The fuego was out and the firemen left when a familiar car was parked at the same spot the fuego truck had been parked. The door opened and Zoey stepped out. She quickly walked up to Cas.
“What happened? Where’s Daphne?” she asked insisting. The man from Ethan Allen’s walked to his car and left. His colleagues had left the new furniture on the drive. Zoey looked at them. “What’s this?”
Cas smiled nervous. Since Zoey knew Cas smiled rarely she was immediately alerted. “Okay, spill, what did I miss?”
Cas coughed. “I might have done some regrettable things last night. And thirty minutos hace as well” he said.
“Explain regrettable” Zoey replied. Cas told her what had happened last night and he expected a lecture, but Zoey just rolled her eyes up. She looked back at the furniture. “We can’t leave this here” She nodded at the house. “How bad is it?”
“I’ll take a look” Cas said.
He was back faster than the wind. “The cocina is pretty bad, but the other parts of the house have been spared”
“Okay” Zoey said, thinking. “Let’s get these inside”
After all furniture was settled in the living room, still unwrapped, Zoey looked at the mess. “Where’s Daphne?” she asked again.
“I don’t know” Cas answered.
“Do tu know when she’ll be back?” Zoey asked.
“No”
“Let’s go then” Zoey said.
“Where to?” Cas asked.
Zoey didn’t answer, but searched a piece of paper and a pen. She found both somewhere on the cocina floor. She scribbled something on it. Cas didn’t get a chance to read it, because as soon as she put it on the mesa, tabla she took Cas’ arm and forced him to come with her.
Not having the nerve to protest Cas got into her car and Zoey did the same. She started the engines and drove away.
A few minutos later she parked the car in front of a forest. She stepped out and Cas understood he had to do the same.
“We walk from here” Zoey explained and she guided Cas through the forest until they were at a lake.
“This is where Daphne found me” Cas dicho soft.
“Yeah, I come here a lot…with Alex and Gerard” Zoey said. “Daphne doesn’t like it here very much” She looked up. “Bad memories” she vaguely explained.
