Rachel was calling Amber's phone like crazy, when she got back to the table she saw it was sitting there. Rachel really started to panic; Amber never goes anywhere without her phone. The first thought was that Benny got a hold of her.
Rachel went up to the D.J. and asked if he could make an announcement to find her friend. He called over the manager. Rachel explained the situation and they agreed.
Amber's name was called twice and she did not show up. The manager asked Rachel to show him where they were sitting so he could asses the situation. They asked the bouncer and he said he saw her leave with a younger man, someone too young to be in the club.
As they were all trying to figure out what to do, when Amber came strolling up.
"What's all the comotion about?" Amber asked Rachel.
"My friend is missing and we are....." Rachel looked up and saw it was Amber.
"We are trying to decide the best place to dump her body when we find her and I kill her." Rachel said furiously at Amber.
"Where the fuck were you, we have been looking everywhere?"
Oh sorry, Mitch text me and I found out he was here. He was hitting me up for money for a movie and I had $10 in my pocket. So I ran to the theater real quick to give it to him. No biggie." Amber replied airily.
"No biggie? No biggie? We were frantic trying to find you. You need to think before you act Amber. I thought Benny might have gotten you or worse!" Rachel replied to her friend, still enraged.
"I will be right back do not go anywhere until I get back do-you-under-stand?" Rachel said these last words slow and loud.
"Yes-I-Do!" Amber answered back the same way chortling.
Rachel found Jace in the same place as he was, bent at the knees with his hands over his face.
"All is well, she is over there." Rachel whispered to Jace.
Jace shot up like a bullet out of a gun, almost hitting Rachel in the nose with his head. He peered over Rachel's shoulder. Like a kid peering around the corner when he is hiding, to see if he is close to being found. He was grinning ear to ear.
Jace was at the table in two steps and sat down next to Amber. She did not notice him; she was busy snarfing her fruit platter.
"Hi ber-ber." He said to her.
Amber instantly started to choke; not just because she saw it was Jace, but because he called her a nick name that only her father Greg used to call her. No one knew that name except Amber, Greg, and Debbie. Amber didn't even think her brother knew that name; he would have been too young to remember.
At that moment Rachel came over and shouted "surprise" with that stupid grin on her face.
Amber rose from her spot and excused herself. She yanked Rachel's arm as if she was trying to rip it off, and pulled her away from where Jace could not hear her.
"How could you do this to me? Why did you do this?"
"I thought that this would be a great spot for you to make amends and have a bit of fun." Rachel said her voice breaking.
