"I'm really worried about her" Vivienne said pacing about

"Do you think we should go to the police?" Kate asked her father equally worried.

"Let's wait a day or two. If she still doesn't show up then we'll carry this matter over to the police"

Just then Winifred, the last daughter walked in

"What did Mel say?" Lionel asked

"She said that Yvonne had gone to see Zach yesterday morning at his office in his ship and since then, she hadn't seen any of them either. So I went over to the docks and checked myself but the ship was nowhere to be found" Winifred said

"Do you think they both went sailing together?" Vivienne asked incredulously though not believing for a minute that her elder sister could do something as drastic as that

"Though Yvonne is not exactly the boring, nerdy type, I hardly think that she would do something that foolishly exciting and not tell us or even give us a call or send a text message" Kate said snortingly

"Well, I did tell her to get a story from Mr Zachary Knight at all cost" Lionel clipped in guilty, haven be quiet since

"What?!! Dad!!!!!" The three girls all chorused, surprised.

"I hope they don't go to the police and report about a missing person" Mel said worriedly to her only daughter Ahsha after she'd just finished confiding in Ahsha and telling her about her matchmaking plans

You shouldn't have tried to even play that sought of prank at all" Ahsha chided reprimandingly "but now that you have, what do we do? How do we keep the Fitzman from going to the police?"

"I think I have a plan" Mel said. Her head sparkling with another idea. She was happy Ahsha had said 'we'

"Where am I? and why're we on the same bed?" Eve asked Zach

"This is our new room for possibly weeks to come. I was telling you that when you passed out"

"Oh! Right. I can remember now. By any chance, are we going to die out here?"

He merely chuckled "oh no. By any chance, it would be fun out here. There's enough food that can last us for months to come, enough games and entertainment, we definitely wouldn't get bored, tired or dead" Zach said assuringly still bemused.

"That's a relief then. Is it possible to call my parents and tell them that I'm alright?"

"There's no network out here. It wouldn't be possible, I'm sorry"

"It's okay as long as I don't wind up dead"

"We could go shopping" he suggested

"Shopping?" Eve asked cocking an eyebrow
