She'd fallen asleep on Shane's chest, his arm wrapped around her waist contently. Claire shook a little as something rattled on the hard wood floor. It was her phone. She heard and felt Shane grumble a little. She scrambled to get to it. Shane barely moved as she removed herself from him and picked it up.
"Hello?" she said answering it
She pressed the button that opened the door. She left Shane where he was. It was pointless to wake him.
"Why haven't you answered?"
This was a new voice.
"Uh, who is this exactly?"
"Your mom, who do you think!"
Claire pulled the phone away from her ear briefly surprised with the amount sarcasm and then smirked.
"Oliver? Why do you have my number?"
"It doesn't matter. Get to Common Grounds now." He ordered
"No." she growled
"It's Amelie's orders Claire. Get here now. She'd send for you herself, but she's a bit busy. The town is having major problems and it requires your brain or at least that's what Myrnin says. He needs you here. Something is driving all the vampires crazy and not the good kind of crazy so get your ass here now."
The phone clicked ending the call before Claire could say anything. She was going to ask if there was any good kind of crazy in Morganville, because if there was then she hadn't seen it.
"What's wrong?" a groggy Shane asked
"Nothing…or well,"
"Well?"
"It's just Morganville. There's always something that's life threatening in this town." She said
"What this time?"
"Don't know, don't really care, but I have to be at Common Grounds which means I need to call Jake and tell him I can't make it." Claire said
"You're not going alone." Shane told her
"I figured as much." She said smirking "But we need to tell Michael and Eve."
"Here we go again." He sighed
"But this time I have my memories."
"And me." He smirked
Claire rolled her eyes and nudged at him. Of course he'd make a remark like that. He wouldn't be Shane Collins if he didn't.
"Let's go play boy." She said grabbing a handful of his shirt "I know I won't be able to do this alone."
