Different Point of View
Clark woke up, as always, earlier than the others. He kissed Rachel on the forehead before he get up, softly as to not wake her. He got into the shower and did his morning routine. Clark got out as Rachel started to wake up.
“Good Mornin’, Sleeping Beauty,” he said as he walked over to her and gave her a slight kiss on the lips. All he had on was a towel tied around his waist.
“Does it have to be morning?” Rachel pouted as she got up and stretched.
“Come on let’s get back to bed,” Rachel jumped in front of Clark and swiped his towel away from him only to see his boxers.
Clark just smiled and got his dress pants on.
“You are no fun,” Rachel said pouting back to bed. Clark looked back and walked over to her.
“I’m sorry. Maybe I can…” everything was lost in a whisper but everything was better as Rachel nodded her head eagerly with a big smile.
“No go. It’s time to wake everyone up. And you should be getting ready to go to work,” Clark said and got to his closet to grab a shirt as Rachel scurried off to the bathroom.
Clark got out of the room and walked over to Kenji’s room. He knocked on the door until he heard something hit the door itself.
“Kenji! Don’t through things at the door!” Clark yelled at the door.
“*mumble* Sorry! I’m awake!!” Kenji’s voice mumbled through the doorway.
Clark shook his head and walked over to Ken and Souta’s room. Clark knocked and Ken opened the door, with a towel in hand and a pair of pants.
“Good Mornin’ Clark,” Ken said, “Souta just woke up. He’ll be out in a minute.”
“Oh Alright thanks. Oh Rachel’s using the bathroom,” Clark said as he was just about to walk upstairs.
“Oh. I guess I’ll ask the others if I can use theirs,” Ken said as he walked behind Clark.
“Do you mind waking the three up for me? I’m going to make some coffee,” Clark said as he walked into the kitchen.
“No prob,” Ken said, as he turned left, reaching the top of the stairs, with Clark.
Ken walked to the door to the end of the hallway and decided to wake the door to the right. He knocked on the door, countless times, only to be answered by silence. Ken heard a door creak to the left side of him. He peered over to find a sleepy Bri coming out.
“Hey, have you seen Evellyn?” Bri’s voice still echoed of sleep.
“No, but the others might have. I just woke up,” Ken said returning to the door in front of him.
Bri mumbled thanks and walked off to find out where Evellyn was located.
“Hey, man. I just want to know if I can use your shower. Teniji, man, wake up. Look I’m coming in,” Ken said as he turned the unlocked doorknob.
The room was fairly clean. The bed was made, and nobody was in sight. Ken got out and walked to the kitchen. Rachel was already in her suit, having a cup of coffee with the newspaper in hand. Clark was busy mixing his coffee. Ken looked to the staircase and saw Kenjis’ shaggy brown hair started to ascend.
“Are they up yet?” Clark asked looking over to Ken.
“I can’t find them,” Ken stated and looked back at Kenji.
“Hey Kenji. Do me a favor. Can you check if Teniji’s car is out there?” Ken asked.
“Huh? Oh…uh… yeah. No his car is still here. Why?” Kenji asked as he reached the end of the staircase.
“We can’t find him-,” Rachel stated over her papers, but was then cut off by Bri.
“And Evellyn too,” Bri stated.
“Why don’t we just call their cell phone?” Souta came in, over hearing the conversation.
Bri grabbed the house phone and started dialing Evellyn’s number. Everyone was silent as they tried to hear if Evellyn would pick up the phone. A low techno music was coming from a room down the hallway. Bri ran into her room to find that the dresser near the door had a vibrating tone. She looked and found Ev’s cell phone. She sighed and turned off the house phone, making the cell phone stop ringing.
Bri walked back out. Her worried face didn’t comfort the others.
“Bri why don’t you try calling Teniji?” Souta suggested. Bri looked at the phone in her hand and dialed Teniji’s number.
“Hey…” Teniji’s voice came.
“Hello? Teniji? Is Ev with you?” Bri asked frantically.
“I’m not here right now. So leave your name, number, a brief mess-“ Bri turned off the phone.
“His cell is off,” Bri said placing the phone down on the counter.
“Well they can’t go far. I’m sure they’ll take Teniji’s car if they have to go anywhere,” Kenji thought.
“Maybe they’re still in the house,” Rachel thought.
“Bri, why don’t you call up Bryan and ask if they’ve seen the two. The other’s and I will look throughout the house before we go out and look for them outside,” Clark said. He started to sound less like a manager and more like a sergeant.
“Souta, you search the second floor. Ken, you search the third floor. Rachel, you search first floor. Kenji, you search garage and I’ll search the yard. Alright let’s go,” Clark finished off. Everyone looked at him questioningly but set off for their duties.
The search started. Every perimeter was not left untouched. As Bri called around town asking if they’ve seen the two. Ken had just finished helping Souta search the second floor when he stepped foot on the step towards the basement. Ken turned on the light and looked around him. He saw that there was a red bat that had big Kanji characters, written in permanent marker. He looked passed the stairway railing and saw a body on the couch and one on the floor.
“Souta! I think I’ve found them!” Ken said as he stepped back out onto the second floor.
Everyone hearing Ken’s announcement came straight down to the third floor. They looked at the two and saw an acoustic guitar, paper, and pencil lying out next to Teniji.
The rustle and bustle had woken Teniji up. He sat up and ran his hand through his hair not yet noticing the others beside him. He turned to look at Evellyn and sighed. He then turned to look at the slightly enclosed air. He jumped back a little.
“Jeez! What the hell do you think you’re doing? Trying to kill me?” Teniji said getting up, picking up the guitar and putting it away.
“Were the two of you here the whole night?” Rachel asked.
“Yeah,” Teniji said as he came back for the paper and pencil.
“No wonder why you couldn’t hear us,” Kenji said
“The least you could’ve done was turn on your cell phone,” Bri said as she knelt down by Ev.
“Sorry my cell phone ran out of batteries,” Teniji said.
Evellyn’s eyes fluttered open. She stretched in her sleeping position. She kissed Bri’s cheek.
“Good Mornin’ everyone,” Evellyn said cheerfully.
Everyone responded back. Evellyn got up and followed the rest of the crew back to the kitchen. Ken had taken his shower in Teniji’s bathroom. Rachel had left for work, hoping to make it on time but for reassurance Clark called in [secretly] and explained to her boss. He had accepted the apology and let Rachel slide.
Once everyone was set and done Clark had called everyone to the kitchen.
“Alright I’ve finally gotten the schedule for our tour. *passes out papers* The tour starts on a week from today, meaning the 15th. A tour bus has already been arranged. The bus will be here on the 13th to pack up the equipment,” Clark said.
“But it says here that we’ll be performing here on the 15th,” Evellyn stated.
“That’s right. I want all of you to get comfortable in a big stage and since you have all felt comfortable with this community. I thought it’d be better to start here. Of course we do need backstage crew to help us. So I thought maybe having Bri, Ken and Rachel come with us. Of course this must be professionally done. Seeing that you two have helped a lot during their shows, it would be best to have someone close to help. Don’t worry I won’t have this job undone, you two will be paid,” Clark explained.
“What about Rachel? Does she know about this?” Bri asked.
“Of course I talked about this to her last night. She says she’s willing to do it,” Clark finished.
“ALL RIGHT!!!” Everyone yelled.
