[Allison Preston-Riggs is sitting next to the window in one of the smaller jets that the family uses to travel back and forth on when it wasn’t the whole Pack traveling. Sitting next to her, holding her hand was her girlfriend, Bella Zanetti. Allison had gotten her parents to watch the kids so she and Bella could fly back to New Jersey to talk to Dane.]
BellaZ: It’s going to be okay, AlleyCat.
ARP: I don’t know. I may have fucked totally and completely up. Like he wasn’t in the right frame of mind anyway, attacking my dad and all that, but then I kissed Joe? And he’s been drinking?
BellaZ: Let’s not worry about that until we have to worry about that. [Bella raised her hand to her lips and gave the back of it a kiss despite being a little mad at Allie herself.] We probably… or should I say you all probably… just need to sit down and have a talk.
ARP: We… you’re part of us, too.
BellaZ: We then. [Bella gave her hand a squeeze.]
[The rest of the flight went without incident and when they landed at the airport they went straight to parking and to the car that was left at the airport. Within 30 mins they were pulling up at the guard shack and being let in. Making their way through the Compound all the houses were eerily dark, including the Riggs house when they pulled up. Allison felt her heart drop, she pushed all the negative thoughts out of her mind as they got out of the car. Allie put in the code for the front door and they walked in. She immediately began turning on lights as she made her way to the room she and Dane shared when they had lived here and turned on the light. The bed was unmade… and empty. She whirled around and looked at Bella.]
ARP: Oh, my God, Bella.
[Bella pulled her cell phone out of her back pocket and quickly dialed Dane’s number as she walked over, took Allie by the hand and led her out into the living room as they sat on the couch to wait for Dane to answer.]
