph flinches and puts her hands over her eyes as Andrew and Adam jump to their feet after Chris has obviously said something to make them angry.
"You calling me a liar!" Adam yells shoving Chris backwards.
"That's exactly what I'm calling you, now tell me what the hell is going on!" Chris shouts back pushing Adam hard in the chest, Adam stumbles backwards and lands in the sand. Andrew grabs Chris's shirt and shoves him against the wall of the cave.
"Stop it! Leave him alone!" Steph pushes Andrews arms off of Chris and stands in between them "Stop fighting, please! Look I heard you two talking, we know there's something going on and I suggest you tell us now what you lot have been planning, you have exactly three seconds to start talking.both of you! 1..2.."
"Ok! We'll tell you!" Adam shouts jumping up to his feet, Andrew glares at him and shakes his head for giving in so easily. Steph pushes them towards the boulders they had set out as seating next to the fire and makes them sit down. Chris looks at Steph amazed, she had so much control over them and she'd hardly said anything.
"Adam!" Andrew yells punching him hard in the arm "What did you have to go and do that for!" Andrew folds his arms and sits glaring at Adam obviously angry that they had to give the plan away.
"There is no way in hell I am arguing with her, I don't care what you say and how secret this stupid plan, which might I add I didn't want anything to do with! I don't care how important it is I am telling her!" Adam says, "Before we tell you, you have to understand that none of this was our idea at all"
"Ok look, the thing is we were sent here by your dad to get you two together, and being the sick twisted individual our great boss is he got one of the writers to come up of a way to do this and they decided that by getting rid of me, Adam and Paul you guys would get to spend time together on your own" Andrew says "By the way, tell your dad I called him great, I wanna pay rise!" Andrew laughs, Adam rolls his eyes.
"Yeah so they decided that a great way to get rid of us was to kill us off or something or just make us disappear," Adam continues the story.
"So that's why Paul's missing?" Steph asks thinking that she's beginning to understand the way this plan was going.
"Well yes and no, the thing is yes he was meant to disappear.but not for another few or so..him disappearing now wasn't part of the plan, I swear we have no idea where he is" Adam stares at the floor. Steph looks over to Chris, their plan was going wrong? So where was Paul!?
