After Marissa and Ryan made it to the pool house, she began kissing
him on the lips. (Make him think nothing is wrong.) He felt good about
his decision of taking Marissa back. Seeing Theresa again only temporarily
had affected him. Kissing Marissa made him think Theresa who?
"Umm. I'm just going to be right back." Marissa said.
"Sure."
She went into the bathroom and opened her purse. In it she had a small bottle of vodka. This was not there to scare Ryan with the alcohol, but just to toast their relationship. Now it was going to be used by her to relax her nerves. As soon as she left the bathroom, Ryan grabbed her.
"Ahh. You scared me. Gezz."
"Sorry. Just thought that would be fun."
"Didn't expect you to do that."
"I could say the same for you."
"What?"
"I could smell it on your breath, the alcohol."
"I needed it."
"Why?" Ryan was getting frustrated.
"To tell you the truth."
"What truth? Just tell me. I won't get angry."
"I can't."
Marissa began walking towards the door when he grabbed her arm and pulled her around.
"Just say it."
"Eddie came by that day to the party because of me. I called him to come by to break what you and Theresa had. I guess I can't give up getting what I want. I'll save you the trouble of kicking me out."
"You can't drive. Just stay here." Ryan said calmly.
"You're not mad. I mean after what I just said."
"I'm glad you did that. Who knows how bad she could have ruined my life? She has nothing, but now I have everything and that includes you."
"I don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything, just come here."
They then began kissing on the bed until Marissa felt that she needed to get home.
Ryan woke up the next morning and made his way to the kitchen to find Seth. He looked as awake as ever. Must have had a great night last night.
"Sorry about last night." Ryan apologized.
"It's okay bro."
Sandy then walked into the room.
"Ryan, I need to talk to you about something important."
"What is it Sandy?"
"I'll just let you have your privacy." Seth said.
"No. Stay. Ryan, umm I just got word that your brother escaped from prison. We have no word where he is, or where he is going, but he got away two days ago. Has he tried to contact you?"
"This is the first time I am hearing this. Shit. This is serious. Could I get a minute alone?"
"Sure. Seth just join me in the living room."
"Yeah." Seth agreed.
Ryan's first question was why? There was no need to break out. His next question was how? The time that he was in lock up there was no way that anybody would be able to escape. Where could he be now? After a couple of minutes of him thinking about this, he walked into the living room.
"So Ryan, what are you going to do?" Seth asked.
"What can I do?" he answered.
"Nothing. That's what. This would surely put you back in juvie if you were seen with him." Sandy spoke with a stern voice.
"I guess your right dad." Seth commented.
The doorbell rings...
"It might be your brother. This could end up as an episode of Cops."
"Seth. That is no joke." Ryan warned.
"Sorry, didn't know that you would be sensitive about that."
"Just get the door."
Seth opens the door and finds Marissa standing there.
"Hey is Ryan there?"
"Yeah. Come in."
Marissa walks into the living room and sees Ryan and sits on the couch next to him. Ryan motions for Seth to leave and he gets the hint. She starts to kiss him, but he breaks it off.
"Alright. What's up with you?" Marissa looks a bit annoyed.
"It's not you. I just have a lot on my mind right now."
"You could tell me. I could help."
"No one could help me with this one."
"Try me."
Ryan not knowing how to put this in a non-embarrassing way so he just came out and said it. Marissa was taken aback at this news. The next thought that popped into her head was what Ryan might do to help him? She did not want to have a repeat of Thanksgiving.
"You're not thinking about helping him are you?"
"I don't even know where he is. He's my brother. I still am worried about him."
"I understand that, but Ryan this is not up to you to handle. He has to turn himself in."
"I know. I know. I just want to know why?"
"Please don't go looking for that answer."
"Maybe I don't have a choice. He could be looking for me who knows?"
"Promise me Ryan."
"I promise."
"Let's seal it with a kiss."
Seth walks in...
"Do I have perfect timing, or what?" Seth jokes.
"Unfortunately yes." Ryan adds.
"So what's on the agenda today? Summer is visiting her dad so my day is free."
"I actually came by to ask Ryan if he wanted to come with me to South Coast Plaza. You can join us if you want." Marissa suggested.
"Nah, I'll pass. Shopping's not for me. I'll just go sailing since I haven 't in quite a while."
"Who said I would go?" Ryan mocked.
"You're my boyfriend so you have no choice."
"Like I said before. One word. Whipped." Seth's final words before he left to get ready for sailing upstairs.
"But before we leave I just need to take out some cash from the bank. I don't have credit cards anymore. That just blows."
"Hey it stops impulse shopping." Ryan added.
When they entered the bank, there was a bit of a line. A couple of old people were in front of them. They smelled like feet. Ryan and Marissa were making funny faces behind their backs. Next thing they knew they were told to get on the ground. Everything seemed to change in an instant.
"Everybody stay down. Don't' nobody try to be the hero." The bank robber with a mask on spoke.
Ryan was now glad that Seth hadn't come along, but even happier that Marissa had not gone alone. At least having him be there would give her some sense of comfort. Marissa on the other hand tried moving closer to Ryan. Her body was so tense and felt like it was frozen in place. He realized this and tried moving closer to her.
"What do you think you are doing? If you feel like moving you might as well help me along. Now get up and put the money in the bags like those other people."
Ryan got up and listened to the man. Now Marissa was scared more than ever. The bank robber had a gun to Ryan's back. Any stupid move and she could lose him forever. She did not take her eyes off of either of them.
"Hurry up. I don't have all day." The bank robber spoke.
When Ryan turned around to give the man the bag he noticed something familiar about him. No it can't be, or could it? The man had a necklace on that he recognized. This just had to be a coincidence. Only one way to find out.
"Umm. I'm just going to be right back." Marissa said.
"Sure."
She went into the bathroom and opened her purse. In it she had a small bottle of vodka. This was not there to scare Ryan with the alcohol, but just to toast their relationship. Now it was going to be used by her to relax her nerves. As soon as she left the bathroom, Ryan grabbed her.
