"Oh my goodness," I say, those being the only words with the ability to escape my mouth. 

"I know," Lucas states with the sound of disappointment in his voice.

 "Could it be him?" I ask. 

"I'm not sure, mio amore, but he's the only evidence we have right now."

 "Can someone explain to me what the heck is going on?" Sarah asks.

 Lucas and I look at her and right when we do Dante comes barging in the house, "Dante's here!" 

Sarah, forgetting what she was just curious about runs up to Dante and kisses him right on the mouth. 

Well dang. 

I look awkwardly away a bit and then back at them as Dante breaks the kiss and comes towards Lucas and I. 

Dante then looks down at Lucas's hand and says, "Holy SIM! Where'd you get that?" 

"I found it right here," Lucas responds. 

"Who does it belong to?" Lucas questions. 

"Am I the only one who doesn't know what's going on?" Sarah interrupts. 

"Yes," we all say in unison. 

"Well hell. Rude," Sarah responds. 

We then fill her in on everything we discussed. 

"Good great St. Pete!" was all she could say before she continues, "Well, now what? You know, he always did look creepy to me. See, you can't trust these butlers that work for you." 

"Sarah, you and Dante go get some breakfast. Rayne and I will stay here and look around," Lucas orders ignoring Sarah's extra comments. 

They agree and leave to go get breakfast as Lucas and I look around some more. 

We head into Marcello's bedroom room and found no type of evidence what so ever. 

"He sure is good at hiding stuff," I say and open his closet door. 

"Yeah. He really is good at hiding things or in this case, keeping things clean. He is a butler after all, but there has to be some evidence somewhere," he responds as he looks under the bed. 

All of sudden we hear a rattling nose. Lucas grabs and pushes me into the closet and closes the door, leaving a crack for us to see. The door opens and in comes Marcello. I gasp and Marcello froze. Lucas covers my mouth and pulls me closer towards the back of the closet as Marcello turns to look towards the closet door. We lean against the wall and when we do, the wall opens up, swallows us in and closes all in the length of time as Marcello opens the closet door.

 I was so close to freaking but before I could, Lucas ran to me and held me in his arms as he comforts me. 

"It's okay. Everything will be alright. I'm right here," he kisses my forehead gently. 

"Where are we?" I ask. 

"I don't know but it's an entrance way from his closet and it leads to outside," Lucas responds as he points to a small exit door. 

We suddenly hear another noise. Lucas takes my hand and pulls me next to him in a corner to hide. Marcello appears from the open closet way as it closes behind him. Lucas covers my mouth to make sure that I don't gasp again. 

Marcello scopes around not noticing us, grabs a sterling silver flash drive from his drawer and then goes back to the entrance way of his closet. He puts a key code in and goes back through the door as it closes behind him one final time. I let out a sigh as I turn to Lucas. 

"Are you okay?" He asks and turns me around to face him. 

"Not really, but I wouldn't have wanted to do this with anyone else but you," I reply. 

He smiles down at me and lifts up my chin. I look into his eyes and we make eye contact, our eye contact. He leans down slowly and I close my eyes as our lips touch.

He gently places his hand around my waist, pulling us closer as the kiss intensifies. I kiss him back running my hands through his hair. The feeling of his lips on mine was better than I had imagined. It was not the ideal place for a first kiss, but it was still perfect. His soft lips connected with mine ever so perfectly. Okay, I sound like I'm in some romance novel. Just know, he was a good kisser and we kiss good together.  We smile against each others lips as we start to pull apart.

 When the kiss was finally over, I smile a bit and say, "Yeah, I definitely wouldn't want to be anywhere else." 

He laughs, pulls me into a tight hug, kisses me one more time and says, "Come. Let's look around a bit and get out of here before Dante and Sarah come back or worse, Marcello." 

I nod as we start to look around.

"My dad has that same sterling silver flash drive that he has," Lucas explains. 

"Has he ever let you see it?" I question. 

He shakes his head, "No. He carries it around with him all the time but I'll definitely see if I can plug it in quickly after he leaves tonight" 

"That is, if he doesn't take it with him," I assume.

 Lucas nods as he takes out his phone and takes pictures of Marcello's information and account numbers before we head out the mini exit door. Right as we exit, we run right into Dante and Sarah.

"What are you two doing?" Dante asks. "

Where'd you two come from?" Sarah asks before giving us a chance to even answer Dante's. 

"We'll explain later. Let's go" Lucas says and intertwines my fingers with his.

 "Where are we going? I'm ready to eat," Dante whines.

 "We're going away from here," I say.

 "Why?" Sarah asks.

 "That's why," Lucas and I say in unison as we point to Marcello coming outside and scanning the area one last time before locking the mansion doors, getting into his car and driving away. We duck down before he could really see us but I wasn't sure if he really had or not. 

"Do you think he saw us?" Sarah whispers.

 "Hope not," I whisper back. 

Lucas slowly looks up and says, "Okay. He's gone. Let's go."

We arrive at another nice mansion a few streets down and boy was it just at nice.   

"Where are we?" Iask.

 "My place," Lucas responds. I freeze. 

"What's wrong?" Lucas asks as Dante and Sarah beat us to the front door. 

"I can't believe I'm about to meet your parents," I whisper. 

"What's wrong with that?" He laughs.

 "I thought the way I was going to meet them would be nicer than how it is right now."

 "What do you mean?" He questions. 

"I don't know. Maybe, showing up with more of a notice than it being unexpected. Also, I always thought I'd look way more decent," I say shyly. 

