The Planet Friday 6:30pm

————Tina———–

 I could tell that Bette was nervous as we waited for the other’s to arrive it had been so long since we had welcomed new people into our tight knit family and for them to be invited on Friday night out was a big deal. Friday was family night. Kit always had all the kids and spoiled them rotten and the adults got to have a good time before Kit dropped them back in the morning. Before long everyone was seated around our regular table and we were just waiting for Andy and Rachel.

Just then Bette’s phone rang.

“Bette Porter.”

She answered then listened as the caller spoke she looked very confused as she hung up the phone.

“That was Rachel.”

She shook her head as if trying to clear her thoughts and Alice had to prompt her before she continued.

“She needs us to go and meet her, she is about twenty minutes out of the city on the way to Peggy’s beach house. She says we need to bring some tools so she can sort out some engine trouble. Then she needs someone to go and get Andy while she sorts out the car. But she didn’t say where from. Weren’t they together?”

Now looks were exchanged and I could see us all jumping to the worst conclusions. If they were not together then what the ***** had happened they could hardly stop touching each other when we saw them this morning.

Because of this and everyone’s unwillingness to be left out we all set out in two cars to find Rachel and some answers to the questions we all, especially Alice, had.

“There she is, there she is.”

I realise I am shouting in Dana’s ear and sit back in my seat I can see Jenny laughing at me from the back seat and glare at her in the mirror.  

Finally we pull up behind Bette’s Saab Shane was leaning over the engine with Rachel and it looked like they were pulling a cell phone out as I walked over. Before I could get to her to find out any thing I felt a strong hand grab my arm.
