Lost and Found

Chapter 34

Sara stayed true to her word. Over the course of the three races leading up to the Japanese Grand Prix, she forced herself to watch the races until she finally thought it to be safe to join Carlos on the track again.

Japan had always been a place Sara had wanted to go and now she had the opportunity, she wasn't going to miss out on it. Besides, if she wouldn't be ready to be on track, she could always go back to the hotel and watch it from there like she had done the past times back home.

"This bloody weather." Sara pulled the sleeves of her sweater further over her hands. "I hate this place." Carlos laughed as he pulled Sara against his chest. "I hate this weather." The Japanese weather was far from ideal with a typhoon coming their way.

"It's the perfect kind of weather to stay in, however." Sara snuggled further into Carlos' chest as he pulled the covers up even more.

"Is the thermostat broken or something?" Sara's teeth started to clatter. "It is bloody cold in here." They remained in bed for an hour more until Carlos' phone rang.

"Hey, Lando, what is up?" Carlos laughed. "No, Lando, don't even think about it." Sara sighed, she could hear Lando's voice through the phone but she couldn't understand what he was saying. "I'll ask Sara, I'll let you know." Carlos ended the call and looked down at Sara. "Lando asked if we wanted to come down to the lobby to play some games."

"Really?" Sara pouted.

"Come on, we can't stay in bed all day."

"Yes, we can." Carlos got out of bed. "No..." Sara pouted and rolled herself deeper into the covers. "I really want to stay in."

"You need to get out Sara. It will do you good to spend a day with the drivers, seeing the other side of them like you knew Anthoine. Like you know me and Pierre. Maybe it will do you good?"

"Right now you are just trying to convince me to come with you." Sara laughed.

"Is it working?" Carlos asked hopefully.

"It seems like it is." Sara hesitantly came from under the covers. "But I am going to get dressed in two layers of clothes and I am taking a blanket."

"Sure." Carlos walked back to Sara and kissed her. "I love you." He kissed her again. "And your silly little mannerisms." Sara chuckled.

"I love you too." They got ready and walked to the lobby, where a group of drivers had already gathered as the weather outside was horrible, inside, it was warm and cosy.

Carlos told her when they left the room, that he had simply not yet turned on the thermostat, that was why it was that cold in the room. She had called him a bastard and he had simply laughed.

"Hey, guys." Carlos greeted his friends and Sara introduced herself to those she did not know yet. They sat down and Lando quickly came with the idea to play Werewolves of Millers Hollow. It was one of the very few games they could play with the number of people they had.

They played their first game and as fate had it, there was a certain joker that had the cupid card and coupled up Sara and Carlos. When the two found out, it took them a whole three seconds to realise it had been Lando who had put them together.

Conveniently, Lando was one of the last players to be eliminated by the werewolves, leaving just two villagers and two werewolves.

"Okay, so I have a theory." Sara started. Lando was a cupid, as we can see and he coupled two people up. So far, the couple hasn't been voted out yet. Now I am half of the couple and with the blatant accusations on my part to a certain werewolf, I am pretty sure that my other half is a werewolf as well so I can't be killed without killing a werewolf as well."
