The morning sun streched over the horizon, shuning away the dark of the night. Rebeka stretched as she awoke with the sunlight shinning through her windows of the hotel.

This was the beginning of the second month of the trip to find something.

Anyone.

Hotel after hotel had been their home, and all the millions of people living on each planet meant it was only harder to find one person. There had been no news whatsoever. And the only thing that had changed was the relationship between Sophie and Tony. Sophie had decided to give him one more chance. And if he blew it, then their would be nothing between them again, and she made sure that he understood that. There would be no chaning her mind. Beth and Jared decided to one day go to the chapel on Venus and finally get married after 4 years of being engaged.

A knock on the door intruptted her thoughts.

"One minute!" She got out of the bed and put on a robe before she opened the door. It was Sophie and Abbie.

"Good-morning." Abbie greeted her. "Jared got a text last night. He wont tell anyone unless we all are in his hotel room. So get dressed and come up to where Beth and Jared are staying. I've been in suspense LONG enough! Its killing me."

Rebeka laughed. "Ill be up in 10." She closed the door and rushed to get dressed. When she went to go up to the room, Abbie was still outside her door.

"Yes...Abbie?" Rebeka raised an eyebrow.

"Have you seen Tony at all? He went to breakfast and hasnt been back."

Rebeka groaned. "Dont tell me...He wouldnt."

"You think...I dont want to think so...Mabye...Nah..." Abbie shook her head. "They have been offical for only about a month...lets give him the benefit of the doubt and tell her we saw him go to the restroom...but Jared wont start without him...maybe they stayed together last night..."

Rebeka shook her head. "Too many thoughts in one sentence and I just woke up. Lets go to the room and then decide what to do there once we see who is there and who isnt, alright."

Abbie nodded and smiled brightly. "Good idea!"

Rebeka was still laughing when they made it to the hotel room and Tony was there sitting with Sophie.

"He texted me. Out of the blue. Said he heard from people that we were looking for him." Jared spoke. He was sitting up in bed, his face white. "I cant go with you, but he gave me the intel of where to meet him today."

"Who?" Abbie spoke up. "Who texted you and why do we need to meet him?"

"Joseph, and he is here. Finally we got some luck." Beth spoke for Jared. He had gotten sick two days ago and was still on the mend. His fever had broken last night. "Here. I wrote the info down on this sheet of paper." She stood up from the bed and gave it to Rebeka. "I trust you will go and convince him to come back here so that we can talk with him."

Rebeka nodded. "You make sure he stays rested and eats well." She turned to the rest of the group. "Lets go. Everyone be ready in a hour. We should have enough time to find him if we leave then. I dont know about you, but I sure am hungry. Im off to breakfast." She smiled and left the room.

Sophie and Abbie followed her. Tony had already eaten so he decided to stay behind.

"So..."Jared spoke up. "You are serious about asking her?"

"She needs to know that I am commited. That I am serious. I have blown it once already. She needs to know that I have grown."

"Yes, but its been like 3 months since that incident and like four since you guys got together. Its hard to grow up in like four months." Beth looked worried. " I know her. She will think that it is too soon and that you just want her."

"You think? I just want to make sure that she has everything."

"Just do what you are doing and let nature take its course. It worked for us- it can work for you." Jared smiled as he turned to Beth. "Four years of engagment and then two years of just dating. We are happily married now, and I wouldnt have had it any other way. We needed that time to grow ourselves and in our relationship. You want yours to last- then take your time."

Tony nodded. "All the book smart brain in the world and I have no clue as what to do with women."

Beth laughed. "For your track record...I think that you do."

"Well...relationship wise i am a complete fool." Tony sighed and stood up. "Thanks for the advice. Im gonna go work out and then shower and be back here to meet Rebeka and everyone else."

Rebeka pulled into the resturant an hour and twenty minutes later. "Alright." She turned behind her to the sleeping Abbie. "Abbie. seriously." She shook her cousin until she awoke. "Lets go. Were here."

"Alright." Abbie stretched and yawned. "Lets get this show on the road."

They entered the resturant.

Rebeka, immediatly asked for Joesph.

"Hes in the kitchen love. Are you Beth?" The blonde girl had a infectious smile.

"We're her cousins." Abbie smiled brightly. "Im Abbie and this Rebeka."

"Alrighty. Just go straight through here and then to the left, love, and you will find him."

"Thanks." Rebeka smiled and followed her directions, with Abbie following her.

"Do you think we will be able to trust him?" Abbie turned serious once they were out of earshot of the young girl.

"I dont know. I can only hope. We have no idea who this evil is anyways. Gosh for once I wish our grandparents were still alive."

Abbie gave a small laugh.

They stopped walking once they made it to the two wooden doors which lead into the kitchen.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes." Rebeka pushed. "Lets go."

Another chapter done. Reviews are welcome! Peace!
