It's been five days since the girls had found Harry, three days since he has been conscious, he is having a speedy recovery but still he was weak. He was mostly in bed rest as he was not allowed to exhaust his body. He still needed support in moving from bedroom to living area or outside in the deck. Outside when the waves met the shore and seagulls sang, in a sarcastic way Harry played them background music - playing guitar.

It was Kate's mother guitar that she had in her room. She wasn't a expert but she was somewhat fine. He has a beautiful voice and played impressively Kate would think as she leaned against the wall and hear him getting lost into this lyrical world.

The sea view felt different from his presence, in a good way but instead of truly enjoying the moment in carefreeness, Kate's mind was running wild into the forest of downfall; he has to safely get back to his home, his family and not get noticed anywhere by anyone, but there's a chance someone might see him and get suspicious. What would happen if someone finds out about him after he's gone? When it's just the girl to face the consequences. They won't get second chances and could spend rest of their lives in prison or worse, get killed. Her mind was getting crazier as every second went by, until she was pulled out of it by Harry's voice. " 'ey, you okay?"  Kate just smiled and nodded.

"You wanna try?" Harry asked, holding up the guitar.
"Uh...n-no. I don't wanna be laugh of the day. I'm not good at it and been outta practice anyway so...umm.. you continue." She nervously looked at the ground.
" 'ere let me help you." Harry patted his hand on the seat next to him, "you help me huh?" Kate tease while sitting down, "that's the only thing I can help you with, not compared to what you've done for me."
"I did what I was right. Don't mention it." She shrugged off.

Harry hand over the guitar to Kate and moved behind her. With back facing him, his arms stretched over to hold her palm and slowly glide her fingers back and forth onto the strings. It was definitely an electric touch if you'd ask Kate. It was what she felt for the first time in her lifetime. Right now they were lost in the moment.

Rave's POV:

My brother has agreed to help us after detailed explanation of the whole situation. He assured me that he would be arranging some sort of transportation and intelligence just in case words get in about him. I was getting caught in my own thoughts when Mila reach out to me. "Rave what are you doin' 'ere?" She must have come to see his father, Commander Antonio Conti, and seen me leaving the building. "Nothing special. Just meeting my brother, had to talk about something."

"Aw, it must be something because you know, you two siblings what could be so important for you to come here, to meet him in person and not over a telephone?"

"I can come and talk to him about anything. That's none of your concern Mila. Stop bothering me and get the fuck outta here." Rave states, now increasing the pace.
