With Zane:
As both boys ran inside the café, they saw everyone was looking around to figure out what that scream was all about. The gang all ran up to Zane and Lewis at the same time the manager did. "Sir, it came from the back office.", the café's manager told Zane. "Who went back there after we came out front?" Rikki asked.
As everyone looked at each other for answers, Zane finally realized something very important had been missing since he came into the café. Suddenly he rushed to the back office only to find it empty. Deep seated dread fell over Zane as he realized he had let himself get too distracted by Rikki and the gang, now his sister seemed to be missing from his side.
He walked back out to the café and started to head towards his car, ignoring everyone else around him, including the old gang. After he got outside he pulled his cell out and started to call Cleo right away.
With Rikki and the gang:
Rikki and the gang watched as Zane ran to the back office, only to turn come back out a moment later looking very pissed off. Lewis and Rikki tried to follow Zane out again but Bella stopped them saying, "Did you see the look on his face just then? He doesn't look like he wants anyone butting in right now."
Emma and Will nodded their heads in agreement, "Plus I'm sure he knows he can come to us if he needs help." Emma said but Lewis didn't look too convinced about that. "After what he said to us before he stormed outside the first time, I'm not too sure about that." He replied.
"Well I am going to go offer my help anyway, who knows maybe this will be a way to show we are there for him!" Rikki said as she headed out the door with Lewis on her heels. Emma rolled her eyes with a smile to the rest of the gang. "Well off we go then!" She said as they all went to follow Rikki outside.
With Cleo:
"Damn it Cleo! You really didn't have to hit me so hard I screamed! I told you I didn't see anything, I just came to see if you and Zane wanted to help me hide out from the missus for the rest of the night!" Nate said as he and Cleo went out the back door of Rikki's.
"I said I was sorry! Let it go would you, plus just think, it would have been a hell of a lot worse if Zane found out." Cleo said while laughing at Nates pout. Then started to laugh harder as his eyes got wide at the thought of Zane knowing he'd seen Cleo half dressed. "Oh god! I am a dead man!"
"How about I don't tell Zane, so long as you go meet up with Charlotte now and never miss another wedding planning event. I am so tired of her calling us looking for you!" Nate smiled and agreed before rushing off to his dance lesson.
Right as Cleo got ready to head back into the office, her cell started to ring. She smiled seeing it was Zane, "I'm heading into the office now you big over protective bear!" Cleo said laughing as she answered. "No!" He replied suddenly, making Cleo pull back shocked. "Look, just take the car that's out back and head home, I will meet you there in ten. Just have a few loose ends to tie up here. Okay?"
"You talk about me working too much? Geez but okay, see you back at the house, I will order dinner then. Bye!" She hung up after he said bye and got the spare keys to his old car that he left here when he needed to work late like tonight and she couldn't stay. Then she headed back home for a night of relaxing, takeout and maybe even a movie.
