Veronica arrived at the gym early and so she decided to get changed and start training. After a while she glanced at the clock and realized that in about twenty minutes she had to get ready to head home but Sara still hadn't shown up.

Maybe there was an emergency at the hospital?

So she went to her locker to check her cell for messages. When she realized that there was no message from Sara on her cell she called Lincoln at home.

"Hey what's up?"

"Linc can you check the machine please?"

"Why?"

"Just do it!" Veronica demanded and Linc did what he was asked to do.

"No there are no messages, why?"

"Sara didn't show up at the gym and honestly I am worried!"

"Did you even try to call her before you freaked out?" Linc interjected and tried to calm her down again. Lincoln was right. Veronica hadn't even tried to contact her friend she just assumed so her husband could hear a weak

"No!" through the line.

"Maybe she just got called in and didn't have the time to call." While they were talking LJ arrived back home from his paramedics class.

"Hey dad I am back. Did Mike bring the groceries already?"

"No he only brought the wine yet. But that is not the issue right now. Do you know if Sara was called in to an emergency after class?" LJ was confused. He had left with Sara and he had seen her drive away.

"No she left, why?"

"Apparently she never showed up at the gym!"

"Weird but now that I think about it she didn't drive in the direction of the gym. She seemed to head out to the lake." Veronica had listened in on that little conversation and just shouted

"I know where she is, thanks and see you soon!"

After she had hung up, she quickly changed and drove off to the lake. Sara once had taken her to the lake and they had discussed how peaceful it was out there. Sara also had mentioned that this was the place where she had decided to leave open the door.

It is a possibility.

While Veronica drove to the lake she tried contacting Sara but no one picked up.

Lincoln hung up too and looked confused.

"What is it? Did Vee find her?" LJ asked worried.

"Not exactly but she thinks she knows where to find Sara."

"Is Sara missing?" Michael asked when he walked in, packed with the groceries.

"Kind of but Vee has an idea where to find her and is on her way right now." Lincoln explains and then changes the subject abruptly. "Okay let's prepare dinner!"

Michael is confused. He still couldn't figure out why this Sara person had everyone in his family on their toes all the time.

Maybe it is her? But they would have told me, wouldn't they?

Michael had made up his mind and marched straight up to brother and nephew.

"I have a question!"

Veronica had arrived at the lake and had parked her car. Now she was walking along the shore walk looking for her friend.

Sara sat alone at a bench. Her head was spinning with thoughts. After the hospital she had figured she would just come here to think a little bit but when she had sat down all the memories from five years ago returned. She constantly flashed back to the time she had been here.

What would have been if I hadn't helped them escape? Would I be able to see him? What if I had tried to find him while he was on the run? What if I had tried to figure out why he sent me the cranes?

There were just too many 'what if's'in that equation. Sara had heard her phone ringing several times but she couldn't really bring herself to answer it. Veronica would have questions and right now Sara had no answers

. Am I really ready to meet Michael? What if he doesn't want to see me?

Sara suddenly heard footsteps approaching rapidly and when the person turned the corner she saw a very familiar but worried face. Sara dropped her head in her hands and started to cry. Veronica was instantly at her side.

"Oh sweetie! Are you scared?" the petite woman asked hugging her sobbing friend. Sara couldn't answer and so she simply nodded. After a while Sara found her wit again.

"Strange sense of déjà vu, huh?"

"Kind of but what brought this on? I mean you wanted to meet him and now you go in hiding."

"I don't know what came over me but when I got up today I felt so nervous and I drove out here to collect my thoughts before heading to the gym but it didn't work out so well."

"Why didn't it work out? Oh… This place has memories for you, huh."

The two women continued to sit on the bench for a while longer until Veronicas phone rang.

"It's Lincoln!" she explains before answering.

"I found her!"

"Thank god but I am calling for another reason. Michael has started to ask questions. Right now we tell him, that he will find out soon enough and that he doesn't need to worry but LJ just remembered that he left the folder in the living room. Probably under the sofa."

"Okay well then leave it be and we will be there in a few. Don't burn the food!" With that the married couple finished their conversation.

Sara and Veronica make their way back to the car and Lincoln rejoins LJ and Michael in the kitchen.

"They are on their way." He announces and LJ lets out a sigh of relief.

When Sara and Veronica arrive at the apartment they don't announce their presence loudly. After they have hung their coats on the rack Sara goes into the living room to sit down and collect herself again and Veronica goes to the kitchen.

The guys just put the finishing touches on the salad and all look up when the door opens.

"You came alone?" Michael asks.

"No Sara is in the living room and I would propose we join her."

With that Veronica takes the plates from Michael and ushers him out of the door.

He pushes open the door to the living room and sees a person standing in front of the cabinet where Lincoln has put a crane. The woman's shoulders are shaking and so Michael assumes she is crying. Not knowing what else to do, he softly asks

"Is something wrong? Can I help you, Sara?" and makes a few steps in her direction.

As soon as she hears his voice Sara freezes. Slowly she turns around to face the man she hasn't seen in years. In the kitchen three figures are pressing their ears against the door to know if they should step in.

Michael watches when the person in front of him turns around and his breath hitches in his throat when he recognizes her. Sara smiles softly and unsure of what to do or say. So she just observes while Michael processes the ambush.

"Linc!" he shouts and stomps off in the direction of the kitchen.

This isn't good.

Vee thinks and hurries past her brother in law to see if Sara needs someone. When Veronica arrives in the living room Sara has sunk to the floor and is crying again.

"Sara I am so sorry. He just needs time to process. Come on and sit on the couch and I'll make you a tea." With that Veronica pulls her friend up and drops her on the sofa like a little child.

Lincoln and LJ both look guilty and caught when Michael storms in the kitchen.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"We didn't know how to do that!"

"And inviting her over was your solution?"

"No she wanted to meet you and so we set it up!" Veronica supplies the answer when she comes in to make the tea.

"And you should go in there and talk to her. Come on we know that you have feelings for her. You still keep all these pictures of her in your folder!" she continues.

Michael is a little speechless.

"I can't talk to her. I hurt her too much." He finally manages to stutter and then he runs out of the apartment after grabbing his jacket.

"What do we do now?" LJ poses the question everyone has on their minds.

Veronica grabs the tea and starts to go back to Sara but not before she says

"You have to find Mike and bring him back or Sara is going to be crushed!"

don't hurt me :)

just tell me what you think ...
