Two years ago on March twentieth, sixteen year old Jonathan Quest and seventeen year old Jessica Bannon disappeared.

Both of the teens left for school on the nineteenth and weren't discovered missing until the following morning when they failed to appear for breakfast after morning call was sounded.

Both fathers went looking for their offspring only to discover Jonny and Jessie's rooms untouched. The beds were not slept in and nothing appeared out of place.

A later search, performed by local law enforcement, confirmed Benton and Race's previous findings; nothing was missing except for the children themselves.

After a thorough search of the compound and surrounding areas turned up nothing, the two teenagers were labeled kidnaped and a nationwide manhunt began.

After nine months of searching the manhunt was called off. A month after that two bodies, matching Jonny and Jessie's description, was discovered in Ontario and the case was closed.

Jessica Bannon and Jonathan Quest were pronounced dead ten months after they vanished. And their families were finally able to mourn the loss of the children.

Two Years Later

Eighteen year old Levi Fitzgerald stood on the white sandy beach of Waikiki, located on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, watching the surf beat against the beach. The sun was reflecting off his strawberry blonde hair making his location known to the person searching for him. A small smile was playing on his lips.

Nineteen year old Kennedy Fitzgerald let her eyes scan the almost baron beach for her husband. A flash of red caught her eye and she smiled. She makes her way down the beach towards the water, a hand resting on her swollen abdomen. Once she reaches her husband, she wraps her arms around his mid-section from behind and sighs as his scent fills her nostrils. "Hey." She whispers into his back.

Levi shifts around until he his face to face with his young bride. "Hey. Are you feeling ok?" He asks, concerned.

"I'm fine." Kennedy stands on her tip toes, he towered over her at little over six feet, and places a kiss on his soft lips. "Actually, I'm feeling better than fine. I'm feeling great." Pregnancy really agreed with her.

He slides a hand down and rests it on her stomach. "Hello in there, little one. I'm your daddy." Levi started talking to Kennedy's stomach or rather the child within soon after they found out about the pregnancy. After feeling a kick in response to his greeting, he brought her hand to his lips and placed a kiss upon it. The fading sunlight caught the diamond wedding ring and make it sparkle.

"Levi, what's wrong?" Kennedy knew her husband better than he knew himself so it was easy for her to pick up that something was troubling him.

A small sigh escapes from his lips as he catches her eye and holds it. "There's a convention in a week." He can't help but smile when he hears her groan.

Since they both work at Starlink, a small yet prestigious technology management company, it was their job to make sure all the conventions dealing with technology got set up and had the right equipment for the event at hand and knew how to use before mentioned equipment.

"There's more, isn't there Levi?" Kennedy asks, knowing that the prospect of another job so close to their last wasn't the only thing bothering her husband.

Levi nods his head. "This is a special convention, Kennedy. Last minute too."

"Why's it special?" Kennedy looked at him, curiously. They had never had to deal with a special convention before.

He takes a deep breath and lets it out. Levi fishes around in the pocket of his cargo shorts and pulls out the advanced guest list and hands it to her. All guest lists were faxed to them so they could best determine what the atmosphere of the convention was going to be like and ship over whatever equipment was required to achieve that atmosphere.

Kennedy scans the list. "A lot of rich people on here." She mumbles. "And I count at least a dozen people who are considered the top in their respective fields."

"Keep reading." Levi encouraged her after he nodded in agreement to her assessment of the list so far.

Once she reaches the bottom of the list, two names jump out at her and her eyes widen in shock. "Benton Quest and Roger Bannon." She reads aloud then looks at her husband of a year. "My God, Levi. They're coming here. Here of all places. I need to sit down." As soon as the words were out of her mouth she plopped down on the sand, hands limp as her sides.

Levi continues to stand for a moment before he joins Kennedy. "We knew the honeymoon wouldn't last." He tells her, quietly then looks back out at the water. It was so calm and quiet, like their lives had been. "What are we going to do, Nene?" He used his affectionate nickname for her,

She shakes her head. "I really don't know, Levi. If they see us...and they will see us, it will be over. Our lives that we worked so hard to create will crumble into dust. I don't think I could handle that, not now. Not after all this time." Kennedy sounded miserible.

"I don't think I could handle it either. We aren't those kids anymore, love. They can't make us do anything we don't want." Levi was quiet for a moment then looked down at his hands. "I guess it's time for a two year old mystery to be solved." He couldn't mask all the relief he was feeling. It was time that the truth be told.

After a few seconds of silence Kennedy nodded in agreement. It was time to tell the truth. The whole truth.

The truth on how they established a relationship that grew serious in just a couple of months. They knew their parents would forbid them from seeing each other so they kept the relationship quiet and started planning for the future.

They both got part time jobs, working for a local computer firm, that they went to right after lunch, they had enough credits and the good enough grades that they were able to do this during school days as well. When they got home they spent a good portion of the night dedicated to their school work and any other activity that they were involved in. No one suspected a thing.

After they had saved enough money for plane tickets and a little extra they left; taking nothing with them except for the clothes on their backs.

They chose Hawaii as their new home since they couldn't get any further away from Maine without leaving the United States and that would have aroused suspicion. Hawaii was also a chosen because neither of their fathers particularly cared for the humid, stuffy environment that Hawaii had to offer. Once they got there, they found work, rented an apartment and as soon as Levi, or rather Jonny, turned eighteen got married.

Soon they embraced the Hawaiian culture and were treated as equals by the natives. Even their appearance began to change. Their skin went from pasty white to a nice bronze from all the countless hours that they spent outside or at the beach. Levi/Jonny dyed his trademark blonde hair strawberry blonde. Kennedy/Jessie chose to keep her hair color but added blonde highlights to lighten it up a bit. Both of them looked more adult than teenager.

The final thing they did was change their names, only marrying under their real ones. Jonny chose the name Levi Fitzgerald because he once knew a boy named Levi and Fitzgerald because it was a good strong surname. Jessie chose Kennedy because she admired the Kennedy's and took the surname of her husband. Soon they left behind their old lives and began building new ones.

Both of them sit in silence and deep thought. Soon the sun sets, sending streaks of red and purple through the darkening sky. Levi is the first to beak the silence. "Come on, Nene. Lets enjoy what's left of our vacation." His voice his soft as he climbs to his feet and holds a hand out for her.

Kennedy nods and takes the offered hand, allowing herself to be pulled up off the sand.

Soon they are heading off the beach and towards their beachfront condo. They had moved from their small apartment a few months ago, knowing that they needed more room for the baby, but the spacious four bedroom condo already felt like home.
