Chapter 2:

Cleo and Zane had just pulled up outside of 'Rikki's', when Cleo's cell phone started to ring. "Hey Zane, you go on in first I'm just going to take this call really quick." Zane searched her face for something before sighing and asking who was calling. "It's Charlotte, she is probably just wondering where Nate is." After she said that Zane rolled his eyes, as he got out though he held up his hand to signal she only had five minutes or he was coming back to search for her. She laughed as she answered her phone.

Charlotte had come back to the Golden Coast right before the drama of last year. She was also there to help Zane and Cleo out, as she was the only other person who knew her secret. After she helped, Cleo just couldn't stay mad any longer. Though they weren't very close, they weren't enemies either. About six months back Cleo and Zane were both shocked to find out that Charlotte and Nate had been dating for almost a year. They were now even getting married in a few weeks.

"Hi Cleo, sorry to bother you right after work but have you seen my sweetie?" Charlotte asked while Cleo held back a laugh. "No sorry, we just got to 'Rikki's' though so maybe he's here? I can check it out and text you if I see him?" Through the phone she could hear Charlotte's huff in annoyance at not knowing where he was. "Thanks Cleo, that's a big help! That goof forgot we had a dance class today and I need to find him before it starts so we're not late again." Once again Cleo held in a laugh, thinking to herself that Nate was definitely missing on purpose at the moment.

After she hung up she took a deep breath and went inside to meet up with Zane before he made true of his promise to come back. Cleo was already surprised he hadn't come out to drag her inside. She didn't waste any time looking around the café, knowing Zane would be in the office, plus there were just too many memories here. Cleo didn't get why Zane didn't go ahead a sell this place, there was nothing left for either of them here.

With Rikki:

As soon as she entered the office she was hit with a heavy sense of nostalgia. She had so many memories in this place, hell the office looked like a frozen time capsule of the last time she'd been in here. Shaking her head she headed over to the desk and sat in his chair looking at how clean it was, with no personal touch. Meaning no clues at all to what the waitress had meant. Just when she went to get up and head out the office door opened, the man himself opened the door. "Zane?!" Rikki cried out in surprise.
Zane had headed in through the back door of the café to make sure he would surprise his staff completely but before he did that he wanted to check the office books. He was definitely not expecting to see the unforgettable face of his ex, currently snooping around his office. So surprised he let out a huge laugh!

"What are you doing here, Rikki?" He asked stepping in and closing the door. At a loss for what to say Rikki stood up and walked toward him with an uneasy smile. "Well me and the old gang are all in town and while here I thought I'd stop by, say hello." He just continued to laugh for a second making Rikki start to get irritated. "What? Am I not allowed to come say hello?" He tried to stop laughing now to answer her, "No it's not that, it's just why come into the office to say hi? Also I'm surprised you not still mad at me, like you swore you always would be." She smiled after that, "Of course I'm not still mad, that was years ago!" He relaxed some after having confirmed there were no hard feelings then. "I'm glad…" Zane trailed off as he started to realize exactly what Rikki had just said. "Did you say you were here with 'the old gang'?"
Rikki smiled now that she knew he was okay with seeing her. "Yeah, almost the whole lot of us! Ash, Emma, Will, Bella, Lewis and I. They aren't still mad either, I promise! They are all at a table out at the front, come say hi!" She grabbed his arm to lead him out, not noticing the look of pure shock on Zanes face as he tried to comprehend all of this. By the time they got to the table everyone there was looking at Zane with a look of shock as well.

"Wow Zane!" Lewis said, while Bella and Ash said hello. Emma smiled her hello and Will just nodded his head in greeting. "Well come on sit down and catch up with us too!" Rikki insisted as a waitress who was surprised to see her boss sitting with these people. As the most of the group started asking him questions about what he'd been up to, Zane finally started to get to his senses.
"You know, I'd love to stay and catch up with you all. Sadly I really need to be leaving now." He spoke fast as he stood back up. "Wait you haven't even gotten to explain the whole you having a sister thing to us yet?" Bella said before he could go. Then they all looked at him in agreement, waiting for his answer.

"She... she is just my step sister. What is there to explain exactly? I really have to be going though. I'll see you guys around." Just as he turned though, he saw Cleo enter the office and close the door. "Wait Zane before you leave, I have to know, have you heard anything about Cleo?" Without even turning around he knew that it was Lewis who asked, he also knew that the girls would not let this go now that she was brought up, but how the hell should he do this while making sure that Cleo isn't hurt in anyway.

With Cleo:

After walking in and not seeing Zane, she just figured he had decided to talk to his staff a bit. He would know where to find her though when he was done, she would bet money on it. While letting out a sigh, she decided to try and find some extra clothes that they left here in case of emergencies, so she could change out of her tight work clothes.

She found one of Zane's shirts and an extra pair of sweats of hers. She took off her work outfit to put on the new clothes when suddenly the door opened. Expecting Zane she simply turned to face away from the door and said, "Don't worry Zane, I'll wash it and put it back tomorrow, I promise. I was just so ready to get out of those stupid work cloths." She laughed but then, when she didn't get a response from Zane or even hear the door shut, she rushed to finish getting dressed and then turned around fast.

"Oh my god! What are you doing here?!" Cleo yelled out.

With Zane and the gang:

"Cleo? Wh- why would you ask me?" Zane said sitting back down. "Well the last any of us have heard of her, she was still in town too." Emma answered first, shortly after Will continued, when Zane still hadn't answered. "And so are you. So maybe you have crossed paths every now and again? Or at least know where she might have gone?"

"If you care so much about her whereabouts, why lose touch with her in the first place?" While the others looked down feeling ashamed some by what he had said. "It's just, well, life gets complicated and staying in touch with people can get kind of pushed to the side for a little while. We know that's bad and we want to fix that." It was Bella who answered this time, while taking Will's hand. Emma smiled and took ahold of Bella and Rikki's hands. "We are sisters after all! We are a family! And now that even you are here we are just missing the last piece at the moment." Rikki smiled around at all here friends, even Zane, who she thought would be thrilled with them seeing him as one of them too. Instead though Zane was looking more like he was upset and no one could get why, not even Rikki.

"Trust me I get how complicated life gets, but when it comes to friends, or better yet 'family' as you say, I would never let them get pushed to the side!" He stood up, walked out to his car and slammed the door as he got in. He knew someone had followed him out; he almost let himself wish it was Rikki.

"What do you want?" Zane asked not looking up. "Zane I get what you meant, I know we can't just come back and pretend we didn't just abandon her, or you for that matter. Just know, I won't stop looking for her, ever again, because I know now what it was like to live without her. I never want to again, Zane. Cleo, she is it for me, so please, if you can, help us." After a moment Zane looked over to Lewis, who was in the passenger seat. Zane saw how even though Lewis had no idea if Zane actually knew anything more about Cleo; he still looked like he was begging for anything. Zane, sigh and started to smile at Lewis.

"What?" Lewis asked, not liking that Zane was smiling at him, because back in the old days that always meant trouble. Right as Zane opened his mouth to answer him, there was a scream from inside the café, and then both guys rushed inside.
