A/N: Thanks for the reviews DemonRogue13 and KietroLover, really appreciate it. Sorry his one was so long in coming, I got seriously tied up with some stuff but I'll be updating now that I've got some free time.

"Kitty time to wake up."
She moaned in annoyance and groggily opened her eyes. "Huh? How... how did you get in here, the door was locked!"
Her aunt looked at her and smiled. "I had a key Kitty. Now shake a leg, we've got to go!"
"Go where? I'm not going anywhere with you!"
"Just in case you forgot Kitty, yesterday was the anniversary of your parents disappearance."
She now had the young brunette full attention. "Forgot? How could I forget something like that? I only wish I could I forget."
"I know you've been under a great deal of stress Kitty but I want to relieve you of all that. I planned a little trip up at the lodge."
"I said I'm not going anywhere with you!"
"You are coming with me and you are going to have a good time! Now get out that bed and get dressed before I really get angry!"
"Alright, alright, I'm up! I just don't want you to hit me again."
"Oh don't be ridiculous Kitty, I could never hit you."
"Yeah right."
"Now hurry up! We don't want to be late!"
"Late! Where are we going?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
It's been two weeks and I haven't seen or heard from Kitty. Boy I really hope she's alright! Maybe I should go over to her house, just maybe to check on her. Nah I can't risk being seen by her aunt, afterall, I don't want to get thrown in jail! Maybe she and her aunt had gone on a trip or something. But she would have called me. Maybe I should give her a call.
... ... ...
No answer. This is too weird.
"Hey Pietro!"
"Lance, how are things?"
"Smooth man, real smooth. Rogue and I are great; my dad's taking me to Hawaii, late graduation present. Oh and get this, he's even letting Rogue and her parents come along."
"That's great man."
"So how's your father?"
"He's been doing surprisingly well. Hasn't gotten any worse although he hasn't gotten any better either. Suppose I should be thankful for the little things though."
"How are things between you and Kitty?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard from her since that Friday afternoon."
"That's been over two weeks now. Hasn't she called you, dropped by, anything?"
"No, not a sign of her, it's like she's disappeared or something. I don't know what to do, all this waiting around is driving me crazy!"
"Maybe you should go look for her."
"Yeah right Lance and where would I look for her, huh?"
"Here's a no brainer but I suppose her house! Pietro man you're my best friend and I think if you really care about this girl you should go look for her."
"I guess you're right. Would you help out here for a while then?"
"Sure no problem. But one question, how does this cash register work?"
"You're kidding right?"
"Duh. Of course I'm kidding!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
I went over to Kitty's house. I rang the doorbell over four times but there was no answer. I went around to the back, no cars in the driveway. Then she definitely left with her aunt. If only I could find an open window or something, maybe I could get in, look around and find some clues as to where they went. No luck!
Where could you be Kitty?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"Hey thanks Lance for looking after the store but I couldn't'... What's wrong?"
"It's your dad Pietro, he took a turn for the worse and your sister had to rush him to the hospital."
"I... I've got to get over there. I've got to make sure he's..."
"Pietro! Pietro man, listen to me! It's too late... he's..." Lance hung his head despairingly. "Your sister called just a little while before you walked in. I'm sorry man."
"No it can't be true. How could this be happening, first Kitty and now my dad?" Pietro sank to his knees and knocked his head back against the counter side. He wielded his eyes shut to try and block the pain out. "I've lost everything Lance. I've lost everything."
