involved."
Aurina
had been thinking about David since she woke that morning, and she still
couldn’t find any signs that should have alerted her to what David was a part of.
"You
didn't have much of a choice. Based on David’s reaction to me I think I was
involved already, if only a small part. I'm not sorry I was there for you. I
just think this has been blown out of proportion, don't you? I mean how hard
can it be to find this guy?"
Aurina
had to admit being under house arrest was not what she had in mind when they
found out Jeremy might mean them harm.
"I
guess. I think Jeremy should be treated as a real threat though Rye. You heard
how those girls were murdered, right?” Aurina tried not to think about it, and
shrugged as Ryanne nodded, “I know what you mean though. This is definitely
extreme. I wish they hadn’t taken our cell phones. I want to talk to Mom and
Dad."
"They
brought us out to the boonies with no real means of communication."
"Yeah, which apparently you've
always wanted to live in." Aurina smirked, and picked up the paper
and pen.
"Well...I've
thought about it sometimes. It was out of my mouth before I knew it. I was
tired." She moved to sit on the sofa with her sister. "What are you
doing?"
"Making a grocery list. We need food in
this house. We also need more than one change of clothes."
"True.
It was nice of them to leave us some things here though. Soap, shampoo, tooth
brushes, and tooth paste." Aurina remembered seeing the no name brand
shampoo in the shower when she brushed her teeth that morning.
"I
wonder who got them for us? "
"I
bet it was Blake." As Ryanne suggested the idea, Aurina blushed. “He’s hot
right?”
"My
bet's on Max. I think he's a rookie cop looking to impress Crawley."
Aurina looked out the bay window, where Max sat in his car.
"How
would providing us with toiletries impress Crawley?"
Aurina
shrugged. "I wish we had a car."
"Why,
we can’t go anywhere on our own. What's the point?"
"I'd
just feel more secure."
They
both heard the sound of a car door slam shut out the front, and when Aurina
looked back out the window, she saw Max walking slowly up the driveway.
"Speak
of the devil." Aurina pointed him out.
Max
jogged up the front porch steps to their door, and knocked twice. Ryanne went
to unlock it.
"Hi."
Max said as he came in and decided to take his shoes off this time. "I
thought Blake was supposed to be home by now? How was your sleep?"
"We
over-slept." Ryanne told him as they entered the living room.
"Hi Aurina."
"Hi
Max, have a seat." Aurina noticed Max was in plain clothes, jeans and a
button up black shirt. "I'd offer you a drink, but all we have is tea and
instant coffee, no milk or sugar."
"Yeah,
I’m sorry about that. We only found out about you coming the night before last,
it didn’t give us much time to prepare. I thought Blake would have taken you
guys out by now." Max sat down on the love seat, and crossed his ankle
over his knee.
"He
said he would, but we haven't heard from him yet." Ryanne told him, and
curled up on the couch.
"Well,
I'd be happy to take you guys out if you want? You must be starving, I know I
am."
Rain
began to patter softly against the front bay window, and they could hear it
harder on the roof.
"I
guess it's a crappy day to go out anyway." Ryanne grumbled looking out the
window.
“People
around here would disagree,” Max smiled, “Lots of my friends like to go
muddin’.”
“ Mudding ?”
Aurina asked.
“Yeah,
you take your truck through muddy back roads, and off roading.”
Aurina
looked from Ryanne back to Max. “Never heard of it.” Aurina thought it probably wasn’t an activity that a police officer should be
advocating. She looked to Ryanne, who looked out the front window. "I was
just making a list of..."
"Look,
Blake's here!' Ryanne pointed out the window as Blake flew down the dirt road,
coming to a quick stop in his driveway. He got out of his blue pick-up with
bags in his hands, and
