"Here you go Trey Atwood." Ryan said unfaltering, but inaudible to
everyone there.
"Don't say my name. How did you know it was me?" Trey asked nervously.
"The necklace says it all. Give it up Trey. This is not worth it."
"I don't want to go back there and you won't prevent me."
"Trey don't do this."
"Just let me leave and pretend you never saw me."
Ryan just nodded and did what Trey told him. After another minute, Trey ran out of the place. Once Marissa saw the man walk out the door, she ran into Ryan's arms.
"Oh Ryan. Are you okay? Thank god he didn't hurt you."
"I'm fine. The question is are you?"
"Shaken, but I will be okay."
"Let's just see if everyone else is okay."
Ten minutes later the police arrived. Ryan had to make the decision of either letting them know it was his brother, or not. He decided to do the right thing and gave all the information he knew. After this whole ordeal, Ryan and Marissa just decided to head back to the Cohen house.
Exhausted from the day's events, Ryan just plopped onto his freshly washed sheets, courtesy of Rosa. Marissa still feeling a bit shaken made her way to the phone. She called up her dad to let him know what happened before finding out about it on the news. As she was on the phone, Sandy walked into the pool house.
"Hey Ryan. I just heard about what happened. Did you know about any of this? His plans?"
"Not at all. This was not what I thought he was going to do at all. In fact I hope the police catch him. He is not the same as he was before, not that he was good in the first place."
"Well they think that they have him spotted heading for the border. They have a good team. He won't last long out there."
"As bad as this sounds, I hope I never see him again. Is that wrong?"
"Not at all. We are your family now and we will stay that way. I just hope Kirsten doesn't worry too much over this."
"Or Seth."
"Well now that I see you both are okay I'll just head over to the police station to see if anything new came up."
"Thanks."
Marissa then got off the phone. She looked at Ryan curiously after slightly listening to what his conversation with Sandy was about. So he knew whom the guy was. It was his brother. At least now she was relieved that the guy wouldn't go after Ryan after finding out that he gave the police all the information. So he wouldn't worry about this anymore, she decided to not bring up the subject.
"My dad is going to tell my mom what happened. I don't feel like talking about it anymore. I just want to lay here with you."
She made her way next to him and he pulled her closer. It might have been only three in the afternoon, but they fell asleep in less than ten minutes. When Ryan awoke a couple of hours later, Marissa was gone. He figured she went home so he made his way to the kitchen. Seth was sitting at the stool and greeted Ryan as he walked in.
"Had an interesting day huh buddy?"
"You could say something like that. What time is it anyway?"
"Six o'clock. I saw you sleeping so I decided not to disturb you."
"Well there is a first time for everything. So where is Summer hiding? She is now usually around. What happened?"
"Since she did not want to go sailing, she is spending time with her dad. She called me and told me that she is going to stay over there till tomorrow so we could do something. What are your plans for tonight?"
"For now nothing. I don't know whether Marissa would want to do something."
"I think we need a boys night out for once. You could even call Luke to join us. What do you think?"
"That doesn't sound that bad. I'll let Marissa know just in case she calls me. You can call Luke to come along."
"Alright. He might have some good ideas of what to do."
"Great."
After Ryan called Marissa, he hopped into the shower and later got dressed. Plans were already made so the only thing to do was to start them. The first thing on the agenda was going out to the local pizzeria to eat something. All of them were hungry and Ryan hadn't had anything since breakfast. Each ordered a different type specific to their taste. Ryan liked the traditional pepperoni. Luke wanted sardines on his, and Seth's was the strangest of all by putting ham and pineapple on his.
"Dude, that looks disgusting." Luke commented on Seth's pizza style.
"Have you ever tried it? I dare you."
"It might cost you more than you'd like."
"No, it is actually not that bad. You might eat your words Luke." Ryan added.
"Fine, but I make no promises."
Luke tried it and it was better than he thought. Ryan was right. He would have to eat his words. Luke dared Seth the same to eat his sardine pizza. He almost barfed after just taking one small bite.
