"Thanks...",she said as she plopped down into a seat.
"No problem..."he replied,"Are uh..you alright?"
Sarah nodded and smiled and watched him walk away,over to Nick.Just then Ryleigh came and sat down beside her.
"Hey..you look tired."
"I am..",said Sarah chucking softly.
"It's a tiring thing."
"Yeah.So,fill me in on all these important people and stuff.",Sarah said hoping to find some information for the case.
"Well...Brian and Kevin are married,Howie's dating some Liona chick,Nick's on the rebound,and AJ's single."
"Oh. Are there girlfriends nice?"
"Yeah,espicially Leighanne and Kristin.Liona's all right..you just have to get used to her."
"What's Nick's ex name?",Sarah asked.
"Mandy...I hate her.I can't believe Nick actually got her a contract." Ryleigh replied shaking her head in disgust.
"She must be pretty bad then. Do any of the guys have close friends?"
"Wow you sure are curious.",Ryleigh said laughing,"Well I'm Nick's close friend,Me..Ryleigh Santos."
Sarah laughed a bit and then excused herself to the ladies room.She sat down in the stall and called Jeff on her cell phone.
"Hello?",he answered.
"Hey Jeff,it's me."
"I know.."
"Good.Well so far there's no close girls to the guys whose name begins with S."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive..",she said.
"Well look harder...",Jeff replied and then hung up.
Sarah sighed and walked out of the bathroom....and into AJ.
"Oh,sorry.."
"That's ok.",he replied,"Who were you talking to?"
"My...brother. He's really protective."
"Hmm...Alright. I'll see you....around I guess..",he said walking away.
She sighed and walked back to her seat beside Ryleigh. Sarah wondered what she had done to cause AJ to seem...uncomfortable.
"I'm here for work,not for relationships.",she told herself in her head.
"Whats wrong?",asked Ryleigh.
"Nothin...",Sarah replied in a daze,looking over at AJ.
Ryleigh looked over in that direction and smirked.
"Got the hots for Boner?"
"Wha?"
"AJ...",she said.
"Oh um,no.",Sarah answered,trying not to blush.
Nick and Aaron walked over and sat down around the girls.
"Hey ladies..",Aaron said with a grin.
Ry rolled her eyes and looked over at Nick. "Cousins?!",she said to him,still angry.
"Ry,I'm sorry!"
"Grrr...."
"Okay people! Back to practicing!!" Fatima yelled to them.
"Don't be mad at me." Nick said kissing Ryleigh's cheek and then returning to the stage.
Sarah smiled at the two and then went over to the stage.
The mysterious man walked into a store and grabbed a basket.He strolled down the aisles and grabbed various tools such as rope, duct tape, cloth, garbage bags, handcuffs, and different drugs.
He walked to the register and set them down onto the counter roughly,scaring the teenage boy behind the counter.The boy quickly rang up the items and then put them in a bag,handing them to the man.
The man nodded and walked out of the store.On his way home,he dropped a letter off at the post office addressed to Sarah Walsh.Afraid that she could get more information,the man had a plan to try to scare her off.
He then got a cab, went to the airport, and boarded a plane to Orlando,Florida.
