I know this is short but I have heaps of homework now I'm back at school. this is more a filler chapter, the drama starts up next chapter! Read and review!

The alarm on Wayne's phone began to vibrate. He awoke from whatever little sleep he had managed to get and looked at the time. It read 5.30. He slipped out of bed and over to Teresa.

'Teresa, wake up. We gotta go' he said

'Mmm coming' she mumbled and turned into Patrick's chest

'Teresa, we have to go' Patrick whispered into his girlfriend's ear

'Fine' she said, sitting up

Wayne went over to where Cho had been to find him already awake.

'Ready to go?' he asked Wayne

'Nearly'

'Ok. I'm going to go make sure we got everything'

10 minutes later, the 4 teenagers were out in the car, heading off to where they would hopefully find Grace. An hour into the drive, most of the car's occupants had fallen asleep except for Wayne and Patrick. Patrick could tell that Wayne was agitated and still blaming himself.

'It's not your fault, Wayne' he said

'It is. If I hadn't left, this wouldn't have happened'

'It could have easily still happened. you shouldn't blame yourself'

'You don't understand Jane, ok?'

Patrick sensed this and left the young man to brood.

At the end of the two hour drive, they arrived at lake Weil. They clambered out of the car and into the cool crisp morning air and began their hike into the bush.

Grace lay in her new prison in the cold morning air, shivering as she pulled the blankets around her. She didn't know why, but for some reason, she felt as if help was on its way. That Wayne was out there looking for her.

A/N reviews are love!