Lucas smirks and before he could respond, Dante interrupts, "Okay! Let's get in the house now" 

Lucas looks back down at me and says, "You're always beautiful and don't worry, they're going to love you. I'll introduce you to them slowly" 

"Your dad may not be if he ends up being guilty," I whisper as we head towards the door. 

"That may be true, but not that many people will like him anymore either," Lucas says as he opens the door. 

I sigh.

 "I'm home!" Lucas informs the whole house and we all follow him inside.

 "My son!" says a sweet and feminine voice as it comes from around the corner. She comes towards us and gives her son a hug. She then turns to me and says, "Who's this?" 

"Mom, this is Rayne, my girlfr- uh," Lucas says pausing. Smooth Lucas, way to introduce me slowly. "And this is her good friend Sarah," Lucas continues with an awkward smile.

"Rayne! This is the girl you've been talking about? She's so beautiful. Hello, I'm Donna Fontana," she says sweetly and gives me a hug. 

I smile shyly as his mom continues, "It's nice to meet you too, Sarah" 

Sarah smiles at her in return. 

Donna then looks towards Dante and reaches for him, "This is my other son" 

Dante returns the hug with a smile. 

"You have a very lovely home," I build up the courage to say.

 "You are so sweet. Lucas, keep her," she cheers and hugs me one more time before she continues, "Lucas, your father stepped out for a bit, but he'll be home soon. So, you four go make yourselves at home" 

"We will. Thank you!" Sarah says as Mrs. Fontana leaves and heads upstairs. 

"I'm going to get this food warmed up," Dante says holding his hand out for Sarah to take. 

Once they were out of sight I turn to face Lucas raising an eyebrow at him, "So, you talk about me?"

 He chuckles nervously, "Just a little" 

"Sure, babe and way to introduce me slowly " I say rolling my eyes.

"I caught myself, didn't I? I think I covered it well, " he shrugs before continuing, "Besides, I don't want to hide us. I want to tell everyone about you" 

"You do?" I smile.

"Of course, mio amore" 

"I love it when you call me that," I smile.

"What? 'Mio amore?'" Lucas smiles. 

"Si, io lo adoro," I smile trying to mentally dust off my crappy Italian from out of my abandoned box of the Italian language. 

Lucas grins at me as I lean up and give him a kiss before taking his hand and heading into the dining room to eat our brunch.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

After eating we head to Lucas's room to plan. We made a plan to search through his dad's office once they leave but this time, Lucas and Dante will search the office and Sarah and I will stay in Lucas's room and use his computer to investigate the evidence and hack into SIM, I mean, SIM's information. 

It was starting to get late and his parents were about to leave. We hear a knock on the door and then it opens. We luckily were watching a movie, so there was no reason to panic and hide any remaining evidence of our plan. Lucas pauses the movie and we all look towards the door. We see his parents peeking in.

"Wow. She really is beautiful," Mr. Fontana says. 

"Isn't she? She's so sweet too. I'm glad that our son found a great girlfriend," Mrs. Fontana agrees. 

"Yeah, dad, this is Rayne, my girlfriend" Lucas says catching his attention.

"Yeah, I knew you would tell us eventually. You couldn't deny it. Your mother had told me she saw you two kiss earlier today," Mr. Fontana smirks. 

 I stand to greet him to change the subject, "Hello Mr. Fontana" 

"Please, call me Giorgio," he smiles and shakes my hand before continuing, "My, if your mom is just a beautiful as you, no wonder Antonio fell in love with her" 

I smile shyly. 

"Well, we just wanted to let you guys know that we are leaving now and we'll be home late tonight so don't wait up," Mr. Fontana says showing his dashing smile. 

"Okay. No problem, dad. I may stay the night at uncle Antonio's, you know, helping out with work. So I may not be home when you two get back"

 "Okay, no problem. I've definitely been keeping up with the files and I've found nothing," Mr. Fontana says in a way that sounds really fake. 

Mrs. Fontana then pulls on his sleeve. 

"Well, it was nice meeting you both. I hope to see you both again," Mr. Fontana says as Mrs. Fontana pops her head back in, "Oh yes, please come back again. You're both so sweet and Rayne, I've never seen my son so happy"

 I smile as they close the door and head out. 

Once we heard the car drive off, we hop up to start our investigation. 

"Your dad seems either too freaky or too friendly if you ask me," Sarah says not biting her tongue. 

"Yeah, my mom swears he's cheating," Lucas says, rolls his eyes and then turns to face me.

 "I'm sorry about that," I say sadly. 

 "No, it's okay," he says pulling me into a hug. I hug him and when we release each other, he kisses my forehead and says, "I'll come back and check up on you in thirty minutes"

I nod as the guys leave the room. Sarah and I then head to the computer and I navigate my way through all of Antonio's systems and files through the company. I search all the numbers on Giorgio and Marcello and nothing would come up. I start to get a bit aggravated but decided to try again and something weird came up.

"What is that?" Sarah asks.

"I'm not sure," I respond curious myself.

Lucas then comes in and stops when he sees the computer screen. Dante and Lucas run to the screen and I move out of their way.

"Where did you get this?" Dante asks.

"I don't know. What'd I find?" I shrug.

"All the answers we need, " Lucas says printing out two copies, taking pictures with his phone and saving the evidence to his flash drive.

"While I'm looking at the flash drive, did you happen to find your dad's?" I ask Lucas. 

He shakes his head.

"Knowing him, he probably took it with him," Dante complains. 

Once all the evidence is stored and secured in a manila envelope Lucas turns to face me, "Ready to go back to Antonio's? I think we're done here."
