Laughing, Micah said, “You don’t have to lie. I know that you are relieved that I’m going. I’ve caused a little bit of stress since I’ve been here.”
“That wasn’t your fault. Better you were caught by the hunters and could deal with the issue than tourists who have no idea about what is going on. We’ve had a few disappear.”
Micah just grinned. Dillon wasn’t fooling anyone.
Just as Micah was about to leave, Raf walked in.
“Hey, guys, what’s up?” he asked.
“Nothing much,” Dillon replied.
“I was hoping to find you here, Micah. Listen, I was wondering if you guys have any idea about what happened to Alexis. We found a note saying that she had fallen in love and she was leaving with him. But she left everything behind, except for her purse.”
Dillon shrugged and said, “I have no idea.”
Micah shook his head.
Raf turned and looked at Micah, trying to stare him down.
“She left at the same time that your buddy, Dean, did.”
“I don’t know anything. Dean and I haven’t hung out in a while, although he did mention talking to Alexis a couple of times,” Micah said.
“You mentioned that the note said that she fell in love and was leaving with the man. You know how easy it is for her to fall in love with someone. She had a thing for Noah, then me, and then Luke. Is it really such a stretch to think that she would fancy herself in love with another man?” Dillon asked.
Raf sighed heavily and scratched his chin.
“No, I guess not. I just find it strange that she didn’t say anything to me, Jerry, or Xavier. You would have thought that she would at least tell us goodbye.”
“Maybe she thought that you would try to talk her out of leaving. She may have been worried that you would point out all the other times she fell in love and would try to make her see that this was just another infatuation,” Dillon replied.
“I guess that could be the case,” Raf said. “Because there is no way in hell that we would have let her go, even if we had to lock her in her room.”
“Love makes people do crazy things,” Dillon said. “What are you going to do now?”
Raf sighed heavily again.
“I don’t know. She is an adult and is capable of making her own decisions about her life, even if those decisions are reckless.”
Micah hoped with every fiber of his being that the Faisons would leave it at that. It wouldn’t solve the problem of Dean having a kidnap victim, but it would turn down the heat a little.
“If and when she’s ready to come back home, she is quite capable of doing that,” Raf said, more to himself than Dillon or Micah.
“Maybe I’ll give it a while and see if she contacts us. If not, we might try to find her to make sure she’s okay.”
“I’m sure she’ll contact you when she’s ready,” Dillon said. “Alexis is the kind of person who will do things on her own time, when she is good and ready, and not a second before.”
“That is true,” Raf agreed. “Thanks, guys.”
When he was gone, Dillon looked at Micah.
“You know more than you were letting on, weren’t you?”
“I might,” Micah said.
“What happened to Alexis? Where is she?”
Micah opened his mouth to tell Dillon what happened, but then Dillon said, “Never mind. I don’t want to know.”
