Chapter 5

After eating our pancakes I forced my friends to take a nap to help them recover from the jet lag. While they napped I went to take some of our leftover pancakes to Rin and Ren. Rin had managed to calm down Ren and Ren showed me a message from Crainer on Ian's computer. I copied down the skype address to be able to message him back later. Living across the ocean, he had no idea what was going on so letting him know might not be a bad idea. Crainer's a nice guy and I think we can trust him. After about an hour of hanging out with them, I headed back home. My friends were all still sleeping so I decided to message Crainer. I went onto my skype and typed in the address and sent a message.

Me: Crainer?

Crainer: Hello? Who is this? And how did you get this?

Me: My name is Mia, I'm a friend of Ian's. Would you mind if I called you?

Crainer: ... Yeah that's fine.

I moved my mouse over the call button and hit the video call. It made the little bubble sound and Crainer's face appeared on screen, he looked very not like himself. He looked tired, sad and slightly unshaven. I was slightly taken aback, guess what Sam said was right, he does seem really worried. He put on a fake smile.

"S-so you're one of Ian's friends?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, I'm his neighbor." I gave him a smile. "I'm actually a big fan, so it's really cool to actually talk to you."

An embarrassed flush spread across his whole face. "Aw gee, thanks so much. I... I really needed that."

"Yeah... I can tell, are you okay?"

He gave a slight shake of his head. "I'm really worried about Ian... I-is he there?"

Now it was my turn to shake my head. "That's one of the reasons I asked to call you Ben." I said using his real name. "I wanted to kind of explain to you what's going on, but I was worried not doing it face to face, you might not believe me."

His expression turned to one more serious. "Try me." So I did. I explained everything that had happened, like how I did to my friends and he sat patiently and listened. I was really surprised, for how crazy he is in videos, he's surprisingly a really good listener. When I had finished his eyes were so wide I could clearly see their color in the iris. I patiently waited for a response as he let it soak in. "So... You're trying to find him?"

I nodded. "We will find him."

"I may live over in Denmark... But if there's anything I can do for you over here to help. I'm willing to help you guys out." He said with a smile.

"Thanks, Crainer. I'll keep you in the loop okay?"

"Sounds good. Hey thank you so much, I really appreciate it."

"Of course. Talk to you later."

"Byyye!"

I hit the end call button and leaned back in my chair.

The rest of that day consisted of sleeping and movies. We all went to bed early and woke up early, well I did at least. I went out and made some breakfast with my parents, we made some of my mom's amazing french toast. (We like breakfast food don't judge). It was when we started grilling the toast that my friends started to emerge from the bedroom and basically it was similar to yesterday. My parents left for work, we ate and cleaned up and then we went and got dressed.

"Alright guys, as I promised today is the day we're going to meet the rest of the guys." I said.

My friends burst into a fit of squeals.