"I think I am going to be sick. Be right back guys."
Seth ran into the bathroom holding his stomach. Ryan and Luke just laughed. He was even hilarious even when he didn't try to be. When Seth finally made his way back, he realized that the rest of his pizza was gone.
"I guess someone just loved my pizza too much."
"Sorry Cohen. I just was really hungry. I'll buy you another slice if you want."
"That's okay. I don't think I like pizza anymore anyhow." Seth said.
"Hey, is that Liz over there?" Ryan mentioned.
"Yeah, be right back guys." Luke spoke.
After a couple of minutes Luke came back with Liz on his arm and two of her friends. Seth leaned over to Ryan and whispered something into his ear. Ryan just tried to ignore him and finish the rest of his pizza.
"So everyone you know this is Liz, and this here is her friends Autumn and Victoria." Luke introduced them.
"You can call me Vicky. Victoria sounds like an old granny's name."
"Hi." Ryan and Seth spoke in unison.
"Listen, they wanted us to join them to this local club that they know of called Black. They are having a teen night so we don't need fake i.d.'s. How does that sound?" Luke asked.
"I guess that is alright. How about you Ryan?"
"Yeah sure. Why not?"
They all grabbed their things and left to go to this club. Ryan wasn't going to dance, but felt that he could probably get away with buying a few drinks. It never was a problem for him before. Plus he needed to escape the atmosphere of Newport for a little while and what they planned to do after the pizzeria was not as interesting as this.
When they arrived at the front doors, there was a huge line. Seth was disappointed that they would have to wait on that long line to get in.
"Just follow me alright." Vicky commanded.
Vicky was making her way towards a side entrance. She spoke to this tall beefed up man. He nodded to what she was saying to him and motioned for them to follow her into the place. Seth then became giddy again and Ryan tried to calm him down. He had to remind him that he had a girl named Summer back in Newport.
"I am heading straight for the bar. You know I don't dance so..."
"Right Ryan. You just don't do fun do you? Oh well. I will be showing off my moves on the dance floor. Catch you later." Seth spoke as he made some strange dance move.
When Ryan got to the bar, he ordered a seven and seven. The bartender did not even look twice and handed him his drink. Maybe this night will not be as boring as he thought. Halfway through his drink, Vicky approached him.
"Hey why are you not on the dance floor like the rest of us?"
'I don't dance. Don't plan to start now."
"Aww. Come on now. You look like you can dance. Too tired huh."
"Nope. Just enjoying myself here at the bar."
She then ordered herself a drink. She had no problem either with it. Maybe they just don't card in this place Ryan thought.
"So Luke mentions you sometimes if he isn't talking about Liz."
"Oh really."
"Yeah. He says you are a really great guy even thought he treated you like shit before he got to know you. It was nice that you stuck up for him after he kept beating you up."
Ryan laughed.
"He never would have beaten me up if he didn't have his pals with him. He had that as his advantage."
Seth then made his way towards them at the bar.
"Hey Ryan. I need to make my way back. Summer just got home and she just called me that she needs me. Something urgent. You could get a ride home from Luke right?"
"Umm yeah. Just tell your parents I won't be out too long okay."
"Sure. Bye." Seth spoke as he made his way to the doors.
"So how do you like Newport and all?"
"It's different than how my life used to be, but I don't regret anything."
"Yeah. I feel the same way. My parents moved here from Aspen."
After a couple of minutes of silence, and two drinks each later, Vicky brought up the question again.
"I want to dance. Just come out there with me. I don't want to dance by myself."
"Like I said, I don't dance."
"It is dark in here. No one will see you anyway."
While trying to decide what to do, Vicky took his arm and dragged him onto the dance floor.
"Don't say my name. How did you know it was me?" Trey asked nervously.
"The necklace says it all. Give it up Trey. This is not worth it."
"I don't want to go back there and you won't prevent me."
"Trey don't do this."
"Just let me leave and pretend you never saw me."
